I kinda wonder if maybe she thought she was getting a bit up there age wise and there wasn't too many other offers coming her way so she just settled for him?
I mean really, he just disappeared for a whole year, didn't even try and contact her at all , then waits at least a yea or longer after he gets back to go and see her ! What would you have done?
i don't think she settled for him (she was only 21 at the time, still hope yet even during those times). i believe she really loved him and love is blind. he was that mysterious dark handsome (but not tall ) guy from her past that swept her off her romantic silly feet so she overlooked all the warning signs.
i can't think of a man that i would go back with after the dumped me for 3 years AND married someone else. but alas, i never was a starry-eyed kind of girl. there is at least one mysterious dark handsome guy in my past and i'm so thankful i am not married to him!
