I mean it's not awful, it could have been worse. There was no/little baggage with these guys but still.
Both times I was scrubby because the universe has a sense of humor. The first time it was raining outside and because I hate coats, I was not at my best appearance-wise. Although comparatively the last time he saw me was at his father's funeral so I guess I have that going for me? *wincing*
The second time I was with Kevin, which is always a hoot. This is the one guy that Kevin very jokingly says "And you slept with him!" Way to make it weird, Kev.
These interactions came on the heels of a new "friend" on the facebook that I made during the holidays. It was a guy I knew when I was dating/married the first time. We never dated but he was the only one who said "What are you doing with this guy?" before I married the first time.
He posted a photo that just kicked my ass. It was a photo of his car (that he had when we knew each other) parked in front of a shop that I spent a lot of time at (owned by the family of the best man in my first wedding) looking at the store he used to work at, and overlooked by my former husband's family business. It was a weird encapsulation of my history in one photo.
It was a very Sliding Doors moment. A glimpse of what life not only looked like then but a glimpse of an alternate future. You're giving me whiplash, universe.
