Smung Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Well, I just wanted to give anyone who reads this a little hope. My very first girlfriend from my freshman year of collage was the one that i always compared EVERY other woman too... We had an INTENSE two year relationship and wanted to marry her when we graduated. Long story short.. She didn't see a future in me and broke it off. I was so hurt for years. About 16 years ago she called me and informed me that she was planning to marry- I tried to tell her to please wait for me as I was about to graduate from collage and had matured and done all the thing to make a good husband, but it didn't work. She married and I figured it was finally over and I moved on.... Fast forward.... 3 years ago out of the blue she calls and wanted to catch up. HER STILL BEING MARRIED, I told her I was not interested in communication and stopped all contact. But memories started creeping back in, and 1 month ago I decided to try and friend her on Facebook. Thinking she wouldn't respond and figured it was dumb of me to try, but I followed my heart and not my head. She immediately friend-ed me and let me know that she was divorced for 3 years, had a boyfriend but wanted to catch up. We talked and I decided i had to see her. So, I took some time off work told my girlfriend I needed time to think over our relationship,and headed back to my home town I left so long ago. I showed up at her door and It was like no time had passed. She was the same girl I knew so long ago and Sparks flew!! We broke off our other relationships and now plan to marry. I know some might think how could we both dump are other boyfriends and girlfriends. But, when you know you met your soul mate it's impossible to ignore your heart. So, if you think it's truly over It's NOT!, if you think too much time has passed, It's HASN'T. She always kept me in her heart and so did I. Bottom line: If gods gives you a second chance TAKE IT.... Don't waste a second chance on true love even after 25 years.
MidnightinMadrid Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Thats an inspirational story! Never give up,at least she was receptive to comming back. Most exes arent receptive to second chances. Its good to hear your story.
pd8mxq Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Congratulations Smung, Thank you for the post. You two are destined. I wish all the best for the both of you.
DontWorryBHappy Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 That's a sweet story. I have definitely heard of stories like yours where there is a reconnection after decades. All the more power to you, because i'm sure you are both more mature now and miles ahead of your overall advantage point in life compared to high school days.
Exit Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Stories like these are bittersweet, I always find myself thinking about all that time spent apart that could have been spent together, but I guess things happen when they do for a reason and it may not have worked before that point.
Tayla Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 The title said it was worth reading and indeed it carried a valid message. Soulmate. Hard one to swallow, its your pill. Enjoy.
Kazmi Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 This is so beautiful! I'm such a romanticist, these sort of stories always make me cry. Soft heart lol I'm so happy for you! Good luck along the road!!
