[quote=Anonymous]My best friend. But the story has an interesting twist.

They dated for 4 years of high school. Then she went 3 hours away to school for college and he stayed behind in our hometown and worked.

By the end of freshman her boyfriend had enrolled part time at community college and they said the plan was for him to do well and transfer to the college she was at. This was shocking as he had barely graduated and had always panned college as a waste of time. The ultimate plan was for her to around the college town while he would finish up his last year bc she would be a year ahead of him and then get married and move on. And they stuck to that plan for a long time.

After she graduated, she went on vacation and then home for a few weeks to spend time with family while he stayed behind, took summer classes and worked. She never went back and basically strung him a long for the first half of the year telling him how she just needed space and she really did love him and she just wanted to spend time with her family bc she missed them, etc.

She and I and a group of friends went out to a bar one night. She met some guy and two days later called and told me she was marrying him the next week because he was moving with the military and they had to marry quickly. 
She moved within a few months overseas with her DH and I actually ended up going back to the apartment in the college town and helping her parents pack up her stuff.

Her boyfriend was really devastated. But he did end up getting a degree which helped him in the long term and that likely would have not happened if he hadn't dated my friend. He said this himself many times.

A few years ago, he posted on FB about meeting the DD he never knew he had. Turns out he had cheated back in the day and got another girl pregnant. I asked my friend if she was upset and she said no bc around that same time she was having a fling with one of her professors!!! [/quote]
