Four longtime girlfriends were sitting beside a pool, sipping cocktails and remembering the first boyfriends who had broken their hearts.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy first love was gorgeous,\u201d sighed Linda. \u201cOne kiss and my knees went weak. But he kept saying he wasn\u2019t ready for marriage. Eventually, I married an accountant.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAny sparks?\u201d asked Carol.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly when I touch the thermostat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carol sighed. \u201cMine wrote me poetry, called me his goddess, then ran off with someone called Debbie. I married a plumber instead.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWas that a compromise?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely. But when he says he\u2019ll come over on Friday, he actually arrives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Susan adjusted her sunglasses. \u201cMy first boyfriend promised me the moon. After five years, I realized he couldn\u2019t even commit to dinner. So I married a chef.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd are you happy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, the romance has cooled, but at least something\u2019s still hot when I get home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then they turned to Betty.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy first boyfriend was handsome, passionate and completely unreliable,\u201d she said. \u201cAt thirty-five, I decided I\u2019d waited long enough. I married a quiet man with a house, a pension and excellent manners.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you ever tell your husband you settled?\u201d Linda whispered.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce,\u201d Betty replied. \u201cHe said, \u2018Darling, you think you compromised? I proposed to a woman who said she loved cooking, never got jealous and could be ready in five minutes.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The other three burst out laughing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing. You can\u2019t win an argument when the man has kept the original advertisement!\u201d<\/strong>\ud83d\ude02<\/span><\/span>\ud83e\udd23<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Four longtime girlfriends were sitting beside a pool, sipping cocktails and remembering the first boyfriends who had broken their hearts. \u201cMy first love was gorgeous,\u201d sighed Linda. \u201cOne kiss and my knees went weak.
