Betrayl

Good pick Krista! I hope I didn't ever betray you guys, and if I did I am so VERY sorry. And Krista, I forgive you for not telling me you got married. :o)

I dated this guy off and on through our senior year and after we graduated. He joined the Marine Corps and went to Basic when I was 19 (he was a couple years older than me). Anyway, he left and I stuck with him even though he was talking about wanting to get married when he got back from Basic and I didn't have the heart to tell him that I had no intention of marrying him. We dated for almost another year before I told him that I had no intention of ever marrying him. Looking back I realize that I should have been honest with him but he was one of those super nice guys that you don't want to hurt because you know it will crush them. I know I hurt him when I told him no but it did work out for the best, he ended up meeting a very nice girl who already had one kid and getting married. I know that it all worked out for the best but it didn't make me feel any better at the time. Thankfully I can now look back and say I was young and dumb and that I would never intentionally do that to anyone.

K... Can we pick a less depressing topic next time please? :o) I hate being reminded of the bad decisions I made! But I guess, confession is good for the soul! :o)

Betraying

Have you ever betrayed someone close to you? If so, what did you do and did they ever figure out it was you?

I figured since I have some time tonight, I will answer one of the hard questions on the list.

I don't think I've ever purposely betrayed someone but there are a few times someone might say I did. I hope I didn't do that with any of you guys.

So the first one I remember is James Sweeney. I dated him right after Prom until he left for basic training in July. We talked about marriage and everything after he was done with Tech school. Then I dumped him while he was in the last week of Basic.

Looking back, he was just a rebound from Kyle. Someone to hang out with before I went to college. I'm sure I heart his little heart. Especially during Basic training! It wasn't nice of me.

But I'm glad I did it. I can't imagine being married to him now... Oh the drama!! :)


Second was when I got married. We didn't tell a lot of people and I hurt lots of people. I'm sorry if I hurt you chicas. That was not my plan at all.

We decided Friday night to get married. We called Bishop Brower and he said we needed to meet with him. So we scheduled for Sunday. Then we left to go to Spokane for a friend's birthday party. We came back Saturday night, met with Bishop Brower (Scott Brower's grandpa) and set a date for Tuesday.
We went to Chris' house first to tell his family. They were pissed and actually hit Chris. We left there and told my parents. They were just as pleased. Or not. My dad almost hit Chris.

So from that, we were really hestiate to who we told. We didn't want anymore fights. Or people telling us it was dumb. So we told our families and my roommates left it at that. I didn't have a lot of faith in people at that point.

I now know that I should have called you guys, and some other close friends. Your guys support would not have stopped because you thought I was stupid! :)

If I could go back, I would have changed how we got married. We would have told everybody and dealt with the consequences. We probably would have waited a bit longer, like a weekend.

I think the most common question we still get asked was if I was pregnant. Ha ha it took us two years to get prego with Connor but it's a reasonable question. I would have asked it too!

Really the main reason we got married so fast was because Chris wanted to join the Air Force but couldn't because of Veronica. (You can't be a single parent and join the AF.) I was graduating school that next month and we both had no 'good' jobs lined up. Domino's barely paid for my cell bill let alone rent and food. SOoO joining the AF was the best thing for us. Little did we know, it was going to take 6 months to even get to Basic.

Well anyway those are my times I think I betrayed people. Please enlighten me if there are more!!

What are yours?
