Once when I got the wedding invitation or save-the-date or whatever for a couple I was friends with, who had been a couple nearly the entire time I'd known them, I was really sad. Who knew I had a minor crush? Not me. And then a few years later when I got the baby announcement, I was sad all over again, because it meant that the option was totally and completely off the table. Which is not to say I feel your pain, because it wasn't even an ex.

When a friend of mine that I used to hook up with in law school got married and I went to his wedding, I got really sad because that option was now off the table. Of course, I was married at that time, for god's sake, and had not hooked up with him for 5 years or so, so I had no business getting sad, but whatever. The brain is a weird thing.
This is not to say I feel ABBA's pain either (although I would like to make her happy), but just to recount a stupid story.
Hmm. Post 5556. I guess I am not retiring yet.
