LookAtThisPOst Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I'm pretty close friends with some people in the Meetup and there was this very long term couple that we knew in our social circle. They were a rather nicely matched couple as they were older, attractive and athletic. Heavily into the outdoors. In fact, took trips out west for a week or 2, hiking the mountain trails. They had pics of impressive mountanous venues. Then, after 5 years, and shortly after their last week long trip out west together, she called it off. Wasn't mutual either. She ended things, abruptly. Someone had ask him if there was any chance of them of getting back together, and he was like "Nope." Later I had talked to her about it, and said that it was rather a surprised how nicely matched couple they were...all things considering. She said, "All I can see is that he's a great guy, but regardless of others thinking of how nicely matched we were, we really weren't and I'm pretty picky, too...catch you later." And that was that. Though I wanted ask, "You're pretty picky? Couldn't you have known that for at least a year and not 5 years into it?" LOL I'm not sure why she would say "I'm picky" after having getting involved with a man in a ltr for 5 years. You can't say that AFTER the fact, right?

I think she was being polite and gracious by not saying anything negative about him and by keeping their private life private. 3
Rejected Rosebud Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I imagine it was tough to be in a 5 year relationship and end it. Why is that any of your business? It's kind of shocking that you'd even ask that, much less question her response. 1
Author LookAtThisPOst Posted December 18, 2015 Author Posted December 18, 2015 It's kind of shocking that you'd even ask that, much less question her response. Not it isn't, why would it be shocking? She's a friend of mine, asking "Why'd you break up?" is pretty normal where I live if you're friends with said individual.
marky00 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 OP i agree.. That is nuts. She is a friend.. she gave you her reason and her reason STINKS. That makes no sense 5 years in.
