I was thinking about this thread earlier today. We got a Christmas card from the boyfriend I had directly after I left my abusive second husband.
This boyfriend was someone who had been a friend, and should have stayed a friend, because that is what I really and truly needed at that time. But this guy, he had some 'issues' and had never really been able to have an adult relationship and sort of 'tried it out' with me. NOT what I needed. A lot of things he would say to me were things like 'maybe I can't love you because of your weight'. Huh? He was interested in having a relationship with me, but couldn't 'love' me and blamed that on me.
I stayed with him for 2 months while I tried to figure out what to do with my life, but I wasn't allowed to answer the phone, or come in to meet him for lunch because he didn't want to have to 'explain' me to anyone.
Anyhoo, we got a Christmas card today, a picture of him with his new live in girlfriend! I knew about her, and figured wow, he must have sorted out some of his issues. I'd been curious, what did this girl look like that he was finally 'able' to fall in love with?
You'll never guess.
She looks kinda like me.
Enough like me that it's kind of weirded my husband out as well.
