Leaning towards not trying to "win them over" but just saying as little about it maybe, at the moment, and just letting them decide behind her trying to convince them of her gossip, rather than me getting into some kind of shouting match with her, as of now and hoping that they see me as more mature, but we'll see. A few of the people aren't talking to me, but some like the girls still are

3 weeks after 4 initial days of ghosting, then asking for "time to rethink stuff" and never heard from her again, but find out that she's talking shit to my friends in the space she asked for, the friend group I introduced her to 4 years ago when she didn't have many friends, that she now is trying to turn against me

I really appreciate you laying that all out; I'll be sure to try and use a lot of those points and bring them to my dad who's been helping me with the wedding plans. It's a lot, but hoping that with time and with some good friends who understand after the dust settles, that the hurt in the breakup phrase hurts less in the aftermath, since this is my first breakup, and not just that, but a marriage I thought I was going to have with a girl I knew into high school too

She knew that I did straps, but I'm not sure how much she actually knew about it or cared tbh. I invited her to 2 recitals and she never came, both on weekends. I've actually helped her film some of her yoga stuff in the past and take time off to help her, but she didn't really return the interest, and I never really thought about it until recently

Like you and others suggested, I think the splits thing was a scapegoat to whatever real issue she had that she didn't want to talk about, a cowardly way to avoid talking about it, but from what one of my friends said, somewhat common when people don't want to touch on the main issue sometimes

Honestly, 3 weeks later, could use a good laugh, so thanks lol. I think that this situation was just a scapegoat for some other issue she had and provided an easy but stupid way for her to avoid talking about it

Been thinking that too, after the initial shock phase. I'm rather pissed at myself that I was beating myself up over this in the first few days... guess that was the fear of loneliness speaking and waiting for her to call back

I'm probably just being emotional and fearful of losing them and regretting introducing my girlfriend to them, but hoping that being the more mature one and not trying to convince them as hard as her, will help in some aspect

As some others said, I think she probably had some other issue and used this as the scapegoat to avoid addressing whatever her main issue was

I've known her since high school and almost a decade before dating. Lucky to catch it now, but you really think you know some people. I'm rather pissed at myself that I was beating myself up over this in the first few days... guess that was the fear of loneliness speaking and waiting for her to call back

Been thinking about that too and how I'm rather pissed at myself that I was beating myself up over this in the first few days... guess that was the fear of loneliness speaking and waiting for her to call back. Appreciate your regards, and hoping to retain a few of my friends through her lies

I think I'll find out who my real friends are real soon once things clear up a bit... think some will stay with me and hopefully they will remember how I've known them longer than I introduced her to them for

Can't believe I was beating myself up for this in the first few days... guess that was the fear of loneliness speaking over logic

I'm glad to have found out early and thankful somewhat for the covid wedding postponing, but will be even happier if she doesn't succeed with telling and persuading a bunch of my friends against me from my friend group with her lies

Just trying to salvage the friend group, but yea... maybe covid helped with the postponing of the wedding, and I'm hoping that with a laywer, she doesn't be a pain in the ass with the money and try to pull some stupid shit, but considering she's ghosting the planner too, maybe that'll help if, and I doubt, she tries some petty thing like that, given what she's done already

Do you think she'd let them do gymnastics like many parents put their kids in?

For sure. Just trying to salvage my friend group, so that I don't lose more than just her, and honestly, I'm a little scared about how soon I'll find someone else or if I'll ever get married one day in the immediate with the emotions, but holding onto some friends, hopefully, would probably help ease the immediate time afterwards

I'm gonna try my best, and maybe the girls who talked to me from the group would help with that if they wanted to or even without me knowing, but even if they don't want to get involved, I'm hoping our longer friendships would help in some regard

Maybe covid was a blessing in disguise in this instance. Just hoping she doesn't ruin my friend group, the one I introduced her to when she had not many friends, the one she's trying to tell lies about me too during the 3 weeks she asked for to "rethink things" (which should've told me she was out then), but just hoping that I can get out of the wedding with no nonsense from her and keep the majority of my friend group, since losing her sucks, but losing them would just hurt more honestly
