I met her a year ago tomorrow. She changed my life.
We were (are) both married, but in open relationships. We met on an online dating site. The first time we met in person, I was expecting to have lunch and stay an hour. I ended up having dinner and staying for 8 hours.
She taught me about *real* Szechuan food: hotpot, dry spicy chicken. We met in her VRBO, a land apart from the world. We dined and played and reveled in our togetherness.
Last summer, she invited me to go to Europe with her. She just got tenure and was going to a conference. We met afterwards in France.
At first, things were good. But in our tour of France, things became sour. We bickered and explored our destinations separately. We slept in separate beds. Finally, in Marseilles, prior to her going back home, she told me she didn't want to date any longer.
I have not seen her in almost 4 months.
She opened me up to a new cuisine, a new language, and encouraged me to accept a job teaching in China over the summer. I am a different person now than I was last year this time.
I miss her.
