I'd like to think of them now as together eternally, at last.

My last ex always told me to go off to college, but it wasn't as positive as your experience, he did it manipulatively. He would guilt trip me for wanting to go. He told me that "it's my life and I should do what's right for me, it's okay" then he'd flip and would start to whine about me leaving and how lonely he'd be. He was a creep.Ladyfairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402600337611206195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318046134864811272.post-22196936949562197272014-12-03T17:58:25.330-05:002014-12-03T17:58:25.330-05:00Wow, what a sad story!

And while Poe did marry his young cousin, that could have been more a keep-the-family-together scenario. And Elmira married into money which was certainly encouraged back then since ladies didn't work. <br /><br />He was an awesome first boyfriend. These things never last but it's nice to see him every now and then, receive an email or two, and know that he's happy.

I'm glad that's all behind you...Oh my word! I'm glad that's all behind you. I had my share of bad boyfriends and I do have two ex-husbands so it isn't like I have historically been the best picker. I credit meeting my first love-of-my-life by sitting in the wrong seat at a Cure concert in D.C. After, he asked for my address and when the pen ran out of ink he wrote my address on his arm in eyeliner *little girl swoon*. He could have been such a bad influence but he wasn't. And when he worried that I wouldn't go to the college of my choice, he broke up with me. Decades later, I learned the truth :) He was good as gold. He would tell everyone that I'm making it up and that he was a bad seed but that's not how I remember it.

I wonder how they felt about being in second place to someone else. I definitely would NOT appreciate it! The old song, "Love the One You're With" never cut any ice with me. <br /><br />You're lucky to have had such an awesome boyfriend, and to have kept him as a friend for so long after that.

I never knew this. Thank you for sharing! And I'm envious that your first boyfriend was so nice to you. I had to go through six abusive and mostly closeted homosexual boyfriends before I found a man who treats me like a human being.
