Mine was my Ex girlfriend of 8 1/2 years giving me a ultimatum in marrying her or were Done for good bc she was the type of person that once she brakes up with someone, there's no going back. Well, I lived in Los Angeles, CA at the time and after getting laid off my last job in Cali, I was able to rebound and get another job offer, but it wasnt the best job as it was working with Enterprise as there Management Trainee Position and the pay was pretty bad. So, My X was putting alot of pressure on me to marry her bc she was NOT a US Citizen and she graduated college on May 16, 2009 and was "Tired" of waiting. Long story short, my job offer was taken back bc I didnt come in to sgn the offer sheet bc I was stressed out dealing with my X. Well, she breaks up with me over the phone in March 09, I kept calling her to get her back and telling her I would move back to Houston if only we would get back together and make things work out between us. I told her if I was going to be "Single" I want to live in Los Angeles, CA bc its an awesome place to be for guys. The woman there are unbelievable. In summary my 2009, WTF moment came when she agreed and I moved back to Houston in April 2009 and she kept giving me that ultimatum and I go to her actual graduation, party and then decided to go visit my grandparents out of the country for 3 weeks and she begs me not to go. I didnt listen and she broke up with me in June 09 and I go online and do a background check on her since something just didnt add up to her Complete 360 change of behavior after being with someone for 8 1/ years only to find out SHE WAS MARRIED TO HER BEST GUY FRIEND 1 MONTH AFTER OUR OFFICIAL BREAK UP. And now they have an apartment and live together. This guy was in me, my X's and entire group of friends circle of over 9 years. OUCH!!!!!! I was her first so this was soooo hard to take in. So, now Im still unemployed, living at home with my parents and I will be turning 29 soon. I am still in recovery mode.
Sorry to hear all that. Perhaps she had rights to push things, her biological clock and all. Maybe 8.5 years is too much waiting. Still...it seems in a lot of instances where the ultimatums start getting ramped up, there's already a back-up plan in mind. You DID move states over to work it out. Visiting your grandparents is not a bad thing. Its not like you were stalling (were you...?) A good thing you didnt agree. Cuz after marriage you mighta still gotten brow beaten by her to have kids and such, and had that other guy secretly undermining things.
Well let's see, we lost our child in January and had a miscarriage in October. Other than that, it's really been a FABULOUS year. Suffice to say, 2009 can kiss my black ass.
Man, apparently 2009 sucked balls for everyone. I did a lot of growing this year. Both professionally and personally, but it was mostly because of a lot of really crappy things that happened. So... I'm really happy I'm on the *other* side of it now, but 80% of this year was awful. And to those wondering about my story with the girl. I have two other stories, all of which happened in the last year. I got royally screwed over by women this year. I may make a thread about it later. But honestly, I don't really feel like rehashing it, other than to get a few laughs from the cutting comments some of you smart-asses out there would most assuredly make.
Condolences, ima. Thank goodness I only lost my job and all my savings. My kids are the only thing keeping me going.
After having a healthy first 39 years of my life, in May I went to the ER with apendicitis. Knowing that it is not too serios of an operation, my wife and I were making little jokes in the ER room, try to keep things light. Then the doctor comes in and tells me that after looking at my CT scan, there is a spot on my left kidney and he and the radiologist agreed it was renal cell carcinoma, cancer. A surgery in May, an 8 hour surgery in June and a 7 hour surgery last month, and a half of my kidney gone, I am a cancer survivor. I also was laid off in July, so I am ready for 2010 and to be 40. The number 9 has always been my favorite number, but now, I may rethink that, 2009, I am 39 and two of my surgeries were on the 9th. But I am blessed to be alive.
Mine started in 2008. Got laid off towards the end of the year. Got a temporary job for a month in feb. Then a full time job in March 2009 and was very excited. Collected easy paychecks for a month in training but then the job started and had a crappy schedule(was missing Rockets playoffs!). The job started to get real stressful for me so I decided to quit after 3 months. The pay was great but it was gonna kill me at 25yrs old, and it was the first job I had ever quit. Now I'm at a 8-5 mon-fri job, definitely not stressful, but the pay is not as good. The way the economy is like right now I'm happy to at least have a job and hoping that 2010 can get me a promotion if not then a better job.
Well 2009 was a roller coaster for me. The good is that I lost over 60 pounds but the bad was a lawsuit my parents had to go through.
Definately it is my Father passing away of a massive heart-attack in October. He was only 48. I was going to pick him up to head up the the Texans/Niners game and I found him in his living room, he went in peace while sleeping so I guess I should be thankful for that, but the holidays have been rough to say the least. Wish he could have been here for my son's (6 months old) first Christmas, but I know he is still going to be a part of it in spirit, I truely believe that.
I think 2009 was a fairly good year for me. The first year in a while where I didn't end up in the hospital for a week due to something or another. Probably the biggest event, if not a WTF moment, was the fact that it's finally the year where my parents divorced at last and I ended up burning bridges with almost everyone in my family, which frankly I enjoyed quite a bit. Been a good year for me - progressed through another year of college by myself, crashed with friends over summer, worked at various jobs (oil refinery was the most interesting) and saw new things.
Uh, wow guys. I am very sorry for all the bad crap you all have been through. Here's an early New Years Wish for you. May 2010 be the best year so far and all the years after better than that!
i hated 2009 i've never been in legal trouble until this year, now i'm just ready for 2k10... there was also something life changing that happened to me a few days ago so this year also ended ****ty..
Sorry but that's more of a FML moment than a WTF moment. I think that's shady that she got married to her best guy friend so soon after your relationship with her ended but c'mon dude: 1. She was with you for almost 9 years 2. She, from the story, seem to have stuck with you even when you were unemployed 3. She gave you ANOTHER chance after you begged and pleaded and gave her a gem of a reasoning by saying if you were single you'd have all these women in LA 4. She moved back to Houston to give you said chance and asked you again because you told her you wanted to work things out. I'm sorry but you ****ed yourself over.
