I dunno what is wrong with me but my fascination with a certain UK soap drama had kinda died down a bit...at the crucial point. Just when the ex boyfriend came back after a long time from nowhere after disappearing to Dublin just like that right smack in the middle of wedding plans that were going awry. Aaah...bliss. How much drama can it get? Apparently, it's possible! When the couple quarreled after one of them felt that the wedding was too rushed, followed with cheating by sleeping with the runaway boyfriend and then the next thing you know, the other half got poisoned upon finding out a dark secret of another character. Fuyoh.....and I didnt catch that all!!
Okay first and foremost, I knew that this was bound to happen through leaked spoilers and second, it was rather painful to see someone leave the show like that. Hey, he's a hunk so you know where Im heading with this. I somehow also knew that the writers had along wanted the original couple to be together but I never liked that guy because he toyed with two people's feelings and was totally selfish about it. As much as I appreciated his return to shake things up a bit and put a closure on the relationship, I just could not get used to his character. I am so so sorrie...but this guy was a total jerk and...and....he got the happy ending?!!! While the other guy who had been compassionate with other people and helping them through hard times, died coz..I dunno..he found a 'secret' that was so 'evil' he had to die for it?
What is wrong with you people?!!!
Ah well, I guess being a jerk might not be such a bad thing after all. Pfft...
I know what you're thinking. It's just soap drama and hence, the exaggeration. But it got me thinking that what if this happen in real life and you are being treated like some sort of filler for someone's void. And that all the promises that he gave you and all the love declarations became mere words only when the presence of an ex girlfriend shook things up a bit. Believe it or not, it happened before to an old friend of mine when she thought she found happiness with a guy who treated her so well and then he dumped her because he reconciled with his ex girlfriend. He even admitted that all the while that they were together, he could not stop thinkin about his ex after she dumped him.
But on the other hand, upon watching a short film two weekends ago, I learnt that some things could not work out because two people can be on two different paths and their expectations could differ which might explain why they dont see things eye to eye. But later in life, somehow the time spent away from each other will make them reflect on their past relationship and realised they need each other more than ever. So their paths converge with each other again and old feelings stir up again and they're back together.
However, though it may seem like a fairytale ending, hearts are bound to be broken especially if one of them or even both of them have met other people. The question becomes, will you sacrifice your current love for an old love who is begging you emotionally to tie loose ends together and make things work this time round? Are you willing to come clean with him or her and say that you cant carry on with the current relationship or are you willingto play the cat and mouse game by cheating and hoping he or she catch a drift?
But like I said, whichever path you chose, hearts are bound to be broken even though I still think that cheating is not advisable. I guess the guilt is twice as hard to swallow and it is also just plain stupid and clearly lack in judgment and maturity.
Still, whats your take onn a past love returning back to either haunt you or bring back the level of happiness that you used to experience?
