People you use to date . . .

[Whitney]

Ever get the wild hair to look up what someone you use to date is doing now?  I was thinking about crazy religious people, which made me think of Seventh Day Adventists, which made me think of this guy I dated who is an SDA.  Then I started to wonder if  became committed since the last time we spoke he was a bit off his rocker (he didn't take the break up so well and claimed god came and talked to him in the flesh).  After a bit of googling, I found him.  He is teaching "Sabbath School" at his childhood Seventh Day Adventist church.  Ya...very glad that one didn't work out.

I'm still in contact with some of the women i used to go out with. I like to think that things can stay cordial once the intimacy stops. There are, however, the few who if i saw in the street, i'd run a country fucking mile to get away from. Namely a pakistani girl called Monica. Very attractive and outgoing. She'd been the product of an arranged marriage a few years previously but had managed to get a legal divorce in the UK. Her husband sounded like an idiot. She was not religious but the rest of her family were. Because of the divorce, her family cut her off completely. By the time i met her, she'd not spoken to a single member of her family for almost seven years. I think this was the reason for her instability. To cut a long story short, what started as an amazing couple of months of romance quickly turned into something from the twilight zone. It is generally quite difficult to freak me out but it quickly got to the point where i was genuinely frightened to let her down in any way. For example, changing plans for lunch for legitimate reasons led to a fury completely out of context with the situation. I ended it quickly, but not before receiving a black eye in front of my friends in a pub.

I have no interest to know what she is doing now. Part of me feels sorry for her but for the most part, i'm not a trained psychologist, so shouldn't have to carry that burden.

Sounds like a good advertisement:
"When I want to see the trail of broken hearts, I check Facebook!"

I used to keep very close to my ex girlfriends. Then, after meeting my wife, I realized it was just an unnecessary source of potential drama and contention, so I gradually let those connections die out. Wouldn't even know how to look them up now if you asked me, and none of them has made any effort to keep me around, even via the tubes.

I married my high school sweetheart, so I don't have any ex-boyfriends.
