Laughing and dancing with my fiance at our engagement party, I thought I might actually burst with happiness. Quite simply, he was my soulmate. We were desperately in love and had our future life together mapped out.
It all seemed so simple to my naïve, 19-year-old self. I was, I smugly told myself, the girl who had it all. So why, 20 years later, do I find myself single, childless and tormented by the fact that I have thrown away the only true chance of happiness I ever had?
Eight years after that wonderful engagement party in 1989, I walked away from dear, devoted, loyal Matthew, convinced that somewhere out there, a better, more exciting, more fulfilling life awaited me. Only there wasn't.
Bwahaa haa! You have to read the whole article and see her picture. Click the link. She's wondering why she is alone? Ha ha ha It's pure gold.
facetowardsfront: Now she's 40, chidless and alone. Ha ha ha
You should be showing some empathy to the woman. She has now realised her mistake (maybe too late) and will go on to teach younger women to avoid the same thing (she's doing it already).
