Running into an ex
So this was embarrasssing. Understand I've been with my wife over 40 years, so the women I went out with over the years aren't really front and center in my thoughts.
Went to Costco this morning, as I was walking in a woman walking out called me by name. I said Yes and she started asking me about how I was and what was up in my life. We chatted about our careers, told her about my kids and grandson, she said they didn't have kids. Followed up about whether I ended up getting my PhD (I did) and what I did for my career (taught). Problem was I didn't have a fucking clue who she was. She fit the profile of the kind of women I usually chased - tall, buxom, dark hair, so that didn't do alot to narrow the search. Even though she's in her 60s, she looked pretty good.
After a couple of minutes she paused and said "you don't recognized me, do you?" I said, that well no, but I had been with my wife for over 40 years so you need to cut me a little slack, not like a didn't play the field over the years. She looked at me and said "Diane?" Fuck. We literally dated for over a year, only truly long term relationship I had as an undergrad. We shared a laugh over my situation, hugged and went on our ways. I haven't told my wife about this, doubt she'd really care but I don't want the abuse over not recognizing a woman I had been with for so long.
