konfused Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 About 18 months ago I proposed to my girlfriend of 18 months. Our relationship was not perfect, but could have been. She literally laughed in my face and the next day stopped taking my calls. It was probably some sort of defense mechanism on her part but it hurt like hell. It took me a long time to get over her. I've dated other girls and thought a lot about my life since then. It is crazy what love can do to your psyche. Anyway, she got engaged to another man a few months after the proposal. I spent a lot of time being jealous because she moved on so quickly. Now that I look back I realize that people can't just STOP caring. It may happen over time or they may replace you but the feeling is still there regardless of who it is geared towards. So now I'm laughing because she made a decision as paramount as marriage when she was fresh out of a breakup. I think such decisions in times of crisis are emotionally immature. So guess who's laughing now. I'm not really laughing. I wish I could as some sort of payback for leaving me, but I can't. I'm actually sad for her and hope she picked a good man. After only three months its pretty much a crap shoot. I on the other hand found myself a perfect little pseudo-hippy. I like 'em hippy but not hairy.
magichands Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 She literally laughed in my face and the next day stopped taking my calls. Was the ring kind of underwhelming? Surely there is more to it than that?! That is just heartless.
trebon Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 If there was a relationship that was worth taking to marriage surely she woldnt have behaved in that way -laughing may have been a shock reaction but surely she would have apologized for it and been more sympathetic. - surely the relationship must have been faltering before this point? I cant believe anyone who cared about you would treat you like that even if it wasnt what she wanted.
Becoming Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Just a little clarification: no relationship can be perfect. Ever.
