EyesWideOpen Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Had an interesting conversation with a coworker. I had married and later divorced my first love (this was some time ago), and she is now going through her second divorce. She was reflecting at some point during this conversation that: it's funny to look back and realize how much different you are than when you are younger, and that if she had met her ex today she wouldn't have been attracted to him. I quickly realized I was not on the same page. Despite being ten years older, I very well could see myself being (initially) attracted to my ex had I met him for the first time today. How about you?
Intricategirl Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Oh god no. Just taking who I am now vs. who I was then, I wouldn't even have looked at him twice, and definitely wouldn't have made it to a first date then. That being said, part of who I am now is as a result of being with him and realizing that's not what I wanted. That's one thing I do exceptionally well. For all the relationship mistakes I make I don't often repeat them.
