Rant it, hon'. I promise I won't deconstruct it or rip you apart.

Thankfully, I've never been proposed to in the true sense. I mean, I've been asked to be one's wife, but it was obviously nothing serious. Any mention of it scares me, so any man who really cares for me knows not to do that anytime soon.

However, for my potential hubby, listen: You're gonna stare straight into those beautiful eyes and see all of what you ever hoped for. You're gonna appreciate her and treat her right, so she'll never have to run away and hide from you and from ever marrying you.
[Eakers:] "aren't you only like 22 or am i confusing you with someone else?"

Eakers, you aren't mistaken. She's the one who provided us a link to her pic. And she had age 22 there and marital status as divorced. I am guessing she got married at an early age.

You are right eakers, I am only 22. I was engaged when I was in highschool. Then that was split when he decided that he couldn't wait for me to graduate and him to get out of the military. A year later I got pregnant, and tried doing the right thing and get married. Oh was I so wrong by doing that. 2 kids later I got a divorce. I was 17 when I got married. 7 months after my divorce was final, I was engaged again. 2 weeks before the wedding, he decided that I wasn't really the one, and that he was too old for me. Then I got involved with a guy a month after that ended, ended up moving in with him, and that didn't last, which ended just a few months ago. Now I am 22 with 3 engagements and 1 divorce under my belt. Like I said, I attract the wrong men, and don't see it until it is too late. I guess they are ok in thier own little ways, but they just didn't click for me. Especially now after losing my leg, I am more self dependant than anyone I know, and stubborn about it too.

CAN I GET A WTF!?!?

Wow! You've had it rough! Care to tell more? Your story sounds somewhat like my sister's.... whew, what a mess that was, but thankfully everything has turned out okay for her.

Rookie and anyone else who has suffered a big breakup like that, I feel for you. Please feel free to share any (further) details.... one man's painful experience can become another man's useful knowledge. /me pulls out my notebook

Skoorb, somehow I saw that coming...I think it is rant week.


Oh, where to start...

Should I start with the THOUSANDS of dollars I lent her to bail her out of HER troubles? Oh, that I will PROBABLY (read never) ever see again... Or I guess I could start with the WAAAYYYY too expensive engagement ring. Which I am still trying to sell for a HUGE loss, if anyone is interested PM me please. Then there was always her inability to communicate, and the way that when things got tough for me, which they rarely did, SHE still needed to be the one that was worse off...

JEEZ, did we date the same damn girl. Yikes. Sorry to hear that.
