It’s taken me some time to admit it (and I’m not sure writing it here counts since I’m not admitting to anyone that knows me) but I am leading a semi double life. And the more I think about it, the more I wonder how many others out there are doing the same thing.
It started innocently enough I suppose. I do one type of activity with one group of friends. And other type of activity with another group of friends, which happens to include my husband. And the two don’t mix. And I don’t talk about the one group to the other, because I know there would be disapproval. AND, here I am, at this age and I’ve never told my parents about one set of friends, once again because of the disapproval factor. I feel the need to point out it’s nothing sinister, I just know they wouldn’t approve, and I just don’t need/want that situation to cloud anything else.
So in a strange way, I have a “closeted’ life. There is the life I show to others and the life I don’t. The life I share with some, and the life I share with others. The life I talk about, the life I don’t.
My double life. You want details? Do you do things you don’t share with others in your life?
I wonder.
