Unlike me, Laura has a small circle of exes. It wasn't that bad, except that I had to get to know her personally.
Laura talks about her ex-boyfriend very openly and in detail. How they met, how they became a couple, what problems they had, why they separated and what their relationship is like now. “Good” in all cases, “very good” in some cases. Except for one man, let's call him Giovanni, things weren't that easy.
But since I'm easy, I don't think it's a problem that's not that easy.
Comment section: “Mimi Mimi, he acts like he doesn't care about anything. He suffers in the process. The boy is in pain. He just can't admit it! Mimi Mimi!”
people. If I had problems with this man, or in fact still has problems, would I be with a woman like Laura who originally gave away books about polyamory? If I have a problem, why don't I admit it? Because I want to look good in front of you? Because I want to please you? Aren't you starting to understand me better? even.

I have no problem with Giovanni, maybe because Giovanni lives in Italy. Not on the border, somewhere between Lugano and Milan, no, really far away. Near Naples.
Giovanni is, or rather was, a gardener, and the two of them meet in these kitschy romances the way everyone knows each other: while trimming hedges. The difference is that Laura is not the rich, older landlady, but Giovanni is the poor, young, shirtless gardener. They were about the same age when they met, both still very young. Lara wanted to learn Italian “properly” and after high school she went to Italy to work as a nanny/au pair/whatever and was hired by a very wealthy family and had to take care of a 12 year old, which was kind of pointless because She wanted to be like Laura said, especially alone. So she had a lot of time, and was sitting around a lot, and then at some point, the home gardener came, and instead of Giovanni, Giovanni was just working for the gardener as a temporary job as a summer job, and that's how they met.
It was the summer of the “Grande Amore” and then Laura returned to Switzerland, where Giovanni never came to visit her and rarely wrote. Back then, text messages were expensive and writing them was torture, or so he said. Laura wants to visit him, but he doesn't want to either, they have no future anyway, blah blah blah, I think he's just not that interested.
(Lara still cited distance and the cost of text messages as reasons for leaving.)
Celebrities are coming. So did Giovanni.
Today, Giovanni is no longer a gardener but a personal trainer to some of Italy’s biggest celebrities. The celebrity must go to Switzerland. Giovanni put two and two together and wrote to Laura.
Lala? Lost her fucking shit!
I've never seen her so off track. Now you can accuse her of, first of all, cheering up and second of all, this is not something she should be discussing with me. But if she doesn't discuss it with me, she could be accused of being dishonest with me. Somehow I understand teenage love. Somehow everything was cooked too hot and some of the demons were left behind.
Laura wants to meet Giovanni. She called it “the end.” She didn't know if he was now married and a father; she thought he must be Italian and they were both family men. And because she was too nervous and confused, she didn't want him to think that she had not made any progress in her life. She was just between two jobs. In professional terms, she was unemployed, but she had me, that's all. It was a grown-up thing, and at least at some point she had the brilliant idea that I should attend the meeting. As emotional support.
“Maybe it would be fun,” she said.
This guy is both beautiful and stupid
Yeah, what can I say: it's actually kind of funny. Not because the guy is interesting, but because he's so empty. He knows one thing: fitness. He talks extensively and in detail about his body and training. I now know how much protein he has to eat to keep everything going. Wrong, I've forgotten about it, but I remember thinking: This is crazy. He laughed at everything he said, even though they weren't funny at all. If he doesn't talk or the conversation turns to topics other than physical and nutritional value, he becomes completely overwhelmed. He doesn't understand sarcasm or irony at all.
There's no denying that he looks like a model from a PKZ commercial. You can tell at first glance that he is a personal trainer. What impressed me most was not his figure, but how neat his beard was. It's like someone measured the distance between beards. It's as if Leonardo himself had planned it.
Oh yeah, he's divorced, has a girlfriend who's also a personal trainer, and wants to wait to have kids, even though his mom keeps asking about it. Because he is a modern person, hahaha, he laughed again.
On the way home, Laura didn't say anything except that she appreciated my presence and that she didn't really know what she'd said to him over the summer. I almost said they probably didn't talk much, but then I thought something wasn't right.
Lala has been very clingy since afternoon. Giovanni is never mentioned again. And what about me? Bought her a house plant. Found her interesting. What Giovanni can do, I have been able to do for a long time. Except in the gym. Granted, I went there a little more than usual, and apparently Laura likes musclemen. Or maybe it would be enough for me to go to the barber shop instead of trimming my chin with my old machine…
So long,

Big Ben is…
…30s, living in a shared apartment. Surveys show his job ranks among the top ten sexiest jobs women find. He plays football but barely scores a goal (because he's a goalkeeper), he has many sisters, lots of them, and is obviously totally spoiled, but also enlightened (way too soon). He hates dress-up parties, but will dress up as Gandalf if necessary. Ben is single and has no interest in changing that.
The colder months don’t have to mean the end of adventures – especially when you’re traveling from the comfort of a train. Here are five trips you can take with the whole family, no matter the weather.
If you're traveling with children, it's worth planning a few things in advance – especially if you're bringing a pram. It’s a good idea to check online or in an app where you can find accessible routes, such as lifts and ramps at train stations, so everything goes smoothly. This is especially practical if there's a family car on the train – the little ones can have lots of fun with slides, boats etc. even before you reach your destination. Now let's see where our adventure takes us!
