Sometimes you need Really Good Running Shoes

I Was having the time of my life, 21 and tending bar, surrounded by my friends. I was living in a house I was sharing with roommates and really no responsibilities, just absolute fun for the first time in my life. This guy walks into the pub one day and tips me very well. I tried to give it back to him and he wouldn't take it back. He then started coming in to the pub everyday and it got to the point where I could not talk to my friends and wasn't having any fun. I went to dinner with him one night to try to explain, and it did not work well. It got even worse. I got this great idea, at the end of my shift, I will exit through the back door. So I left the drinks that people were buying me on the counter, which I did a lot anyway and immediately left through the back door to my car to make my exit. This did not last long. He found me. I did not want to go to dinner with him every night. He was really messing up my perfectly happy, fun life. I broke up with him so many times even though we weren't really dating.

Then came the night, I made the biggest mistake in my life. I had always been a good kid and never did anything spontaneously. He asked me to go to Vegas and get married. I started laughing and said you know I really don't even like you, you do not smile. I then said well can we get it immediately annulled and it would just be like an off the wall weekend? He said sure, exactly what I was thinking. In retrospect one of the biggest mistakes in my life.

We came back from Vegas. I was putting this nightmare behind me. I was going home, but my housemates were fighting and moving out. I knew I couldn't afford the rent on my own, so we will call him Jim, said come home with me. We are married anyway. I really did not want to, my other option was to go to my parents house, that were getting a divorce and I really thought, I had exited there for good. I thought what harm will it do, I will go there briefly and we will get the annulment and I will leave. This brief period was not so brief. He did not want the annulment. The brief period turned into years until I finally left the guy, who did not know how to laugh and I left my job and my friends. I could never go back to that time again. So buy really good running shoes and thoroughly plan out your escape route, and Vegas can be a trap. Maybe sometimes a week at your parents while you find a new roommate is not so bad? Have an amazing night if you want to.
