sedgwick Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) I was just thinking about the fact that I've left someone for someone else three times in my dating life (which is 20+ years.) Every single time, the new relationship has failed. EVERY. TIME. And every time I've looked back and realized what I lost -- with the exception of one guy who was insanely jealous and possessive. But for sure he cared more about me than the guy I left him for. The way it's turned out with the guys I left: two of them are two of my best friends on the planet. That didn't happen right away, but eventually they forgave me and came back into my life as friends. I've had these friendships for many years now. With the other one, I ran screaming, but we were only 19 at the time. Now that we're 36, we've very recently begun talking again, and though I wouldn't want him in my life as a close friend, it is good to be in touch. So rest assured that, at least in my personal experience, the one they leave you for won't work out. Every time I did it it was because I found someone more "exciting." Well, the exciting ones are often crazy, and they're usually VERY self-centered as well. Edited February 12, 2008 by sedgwick
Haohmaru Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Because of Jane and Daisies, I have remembered why I dedicated myself to becoming that "Exciting" guy who's gonna steal all your girls, and then dump them. Cruel world. Deal.
SarahT111 Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Hey thanks for that! Im still tortued over my ex leaving me for someone else when I did so much for him and loved him with all my heart! Its so good to hear maybe he will get what he deserves!
oh_what_am_I_doing Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 You know, now that you mention it, I've had similar situations in my life. In college I was with this total jerk for three years, and I broke up with him for someone not much better (a total player). That relationship lasted 6 months. Later, after college I was with Mr. Nice Guy for 4 years- great guy but dead end relationship. I left him for a guy I met while getting my masters, and this was another dead end relationship, however he wasn't nearly as nice! Finally I met my husband when I was single, pure and simple. That's the best way!
realgone Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 i'm right in the middle of this. the exgf left and within 3 weeks is with another guy - total narcissist, pot-head, videogame addict loser (and former friend/aquaintance of mine). i just can't figure out what would be more amusing, their relationship imploding in the near future, or her trying to make it last out of stubborness and pride. either way, i think i'll win on this one.

Cruel world. Deal. You might try waving a big red flag around - or better yet, get one as a tattoo. Then when they ask you about it say "Cuz I'm dangerous, baby!" You'll get loads of action. Stay safe - wouldn't want anything to rot off.

We were so cool, now we're not...oh well, that's the battle of the sexes, huh? Thanks for the tips on how to get action and stay away from STDs. I'll be sure to do that before I come to your hometown to seduce you.
CalamitousJane Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Actually I dig you, Haohmaru. Just messin with you cuz I think you're cute.
Haohmaru Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Another bit of sarcasm...for how wouldst thou know of my level of cuteness without a picture... I actually am cute. My mom says so. And all the girls on the cheerleading squad. I actually like bookworms.
