True love? Way back in HS; we were together for almost 5 years. Always thought we would get married, ha.
We got into university, started fighting a lot over a lot of things which is never a good sign. We then broke up, she went off & married some rich guy (now that I think about it her parents always wanted her to land a rich guy; I was not/never good enough for their daughter)
Don't think about her much now... Actually coming across this thread kickstarted some memories, both good, poignant, bad & best forgotten.
Last I heard she now has 2 kids, works in a bank, still married to that same dude I guess.
Funny enough she still runs into my mom occasionally, she shops at the store where my mom works as a cashier - she pretends to not recognize my mom which irks me
My mom always comments at how sad & forlorn she looks whenever she sees her.
After her, I sort of drifted through relationships, swung & whiffed on a lot of oportunities, I went through that period where if there was one thing wrong with a girl/woman, I focused on that & that was enough for me to bail, etc. Looking back at my behaviour then, now I'm pretty convinced I was going through a bout of undiagnosed clinical depression
What could have been; but probably is not for a reason.
