A few years ago, my guy and I were in a suburb in New Jersey for work, but for different purposes. We were both supposed to be on the same flight going to Newark, but he never made it on the plane. It was a good thing, as he decided to end our relationship before this trip.
I was miserable for a number of reasons, the main one being that he had broken up with me. It was also my time of the month and I was coming down with a cold.
Things changed when we met at the office in New Jersey. He had issues at the border, which explained why he was late. I could tell by looking into his eyes that he wanted to know that I was okay, but didn't ask in front of my writing colleagues.
The following morning, he pinged me on Skype. We chatted briefly. He wanted to see me after work. We went out for dinner, which was painful at first. He then wanted me back, said that he was sorry, and we cuddled for the rest of the night. We were a couple again.
A couple of days later, my period was over. He was so elated. We went to a Walgreens and he bought a three-pack box of condoms. It was our first time having anal sex. It wasn't as enjoyable as our most recent experience last month. However, it was memorable!
We had two condoms remaining from that box. For years, I knew that I had kept them. I simply didn't know where they went.
Well, a week ago, I found them in a drawer. They are still good. The expiration date isn't for another year.
The condoms are good, as is our relationship.
So happy you are able to look back on that painful time from a happy place, CB. Hope you two are able to either use those condoms or place them in matching frames as keepsake reminders.

It was an unpleasant time. I was sad, but things turned out nicely and continue to.
DeletePerhaps I should frame the condoms. They would spark quite the conversation!
