I'm going to summarize a 4 yr. relationship as best I can. Bare with me.
I met my ex at the ripe age of 17. There were other girls but for some reason this girl stuck in my mind like extra chunky peanut butter. I had just started working at my first "real" job at the local movie theatre. A friend (who was a girl) hooked me up with the job and 2 months into it, my future girl restarted there. She had taken a hiatus and now returned.
Working together we quickly connected and began flirting. However, she told me that she had just gotten dumped by guy A and was dating his friend, guy B. Right after guy B and her started dating, he wound up in jail. Then she started back at the theatre and we began flirting.
After 6 long months of working on her, she fell in love with me, wrote a "dear John" letter to jailbird and we started dating. We both fell for each other hard and it was truly the best thing that ever happened to me.
