“I was a medical student, and I was hooking up with my (female) supervising surgical consultant. A lot. For a year.”

I'm a Senior Staff Writer who writes a wide range of topics, spanning from people's real-life drama to pop culture to funny things I find on the internet.

"We never saw or spoke to each other again until five years later, when I was meeting my boyfriend’s mom and stepdad. And who is my boyfriend’s stepdad? You guessed it, Paris man. We have only talked about it once, my stepfather-in-law and I, to acknowledge how awkward it was, and we agreed to never speak of it again, as we were both single at the time. Two years after our fling, he met and married my husband’s mother, and all it would do now is hurt people we love. We have literally never talked about it again, and no one in the family knows. After meeting him again, I stopped wearing the necklace. Maybe when my daughter graduates college, more than ten years from now, I will give it to her as a gift."
