OMG ok I feel the story like it was my own high school relationship, but one part made me LOL at work. “takes me to ”nice” restaurants (Olive Garden)” I remember when Ryan took me to Olive Garden for the first time. We dressed up. He wored kakhis, a button up shirt and a tie. I wore a dress. Fancy smchancy. We sat down, fixed our salads (which I really didn’t like at the time, but I got a little to feel mature) and Ryan got a lot, didn’t like and scooped it back into the bowl. I thought I would die from embarrassment. To this day we laugh about it while we are chowing down on the salad we now love with yummy breadsticks

Good lord, I am insufficiently caffeinated this morning. Edits for above comment: "Even before love, there must be trust." "ex-wife" as opposed to "e-wife". Sounds like some kind of Second Life relationship. Last blog post from muttmutt - Another NaNoWriMo Cartoon!

I'm glad that time heals wounds like this. I'd hate to think you were still hurting from this one. Like my story that you linked to, it hurt like hell at the time, but in the end things worked out exactly as they should. Last blog post from Will - Revisiting The Doctor

You know what? He IS gorgeous. But SO ARE YOU…

This tale, and a well told tale it is, exemplifies the key component in any relationship. Ever before love, the must be trust. Loss of trust will erode even the most concrete relationships. It’s an acid that burns everything it touches. I know from whence I speak. I trusted my e-wife until I didn’t. Once I didn’t (for a reason, mind you), it was a quick slide into separation and divorce. It tore us up.

Your tale ends well. Once time has washed away the burn and the pain, it becomes another episode in a life full of episodes meant to teach us who we are and who we can become. Well done you for releasing the negativity and leaving behind a serviceable connection to him, one you can joke about and still remain friends.
