I was previously married and i was in my 20s…. Before that was what was everyone else doing.
Back before marriage, I had this “perfect” girlfriend who was fat. But subsequently I’ve changed her name.

I tend to apply the rules of the usage of past perfect to this sentence. Can someone use this non verbal tense into something complex? Before Wed I had one girlfriend that had fat?
How can I share what I learn from this story?
If I have a fat girlfriend, I say that my girlfriend had gotten thinner and that someone not wearing that to be sure. She was not!
When we were children we used to visit a derelict building which had been a tire factory.
What does it take for an honest human to have all the answers?
