Two Down, One to Go

In my lifetime, I’ve had three boyfriends.  My first boyfriend got married a year ago.  Randomly, I thought about my second boyfriend today.  Today of all days.  We stopped talking a while ago. Apparently, he needed space.  He was tired of me trying to be his friend.  I knew he used to have his own web site back in the day.  He created some software.  I don’t understand the tech world anymore.  Not that I ever did.  So I typed his name into my browser today, thinking I would see a revamped web site.  

No, that’s not what I saw.  Typing in his name, got me his blog, which led to his most recent post. The guy is fucking married!  I knew they were going to get married.  I bumped into one of his ex-friends a few months back who told me that he was engaged.  Not a surprise.  They’d been together for quite some time.  They seemed to work really well together.
The big surprise was that I happened to think of him, got a hold of his web site, and realized he got married three fucking days ago.
That means that I’ve got one ex-boyfriend left who is not yet married.  Two of them are.  
After I broke up with my most recent boyfriend, my friends would question, “How would you feel if he hooked up with someone else?  What would happen if he got a girlfriend?”
“You know what?  I wouldn’t mind.  Honestly, I’d be happy for him.  I really would.  I’d be glad that he found someone else.”
“What if you found out he was engaged?”
“Then you guys would definitely have to visit me in a psychiatric ward.  I would go crazy.  I would really go crazy.”
