Is Unrequited Love the Price of Adventure in Vietnam?

So you dumped her? And now you're with someone else!

No - we just went separate ways. We were both undergraduates, and I didn't have a secure future at that point. That was more than 30 years ago.

We ran into each other about 5 years later, after we both got married. I mentioned how great is was being married. Unfortunately, she responded that she was glad that it was working for somebody. At the time, she was nursing her few months old son, and her marriage was apparently already in trouble. I think she sacrificed a promising career.

Actually, I never dumped any girl. They usually lost interest.

Most of the time however, I simply avoided exclusive (bf/gf) relationships in favor of just being friends.

Knowing Turbo it was over 30 years ago, in Maine these WERE Jane Austin's times.

Actually, it was almost exactly 40 years ago. I had barely enough money to stay fed on the trip - certainly not enough to pay bus-fare, thus the hitch-hiking.
