A 35-YEAR-OLD man is technically still in a relationship with his girlfriend from school because he never sent his mate over to dump her.
Tom Logan of Redditch failed to observe the customary ritual of dispatching a friend to tell Mary Fisher they were no longer a couple 22 years ago, when attending Arrow Vale Secondary, and consequently their relationship has continued until this day.
The news means Logan has two-timed her with eight different women, including his current wife, and everyone in his life now considers him a dirty disgusting cheat.
Logan said: “I forgot! That’s all that happened! Is that such a crime?
“Yes, looking back I remember Jo Kramer coming over to ask me out for Mary, and agreeing, and then the ritual never got performed in reverse. But it’s been decades. It doesn’t mean it still stands.
“It was one of those relationships you have as a 13-year-old where you don’t talk to each other or spend any time together or acknowledge each other, much like my present marriage. Now my wife’s claiming it’s grounds for divorce.”
Logan is resolving the situation by sending mate Joe Turner on a 880-mile round trip to Mary’s home in Aberdeen to tell her he is not going out with her anymore, and rewarding him with a Panini sticker of Steve McManaman.
