This week, I had dinner with an Ex who was passing through town. We hadn’t laid eyes on each other in at least 15 years. It was interesting to see him now. We’re both so much older. Back in the day, our relationship was mostly good. It might have been the closest I’ve ever gotten to getting married. In my memory of it, I was the one who walked away. Looking back after all these years, I have no regrets.
