My boyfriend forgot I broke up with him after getting a concussion — now we’re married
New York Post ^ | Nov. 8, 2024 | Adriana Diaz

A Utah couple’s love story included a breakup, dramatic accident, memory loss and a heartfelt reunion, which many online are likening to a plot straight out of a Hallmark movie. Jenna Brotherson married her now-husband Mitchell seven months after breaking up — but only because a concussion caused him to forget they weren’t together.

“When people ask us about our love story it’s our favorite part to tell,” she said. Jenna and Mitchell, now both 27, had been friends for several months before they started dating.

But in February 2020, Jenna called things off with her then-boyfriend because she was “too overwhelmed with life.” The next day, Mitchell was skiing at Utah’s Beaver Mountain when he attempted a flip, blacked out and woke up while paramedics were taking him to the hospital.

She broke up with him once, she’ll break up with him again.

I don’t buy a lot of these stories. They seem contrived.

She broke up with him once, she’ll break up with him again.

And next time she'll get alimony!

Not necessarily.

I called it off with my then-boyfriend several months into the relationship. He was the strong, silent type...too dang silent. It broke my heart to do it, but I knew I would not be happy living like that “till death us do part” and I didn’t think it was fair to ask him to change himself just to please me. I wished him only the best and sincerely hoped he would find someone who loved him just as he was.

It was the most miserable week of my life.

By the end of the week he was on my doorstep, wanting to talk. We had the deepest conversation of our relationship until that point and wound up in each other’s arms.

We’ve been together for 35 years and married for 32 years.

He increased his daily allotment of words from 10 to 100. Some days he doesn’t even use 10, but after being together for so long, we don’t need them anymore. In exchange, I love him, support him, let him be the man, and do my best to bring him peace.

There’s a ton of stuff on the Internet that never happened.

I guess it keeps people occupied...
