A weird day

An (overseas) ex phoned me today to say she had got engaged. Not just any ex, but the one whom I was most head over heels about, and took years to fully get over, So while very happy for her, and even though I’ve dated lots and lots of people since then, there is that somewhat painful and numbing sensation you go through. Nothing a good dose of vodka won’t cure I suppose 🙂

Still I am getting off lightly compared to one of my mates. He had a string of girlfriends who all married the boyfriend they went to straight after him. Was almost a curse for a while, but he did finally break it!

While reminiscing on exes and marriages, it reminds me of a hilarious situation a couple of years ago when I was single so I phoned up an ex whom I had broken up with around 18 – 24 months or so previously. We more drifted than broke up, so I thought it was a reasonable prospect. We arranged to meet up, and just as were were starting the “What have you been up to for last couple of years” she passed over the photos of her honeymoon! I don’t think I did very well to hide my surprise. And my friends had a good laugh when I got back from the “date” with the newly married honeymooner!
