The subject line is my contribution to Six-Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak, out from Harper Perennial in time for Valentine's Day.

Some other good ones I spotted while flipping through the book:

"He still needs me at sixty-four." -- Armistead Maupin

"Married by Elvis, divorced by Friday." -- G.M. Rouse

"Thought Yiddish. Married British. Oy! Oi!" -- Rachel Pine

"Inevitably, his obituary didn't mention me." -- R. Sue Dodea

And my favorite so far:

"My book title makes dating awkward." -- V. V. Ganeshananthan
