Hi All! Haven't been here in a while, but back in April a close friend told me a story about her sorority sister: Boy and Girl met in college and fell in love. Both are very attractive, sociable people. Boy didn't have it together and constantly cheated on Girl. She was semi-aware and hung in there for a while, but finally, it became too much. Boy and Girl broke up. During the breakup, Girl carried on, dated, and even had 2 boyfriends. Boy became alarmed and begged for Girl to take him back. Eventually, Girl did. They've been married for several years now, and appear happy. Since being told the story, I've met them both. Do with that what you will. I don't know timelines or details, but I also don't believe they matter. Also, there is some truth to the theory that you hear less reconciliation stories because people don't always come back to report. As much as I love and relied on this forum during dark times, several months ago when I went "on-again" with my ex, I was so caught up in that (and life) that I didn't come back to tell the tale! However, I don't plan to until I'm good and married, either to him (not looking likely as of now) or to someone else, lol. That's my finish line. Anyway, hope this bump helped someone tonight : )

My friend/former roommate that I posted about a few weeks ago, who got back together with her ex after years of separation and living in different cities? They got engaged today.

Today I need to bump this, but I also have a legitimate story to add: I was roommates with a good friend in grad school. She's gorgeous and brilliant and guys were always in love with her, but she didn't really date much in the 4 years that we were close friends. Now she lives out-of-state. We never talked in depth about her romantic past, but I knew that she'd dated a guy who wasn't ready to settle down. Every once in a while, she'd make comments in passing about knowing what it's like to have her heart broken- things like that, but she's very reserved, and I never pried. I knew his name, his occupation, and that he was alive, but that's about it. I do recall that he sent her a very lovely graduation gift, but he wasn't present and I had never met him. Well, I just spent this most recent New Year's Eve at their amazing home. They are so in love and happy that it's almost gross! I'm happy for her.

First post! Last week my coworker told me his story: He dated a girl, she was early 20's, he was early 30's. He wouldn't give a lot of detail but said his girlfriend was young and needed to "sow her oats"... He also used the words "growing pains." Nevertheless, they dated for 3 years and broke up 3 or 4 times. He said at one point he just let go and told God that he trusted Him with the situation. They're married now.
