My WHEW moment.

I almost got married right out of college. She dumped me. That was in the early 70s.

Ran into the lady about 10 years later. Found out that she had gotten married and gotten divorced. Then she launched into the grand soliliqouy about how wonderful and successful she was, over and over and over. Every sentence started with “I”. There was this harsh, nasty tone in her voice. In all my life, I’d never heard anything like it. I was really stunned. She’d been a very nice, funny, young lady when we went out. Now, she was just horrible. She wasn’t even all that successful. She was a union public school teacher, where you can’t get fired, and raises are automatic.

I guess I got lucky with that one.
