Sancho

Apparently Aidan has a girlfriend and since I am no longer living in the main house, I am (apparently) the last to know.

So the strange part is her name is the same name of my parental Grandmother, and so its hard for me to get around this fact...yet I have been told she is very pretty - as (apparently) others here have actually seen her.

It's no wonder, he is 6'2 handsome, intelligent and charming. She is one of the first in a long line I'm certain.

So tonight I asked him about it. Right before dating him she had a boyfriend for eight months thus I now understand why he was called "Sancho" by his brothers since the beginning of the year. Sancho is the dude that takes your girl-and (apparently) thats what Aidan aka "Sancho" did- took the girl.

That in itself is something I have never accomplished although I had certainly contemplated trying. I have never been "Sancho".

"So what happened that made her decided to leave her boyfriend?" I asked.

"What happened? I happened," he replied.

Sancho- the guy that takes your girl.

He told me she had already gotten mad at him once for something he objectively had no control.

"Welcome to it," I replied.

My experience has been in the venue of romance there is no real equity per se. Don't argue your position, accept guilt and request forgiveness and if needed retribution.

Most of the time if your not dating a complete psycho the girl will eventually come around either forget about it or admit she may have over reacted- translated although you plead guilty it really should have been a no contest.

The trick is if you are with someone truly psycho to not drink the koolaid, which is tough because your threshold for "acceptable" gets blurry and before you know it you find yourself on a Sunday morning bringing her bubbly water and advil for the hangover she got when she ditched you on a Saturday night to go out with her friends.

"Next time you get that drunk call me I'll come and get you," you'll hear yourself say.

"I didn't want to bother you so late," she'll reply- translated I hooked up with someone else...

But I don't think my step son "Sancho" will have that problem.

What happened...I happened...my new matra
