I've been browsing around on Myspace again lately, and finding a few "lost" friends. One I recently came across was the home page of my ex, Toney. As many of my regular readers may know, Toney was the last guy I dated before I met DH Russ. I met him through the internet back in 1997 on a singles site. He's American, and at the time, was living in San Diego and I was still living in Sydney.
Anyway, we got to know each other really well over the phone and through tons of emails over the period of about 6 months, and in November '97 I went over there and spent about 6 weeks with him. It was a really happy time in my life, and although Toney and I eventually didn't work out due to a variety of circumstances, we have remained friends and have kept in touch occasionally over the years via email. I didn't realise he had a Myspace page though until this morning.
I think there's always one person in your life you look back on and wonder "what if?". For me, Toney's that guy. Don't get me wrong, I don't for a minute think I would have been happier with Toney than I am with Russ or that I sit here wishing life had worked out differently, because that's simply not true... but, you can't help but wonder what would have happened had you chosen the other path.
Well.. that's quite enough melancholy out of me for one day!
