1) His first girl friend's name, but he was trying to throw his wife off with these strange hints

2) Not enough data. You need to tell us the exchange rate.

So anyway, since there were not too many online games in those times, I was checking out his secret questions. One question was, "favorite person from the history". Exhausted all names from ashoka to gandhi to maradona. Then I thought, hmm, this is XB we are dealing with. So, I entered my name (his nick for me actually), and voila, hotmail gave me the option to change the password. What an ego trip that was.

You know...you do have a great opportunity to restart your "friendship" with your XB... after all, he is a known commodity, a trusted one, more understanding, perhaps equally regretting, and not likely to hurt you...i think you SHoULD..before he loses interest and you really "look"50...

not that there is anything wrong in staying true to XH ....Razz

lol... there's a lot more to the story. he took my password too. but no worries, no serious harm done either side. the passwords were temp. mine lasted 1 hour, his lasted maybe 2-3 weeks (before he gave the new one again). there wasn't much in either of the emails.

The funniest was, I was lazy about creating an FB account back then, so he gave me a password to his account. That way I could play quizzes and other games using his account. I used it for almost a year, stubborn about not creating one for myself. A couple of times, I posted some naughty status too, Very Happy. But the height was, I played a game, 'recognize the actresses based on their boobs'. Was honest gaming on my part. His wife saw that in her newsfeed and gave him a lecture - why do you embarrass me like that - obviously thinking that he had played that quiz. Anyway, so that was the end of that one, and I had to create my own FB.

I know it is impolite to interrupt a good story, but the timelines don't match unless you are really 28. FB is in existence since 2004 wonly.

I know it is impolite to interrupt a good story, but the timelines don't match unless you are really 28. FB is in existence  since 2004 wonly.

ya, what's wrong about the timeline?

Her timeline is just fine. She is 28 now and in 2004, 10 years ago she was 24...and math is "accurate" ( 28 - (41-28)/28 * 10 = approx 24 in 2004.

nothing wrong. I just realized that you were sharing the FB account with XB even after getting married. Some people might think that is weird but then it is their problem.
