why don't I listen to my own stories?

[Trixi]

I sent these stories to a friend, but thought I would post them here, too.

A gal I showed homes to today had this story to tell.
She was madly in love with a guy. He kept coming and going. Wishy washy.
Finally she said "look, at the end of these two weeks, you will need to make up your mind. I am madly in love with you, but I can't take this anymore." Two weeks passes and it's the morning of - she says "okay, two weeks is up. Now is the time to make up your mind once and for all. If you decide you are leaving, don't take *some* of your stuff, take ALL of your stuff. If you do that, you aren't welcome back. Ever."
She got back from work and he was gone. She was sad but not shocked. (but she did want to vomit.)
2 weeks passes and he emails saying "I made a terrible mistake. I'm in love with you". She doesn't respond. Two weeks after that he emails and says "I love you. Will you please marry me?" She was pissed because he didn't bother to come see her in person and she basically emailed back and said "no. you had your chance."

She is now dating a WONDERFUL man.

Bottom line:
She was sure it was done. Over. Kaput. As soon as she let him go, really let him go-he realized his mistake. But by then she was done.

I had a boyfriend that was back and forth with me for several years. We each dated other people. Finally, he got serious with a girl. right before the wedding he asked if I thought they should get married, and i told him that just asking me the question made me answer no. He married her anyway. That was that. I cried a lot. I moved on. Awhile later (once I was pretty serious about my then boyfriend/ now husband) he called me and wanted to see me. I met with him and he said "I made a terrible mistake. I have always loved you. I should have married you. As soon as the divorce goes thru, will you marry me?" And I said "nope. Too late. I really like who I am dating now." He has called me on and off thru the years to check in on me.

Tomorrow H and I are going to a wedding. I'm not sure if we're going "together" or not. I guess I will know more tomorrow.
I already cry at weddings, so I am admittedly worried about how things will go tomorrow.
First plan of action; look smokin' hot. (okay- I may not be able to pull off "hot", but at least look REALLY Cute!.)

I do believe I might need some sort of contingency plan if I start getting overly emotional. Sneaking out the back I guess would work. No, no, I gotta think positive. After tomorrow, there is no "need" for us to see each other again. One good thing about our sitch; no kids. One bad thing about our sitch: no kids.
