“Suspend your disbelief for a moment. Even now, at 28 years old, I still strongly believe that I was supposed to marry my high school sweetheart. To this day, he’s still the guy who told me everything about when we were in high school and college.” But in my senior year, he had a brain tumor rupture while we were on a date. I had to do CPR, call 911, and more. Everything had to be done. He spent a month in the PICU after having most of his brain removed. He went to a rehabilitation facility to learn to walk and talk again. His My parents separated us, and as an adult, I completely understand why — he needs to focus on his recovery, and I need to focus on my life in case he doesn’t survive. I had to focus. If I were my kid today, I would probably do something similar.”
“But the whole family turned inward, stopped socializing, and gave minimal information about his condition, all of which was terribly traumatic. But he was born perfect. And my My parents had all the other boyfriends (me and my sisters)’ to scale him. He died three years later while I was dating a man I married, He was in the room when he got the call that his ex-boyfriend had passed away. He later said that was the moment he knew he could propose and stand up to my ex, who was never an option. There is no chance of getting a yes.
We were married for 7 years until we asked for divorce 6 weeks ago. To be honest, I wasn’t sad about the divorce at all, but I was sad about other things in my life. I am in therapy and working on everything. Like I said, I’m 28 years old now and I still think I would have married him if I hadn’t had cancer. It wasn’t just puppy love. I miss my old boyfriend. He was an all around great person and the world would be worse without him. ”
