Yep..I'm starting at the end of the story…cause it's one of those things that's just to weird not to tell.
I am the female mono side of a poly couple. I've been with my husband (father to our five kids) for about 20 yrs. He has been poly since we've been together.
About 8 yrs ago he started a relationship with a young woman that.. let's just say..fucked his world upside down. Imagine the most raging NRE cocktail that you've ever known, only it doesn't wear off. It persisted the entire relationship. I used to jokingly call her his "Lady Heroin" cause it was like his addiction…no matter how much damage she caused…he kept going back.
I may go backwards to tell the rest of the tale but the part I'm wanting to speak about happened a couple of nights ago. She has been gone from our lives for roughly 3 yrs. And she left a broken man in her wake. But this being a small town I knew she was about o move away to Tx in a weeks time. They haven't seen each other since the break up. (I, in the mean time, have seen her. Needing to close up some financials that were combined with ours, before she left) And I asked if it would be weird if we stopped by the restaurant where she worked to say a goodbye…(she left with no closure, just walked away) and oddly enough ..she said yes.
So 2 days ago..here I am with my husband getting in his truck during a snow storm to "roll the ending credits" on a script he felt he never got to see the ending of. As the snow is falling I tell him by the way this is so freakin weird.."I feel like I've had you in rehab for 3 yrs. and I'm taken you to say goodbye to your dealer"..He agrees.
I go in, order some food, while he chooses to hide in the back. She hides behind the counter, and he hides in the back booth. I ask if he feels he's had his closure and he says yes, he's ready to leave, and we head for the door. Then she steps in front of him and the *final* scene takes place.
He tells her she looks well and has gained some weight. They laugh and agree. Then he smiles at her and says that he is very happy for her and by the way "Fuck You" and then walks out the door. I go with him and ask when we get in his truck, "are you satisfied with this" and he said he was, "it was the only this could ever turn out"
