How I Met My Husband...part deux

Chris Watters is a symbol for all the boys in the world that every girl wishes she could have but knows she couldn't. He is that bad boy who would never tie himself down to one relationship. He seems to have a girl in every state who is might be engaged to, and they are all chasing him across America. Not only that, but he's a tortured soul because he had to go through the war and trauma that ordinary people may not have had to go through. Edie of course falls in love with him, but her love is more puppy love than true love. She is more infatuated with him than anything else. He is the first boy who ever spoke to her like she was a woman, even though that was just after he saw her dressed up and in makeup. If Edie would have met him while he was flying his plane by where she worked and she wasn't all dressed up, he would not have given her a second look. The fact that he didn't mention that he was engaged was also very fishy because what guy who wants to be engaged doesn't shout it to the world? He is the kind of guy that Edie was able to look back and wonder what her life would have been like if they ended up together, but she knows that the safe, secure bet was to marry her husband, the Carmichael.

This story is told so that it is centered around Watters instead of Carmichael. Watters is the man who made her meet Carmichael because she waited for his letters for so long. I was very happy that Edie was able to admit to herself at some point that Watters was never going to write to her. Many girls spend their lives pining for their lost "love." Edie, on the other hand, found the good in her bad situation with Watters through her husband Carmichael.
