Throughout most of my high school and college years, I was the one who was usually the "heartbreaker" in my dating relationships. Shortly after I graduated from college, however, I found myself on the other end of a breakup, which left me devastated.
I was in love with a woman I'd been dating in college. The summer after my graduation, I flew to her hometown in New England for a visit. We had written each other most of the summer with great longing and anticipation for our upcoming reunion.
Upon arriving at the airport, my friend cheerfully greeted me, but I noticed something different in her attitude. We hadn't even gotten to her home before she confessed that she was dating someone else. Although she felt slightly conflicted about the situation, she apparently saw no real problem with having me visit. I also became aware of the fact that drugs were a part of her new summer relationship. This was quite a dramatic shift.
