Someone Like You

Oh, it's a small world after all.

Last night, Hubs discovered through a rather meandering path that my dear Roommate's (pre-wedding roommate, that is) first cousin is a girl that Hubs met online and dated before he and I met in person. They went on a few dates. She liked him. A lot, from the sounds of it. He broke it off with her after our second date.

And as evidence that breakups make the world even smaller, our neighborhood could have morphed into an awkward duck-and-cover mission, since Roommate had invited this same cousin to stay with her for a while this summer. It fell through. I'm trying to imagine the look on everyone's faces if Hubs and I had shown up some evening to meet Roommate's new temporary roommate.

Oy.

This is the first time I've been on "this side" of a relationship disappointment. But what can I say, my Hubs is pretty great. I'm sure lots of girls have had crushes dashed.

I hope that they all find someone like him.

(Perhaps this whole post, while factual, was really just an angle to reference the brilliant Adele song in my blog. You know. For the SoundTrack version that I'm supposed to make some day.)
