No. He's got a crappy factory job and she works for barely above minumum wage. She was just desperate to get married. I wasn't so I dropped her. He was dumb enough to ask her, so he got what he deserved.

I've got one from earlier this year. Kind of a real screwed up situation.
My best friend up until awhile ago was my friend Julie. We were pretty close and everything, but that was the extent of it. No dating, no relationship, nothing like that. I end up meeting one of her friends, Audrey, and start dating her. So everything is going great there, but I keep getting these vibes from her like something is bothering her all the time. It turns out that she's nervous about me and Julie. See, anytime something was wrong with Julie I'm the first person she'd come to about it and apparently Audrey felt intimidated or threatened or whatever. Keep in mind over the course of the next couple of months that this would get worse and worse.
SO, one day this spring Audrey calls and wants to do something but I just really didn't want to. So I tell her maybe later in the week and blah blah. Well 2 hours later Julie calls me. She always participates in these poetry slam things (I know, I think they are kind of lame but they mean a lot to her) and her ex-boyfriend is at this one and he's being more or less.....himself. Which knowing him means he's being a bitch. So Julie calls me and is literally begging me to come down to the Slam and hang with her so she could get away from him. After repeatedly saying "no, dont want to....dont want to....dont want to..." she finally sounds like she's getting really upset. So I figure "Fine, it's 5 minutes from my house, just go and bail her out."
So everything is all good.....until it turns out that Audrey's best friend is there as well. See where this is going yet?
Blah blah, YOU LIED!, blah blah, irrational jealousy, blah blah, you really want her don't you?
So I ended up at least in her eyes looking like the jerk in this ordeal. And that ended that.

You're a better friend than me. No way I'd ever ditch a girl to hang out with a bunch of dudes.

A little over a month ago, I had a date with a girl which I cancelled to help out a colleague, who's wife was in the hospital. I'm sure she didn't appreciate that, despite me explaining the situation and her claiming that she was fine with it.
When we did go out a few days later, she was distant and avoided physical contact pretty much.
I'm working on a collosal blunder right now. I might need to vent when I know the extent of it. Which will probably be by the end of the weekend.

After all, are the fellas gonna tell you they "got a headache" when you invite them over to watch wrestling? Doubtful. Women, on the other hand.....you get while the gettin's good. ;D Plus, I'm just a damn heel. I sell out my friends to get the girl.

Just remember who's shoulder you need to cry on when the girl (inevitably) screws you over.

breaking plans off with a girl for football is completely unacceptable. breaking plans off with a girl for hockey, however....

This is not that bad, but do people really use the terms "boyfriend/girlfriend" after one date?
