mortensorchid Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Last night I went out to play trivia at a bar nearby. About a year and a half ago, I went to a MeetUp group and instantly connected with a bunch of people. It was crazy, we were obsessed for about the next year we were hitting games all across the city, then we lost our mojo. We had other things going on, one has since moved to another city, and the other two were a couple who broke up. I got an invite from one of the others in the bigger group to come out for another trivia night because I am great at trivia and they wanted to win, so I went. (And we won. Ha ha ha...) I bumped into one of the guys from the group who I had not seen since February. He came by to attempt to fix my computer from some virus, then to thank him I took him out to lunch. It was then that he told me he and his gf broke up. I said I was sorry to hear that. After he left that day, I went on Facebook and sent his former gf an email. I told her that he had told me today over lunch, wanted to say that I was sorry, but life goes on. No response. I thought "Ah well, we were not that tight to begin with. I made the gesture and that's alright." Today he and I had a Facebook chat and he said that his former gf was VERY ANGRY with him and me about my gesture. He said she chewed him out over his telling me that, accused him of cheating, etc. I apologized to him, saying that I had no idea of this and didn't mean to give him a hard time. He wasn't angry with me over it, he said that she is "exceptionally sensitive to the situation, especially since she initiated the split. And apparently, she is trying to get back with him. Even though he seems to have a new gf these days, who I met last night. And it's not me. I guess a good deed never goes unpunished.
ascendotum Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I thought the outcome was going to be that he had not broken up with his gf, and was just telling you he had because he was angling to get a bit of action on the side with you...but rereading, it would have way too risky if you knew his ex. He shoud have told his ex to go to STFU over her claim he was cheating & not wanting others to know she dumped him.
Author mortensorchid Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 I did know the gf from the game nights, but I have not seen her in a long time and doubt I will again. Since she did not lash out at me (or respond at all), I figured that was that. Next time I will keep my mouth shut. Again. Ha ha ha ...
