Taking Out The Trash

I just spent about a half hour feeding photos, cards, letter, ticket stubs, etc. through my paper shredder. As I was unpacking things from my vacation up north I noticed a photo album and box of things in the back of my closet that had been saved from my last relationship. With 2004 upon us I was wondering why I still had them, so I decided to get rid of them. After 30 minutes of non-stop work, it’s amazing that the motor on my paper shredder isn’t smoking. I sure do feel good though.

I’ve never discussed this relationship with anyone, so you’re about to hear a side of the story which has never been told…

It all started back in my senior year of high school. I started dating a girl that was a junior and was being chased by several other guys at this same time. Hell, they even chased her after we became a couple. Everyone always would tell me that I was stupid to think that she wasn’t cheating on me with one of these other guys (or even several), but to this day I still believe that she wasn’t. At least not at the beginning.

We were together all the time and I do mean all the time. Too much really, after looking back on it. I became close to her family and really close to her mother. Too close! It was to the point where I didn’t spend much time at all with my family and wouldn’t listen to them for advice on the whole situation. I now wish I would have listened to a few things. Those early times during the first year were a lot of fun, but things changed a bit after I graduated and went off to college. For a short period of time I had even thought about skipping out my first year to be with her. It’s a good thing Mom talked me out of that idea!

  1. Hey bud.. I feel your pain.. went through almost the same scenario after HS with my “High school” sweatheart… except I went down a different path – I moved away from her to forget about her.. then ended up getting married and having 3 kids! All by the age of 25!

  2. Never knew that all that happened to you buddy!…I feel bad now for always asking you why you didn’t have a woman and always seeming to make fun of you somehow dealing with the ladies. I guess the only advice I can say is to not let one relationship ruin what could happen for you inthe future. You never know what fate has in store. Keep your head up hon…but make sure when you try to be with someone again that they deserve to be with a nice person like you!…see you next time you come home!—Bird aka Your lil’ bro’s gf….

  7. :mrgreen: I’m so glad you listened to me back then and didn’t take time off from college. I guess I really knew this was why you weren’t dating and I’m glad you wrote about it. Now it’s time to move on. You treated her like a queen, but she was used to getting treated that way by her mother. She’s a beautiful girl, but her looks are what made her the way she is and why everybody wanted her. In the end, that’s what did her in. I’m so glad you’re finally gonna put it behind you and move on. It’s the best move you’ve ever made. I love you and hope you find someone that’s worthy of your love someday. In the meantime, have fun and don’t stop looking for that special someone. She’ll come along when you least expect it. And I promise not to ask anymore if you have a woman in your like. (But I’ll always be hoping and waiting for you to let me know when there is – haha). Love Ya Lots, Mom xoxoxo

  8. Women are hard to get over but if it’s not meant to be it’s not meant to be. You will know when it is and until then there are alots of gals out there who are just waiting to be asked out. I’m glad you closed the chapter on that book finally but I understand it wasn’t easy. Now start reading a smaller book that you control when you flip the page. You know I’m alway’s there the old man.

  9. Well, I wasn’t going to comment on this but I will anyway. No, I’m not gonna tell you that I told you so…even though I think I did. No one could be more happy than me that you are finally putting this behind you. Maybe know I can set you up!! Love is a great thing, I know you’ll find it when you’re ready. I love you!
