Blast From The Past
Once upon a time, far far away, Bat had an intense emotional affair with a former co-worker. That is to say, he used to work with this person, but this person moved away. They missed each other and reconnected long distance. Bat's personal life became extremely complicated because of this woman, but eventually Bat decided that even though it was long distance, he would try to start a relationship with her.
Bat was unaware of the Evil New Boyfriend. As Bat tried to kindle something special, the Evil New Boyfriend made other plans. Eventually, Bat received an phone call from Evil New Boyfriend saying "Hahahaha, I have won this woman's heart! You will never hear from her again. We are to be married and you are to never hear from her again."
Bat was destroyed (or thought he was). No explanation. No why. No goodbye. Just a person with which he had an intense emotional bond, ripped out of his life forever.
Now the future has become the past. Five years later, Bat is happy with his new life, his new job, his new home and most importantly, his new girlfriend. He rarely thinks of the woman that crushed him, but when he does, it is always in the context of a lesson learned.
Of course Bat hears from this woman again. Just when he is content and satisfied, the woman that caused so much emotional torment sends an innocuous email asking if he is ok. Bat replies that he is fine, but the woman has no business contacting him because it will only cause problems with the Evil New Boyfriend/Husband.
Bat is then told that Evil New Boyfriend/Husband is not longer in the picture. Bat's nemisis was found banging the baby sitter about a year after he was married. After Evil New Boyfriend/Husband was kicked out of the house, he proceded to do copious amounts of drugs and moved the underage baby sitter in with him.
After the woman filed for divorce, the Evil New Boyfriend/Husband went on a bender and crashed the babysitter's car at over a hundred and twenty miles an hour. He is now a parapalegic and begging the woman to take him back. After two years, the woman is still unable to get her divorce.
Now I know what some people might think. I'm pretty sure I know what Bat's Girlfriend thinks. The honest truth is that Bat feels sorry for this woman a little bit, but doesn't wish for anything to be different. Bat is very happy and is a better man for the lessons learned. Bat does feel a little vindicated (but isn't sure why).
Moral of the story? AIN'T KARMA A BITCH?

That is SCANDALOUS!
But man, you were totally rescued from that by fate. The same fate I'm sure you totally cursed to the high heavens back in the day, but the universe always seems to know what's best.
It's hard not to feel bad for the girl cuz her situation now is SO dire, but really, she should've told you back then that she was with this other guy (unless she was totally unaware of your interest in her), and besides, SHE PICKED HIM. I doubt the poor-decision-making idiot changed his personality overnight to the unfaithful druggy he is and that before he got married, he was a prince.
It looks like you and your girlfriend are having similar hindsight experiences: one look back and you get instant closure with the knowledge that the past is crap and has no future potential, and the present is the best thing you have.
karma is a big fat hairy bitch
I'm very glad you're happy where you are, that's my biggest fear right now.
Karma is indeed a bitch.
Such is life..that is all..
I see this as 'things work out as they should...always...'
Yeah that really sucks when people you thought were friends just bail.
I wouldn't wish that on any friend of mine.
Sometimes people bail because they weren't friends afterall... sometimes it's all in ones' head.
So sometimes you didn't lose a friend afterall.
