I just rediscovered this blog and the memories of the affair came rushing in. I haven't visited here in years. I also haven't seen or spoken to the person who inspired it.
He stood me up at an expensive hotel room that I paid for. He said he was sick but I found out he was just visiting his granddaughter.
Then I did the unthinkable. I told his wife.
Turns out he had many mistresses, even while seeing me. He had a mental health problem. His wife was polite, and honest. I think if she had known how badly I was hurting she might even have been sympathetic.
I moved on. I continued to see other married men (and one single one). I got my heart broken more times than I would like to admit. A couple of them were worth it.
I hope to get back to this blog. I'm a quite different person than I was then.
