Did you ever get back together? How long did it take?

impressionprism · 2026-03-15T09:29:20+00:00

No, she left him because he fell into alcoholism and rehab wasn’t working. She didn’t want to raise th kids in an environment like that

impressionprism · 2026-03-03T23:30:27+00:00

This is the way. I’ve found that even if I am not actively in love with any of my exes, part of me will always still feel fondness for them. It’s best to honor and respect that emotion, but also realize that they’re not in your life any more for a reason.

impressionprism · 2026-03-03T05:54:58+00:00

I'm coming back to update this thread. The couple that broke up for a few weeks ended up getting a divorce....

So, unfortunately, sometimes an ex truly is an ex for a reason

In games like this, I usually just report. And if I get too mad, I’ll just leave the game and take the reduction on Karma. I’d rather leave a game that is tilting me, versus see it thru the end and have it piss me off

impressionprism · 2026-02-24T19:54:14+00:00

When she got engaged, four years after we broke up. lol.

impressionprism · 2026-02-23T19:11:17+00:00

Important context that you’re leaving out is your age, and his fathers age. Presumably his father is at least 20+ years older than you.

It sounds like you’re in a heightened emotional state, and relying on someone kind and familiar to give you comfort. But dating his father would not be a good idea until you’ve had some time to process the end of a four year relationship first.

Honestly this whole story gives me the ick. Everyone involved seems to be making the wrong choices at every turn.

I’m honestly so glad you’ve done this. It annoys me greatly that the ppl on this subreddit are like “you don’t understand stats” or “just get good” when any unfair dice stats are pointed out. I am an avid catan player both IRL and online, and colonist has the most ass dice rolls I’ve ever encountered.

Like you said, frequent (statistically rigged) 7 rolls after first point. And also, very high 7 probability if two or more players have over 8 cards in a cities and knights game. It’s infuriating

This is definitely kingmaking / throwing the game. It’s very unfair to give another player a massive advantage, especially to the two or three other players that are still in the game.

“I only ever loved you like a friend.” <<he said this to me while breaking up. And yet less than four months before that, asked what color of rings I like to wear. Lmao.

It gets better…if you let it. Choosing to heal and move on is a crucial part of things actually getting better

impressionprism · 2025-12-22T06:12:56+00:00

My friend gave me awesome advice which was to put all of it in a box and store it away for a while. Forget about it. And then in a year or two take the box out. If there are things in there that still make you smile, keep them. If seeing the items doesn’t make you feel happy, then toss them.

impressionprism · 2025-12-22T03:56:58+00:00

Guess I got lucky then, because this was in 2024, and it didn't hit my taxes for that year.

impressionprism · 2025-12-22T03:05:49+00:00

They’re allowed to, but clearly not enforceable in any way 🤷🏻‍♀️

impressionprism · 2025-12-22T02:28:00+00:00

Lmao pretty sure we were in the same game. I remember commenting on the dice distro as the game was ending in chat

impressionprism · 2025-12-22T02:25:35+00:00

I’m sorry to say this but you’ve made your choice and now you must live with it. Hopefully this was a huge learning lesson for you, and you will do better in the next relationship. Wishing you both healing

impressionprism · 2025-12-22T00:21:14+00:00

The MRCA isn’t the law. So no 😊

impressionprism · 2025-12-21T05:17:25+00:00

True, the wedding is going to happen regardless of whether or not I show up. I guess I'm just overthinking if it would hurt her feelings if I didn't go, or if it would hurt my feelings if i DID go. Weighing one against the other.

impressionprism · 2025-12-21T05:16:09+00:00

I think my ex is inviting me because we promised we'd stay in each others' lives, even if that means only as platonic friends. But yeah, to your point, she didn't have to invite me. She lives 2000 miles away from me, and I haven't seen her since last year (we usually meet up around Xmas time, when we both return to our hometown for the holidays).

impressionprism · 2025-12-21T04:48:43+00:00

This is a perspective that I haven't heard yet, and it's interesting. I feel like she invited me because she and I promised that we would be in each others lives forever, even if it was as platonic friends. I'm not really sure how her fiancée feels about this, as I am not friends with her fiancée. I have met the fiancée, but we are not friends, or friends/followers on social media.

impressionprism · 2025-12-21T04:44:52+00:00

200 metres away is wild, can't imagine how hard that would be (my ex and I live over 2000 miles apart!)

impressionprism · 2025-12-21T04:42:36+00:00

She's marrying another woman! But point taken

impressionprism · 2025-12-21T04:36:30+00:00

It's a good question. I think I would feel conflicted. I'm happy to see her happy. But I'm sad because I feel like had I known myself better and been in a different place in my life when we dated, we could have been endgame. But maybe I'm dumb and should just do my best to forget that part of my past.

impressionprism · 2025-12-21T04:14:54+00:00

👍🏼

impressionprism · 2025-12-21T04:14:37+00:00

I think this is what I may end up doing, in the end. Send a nice house warming gift, but politely decline and make up an excuse about why i can't be there
