One of my closest friends just let me know today that her fiance had broken things off earlier this week. She's doing surprisingly well, but could still use smoke/prayer. Seems every time in her life things seem to be looking slightly up, she gets pushed back down hard. :( Been through a lot more than I have in my life, even though I'm several years older.

As always, thanks guys. :)
 
ept?

You ask, you get.

She doesn't wanna hear it, but before the marraige is the time to get un-married.
 
Prayers from Atlanta.
 
I agree kismet, but I'm not going to be one to tell her that. Would either get hit or start her crying, not sure which would be worst. ;)

And while I prefer this to seeing her going through bad marrtiage and worse divorce, prefer to see neither. She deserves something good in her life for once, and I thought this was going to be it. C'est la vie, but I don't like it.
 
There's absolutely nothing you can say to her to make the pain go away. Just listen and keep a box of tissues handy. If she's not crying that's a bad thing............do take that into consideration. Really. Sometimes a hot fudge sundae is in order, too, or for the dieter a nice hot cup of Jasmine Tea. We can say this too shall pass, but don't bother, she'll see it in time. Sometimes life just sucks............hard.:(
 
Prayers sent.

... but, echoing what Kismet said. Been there, done that. The scars have healed.

About 20 years ago I didn't listen carefully enough to my fiancee's pre-wedding hesitation. 3 days after the wedding ... "I don't think I want to be married." 8 months of godawful pain later, it was all done.

Your friend's Much Better Off finding out now, rather than later.

Hey Tom.......life goes on. Hate to say it, Tomorrow's an other day and another challenge. Dun look back.

I may have to embrace a total change of life style and it's quite uneasing to say at least.

Oh yeah - a lot of water under the bridge since. It was a good thing that marriage ended, and I'm glad that my current spouse is mother of my 3 amazing kids.

But it would have been much better had that first "marriage" ended before it began - as in the thread-opening post. The woman from my past and I were fantastic as boyfriend/girlfriend, and it should have stayed at that.
