Thank God I walked Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Hey all, I am a 28 year old girl who only a month ago was engaged to be married. We were together for two years and it seemed like bliss. It wasn't until recently that I started feeling like something wasn't right. I asked him specifically if something was different and he told me to stop being so paranoid. Well, that answer satisfied me for about 10 seconds... I started getting suspicious again and eventually broke into his email and found what I feared I would. I found emails between the two of them and they were explicit. They didn't sleep together, but they had an emotional affair with some kissing and what not. So, I packed my things while he was at school, and I left the ring and a note. That was it. He calls me daily crying and pleading but I gotta tell you... it hurt at first but I feel pretty damn good now. I am proud of myself that I fought through the urge to go back to him and instead I braved the single life. Now I am going out with my friends again and I am finding the old me. I wanted to post so that if there is someone out there debating leaving, I say, do it!
reservoirdog1 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 In a perverse way, he did you the biggest favour of your life. You got to find out who he really was BEFORE you married him, had kids with him, and wasted any time with him. I wish I'd been so lucky. You made the right decision. All the best to you!
whichwayisup Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I agree with resdog, 100%! And unfortunately for him, (or fortunately, if he can learn from his mistakes) he's learned a painful lesson, lost you and now he has to deal with the consquences of his actions. Good luck in life, I hope you find happiness with someone else when the time is right.
