Didn't happen to me but this girl I went to college with. She was with her ex boyfriend since they were in high school and she even came up to Oregon with him from California to attend the same college. I guess they were kind of off and on at times but very much together. Last year at our Super Bowl Party on campus, she came over to our place and was bragging about her guy and how the two were going to link up a little later so she wouldn't stay too long. She ended up staying most of the night with us and I was hitting on her the entire time which she didn't seem to mind (I was pretty drunk).

Anyway, she stayed with him for a little longer until she finally broke up with him for good. Good for her, right? Then, I remember her almost breaking down and crying during a lecture a few weeks later for no apparent reason. She didn't tell me but I later found out that her ex actually got married to another girl not too long after they split for the final time. He had been with her almost 6 years and just marries another girl. Not only that, she is really close with his family so she will have to put up with seeing both of them whenever they have get togethers and such. Looking back, I guess I can't really blame her for sort of flipping out a little bit in class.

So now she's been cutting her hair off and going hardcore feminist (she still looks good tho) How would you guys have handled this?
 
Handled what? If I was the girl? I'm not a girl.

The guy obviously found some clarity in life, so made a big decision with confidence. (Well... maybe he got tricked by a succubus)
 
What is with all these pathetic relationship threads lately?
 
Why would she continue to spend time with his family after that?

Like. I've gotten close with girls' families before but once it's done, it's done.
 
My best friend had his highschool girlfriend cheat on him and then, nine months later, give birth to the other guy's child. This was years ago, but he was devastated and couldn't understand. She was his first girlfriend and they'd planned to have kids together.

It all worked out, though. It took him 5 years, but he found a much sweeter woman and they are now happily married and have got three kids. They are so happy together it's god damn touching to me, because I was worried about him for a while. This woman respects him, loves him and likes him (the last two are not the same thing, btw.). The other woman as a bitch to him. We used to say he had a small box about their apartment door where she made him leave his balls when he came home from work.

Patience, brothers, and things can be worked out.
 
He moved on, good for him.
 
How would handle this if we were her? Or how would we handle this if we were you? What the fuck are you asking man?

Someone made a thread that disappeared the other day (Dump or Wasteland I assume) asking @Dragonlordxxxxx if we could have a separate movie and TV forum. All these sorry ass women problem threads and thinly veiled incel threads by @Goldman23 are evidence of why we need to keep movies in Mayberry because without them this place will become the sadddest bastion of incel ramblings you’ve ever seen.
 
my ex wife just got recently engaged
Honestly? i'm legit happy for her. I know the guy, he's a good dude, great to my kid, etc....

'Happy wife/Happy life' may not have worked out too well for me, but 'happy ex wife/happy kid's life' is doing wonders.

Although tbf, if I wasn't in a coparenting situation perhaps i'd be more butthurt haha

sounds like he got tired of bull shit and settled down
 
This is not uncommon for women. I remember my uncle dated this girl for several months; she had a melt down after finding out her ex-husband/baby daddy was getting married and left my uncle.

Personally when women from my past get married, I don’t think much of it. I usually sever ties I have to them after the relationship is over, so it means nothing to me.
 
My first ex used some of the assets the state awarded her for divorcing me to pay for an extravagant wedding. <45>

If anything we need a relationship forum to clean up the berry
 
GF of 5 years in my late teens early 20's told me she had met someone else and was leaving. We had been having some issues but nothing I didn't think we could't work through. It was a few months before we both graduated college and she was headed to PT school that Fall. I thought she'd have a little Summer fling and maybe I would too then it'd work out again. I was still a dumbass in denial that she was moving on from me. We still kept in regular contact, we were friends first so it was always easy to talk and that didn't help. Then they got engaged within months. It hurt. A lot. The idea at the time that she could be that much happier with someone that wasn't me. The finality of it was what I needed though. I was young and stupid and thought she'd come back. I needed that closure that she was never going to. Haven't seen or talked to her in years and as far as I know they're still married. I sincerely hope she's happy and being married at 23 or 24, like I thought was gonna happen, is the best damn thing to never happen to me
 
This has happened to me twice in my life..

It's like having kids..

The first has you all emotionally messed up..

And the second one you could care less about.
