This. OP, much respect to you. 25 years ago a week before their wedding, my best friend's fiance tried a power play on him. Problem was, I was at his apartment when she called. I told him to stand his ground and hang up (the equivalent of "OK"). 45 minutes later (she was about 50 miles away), she burst through the door exhausted, huffing and puffing. I escorted him out the door to somewhere I can't remember and told him to be strong. Of course, the chump surrendered, married her anyway and messed up his life (IMO). She never forgave me and proceeded to cut me (and everyone else my friend knew prior to meeting her) out of his life.
I don't know why I'm interested in something that happened 25 years ago to a friend of a Clutchfans member, but I am. Are they still married? Tried to get in touch again?
She gave him an ultimatum (can't remember exactly what it was) and he refused to cave over the phone with me coaching him. I knew EXACTLY what she was doing. She expected him to give in and nearly died of a heart attack when he called her bluff. But when I was removed from the picture, he surrendered the next day and they got married the next Saturday as planned. It foreshadowed what their marriage would become. Truly disgraceful. She completely dominated him from that day forward. They are still married. He never returns my phone calls because boss-lady won't let him. I've spoken to him 6-7 times since when he called me needing something. It's so sad because we both came to Houston from Indy in 1986 and I was kind of his mentor. I remember early on he asked me what I thought of her, but it was too early to know anything. At that point, I decided he needed to start making his own decisions without my influence so I backed off some. After I knew enough to have an opinion, he wouldn't dare ask. It became obvious to me she was a disaster but people have to make their own decisions. I lost my best friend and never got him back.
this ho wants attention. but then again....we don't know your whole story with her, though (unless you provided here, i didn't read past the first page) this video is true for the most part after a break up. errbody wants to be a victim in a relationship <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Nx3iVbt4OrI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
My god, I wish I could go back in time and respond to a break-up that way. You, sir, are a legend. Well f--king done. Repped.
At least they're still married. That must count for something. He seems like a weak dude. I was expecting a horrible divorce story where he ended up ruined.
no it doesn't. that's exactly the problem, he's too weak to sever the tie. staying married in a one sided, horrible relationship is worse.
nicely done. my ex broke up with me over a text and i said thats fine. two weeks later, she sees me n wants to get back together. told her the first rodeo didnt work, no need to do it again. :grin:
