I mentioned in my ‘about me’ that I have only ever had two girlfriends over the past seven years.
My first ever girlfriend… man, I really thought she was the one. We were just so great together even though I didn’t really fall in love with her until after our first year together. We ended up being together for just a month short shy of six years when I found out that she had cheated on me for a few weeks. For weeks and weeks I was upset with myself for not seeing the signs earlier. It wouldn’t have hurt any less, but at least I would’ve seen it coming instead of being like a deer caught in headlights when I found out.
After the initial shock I went into a deep funk. I was certain that I would never get over her. A year later, well, I’m doing better. It still hurts to think that she could hurt me in that way. I would’ve understood if she had just talked to me rather than go behind my back with some other guy. But, I don’t dwell on it anymore. I’ve moved on and I’m in a new relationship, but that’s another story.
Looking back now I guess it seems a little silly that I felt like I found ‘the one’ at the age of fifteen… but I know that it does happen for some people. I do know a few of them. I guess I just wasn’t one of them.
