A woman recounts her reaction to meeting her ex’s new lookalike girlfriend
It’s no secret that some men have "a type," and that’s exactly what one woman discovered about her ex when she finally met his new girlfriend. According to the unnamed woman, her 10-year marriage to husband Daniel ended after years of emotional abuse, and just three months after it ended, he had a new girlfriend named Sally.
Everything seemed fine, and the woman’s kids seemed to like Sally, but she was certainly surprised when one day she went to her ex’s house to bring her daughter some books and found out that Sally looked exactly like her, same height and size, and they both had dark curly hair and blue eyes. “Sorry, I can’t stop staring at you,” was all she could say. “You and I could be sisters!”
The woman says the encounter left her “disturbed,” and she even contemplated changing her appearance so they didn't look so similar. She soon got tired of people telling her how much she looked like Sally and one friend even tried to make her feel better telling her, “Maybe him wanting to be with a woman that looks like you is his weird way of showing you that he did love you even though he messed up?,” although she didn’t buy it.
- Daniel and Sally eventually married, and the woman says she's gotten used to things. Plus, she notes her kids don’t really talk about how much the two women look alike except one, who told her, “you’re a bit prettier, Mom.” Good job, kiddo!

Former high school sweethearts stay friends and get married 37 years later.
When Kimberly Dean and Ron Palmer started dating, she was a freshman in high school and he was a senior, and they broke up when he graduated. But they parted on good terms, stayed friends and kept in touch over the years. Whenever one of them went through a breakup, they’d call the other and in one of those calls, they made an important deal.
Dean says they were both tired of being single and were fed up with dating and jokingly agreed to get married if they were both still single when she turned 50. Then they kind of forgot about it, but stayed in each other’s lives and then in 2016, decided to give being a couple a second chance. This time it stuck and a year later Palmer popped the question and she said yes!
Dean, now 51, and Palmer, now 54, got their happy ending when they tied the knot on June 1st. "We started out as friends, we fell in love and we parted as friends, but we still cared for each other," Palmer says of his wife. "I've always loved her because she's such an awesome friend."
