In this situation, I recommend that one remind oneself of the current divorce rate and the percentage of americans acctually in happy marriages.jaguarr said:
That sucked! They didn't even think that it would bother me. It was totally unexpected. They must of told her soon after I got there, because as I was leaving their house, the grand-ma to be (who had been crying) gave me a hug and whispered, "I really wish you were the dad". I replied, "Yeah, me too." They never got married, but I think they are still together. The real sad thing is that when the baby was younger (2-3) I would spend more time with her than her own dad would.
Spidey Rules 2 said:Here's a similar story. I broke up with a girl I dated for two years because she started cheating on me. Now on her defense, I had already left town for a year (I joined the Navy) and would come home for a couple of weeks every six months. We did the letter writing and phone calling almost everyday, in any case, it was not enough.
A couple of years later her brother asked me to be his kids godfather. I said yes since I was still in contact with her family (I was also still friends with her too). So one time I go home to visit my goddaugher who was upstairs with her parents while my ex was down stairs with the new boyfriend and her mom. My goddaugher's parents were talking to each other while I was visitng my goddaugher and I heard, "Have they told her?" "No, I don't think so" So I ask, "what are you guys talking about?" "Oh", one replies, "Rachel (my ex-) is pregnant and they are telling her mom".
For a second there I thought that said "I really wish you were dead"Spidey Rules 2 said:Here's a similar story. I broke up with a girl I dated for two years because she started cheating on me.

I guess it pays to be first! 
Spidey Rules 2 said:Yeah, sure does and you'd think it would all end there, right? Wrong. I still see my goddaughter and if it's a birthday (or sporting event), my ex- is there as well, along with her boyfriend. My wife isn't very pleased. I last dated this girl when I was 19, I'm 36 now and I still get sh-t about it from my wife. The only good thing about all this is that it does bother him (the boyfriend) whenever he sees me.
Hey Erzengel, are you sure it's your ex-? It could be someone else with the same name.
well you weren't married when that happened, right?jaguarr said:Nahhh. If I'd have married that girl I never would have met the woman who is now my wife and SHE is definitely the one for me.

Please tell me that it's not Wanda from Wakanda? 
Erzengel said:I just stumbled upon a newspaper that said my first girlfriend just applied for a marriage license.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for her and there are no feelings of loss or forelorn love. I haven't talked to her in years but it just feels really weird. It's hard to explain and I don't even know why I'm posting this.
