Hanging with my Girls!!!

Like I Can - Sam Smith (Cover)

Torn between Two

Welcome Back!!!!

So today's comes from Confused Girl.

Dear Mahoghany,

So I'm in a sticky situation.

I'm in a relationship with this dude that I really like. He's sweet and kind of looks like a quarterback football player.

I really like him, even love him; but with a perfect relationship, there's always the cons.

He smokes weed and although people say its good, it puts a damper on my mood.

 In addition, he has a one year old daughter.

And I totally understand that and I'm kind of okay with that. Though it means that he

wants to settle down with me ASAP.

A part of me wants that but I really want to enjoy my time being young and single live in LA and NYC and build my brand up.

 Now the second guy is this Russian guy that I fell in love with, and I'm still in love with him.

He just has issues lying and he disrespected me before but I feel like he's learned his lesson.

Do I take my ex back, or stay with stay with my current boyfriend, though a part of me just wants to date myself and enjoy doing what I want.

What do I do?

Sincerely,

Confused Girl

Dear Confused Girl,

So you're in LOVE!!!! 

It's a beautiful but a horrible thing.

 Let me clarify: It's beautiful that you are in love. 

It's horrible that you are in love with two guys. 

From what you told me about the first gentleman, I see a huge technicality: The fact that he is a father already.

That factor right there has a lot that folds into it like:

1. Is he there for his daughter?
2. Does he deal with his baby mother?
3. Are you ready to assert your position in that child's life, not as her mother, but as an adult that she can learn from and grow with?
4. If he does deal with his baby mother, are you ready to rumble in the baby mama drama?

If you have answered no to any of these questions, then he's not the person you need to deal with. Especially not long term.  

And chances are he wants to build a life ASAP so he can provide for his child and have her in his life; or he thinks you are the ONE, and wants to spend the rest of his life with you.

 

Now this Russian gentleman, 

There's a reason you aren't with him anymore. 

Presumably, it's because you would not allow yourself to be treated the way he was treating you. 

Kudos to you for sticking it to the man!!!

 But now you want him back. 

I will say this much: I'm a firm believer in forgiving and giving someone a second chance.

But there's always that one question in the back of your mind: 

He did it once, what makes you think he won't do it again?

So my ultimate opinion is this: 

You're young. You're gorgeous. You've got a whole life to live. 

Choose yourself. 

Enjoy being single and happy. 

Squat every day so that milkshake can bring the boys to your yard. 

Then mingle with all of them.

Because life is full of choices. 

And you deserve to have your pick of the crop. 

I hope this gives some insight as to what you should do.

Stay strong,

Mahoghany 

Extremely Distressed

My very first email comes from Extremely Distressed!!!!!! Shout out to you!!!!!

Dear Mahoghany,

I have been with my boyfriend for a little while now, and he has been really acting distant lately.

He always walks away while I'm talking to him, and he is forever on his phone. He never wants to be around me.

When I talk to our mutual friends, I hear from them that he is telling them that I'm clingy and promiscuous.

They are also telling me that he says his feelings are going down for me.

I hate to believe hearsay, but I can never get him to stay and talk to me. 

​I KNOW that I am not like how he is describing me to other people and I hate the fact that I might lose him.

How can I get him to talk to me?​

Should I break up with him?

Or should I let the chips fall where they may?

Thanks so much in advance,

-Extremely Distressed

Dear Extremely Distressed,

This is a really sticky situation for you. 

I would say that your best bet would be to give him his space.

You are his girlfriend, and if you are under him 24/8, he's gonna feel like you are smothering the life out of him. 

A relationship is wonderful, but the line is really thin between a relationship and monotony.

So take a week off from your boyfriend. 

I'M NOT SAYING TAKE A BREAK!!!! 

Never take breaks! They are the death of a relationship!!! Don't Do It!!!That's still your man, but you can't really be around him for a little bit. 

It's like personal leave with pay!!!! 

Who doesn't love that?

Take this time of learn more about you and what you can handle . 

I did this once and realized I hate the taste of diced tomatoes!!!!

Who knows?

You might learn something new about yourself....

Hope it all works out,

Mahoghany

Dear Mahoghany

Hi!

Welcome to me newest blog!

Here is the place where i will be doing a number of things I want to share.

Speaking of which, welcome to Dear Mahoghany!!!!

It's the section where you ask me for advice and I give it you!!!!

So why in the world did I create an advice segment on my blog? I did it for two reasons:

1. People ask me for my opinion a lot. so I figure that they must care about what I have to say.    
2.  I just think its so COOL and VINTAGE!!!!

This makes me feel like I'm in the 1950's.
It just feels cozy to me!!!

So stay posted and see what there is to offer! And if you have anything you'd like to talk about, contact me at discoverfoodforthoughtseries@gmail.com or thinkinginmahoghany@gmail.com


 Stay Strong,
Mahoghany
