Foolishly I thought I could "help" him even thought I knew better in my head. Needless to say he was self-destructive and and I eventually came to my senses.Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897165800930936073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-10177105571705883092009-03-04T02:27:00.000-05:002009-03-04T02:27:00.000-05:00Marty, yeah, bad boys can be fun for the short-ter...Marty, yeah, bad boys can be fun for the short-term, but a real pain for the duration.<BR/><BR/>Julie, I think we'll always love bad boys in fiction.<BR/><BR/>Sandy, you got the best of both worlds. So you actually tamed your bad boy...unless he's still naughty!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Amy. It was a fun story to write - and there's a great twist at the end ;)Mia Varanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513727320738220942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-31179887063328488342009-03-03T22:35:00.000-05:002009-03-03T22:35:00.000-05:00Great interview!

Okay, maybe that's stretching it! My first boyfriend was a bad boy and I have been disillusioned ever since. It'd be nice to believe a bad boy could be redeemed by love, but I'll choose the good guy. In fact, I did. But that's life. In fiction, I love to read about bad boys.<BR/><BR/>JulieJulie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-22115720409252540982009-03-03T14:09:00.001-05:002009-03-03T14:09:00.001-05:00Riley - ahh to be 18 and young and stupid again - ...Riley - ahh to be 18 and young and stupid again - NOT! Sounds like he's best left to fantasy.<BR/><BR/>Carly, I love bad boys in romance too - but in romance the love of a good woman always reforms them - not so in real life.<BR/><BR/>Wow, Martha - such drama. Glad you found your good guy.

He knew my past pattern which was to end a relationship after a year and a half or so if I could see it wasn't going anywhere. Guess he anticipated that and started dating (in secret) a work partner. When she discovered he hadn't broken up with me she threw a scene -- turned out she had followed him and discovered that he had been married all the while we dated!!! (Explained why he would leave at 4 or 5 in the morning). He wanted us to reconcile but I was able to refuse then!! I was well rid of him! Found my good guy a few years later and we've been happily married over 23 years now.Martha Eskuchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403539348594584733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-3763553878577848552009-03-03T13:46:00.000-05:002009-03-03T13:46:00.000-05:00I love bad boys in romance but in real life, never...I love bad boys in romance but in real life, never was attracted to them.
