Marshall

 

We are going to fast forward a little here. There were dates after this but nothing of any significance, including trying to rekindle things with Sam...huge mistake...… Until Marshall.

 

Marshall:

 

Marshall and I had been friends for a while. He was college buddies with some of my friends and we became fast friends. He was handsome and hilarious. My two main wants in a boyfriend. We went out for drinks one night and had a few too many and wound up making out. That turned into a relationship the very next day. It moved fast. Too fast. Engaged 10 months in, fast. Truthfully, at that point I wanted out but I knew he had a "surprise" party planned at the bar next door to the restaurant where he proposed. Obviously I knew about the party so I said yes. That wasn't the only reason but it definitely had something to do with it. We had fun together. But it was always drunken fun. If we weren't drinking then he spent all of his time on the couch. It was killing me. I started pulling away and he started getting mad, and jealous. It didn't end well. To say I was in a downward spiral after it ended is an understatement. We are fine now but there was a long time that we weren't'. I am truly sorry for any hurt that I caused him. But honestly he wouldn't be the man he is today if we hadn't broken up. And that man is happy, successful, married (to a different former friend) (that story will come later), they have 2 beautiful children and I truly wish them all the happiness in the world.
