Yes break-ups are sad.
Sadder when one is found cheating on the other.
Hell, I'm not perfect, I've been on both ends.
Another sad story, a guy once broke down & told me.
It was going to be his 30th Wedding Anniversary coming up & unfortunately he was called o/seas on a business trip. Anyway on the night itself, his wife sent him his favourite bottle of wine to his hotel room & a card saying, "Happy 30th, Miss you & Love you heaps, Here's to another 30 years together blah blah blah." Suffice to say, it made his night being away from his wife, alone in a hotel room...
Two days later, he arrived back home to an empty house. All his wife's belongings were gone & a note saying that she's been having an affair behind his back for years & she's finally leaving him.
Go figure.
I'd like to thank the ones who've contributed. I've loosely followed this threat at school -- hence why I haven't been logged in -- and I've read every post.
I'd also like to give the middle finger to the people without any sense of empathy or morality, and I'll leave it at that.
I've been chatting with the guy, Peter, for hours and I'm sad to say that it hasn't gotten much better.
At he beginning he had hanging around her facebook, where she had updated her status to: "At the good-looking guy's place." So she wasn't really going to her parents house to think things over.
Yesterday she had sent him an SMS when he was at the gym, saying: "I'm going to go get my stuff at Wednesday, I'll take the cats."
I mean that the **** is wrong with this woman? Doesn't she realize that she has behaves like a total whore?
Because cheating on your partner can be justified as the right course of action, am I following you correctly?
Mainly due to school, but I've also been chatting with Peter.
You have a history of being rude in here, so you really shouldn't cry now. Very poor form.
Well, tell Peter to look on the bright-side, seems she didn't leave him cos he can't handle himself in a fight, but because the other is better looking; that's something he can't control.
Its just far more fun having sex with thousands of women than being stuck with one woman.
of course im going to use protection though. i dont need to ever get married. atleast untill im old enough to want a family

Well, this is the internet, so you shouldn't be terribly surprised. And what you're talking about is unfortunate but isn't particularly tragic as these things go. It happens. Hell, it's happened to me. Not in as dramatic a fashion, granted, but a long-time gf ditched me and was with a guy the next week that she had been friends with (and quite possibly "friends" with all the implications of the quotations). They were engaged less than 2 months later. And you know what I did? I got upset for a little while, then got over it maybe 2 weeks later and moved on, because I'm an adult with a sense of perspective.
So some of the sarcasm is because of that, and also because, if she keeps laying on with overtly "evil" actions, it should actually make it easier for your friend to eventually be like "Huh. Bullet dodged, I guess."
Of course not, that's not a fair question. The "two sides to every story" is particularly true in many relationships. Her side likely doesn't vindicate her actions, in fact it almost certainly doesn't, but it might also provide some rationale or insight into the reasons behind it. And the people who are least likely to be unbiased about interpreting events are those closest to it. That's all that's being said.
Who is this in response to? Who do you imagine is interested in this?
It's not even the "thousand women" comment that baffles me. Needless internet posturing has been around since I was running through text-based MUD's (my favorite old-school reference). But it's how out of context his posts seem.
No, that would be a strawman. That's neither stated nor implied in my post.
But, to directly address what you stated: both would be at fault. There are definitely two sides. He seems like he might be overbearing and emotionally abusive.
That's not very aggressive, at all. It would appear that the gent was just responding to being physically accosted. Was he not pushed first? I would say his reaction was quite calm.
