Love of my life got married

[FancySomeChips]

On Saturday. tier 2.
I am broken.
Known him for 24 years, been friends, more than friends, boyfriend and girl friend (several times), and I guess I just always hoped deep down that we would end up together.
He didn’t even tell me he was engaged, we saw each other lots in the summer. A year ago he was asking me out but I had just split up with my ex and I didn’t want to add rebound status to our already tricky relationship.

Urgh why why why.

No idea why I’m posting, I think I just need to vent.

Use the new year to look for someone else (or just chill with your mates!) and you will be relieved in time that you are with someone 100% committed to you.

Years ago I went for drinks after work with a friend and we started talking about the 'one that got away.' I was single at the time - had been for ages, and really started feeling nostalgic for my uni boyfriend. Got on the tube, thinking about him, completely missed my stop by several stations and had to get another train back.

And there he was in the carriage, heading towards me, like fate in some Hollywood film, staggering handsome and clearly doing well for himself. He called my name. He looked so pleased to see me. We chatted and chatted. Then he asked who I was going out with. 'No one,' I said. His eyes narrowed. 'That's not possible,' he said. 'Really: who are you going out with, how long have you been with him?' And I remembered why we'd split up. He had always been insanely jealous and suspicious. I couldn't get off the train fast enough. I don't really believe in the one that got away now.

Ouch
I think you should block him and move on

That’s horrid of him not to tell you he was getting married - I wonder whether he’s hoping you’ll still be there should his marriage fail

Cry if you need to and talk it out with your friends but put an end to this relationship

There’s someone way better out there for you

He's not the love of your life.
