As I stated, I had been attempting to break up with him- even saying to him “I don’t want to see you anymore, please leave me alone” and he did not grasp that concept. I had a date with the other man, the bf decided he would join in (NO, he was not asked to join in). So I laid it out plain and simple.
Ye gads some of these stories are harsh. I’ve got some friends who had some bad ones.
Friend of mine had a doozy. Was married for 4 years, and was (were?) together 3 years before marrying. They were set to go on vacation (to visit relatives) over Christmas and come back New Year’s Eve. She backed out of trip for whatever reason. He was not suspicious…who wants to hang with the in-laws? He gets back home to find she’s packed up her stuff and is waiting around only long enough to tell him she wants a divorce. Granted, their relationship wasn’t as smooth as glass, but it truly did catch him out of left field. Nice New Year’s Eve celebration. She moved out that night. Post Script: 3 months later she had already dropped 35 pounds, and with her always-adorable face, she had become a knockout. Poor guy.
Different friends: Friend and wife of different friend began a non-sexual affair. She decided to leave her husband to be with other guy. They went apartment hunting, and she told her husband. They lined up a moving truck and friends (me and one of her friends) to help her move. Week goes by, and every friend in this group finds out and is outraged. (Except me…I’m a whiz at disassociation.) She decides to stay with husband. (Bad for them…locked in loveless, sexless marriage for years.) The other guy has been a pariah ever since. (Years now.) He probably lost a half dozen or more decade-long friendships that week. That’s harsh. The whole situation sucked and continues to suck.
sighs My quaint little story is so harmless in comparison. But it still hurts. Before you judge me too harshly for my part in second story, the girlfriend from my first post went and fucked the husband from story #2 (before his marriage) the week she dumped me. And I’m still friends with the husband, the wife, the other guy, and all the friends who ostracized him.
A friend of mine was on a two-week motorbiking/camping holiday with his girlfriend in the Pyrennees. He dumped her at the end of week one. There was only one bike and one tent, and they had to complete the holiday together.
A was dating my girlfriend from High School. December '01 The Saturday after LOTR debuted I show up to her house with a dozen roses and a bottle of bubbly. We have some fun (we hadn’t seen each other for any significant amount of time for a bout a month) then she starts crying and says she wants out of the relationship. Did I mention this was 3 days before Christmas, and I’d laid down a large chunk of change on Nice villa in the pocanoes? SO that was pissed away, and me like an idiot was still talking to her, trying to work stuff out. New Year’s Day she breaks down the reason she broke up with me. The debut day of LOTR she cheated on me with her “friend” from buffalo. :eek:
Did I forget to mention that she was the my first serious Girl friend, First adult Kiss, First sexual experience, and First love?
Man people should come with warning labels like “Heartbreaking Skank: Handle with care” :mad:
