If only we were all this lucky in love!
One of the gals I work with suggested I make a fake People Magazine article outlining the reasons why Sam and I broke up after 2 years and insert it into all the magazines at the salon. I'm starting to believe this is a good idea. I didn't realise how invested some people were in my relationship. Apparantly some people are distraught over this breakup. More so, people are distraught over me being single. Here is a DAILY conversation of mine:
Person: So hows your boyfriend?
Me: I'm sure he's fine, but we broke up.
Person: WHA??? Seriously? WHY?
Me: We grew apart. We weren't a great match.
Person: How OLD are you?
Me: 29
Person: Well you better get out there and find someone!
Me: ok
Person: Have you EVER been married?
Me: No.
Person: Have you been close?? I mean, you have HAD to been close to it at some point! Right? Right????
Me: Ummm....what?
I have literally had this conversation at least 3 times this month. Let me ask you, what is "coming close" to marriage? Why are people asking me this? I'm not sure why someone would think that "coming close" to being married is good at all! What would be the benefit of "coming close?" It can only imply that I'm insane. If one were to come close to marriage there could be only one of three options:
Option 1: You bailed on your wedding. Or worse, you were the one who was stood up.
Option 2: You proposed and your beau said no.
Option 3: Your beau was going to propose and then realized you were a scag, so he didn't.
Right. So, no. I have not come close.
I now believe that single people scare the shit out of coupled people. Happy Early Valentine's Day.
