I’d met him while working in the writing center my second year of graduate school at Cal State Northridge. He was 36, charming, handsome and an intellectual (he double majored in philosophy and English lit). She wanted to move in and have kids, and he wasn’t sure she was right for him. On the following Monday, he told me he had gotten back together with his girlfriend. He said he knew it wasn’t the right thing to do but that it was necessary.
