Triple M (Then: July 2008)

I had a good Jewish male friend who I was head over heels in love with when I first moved to London in 2008.  I used to refer to him as MMM. We had a brief romance. I spent many many months hooked on this man but it was clear to me that we would not have a future together as I was not willing to to become Jewish and wouldnt want to raise children in a culture that I wasnt a part of. It eventually drove a huge wedge between us. Losing his companionship during a time when I was already struggling in a lonely city I felt completely lost and very down.

In the meantime the "The American" was messaging me on a regular basis on facebook asking when he would be able to meet me. After many months of pining over what could never be with MMM and needing a distraction I finally agreed to meet Jack for lunch after he told me that he was longing to find out what it sounded like when I laughed.. Clearly a line! But a winning one nevertheless...
