Oh What a Tangled Web We Weave...

... when at first we practice to deceive. So John and I had been dating for about 3 years, when I finally had had enough and broke up with him. A few days later, I stopped by my parents' house and happened to pick up a church bulletin and was browsing it while waiting for my Mom. And there, right under Birth Announcements was, "John & Megan welcome the addition of their twin boys, CJ and LL." Yes, that would be "my" John. This was only days after I broke up with him, mind you. I always suspected that he was more than friends with Megan, but he always had some story to make me think I was crazy for even mentioning the notion. Turns out that they had been dating for 5 years, 3 of which he was supposedly exclusive with me. After we broke up, he proposed to me. I said no, and he then took the same ring and proposed to Megan (after the birth of their twins). Fool that she was, knowing that he had cheated on her for 3 years, she married him. I was lucky to get out when I did as theirs has not been an easy relationship. Certainly can't say the warning signs, flashing neon lights and all, weren't there.
