Imagine how heartbreaking it would be if your SO lost his or her memory, and didn’t have a clue who you were or what you had done together.

That was the reality for a man from Kent, England, who had to win his girlfriend’s heart all over again when she lost her memory.

Jessica Sharman, 20, was with her 25-year-old boyfriend Rich Bishop on the train when she suffered a series of seizures.

The attack robbed her of her memory, meaning she didn’t recognize herself or know who her boyfriend and parents were, The Sun reported.

It proved to be a major challenge for her relationship with Rich, but he’s managed to get her to fall in love with him a second time.

But, crushingly, doctors say there is a 50 percent chance she could lose her memory again, meaning Rich will have to start from scratch.

Jessica said, "Rich was able to make me fall in love with him twice — so I know he could do it again."

This movie is creepy as fuck the more you think about it.

 

[Derwind]

What a lovely story, though sad that she had to face that and that she may face that sort of trauma again.

 

[SamuelSupreme]

I fucking hated this finale. All and everything Chuck did was lost. It was so heartbreaking.

 

[DrBo42]

Skinny jeans and a pocket square? Dude must have an amazing personality.

Jokes aside that's pretty amazing.

I can't believe this couple is ripping off Hollywood.

 

[Dunkley]

What a heartwarming story. Really shows how much that Rich fellow is devoted to her.

Here's hoping she does not wound up losing her memories again.

Hollywood has actually already done it

Something similar happened to a married couple back in the 90s:

Their saga began 10 weeks after their wedding on Sept. 18, 1993. They were in a serious automobile accident that left Krickitt with no memories of her husband or their new marriage. She suffered a severe brain trauma that wiped out 18 months of her life - the entire time she and Kim met, dated and married.

While he was still madly in love with her, he was a stranger she wanted nothing to do with.

Which they then made a movie about with Channing Tatum and Rachel MacAdams.

And then China also made a movie about it with a slightly different premise

Imagine waking up with amnesia and watching those videos of you kissing some complete stranger.

She's definitely worth the effort.

I remember they played this movie on the flight our senior class took for our Graduation trip to Costa Rica. I had ZERO interest in watching it & literally went to sleep as the opening credits rolled and woke up when the end credits started. I was really thankful for that nap!

 

[HardRojo]

Imagine waking up with amnesia and watching those videos of you kissing some complete stranger.

Doesn't sound too different from waking up hungover after partying and seeing videos of what you did last night...

 

[MarionCB]

"Who are you?"

"Rich Bishop"

"But what's your name?"

It's a sweet story though. Pretty scary that you can just lose your memory like that. Hopefully she's alright from here on.

 

[righthandmouse]

Bullshit that he gets a free do over.

 

[Grenchel]

Like, it's sad that she forgot about this guy, but what about everyone else she forgot about?

 

[F34R]

This movie is creepy as fuck the more you think about it.

This is my life lol.

I don't have short term memory, meaning I can't form new memories. All I have is notes I read every day.

Jessica struggled to accept Rich, explaining she “hated” it when they were left alone together, and even tried to break up with him.

But seeing how “passionate and caring” he was convinced her how much they cared for each other, and they haven’t looked back since.

In a bid to win back her heart, Rich has taken her for walks in the park, to their favorite restaurants and has told her about their history.

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I can't even imagine how heartbreaking a situation like that would be. It's nice that things turned out well!

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Like, it's sad that she forgot about this guy, but what about everyone else she forgot about?

Now that I am a parent, yeah my thoughts went to her parents and how she felt uncomfortable with them, would break my heart if that happened to my baby girl.

 

[The Kree]

Make hundreds of sex tapes in case it happens again.

 

[Majukun]

isn't amnesia like we know it from movies just a myth?

 

[GeordieMark]

🤔

"You always used to give me Saturday morning blow jobs. Don't you remember love?".

You forgot to list forums. To confirm if those late night alcohol runs were legit...

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Actually the only one Adam Sandlers movie that I liked.

 

[Already Torn]

Is this that weird? If you completely lose your memory, you're bound to feel anchored to anyone you feel can give you a sense of self. He was with her on the train and was probably helping her through the whole process, plus she's probably genetically attracted to him in the first place. And they're probably still dating on Facebook. I guess the only thing that could ruin it was if he was a huge asshole.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

This is my life lol.

Geez, sounds more like Memento

 

[always crazy bacon]

The 50% chance to lose memory again, damn that's scary.

Just preemptively make a video of you together telling yourself this is your partner. 2nd time is easy as you can prep.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Really? That sounds hard to cope. Since when?

By the way hiw you remember that movie?

 

[~Kinggi~]

OPs Montauk shout out is underrated.

Nah make an Arnold "I want my life back" video in the end of Total Recall to convince you future self you are a spy.
