Some of my closest friends are my ex-boyfriends. Good thing Im not married anymore as my former husband did not enjoy this aspect of my life. He in fact met several of them and was no longer intimidated by them once he had the opportunity to spend time with them. I was thinking of this as I received an email invitation from one of them today. It was a dinner party invitation and his entire family will be there. Im looking forward to attending this fall.
I told one of my friends about this invitation and she found it odd that I was still in touch with him after over twenty years. Wait until she finds out that Im in fact in touch with all of them except for one as it was a very tumultuous relationship. All of these men are married with children and are all doing well. I speak with some more than others but cherish each one of them for a variety of reasons. I love the history that I share with each of them. When I speak with any of them it takes me to a place in time, where life was infinitely simpler. Im still in touch with my 8th grade boyfriend-KG, the man that I once attended many formal dances with-DB, my boyfriends from college-EC, my not so serious boyfriend -RI and then of course my longest relationship and first real intense adult boyfriend- Hector. We were together for 8 years or more.
