She threw him away for such petty reason...
I wouldn't have come back...except to say,"FUCK YOU!"
Cute story, but I don’t believe she really loved him as much as she claimed. She says “since he left”; he didn’t leave she broke his heart and threw him away. Then for her to say she doesn’t regret a day in her life? If I had to go 18 years without the person I supposedly loved most in the world, I’d regret every day we couldn’t be together as that’s time we’ll never get back. Also, I bet when she’s lying in a nursing home towards the end of her life and sees all the people with children visiting and caring for them she might just, at least a little, wish she’d had kids of her own. Although maybe not. I enjoy “second chance” stories but while she claimed to love him I think he loves her more than she loves him.
