Okay, this blog may be a bit more serious than my other blogs. Most of the guys I've blogged about have been one hit wonders or at most one album wonders. But then there was Mike. Mike was multi platinum. Mike and I dated for three years. A month into our relationship Mike said those three words, yup. "I love you." Stupid me believed him. Mike was fabulous. He knew I had always wanted to see a Brave's game so he got good tickets to a game for our six month anniversary. We had dinner at a fabulous restaurant in Atlanta and he even had the waiter put my gift on our dessert plate while I was in the bathroom. It was a beautiful gold necklace with a small locket engraved with my initial. I, of course, loved it. Things were great until right around Halloween. He came down to visit a few days before Halloween. We went for a walk and a couple of miles from my house he tells me he thinks he should break up. What? I couldn't have possibly heard that correctly. He was in love with me. Now he wants to break up after eight months. WTheck? I was completely shocked! I had not seen this coming at all. I calmly asked him why he wanted to break up. He told me that he had been listening to John Tesh the other day and ...
Okay, let me tell you what I had done before I share how John Tesh ruined my life. lol
A few weeks before Mike broke up with me a divorced co-worker of his had her car quit one evening. Now they were just co-workers, not even really close friends. She called Mike to come "rescue" her. Really?! She knew Mike had a girlfriend. They worked for a large company so, I know she had other co-workers, but she called Mike. And of course, Mike went out at 10:00p.m. to give her a ride home and then went back and called a tow truck for her car. My first response was that his co-worker, we'll call her "Hanna" was after him. When her car broke down or when she caused her car to break down she immediately called her male co-worker who was in a newly committed relationship.
Mike, of course, thought I was nuts and over reacting. It is a possibility I was over reacting, but I don't think it was unreasonable for me to question her motives.
Anyway, when Mike broke up with me he told me that he had listened to John Tesh the other night and he said if you are with someone who tends to be jealous you need to move on. OMG! I might have been a tiny bit jealous, but I wasn't off base with this chick. She went on to break up another co-worker's marriage and hook up with him. MIKE WAS AN IDIOT! Seriously?! You are going to base your relationship on generic advice from John Tesh? Apparently so!
What makes this even worse was that Mike and I had bonded with each other's families by this point. When Mike dumped me he told me to be strong for my parents so they wouldn't be too upset that we had broken up. What?! You've just dumped me and I need to be strong for so my parents won't be too upset when they find out. Heck no! My dad needs to know it's okay to beat you to a bloody pulp. HA!
Geez! John Tesh and Mike ruined the life I had begun planning. My dad did want to beat Mike to a bloody pulp and so did my mom! lol
I can tell you that I have refused to listen to John Tesh on the radio every since then. Unfortunately, I wasn't as smart about Mike. He and I managed to get back together and break up two more times before our relationship finally ended.
I might share the rest of the Mike story later. If I can manage to do so without raising my blood pressure. :)
