Lovers don't ask you to take out the garbage.
Lovers aren't needing your help with the kids.
Lovers aren't asking you to pay the cable bill.
Lovers aren't forcing you to go to their parent's house on Sunday.
Lovers don't tell you to pick up your socks.
Lovers don't drape their underwear on the rail of the shower curtain.
Lovers don't nag you, for the fourth time today, to mow the grass already.
Lovers don't roll over and turn out the light because they're not in the mood.
Lovers don't do any of those things. No, they are always ready to go and always into you. They are less a living, breathing person than an embodiment of what love should be, an idealized image where nothing goes wrong, no one disagrees, and it's just rainbows, butterflies, and unicorns at all times.
So when your acquaintance encountered trouble in his life, he looked at this other person and saw nothing but beauty and life, with him at the center of it all. He really needs to be disabused of this fantasy and understand that the world will continue spinning on its axis and that his troubles will multiply, not divide, if he goes through with this.
He's not my "acquaintance", he's family. But I agree. He is taking the easy road to a new trouble-free life, and leaving his devastated family to deal with the aftermath. It's not going to be pretty when I see him.
Just as long as you realize nothing you could say to him would make much of a dent right now.
Later he'll be in a world of hurt when he realizes how he's nuked his life
I know that. I'm not going there for him. I am going because SHE just had surgery and is home for two weeks, unable to do much of anything. And THIS Is the time he has chosen to tell the kids, and leave. He is a ***** in my book.
People I dated more than 20 years ago? No...lol
The ONLY time I ever think of them is when one of these types of threads pops up.
I have no idea where they are now and I can't say I'm even curious about what they are doing in their lives currently. If one of them contacted me I'd have a good laugh, because 20+yrs later, I'm sure I'm not even a blip on their radar either.
I didn't even like them that much back then...there was no "love" until I met my husband.
Well, he always said that his wife was the love of his life. So apparently you can't count on anything not changing.

Like I said, he has nuked his own life but just doesn't realize it yet - pity him.
She is very lucky to have you and I know appreciates you showing up right now.
There is no spouse or SO, nor WILL there be, so my answer must be no, by default.
Ex's are ex's for a reason. Last girlfriend? Decided she couldn't live without being close enough to her family to be able to drive there in an afternoon. Ex wife? Yah, maybe we won't get into that today. FB between the wife and gf? She was there to scratch an itch. Even my friend's sister, who I would have wifed up if she hadn't been such a party girl back in the day, I wouldn't want anything to do with now.
If someone isn't a part of my life, there is a reason for it. This applies to people other than ex's, too.

This is why I don't really play into that "love the one you're with" bs.. It's one of the saddest songs I've heard disguised under an upbeat tempo to create an illusion of happiness....lol, I digress.... // As for your family, not much you can do but show your love & support. These things happen...The only thing constant in life IS change.. Roll with it and stay positive +
I've never really cared for anyone so this doesn't apply for me.
Yeah, but you're 17. It's not as if you know anything yet.
