This reminds me of my first love turning up at my home on the evening before my wedding. Wisely, my mother never told me - I was on my 'stag-do'.
We'd lived together for 3 years and I was heart-broken when she left me.
She also unexpectedly turned up at my mother's funeral 25 years later, introducing herself to all and sundry as my "childhood sweetheart". We had a long conversion. We were miles apart in our values and outlook, plus she wasn't the 16 year old I'd fallen so in love with or the 24 year old I remembered.
Well, as a sage once observed, I do have an:"undeniable profoundly unattractive ... .... propensity to revel in an important thread ... being turned into debate about ..." me.
It was a lucky escape but I loved her dearly when "She was Sweet Sixteen.".

ReplyDeleteYour childhood sweetheart sounds very insensitive rude and pushy. Too many of those in the world already. Glad she dumped you. Lucky escape!
Lol ... of course.
