Essentially 'cos I was boring.

In those days (1975) the cool thing for a female to be was "wild". She was at Art School hanging out with bohemians and I was a dull Uni Student.

I once bought a new pair of shoes and they were almost identical to my old ones and she flew into a rage because I didn't get "different shoes".She said then or at some other time I was "limited". And I was. There was nothing exciting or interesting about me. But then my mates were the same. Just lower middle class/working class kids from the 'burbs.

She wanted to be popular and like any young woman was exploring the potential of her sexual power. She'd always be smothering people, men and women, with false friendship/affection and of course they'd respond warmly. She was an attractive girl but no head-turner.

Stupidly I'd wear my heart on my sleeve and get jealous when she flirted with blokes. She was an exhibitionist and in love with herself. And she had an ugly best girlfriend who didn't have a boyfriend and was resentful of us and took great delight in regaling me with my wife's past history of boyfriends because she knew it would upset me. Bitch! Lesson in life...don't let people know what hurts you.

Anyway...I took my wife to the other side of the country to get away from all the small town stuff and my horrid mother-in-law. Big mistake as my wife pined for her family. She met up with a feminist cabal and they were whispering in her ear about how wrong it was that she was working to support me at Uni.There was an older, sophisticated dude who hung out with them and she fell for him. Didn't last long and she fell for his best friend and they've been partners ever since.

In the end it was better for all concerned as I have much more in common with my current partner but boy Oh boy the disruption it caused to our lives. Much unhappiness and I lost two years out of my Uni degree. She missed the opportunity to pursue her chosen career.Quite tragic like so many failed relationships are.
