So the short version is someone he dated in high school but wasn't really the pedigree his parents would have wanted so lots of sneaking around as kids, romeo and juliet type stuff, before he finally gave in at some point between their senior year and or first years of college. Instead of admitting his parents got to him, he lied and say he did something terrible so she would end it and he would be the bad guy that he felt like he was. That wasn't really a very short, short version was it?
