I think I hadmyfirsteverboyfriendlikeproperboyfriendattheageoff 15 onDhe.
Hewas a littleolderthanmakingthingsaboutthreeorfouryearsolderthanmeon.
Hewasn't inschoolanymore.
And I wasstillatschool, and I thought I was, like, thecoolestpersonintheworldthathewasactuallythefirstpersontoeverbreakmyheartaswell, whichwaasanexperienceinitself.
I honestlybeforehewasgonnaendme, I thoughtthathewastheloveofmylifeand I wouldnever, evergetoverit.
And I thinkItprobablytookmeabouttwoyearstogetoverhim.
Afterthat I hadanotherboyfriend, whichwaswhen I kindofwentthroughmyalternativelikelooksphase.
I neverreallylike.
I'vealwaysbeenintothesamekindsofmusicandthingslikethat, but I reallydressed a lotdifferently.
I think I kindofinvolvedwithhimand I hadmyinterestinghaircut.
I gotmylippierced, havefleshedotherhorse.
Itwasallveryinterestingon, I think, abouttwoyears.
Yes, twoyearson.
Thenafterhim I had a verysobriefrelationshipwithsomeonethathadbeen a friendandhewas a littlebityoungerthanmeonDDEhadalwayshad a crushonmeandthen I wentoutwithhimonDhe.
Itwasn't a verygoodrelationshipanditendedquiteswiftly.
Then I had a very, very, verylongtermrelationship.
When I movedthio, I beathertoworkfor a while.
I wasin a relationshipforaboutfourorfiveyearswithsomeonethat I metthere, butitwaslongdistance, soitwasquitedifficult, quitetoughand I endedupbeingquitelonelyfromit.
Thatwaswhen I wasatuniversity.
Andthenafterthat, I endedupgettingbackwiththeguythat I wentoutwithwhen I was 15 ondrinkingdoingthat, whichdidnotlastverylong.
Onabouttwoweeksafterthatrelationshipended, I metmyhusbandonDDE.
But I just I thoughtthathewaslikeeverything, anditwasreallyfunnybecauseitwastotallynoromanticinanywayshape.
Before I methim, whenhewasworkingon a housedownmyroad, hewas a roofonwhoworkedonthishouse.
Andeveryday I wouldwalkpastandhewouldbesoul a nightlight, cause I was 15 andsilly, andthatwashowweendedupmeetingonpickedmeupinhisverysoupedupcaron.
I justrememberlookingathim, and I justthought, Ohmygosh, hewasjustthevealandKendalland I wouldnevereverloveagainonitwasreallydifficultbecause I thinkwewerefrom a verydifferentsortoflifestylesonDhe.
Hisfriendsreally, reallydidn't likeme.
Really, reallydidn't likeme.
Actel.
Sothatwasquitedifficult.
And I thinkthathewasquitebotheredbythefactthat I wasn't likedbythemonDhe.
I thinkhebrokeupwithmeanddumpedmeaboutWasthateightmonthsThioThio a yearlateron, and I tookitvery, verybadlybecausewelivedreallyclosetogetherandhewouldalwaysbedrivingaroundinhiscar.
I wouldlikegoingwalkaroundthestreetswhere I live, hoping I wouldseehimonDhe.
Itwasjusthorrendous, like, absolutelyhorrendous.
I learnedhisphonenumberoffmyheart, whichwastheworstthing I everdid.
Policy.
Fromthatday, I neverlearnedanotherguy's phonenumberoffbyheartagain.
I stilldon't evenknowmyhusband's offbyhalf.
But I feelliketimeshavechangedsincethenbecause I hadmylittleNokia 51 10 orwhereveritwaason.
Youcouldonlyhaveabout 10 numbersinthere, but I lovehisnumberofmyheart, so I couldjustcouldn't getridofhim.
Likewhen I wasfeelinglike I misshim.
I justtexthimandthen I'llbelike, No, what?
DidyoudothatonDhe?
I thinkitdefinitelydidtakemetotwoyears, ifnotlongertogetoverhim.
Andhelovedit.
Heenjoyedthefactthat I couldn't getoverhimandhewouldtalkmewithiton.
Hewouldmakeitsodifficultforme.
Andialwayshad, like, girlfriends, and I justneverhadanotherboyfriendinthosetwoyears.
Theyjustmademesoupsetbecause I wouldjustlikeif I wasinthepubwherewelivedandhewasthere, I'd havetowatchhimwithhisnewgirlfriend.
Offlove.
Whenyou're 15 isjustlikenothingelse.
I just I can't believehow I feltandhowsad I wasinhowmiserable I waasandjustif I couldgobacknow, I wouldliterallyshapedmeandbelikepullyourselftogetherandgoandfindsomeonebetter.
I didendupmany, manyyearslater, gettingbackwithmyfirsteverloveonDDE.
Itwasnot a greatrelationship.
Itwasnot a healthyrelationshipon, andhisfriendsstillhatedme.
Itwasstillback.
Unfortunately, onthisoccasionthetablesturnedand I actuallyendedupendingtherelationshipon.
