Today in class we had a diagram on the board of a man and a woman walking into a concert at which the woman’s ex-boyfriend was playing. I looked at this diagram and realized this exact thing had happened to me and this would probably make a very funny story.
It was a few months after I had broken up with, shall we call him, Band Boy. Band Boy was a great man, caring, understanding, but intensely clingy. His problems became too much for me to handle, and his constant complaining was downright depressing. He always said he didn’t want to be like that, but when he would do nothing about it, it ticked me off. I could not handle him.
So after telling him I needed a break (and never really breaking up with him), I found another man. I informed Band Boy about Another Man and told him that we started dating. Naturally, he was devastated. While he knew that day would come, he didn’t think it would come so quickly. So one day, I wanted to go to a show. I had been celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday with him for the entire day and he graciously accompanied me to my friend’s show that night. Only I had forgotten that Band Boy’s band was opening for them. The night was spent trying to avoid contact with Band Boy, and Another Man could not figure out why. Finally, I had to tell Another Man... and he was NOT happy with the situation. Since then I have broken up with him as well. Life goes on, I guess. And awkward moments get left behind for us to merely laugh at.
