My high school boyfriend and I were watching the third Lord of the Rings movie when his brother had an aneurysm and fell down the stairs. I had my first aid training and had to perform CPR until the paramedics showed up. It was not like the dummies because he was choking on his own blood and a big old bloody chunk of phlegm came out of his throat when I cleared it.

The brother survived but a really smart kid became barely functioning. The relationship ended. My now husband (not high school boyfriend) loves Lord of the Rings and always wants to watch it be (which is fine. I like different movies and I would totally watch Harry and the Henderson's with him 4 times per year).

I'm still friends-ish with my ex's brother. He's way better now and back to baseline. My ex got really into meth but now he's an addiction counselor.
