My wife tracked me down eighteen years after we went to school together from second to fourth grade. She always liked me a lot (not really sure why). But yeah, she is the chillest most down to earth person and I'm glad she went through the effort.

Second to fourth grade you must have done something right to draw her back in EIGHTEEN YEARS later. holy cow I'm jealous of a second to fourth grader

Hey, I pulled off something similar. She let me read her diary so I know it wasn’t bullshit.

In the last couple years after a decade of sharing a life I caught her cheating multiple times and I gave up and rolled out.

I must not have been near as rad as she thought I was.

Don’t pity me though. Life is good now. Even if it all falls apart on me again with this one, it’s been a wonderful experience.

That’s the way it goes. If we all hit the lottery, money wouldn’t be worth shit. I take what I have when I have it with a smile on my face. I have a nervous breakdown when I lose it all and I start again. What else can you do?

Nah, it's she who wasn't as rad, her cheating says everything about her and nothing about you.

Good perspective though, all we can do is try to roll with the punches so might as well try to enjoy it.
