My ex girlfriends father just called me. The last time I had spoken to him was almost three years ago, so needless to say I was a little surprised. Of all things, he was calling to offer me a job at his company.
Several years ago when I had been dating his daughter I was offered a job working for the same company that her mother worked for. I declined. At the time I was working for a small company and I was sure it (and I) were going places. I believed that I would go far with them. Obviously this caused some problems with her family, her and myself. They all tried to get me to quite, find another job, go back and finish school (was 20 at the time). I refused. We left each other shortly after this. I am not blaming our breakup on these circumstances, only filling you in on events that have happened.
Now, after talking to her father, I learn that she is getting married in August. I had heard that she was engaged, but that they hadn't chosen a date. I was with this girl for 3 years, which for me, is a long time. But it was worth it, I was in love. To this day, I still have a hard time remembering exactly what happened those last few days. It all seems like a quick jumble of events that took place in some obscure place in my mind.
All of this started me thinking about the different paths you choose to take. What if I had gone back to school w/her? What if I had taken the job her mother had offered me? Would we still be together? Would we be getting married?
Anyone else ever wonder about the paths they have choosen, or not choosen?

Feh. I take out my regrets every night with the trash and leave them on the curb. Whats done is done and can't be changed. Learn and move on.

Yeah, all the time. I would love to see if other scenarios would have worked out better.
I can't.

I think about my ex girlfriend and where we could have been all the time....i think breaking up with her broke my brain in a way. I can't imagine a time when i wont think of her first thing in the morning and last thing at night. almost two years apart from an almost two year relationship that got stronger every minute and vanished overnight.
