Was in town doing some Christmas shopping today and had a horrible experience
I bumped into my ex and the guy she was seeing behind my back
We were all housemates about 30 years me and the girl had been going out for about 18 months and I was about to propose Anyway one night when we were going out I’d got a call from my house mate Joe who had an accident at work , he got a shard of glass in his eye . The nurses had wrappped his eye in cotton gauze and he was allowed home as long as me or my girlfriend changed the gauze everyday
I done it for a week or so and she said she would do it one evening when I was at football
Anyhow they started seeing each other and have been together ever since
Still it gets me thinking if it hadn’t been for cotton eye Joe I’d of been married a long time ago .
