Dodged a Bullet

I took my niece to the movies last night. We saw the sequel to A Night at the Museum. It was very cute. I enjoyed it, and I think I enjoyed it more than my niece did.

But while we were in line buying tickets, I noticed this very heavyset girl with a short, skinny bald guy and thought how silly they looked together. Then I thought...oh...my...gawd...that short, skinny, weird-looking bald guy is my ex from FOREVER ago and that woman who is easily 30 pounds heavier than me who is easily 6 months overdue for a root touch up is his wife that I knew way back when.

And I thought "Wow, did I ever dodge that bullet!" I mean, I know he cheated on her while they were dating. I know this for a fact. I also have heard from one of his former best friends and another one of his good friends that he continues to cheat on her even after they were married. I knew that he could never be faithful, which is one of the reasons he and I never were exclusive in the first place.

But oh, my, gawd. It was insane. And I admit that I feel better about not having someone in my life right now. I'd rather be without either one of them, i.e. the wrong one, than on my own. It's still strange because I never imagined being in my late 20's and not married and not even being close to being married. But it's still better than being in my late 20's in the wrong marriage, one without love, one filled with cheating and lies.

But it still would be nice if the right guy is out there, if he could hurry up already! :-)
