The Perfect Stand-In: Why I Chose My Sugar Baby Over My First Love
Language: en
Seven years after breaking up with my first love, I took in a college boy who looked just like him. Everyone around me said he was just a substitute, but he would only smile softly and never argue. As time went on, I felt that living like this wasn't bad at all. I warned my friends: "Don't call him a stand-in. I'm going to marry him." That single sentence caused my first love, who was halfway across the world, to book an overnight flight back to the States. Even though we had been apart for years, and he had never once come back for me.
