Didn't Recognise Him

Setting the scene ...

In the 80s I had a boyfriend for about three years. He was good looking, looked after himself and spent a lot of money on designer clothes etc.

However, I got out of the relationship after suffering some domestic violence.

Anyway, a friend saw a recent photo of him on social media which she sent me.

He's now rotund (I'm being polite) and bald and looks like an old man. I didn't recognise him!!!! I had to smile.

The sad thing is that I'm probably now classed as an old woman too (mid 50's).

(I'm not one for body shaming etc, but because of what he put me through, he's an exception to the rule)!

Know what you mean. I got divorced after 13 years when I discovered my partner was having an affair.

I saw them a few years later and they looked like a drug addict due to their smoking and drinking. They also looked really old.

Can't pretend I felt sorry for them at all.
