As Murphy would have it

During the Spring break I had the misfortune of running into an ex. It would appear that whenever we're dressed to the nines and feeling oh so gorgeous we never seem to run into an old flame, but as Murphy's law would have it, we always seem to run into an ex when we aren't appropriately dressed for the occasion. Wearing a pair of baggy jeans; hair looking as though a tornado just passed by; an old t-shirt and looking thoroughly deshelved, I managed to run into my ex, who of course looked as though she had just walked out of Elle Magazine. Damn you Murphy! After the awkward should we hug or should we shake hands moment, I managed to see the gleaming reflection of the sun on what appeared to be a wedding ring - it was and since our break-up she has managed to find someone new and get married, whilst I still remain single. Unfortunately she happens to be one of those crazy exes who had stalked me for over 6 months since our split, so in a way, I know at least that she won't stalk me again. To add insult to injury her husband, oh yes, her husband joined our conversation - he is the living Ken doll - shiny teeth; perfect hair and dressed like a rockstar, but the personality did not fit the look which to be honest I'm rather thankful for. It would be easy to say that we should just shrug such a situation off, but truth be told, it's not that easy - in a way we do want our exes to see the person we've become since the split and looking the part is just one of the perks, but often we don't manage to look our best when we bump into an ex, especially when they're looking good and with their new partner - personally I blame Murphy for this.
