Ok, so it\'s not exactly MY lovelife, but check this out.
For those of you who read my gargantuan post, the following chick is the one that I broke up with during my first freshman semester.
For everybody else: I broke up with her after about a year and a half due to long-distance complications. She is a year younger than I.
Ok, so through highschool, I was part of a 6-person group, including my ex. We were all good friends, my ex and this other guy during 3rd year were really close. My ex and I were excellent friends too, and our friendship grew closer when the other guy turned into a total dick (possibly because of the closeness of the chick and I). When we were together, he basically contributed to countless battles of highschool politics and other such bullshit that plauged my relationship with her. In any case, we went along our merry way, and when I broke up with her over a year later, BEFORE I got off the phone with her, she rebounded on the other guy.
Fast forward to today:
So I just talked to her online, and as it turns out: they are slated to get married. No shit. They\'ve bought and traded rings, started making plans, the whole shebang (except for telling the parents.. wtf!?). Shes 18, he is 19, both still live at home and are attending their first semesters at an entry-level community college. They decided to get married something like 4 months after they started going out (the day I broke up with her). She got offended when I told her I was \"skeptical\" of the whole thing (I cited age, their lack of experience in life, potential for the both of them to change, etc), and told me that I didn\'t know what their relationship was like. I\'m glad I don\'t, either.
Ah, well. It doesn\'t surprise me: shes as naive as they come and has serious dependency issues, and he has the social and relationship skills of a 3 year old on prison-quality meth.
I was surprised at how indifferent I was to the whole thing, but still feel a little silly: wtf were her feelings for me like if she can be so instantly committed to a guy who, in the past, has proven that he doesn\'t really care for anybody but himself.
