I've share it many times but the condensed version (I'm not good at condensing so we'll see how this goes) - I was engaged to a guy that, in hindsight, was just not right for me. We loved each other and had amazing chemistry, enjoyed many of the same things - but we fought a lot. We had some differences that caused problems between us that never seemed to get better. I was on tour with a show and my father was dying - so it was a very emotional time in my life. I met someone on tour and we gradually got to know each other. After awhile, I realized that he "got" me more than my fiancé did. It was really tough for me because I felt like my father was hanging on in an attempt to make it to the wedding - and here I was, falling for some other guy. At the end of the day - I knew that it was unfair to go ahead with a wedding for my father when all he really wanted was for me to be happy. And it wouldn't be fair to my fiancé to marry him if I was falling for another guy. So, I called off the wedding and I've been with my husband ever since.
Sometimes people stay in relationships past their expiration dates. Sometimes people stay in relationships and they don't realize that they are unhappy because they don't know what a relationship can be like. Sometimes it takes meeting the right person to realize that you are with the wrong person. And I'm not talking about once a cheater, always a cheater or the grass is always greener type stuff. I mean that not everything is black and white and sometimes you can't see the forest through the trees. In my case - I did the right thing. I've been with my husband for over 10 years, have never been tempted by another man, and have never regretted my decision.
That's why I'm saying that the girl in this scenario might still be a possibility. Oh - and I was 25 when I met my husband - so not that much older than 23!
