When I was a young kid (24), my serious girlfriend went to
Europe for 3 weeks (this chick was a knock-down drop-dead
gorgeous blonde, I'll post pics if I can find some).
She called me a few days before my birthday and we talked about
getting married.
Then, on my birthday she didn't even call me, and when I did get
a hold of her a few days later, she was strangely aloof.
I don't know to this day if she cheated on me over there, but when
she got back our relationship was over. I still don't know exactly
what happened, but she broke my heart, and it took me probably
a year to get over it.
It was a good thing, because I found someone better...
