This is column is just one guy's opinion, and while he does his best to keep what he thinks, says and writes in-line with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, "Dear Bro Jo" is not an LDS Church website. (And Sister Jo thinks you should know that he's sometimes wrong, and often way too opinionated for his own good.)

Cheesy Wednesdays: The Ex-Ex - Part 2



[Dear Readers,

Welcome to another episode of Cheesy Wednesdays, where we follow one reader's forays and foibles though the world of LDS Teen Dating.

I've posted several letters from Cheese (and her friend, Mac) over the years; in fact, you can find them by clicking the "Cheese" Label on the side, but it's been a while so I'm going to be posting several of them over the next few Wednesdays.

Enjoy,

Bro Jo]





Dear Bro Jo,

Yeah that sums it up really well.

At the moment I am not in town so we haven't spent a ton of time together. But when I am around he will take me out for lunch, dinner, a movie, to go on a hike, go to the temple for baptisms, go bowling, go long boarding, go to a tumbling gym, or something like this usually once or twice a week if Daddy Cheese is in town, but when he is gone we go out 3 or 4 times a week.

While I'm gone we talk on the phone a lot. but don't text much (I don't like texting to be the main way I communicate).

I don't know what would happen if I got a kiss goodnight from another boy. I hadn't really thought about it.

I assume my BF would be hurt.

I would probably feel bad about it.

But I don't really know what would happen to us.

Dear Cheese,

I'm still not comfortable with someone as young as you are in this kind of Serious Single Dating committed relationship. I think you're going to miss out on a lot of stuff.

And I think the sneaking around behind your father's back is a big red flag.

Playing Juliet may seem romantic, but it never ends well.

 - Bro Jo




Dear Bro Jo,

I'm crazy busy for the next few days so this will be short.

I re-broke up with him.

This time I plan to keep it that way.

Dear Cheese,

Someday, when you have more time, I'd love to hear the story.

Best,

- Bro Jo
