Let's be thankful!

[KMS]

This weekend I was reminded of how fortunate all of us on this site are. Some of us are enjoying planning our weddings and some of us are already happily married.

I've been planning my wedding along with my MOH who was supposed to be getting married in November. This past week (yes the week of Valentine's Day!) her fiance left. Friday FH and I went and helped her pack up all of his things. Yesterday I was there holding her on the couch while she was sobbing, watching him grab his things go.

It just reminded me to be very very thankful of the amazing person that I was somehow lucky enough to find.

Wow, sorry for your friend. But there must have been some problem in their relationship, so it is probably better that it be over now before they got married. I'm sure it still hurts though, good for you to be there for her.

I am always so thankful for my DH and the wonderful relationship we have :wub: I wish everyone could find their perfect partner and have the wonderful relationship that we all want and deserve :frogg:

That's harsh, and I'm sorry to your MOH too. I think you did a great thing as a friend, she needs you.

I like Brandi think the same thing too, there must have been something and they should be thankful that they decided to call it quits before getting married and having to go through a divorce, but this is still hard none the less, I"m so sorry. I wish her much strength in her tme of need.

That is such a horrible thing to happen on Valentines week. My ex left me the weekend before Valentines...and contrary to popular thinking, I didn't know there was anything wrong with our relationship. 2 years later, and I still can't tell you what happened. The only good thing is...I'm so very happy with my FH...and My Ex IS MISERABLE!! So, please, tell your friend to hang in there. There might be a much better person coming into her life.

You are being a wonderful friend by just being with her as she cries. I know that really really helped me when people would just listen and not judge. I'll be praying for both of you.

I can't even imagine how heartbreaking that must be. It's nice she has a good friend like you. This is a slightly cheesy quote. but I use it all the time.

Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.

And we are a bunch of lucky girls to have our wonderful men in our lives! And eachother!

[KMS]

Ya know, she really doesn't know what happened. She just kept on saying "I had no doubt in my mind that he was the one". She didn't see any of this coming...maybe down the road she'll look back and realize what was happening. They say hindsight is 20/20 and usually that's pretty true.

The relationship that she had before this was pretty serious and it also ended badly. He's now dating somebody named William. Yes. Poor girl. She's going to have some major issues.

Oh and I couldn't imagine not being there for her! We've the best of friends since we were in 2nd grade. We're not as close as we used to be since we've graduated high school, but we'll always have a strong bond.

Maybe this one has someone else on the side too, and I still stand by what I said that it is better she went through this now...then after being married. I still feel terriable for her, we should send out a OW posse armed with chairs...:chair: ....and maybe some of this too---> :boxing:!!! We'll teach him!! :jpboxer:

[KMS]

Yeah, my FH thinks that he's seeing somebody else. I wouldn't be at all surprised.

I know that she's better off. She does too. It will just take a while for her to see it that way!

He's a black belt in karate...it would definately take the entire OW posse! Start pooling the $$$ for plane tickets! :D

[WhiskeyGirl]

Yeah some men are such pigs. And even though he's a black belt, ya don't mess with the OW posse! ;) We'll take him down!! :D

[ger]

And when we're done with him...he'll know what hit him...black belt or not!! LOL

[Jacklynn]

I'm sorry to hear that! I am very thankful :)

Sorry to hear this about your MOH. But like other's have mentioned it is for the best that it happened sooner than later. I'm sure there have been signs in the relationship, but at times we get so caught up in our daily lives. That it hits us when we don't expect it. I am glad to hear that she has a great friend like you to build her up and move her on. She will find her night in shining armor one of these times. Sometimes people just have to go through hell before they find him. I wish her all the best.

I have been in her situation before...not as far as being engaged and it happening, but I was in a serious relationship (or so I thought) and one day he just said he had to go..come to find out...he had a few other girls. It's a very saddening, and depressing thing to have to go through, especially this early in life. I actually had to go to therapy, and was put on medication to deal with it. It does take time (mine took 2 years), but in the end she will realize that she is better off, and NOONE deserves to be treated like that!
It will come back to him 10fold some day, and when it does, he will know EXACTLY what it feels like! :eureka:
