Day 2 - Your First Love (in great detail)
I don't know if I'll truly provide "great detail" but you can decide
I don't even know if I would classify as any of my previous boyfriends as a real love. I think the closest would be Jeremy, since we talked about a future together, marriage, children, where we could spend holidays....
Jeremy and I met my freshman year of college. He was a senior and one of the co-founders of my college's radio station. I signed up with my friend Nehal to do a radio show, and by the beginning of the second semester, she and I were asked to take over the radio station the following year. That meant being trained on everything in further detail by the people who started it all, so Jeremy and I spent a good amount of time together.
I should point out that I was dating a guy named Danny when I started college. He was an ass and couldn't get over the fact that I decided not to go to Frostburg with him. I told him that if I'd gone there, I would have been known as "Danny's girlfriend, Corinne" and I wanted to be known as "Corinne, Danny's girlfriend."
Anyway....
Jeremy and I got to be pretty good friends. He took me out to Sonar in Baltimore and Nation in DC, introduced me to some fun people, and just showed me how to have a better time. Around early March, I finally ended things with Danny. I was tired of constantly arguing and just felt like it was time to cut the strings. I was hurting a little bit of course, but Jeremy helped me out of my funk and got my mind off of everything. Fast forward a few weeks and we were in a steady relationship.
After graduating, Jeremy worked in Baltimore and rented a huge townhouse with a bunch of friends. I was there every weekend and it was great. We got along really well and it was great. When the lease on the townhouse was up, I was also in the market for an apartment because I had transferred to a different college and wouldn't be able to find a place on-campus. Jeremy and I got an apartment together and lived there for a year and a half.
Sometime in August 2005, Jeremy completely blindsided me with a break-up. We had been together two and a half years, gone to weddings and other family events together, talked about kids, where we would live, engagement rings, finances....EVERYTHING. It was the most serious relationship either of us had ever been in. Every couple hits bumps in the relationship road, and I thought we were working through it....but I was very wrong. I was devastated and took it really hard, not eating or sleeping for days and just generally not doing too well. We continued to live together for another six months before he finally moved into the city to be closer to work. I still talk to Jeremy here and there, and I know a few years ago he moved to Colorado.
I'm sure I'm leaving out some stuff, but I don't want to bore anyone with all of the ins and outs. I don't want to re-live a bunch of it either I guess.
