Last night, Ramiro admitted to Brenda that he had been dating a woman from Mexico, and that they had started a sexual relationship as of last week. She is apparently someone with whom he shares a lot in common (she's also from Mexico), and she is single. Brenda told me that Ramiro was hopeful that he could continue his relationship with her (Brenda), but she is having difficulty with this.
You see, not only does Brenda feel the need to be sexually exclusive to only one man at a time, she needs to know that the man she is having a sexual relationship with is also sexually exclusive with her. As she put it, she has a need to feel like she and her lover are alone in a "bubble" together, sexually anyway. She isn't feeling any ill will towards Ramiro since, after all, she cannot offer his a complete "package": marriage, kids, home life, etc. But she is clear that if Ramiro wants to continue his relationship with his new beau, Brenda must end things with him.
Right now, Brenda is feeling really down, as she really loves Ramiro and feels like she belongs to him, in a sexual sense. But she cannot get past the idea that the same penis that is penetrating her is also penetrating another woman.
I will update as this situation unfolds.
