This has happened to me twice already, and who knows? Maybe even more than that with the ones I haven't been able to get info on.<BR/><BR/>Good thing you didn't end up married to him. But I can't help cracking up thinking about the wife's ultimatum: It's me or your band!

Imagine my disappointment when we broke up. (Actually, that probably deserves it's own post one day.)<BR/><BR/>He wound up marrying the girl he dated after me. I often wondered "why not me?!"<BR/><BR/>Less than a year after getting married, they were separated and he moved out. He told me the story of what happened and he was trashing his ex-wife because she made him chose 'her or his band'. The thing is I sided with her. All I could think was Thank God it wasn't me. <BR/><BR/>The universe works in mysterious ways.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02674153833571650706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456182.post-9477924928676902362008-07-28T20:59:00.000-04:002008-07-28T20:59:00.000-04:00OMG! i am so surprised you showed the restraint no...OMG! i am so surprised you showed the restraint not to kill him... eh fuck'emdoc4255https://www.blogger.com/profile/12025729913928284978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456182.post-43555683977830810372008-07-28T17:28:00.000-04:002008-07-28T17:28:00.000-04:00I completely agree!

If you examine it too closely then you will never do it.<BR/><BR/>Get married and be stuck in a loveless married as soon as possible, I've always said!steve@enginposthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10039393908809770143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456182.post-2535759991413137222008-07-28T17:20:00.000-04:002008-07-28T17:20:00.000-04:00Wow, wow wow.

I feel the same way. <BR/><BR/>Good that you're dating.

I never dated much for that exact reason. Why spend all that time trying to be happy when I have plenty of other things I could be doing that I know do make me happy?<BR/><BR/>I'm glad people are not jumping into marriages without really thinking of it as a lifetime commitment. We have enough divorces. And for me, even when I did find a guy I loved being with, it still took us 7 years to get married (although I don't recommend waiting that long if you really are ready to marry that person).<BR/><BR/>So maybe things are changing. But I whole-heartedly support not being with someone just to say you're with someone. It's so not worth it. And those people who give you a hard time about it, well we know what they can do with themselves...Chelchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212752615708008322noreply@blogger.com
