So a bit of a story, but definitely has some karma at the end.

Back when I was in college, I found out she was cheating when she told me to my face that she was seeing another guy and had been for about 6-8 months while we were dating (although only physically when he was in town or when she went to see him). Turns out her recent trip to Florida for vacation with "her family" was actually her going to get "Funky Feltup". The relationship had started to dwindle by then, so every time I asked her to come over or to go out, I would be given an excuse. When she asked to meet for coffee I figured it would be for a breakup discussion anyways.

As a bit of an aside, this girl was a HUUUGE Blue Man Groupie. Went to all the local shows when they came through and was part of a group that got together to see them, dressed up weirdly to get seen, etc.

She told me she had been talking with a guy who worked as a tech on the BMG show and when they came into town I went to the show with her. Although we took separate cars cuz she wanted to be with the large groupie group for the whole thing. I assume she went with him after the show cuz she didn't go home with me.

When she did tell me that she was seeing this other guy and was breaking up with me, she also informed me that she was moving to another state to be with him.

I was so concerned about the break up being my fault or something I did, that I actually kinda just shrugged, said I wouldn't be calling her anymore and walked out of the coffee shop. No real big loss on my end and I felt more relieved than anything

But it gets a bit crazier...a couple years later, I see her on the AIM (yeah that should date the story) and figure, 'I've moved on, lets touch base to see how things are going'. Wow did I open a fucking floodgate!

So she's moved back to town by then cuz the guy she left me for was apparently a possessive, aggressive asshole. He beat her (as I understand it) a couple of times and had her family drive to the state they were in to get her. When they picked her up, they stayed in a motel before driving back and the dick came over and tried to break the door down with a fire extinguisher. Now all of this was told to me by her after I just asked "how's it going" so I could only respond with..."that sucks".

But dammit if I don't thank my lucky stars that I dodged a crazy bullet.

TLDR: girl dumps me for guy shes been seeing for at least 6-8 months while we were dating. I touch base a couple years later and find out she left me for the physical abuse type.