Itwas a littlebitmessy, butitwasdefinitelyforthebest.
And I thinkthatnowit's sonicelookingbackonthosepastrelationshipsonbeingabletoseehowmuchbetterthosepeopleareandhowmuchbetterofftheyareon, probablyhowmuchhappierwebotharenottogether.
Soyeah, thatwasputoninterestingfirstrelationshipanddefinitelysomethingthat I wouldknowrecommendrevisitinglaterdownthelineinyourlifebecauseitcouldbequitemessy.
Okay, nextup, I hadsomanyquestionsaboutovercomingheartbreakonDhe.
I definitelydefinitelydon't thinkthat I, um, waswellversedinthisis I shouldbe, although I havedefinitelyhadmyheartbroken, but I canbequitesosternon.
I thinkit's verydifferentwhenyou'reactuallygoingthroughit, butmybiggest, itwouldberemovethemfromyourlife, removeeverythingthatyoucouldpossiblyhaveoffthatpersonfromyourlife.
It's notcurrentrelationshipanymore, so I definitelythinkthatthatwillacceleratetheprocess.
Butthesethingscantaketime, andit's importanttosortofacknowledgethosefeelingsonDDE, nottryandsuppressthem, butjustacknowledgethem, feelthemondheAlsotrytoremain a strongasyoupossiblycanbecauseitcouldgetevenmessierwhenyoustartgettingintocasualsituations.

Youknow, maybewecoulddothiscasually.
Andthere's alwaysgonnabethatonepersonwhich I havebeenwhereyouthinkthisisdefinitelygonnagosomewhereandit's thisisgonnamakehimforworkinlovewithmeanditjustitjustneverdoes.
Andifanything, I kindoffeltlike I lost a lotofmyselfrespectanditmadeitharderformetothengoonandgetoveritbecause I keptgoingbackand I keptrevisiting.
I definitelythinkmybiggestgrowthondhechangeondheSomeofthemostpositivemomentsinmylifehavecomefromthehorribletimeswhenyouhavebrokenrelationshipsandyoubreakupwithpeopleandlivestogether, becomeliveseparate.
But I definitelyfeellikethosehavebeensomeofthemostpinnaclemomentsinmylife.
I think I alwaysthinkthiothefactthatSallyand I metbecause I don't thinkthat I wouldbedoingthisandallofthestuff I gettodonow.
I haven't metAlley.
Andif I hadstayedinthoserelationshipspreviouslyorinunhappyrelationships, orif I gotbackwithpeoplethathadbrokenupwithmeandstayedwiththem, I wouldneverbedoingthethings I'm doingnow.
No, everyonewaslikethatonDDEthathetoldmewhatitwastotrustpeopleon.
I thinkthisisoneoftheanswersto a lotofquestions I got.
Howdid I knowthathewasone?
I knewthat, youknow, I wasattractedtohim, but I trustedhimonDDE.
Wehadsuch a greatlike, a senseofhumortogether.
Anditwasthetrustwassomethingthat I neverexperiencedbeforeondhe.
Itwassuch a aneyeopeningthingtorealizethat I'vebeeninsomanyrelationshipswhere I didn't reallyknowwhattrustWozand I feltvery, veryinsecureandveryunsettledandnervouson.
Itwas a reallywonderfulthingtogointo a relationshipandbelike, umsothisiswhatit's liketoreallytrustsomeonethatwasquiteinteresting.
But I woulddefinitelysaythatdealingwithjealousynowisit's notsomethingthat I'm abletoadvisehim, because I thinkthatit's partofthesortofthecoreoftherelationshipondhe.
Weknowwe'vegotplansondheproceduresinplacetodealwithwhenpeoplemessjustlikethat, I nevergetitapartfrom a randomguyontheothersideoftheworldthatsometimes a messagemelike, Hello, I loveyou.
That's that's prettymuchall I getbutgetsquiteinterestingpictures, whichyouhavetogotomeand I'm not.
Oh, thisis a questionaboutmywedding, which I thoughtwasprobablyquiteaninterestingone, thispersonasked.
Didyouhave a lotoffamilypressureonwhotoinvitetoyourweddingfromyourparentsslashinlaws?
Now, I reallyquitestrictaboutthis, and I wantedtomakesurethatwe'repayingforourweddingourselves.
I guess I wouldn't reallybeabletoadviseit, sortofhowyoufeelinglikethat?
That's therightthingtodo.
If I saynoorwhetherityouknow, it'llupsethimtoomuch.
Butuspersonally, I wasliterallylike, Youtellmenothing.
Doesitannoyyouwhenpeopleaskyouifyouwantkidstheydidinthebeginning, because I wasjustlike, No, I don't wantkids.
Whyareyouaskingmethisshut?
Butatthetime, I didn't wantkids, andit's somethingthatprobablychangeswithage, butitdoesn't reallyupsetmeinthesensethatitsaysanything.
It's just a questionthat I don't thinkit's okaytobeasked.
And I feellike a lotofpeopledoitontheInternettoannoypeopleontheInternetratherthanactuallywantingtoknowbecausetheyknowit's suchaninappropriatequestionon.
