My first boyfriend (many, many years ago), essentially ghosted me after 2 years of dating. I was so hurt at the time but I have been over it for many years now and have had much better relationships as I've gotten older. I recently moved and guess who lives in my neighbourhood? I've walked by him a couple of times but each time, my dog has given me a good excuse to not look up at him, so I haven't said hello. It's been 20 years. I don't think I need to. But I still think it's funny that at 7 am on a Saturday morning, I'll be the only one walking my dog and I'll walk around the corner and there he'll be, walking towards me. So weird.
