Thanks everyone.
Good luck, hope she’ll turn around for you.
Yup…
It would be so much more helpful if an actual woman would say a thing or two about Shadow’s situation from a female point of view. For example, if there is an actual chance that she might come around and reconsider, or if there’s not.
Now, on to earning back those ~300 euros for the ring.
Better keep that ring for the next girl.
I know. But that’s ~300 euros spend. That’s about half of my money. yes I’m poor.
Wait, you two are now broken up? That sucks even more.
Golly, nobody saw that coming. That sucks, do hang in there Mr.Shadow, a lot more fish in the ocean, etc.
fucking pessimist people, how do they work
Unfortunately, no is always a possibility whenever yes is also a possibility 
The problem with pessimism is when it impeaches you from moving. And don’t count on pessimism always to be right. For instance, Bolteh was saying this was going to be a disaster, with a marriage that only lasts a few months. However, he simply got a no. Anyone can receive a no as an answer, otherwise, why bother to ask?
You have to analyze all possibilities, and measure them. Keep in mind that both sides of the balance have a possibility to happen. But don’t make the mistake of only analyzing which side has greater probability, you also need to measure the benefit and cost of each outcome.
Just considering the worst or the best side of the balance helps as much as closing your eyes in the middle of a gunfire.
Yeah. It sucks balls.
My prediction was that the entire concept was heading for disaster (or simply "fail, if “disaster” weighs too much) in some way or the other, either by a “simple no”, or by a divorce, or by a canceled wedding, or by a cheating girlfriend.
If they were together for four years, and she didn’t cheat on him last month, I would’ve agreed with the “pop the question” audience. But nope, she cheated on him last month, he foolishly believed that everything was fine the moment she admitted it, he foolishly thought that an engagement would bind her to him for some reason. All of this adds up to a simple conclusion: destined to fail.
So yes, sorry for being the only one, or at least one of the few that tried to make him open his eyes rather than steer him straight to that brick wall.
[COLOR=‘Black’]All of this, of course, is under the assumption that everything he said is the truth. Especially the part where he took merely 2 hours for a “romantic” walk on the beach for a sunset that wasn’t there yet (at around 18:00, sun was just starting to set at 19:00), popped the question, rushed back home to post on a forum that she said yes (just to retract that statement 8 hours later).[/SIZE]
If anyone wonders where I am, I’m in the bar being depressed/drinking.
I wasn’t.
I agreed with Bolteh (weird, I know), this was a mistake from the beginning. You should have waited to see if she really was interested in marrying you. She cheated on you and you simply forgot that and pretended it never happened. But if she cheated on you, regardless if she told you or not, there was obviously a problem…and still is, apparently. Hindsight is 20/20, eh?
At least you’ll be stronger next time and know what to do or not to do.
Yes, fail fits much better than disaster in this case. But, in my opinion, a no doesn’t make his choice wrong at all, a divorce or a cheating wife is way worse. Like I said, anyone, even in the best situation, can get a no. If he got a no now and she broke up with him, I have no reasons to believe her opinion would not change one year from now.
I think what Mr. Shadow was looking for is the answer to the simple question: “Do you still love me to the point to marry me or not?” and, for that matter, the only failure would be if she had lied in her answer.
Now, a relationship where one loves the other while the other only feels remorse for the first one is doomed to fail, it doesn’t matter how much time you decide to wait. The faster it fails, the sooner you can get over it and find someone else.
The best outcome in the given circumstances.
I am sorry but I am missing a big piece of the puzzle. I thought she said yes, and now you guys are broken up? What… did she come back a day later and say “naw… I change my mind”. What did she change her mind on? She doesnt wanna be engaged yet but still wants to be with you? She doesnt wanna be engaged AND she doesnt wanna be with you?
She said she said yes out of remorse. And that’s she was gonna leave me.
