Royals My Engagement just got broken off but the Royals are 6-0! - Page 8

MTG#10 · 04-12-2015, 07:11 PM

So apparently its been building with her for a long time, but the final straw was that I wanted to watch the game today instead of going with her to some BBQ at one of her friends' house that I cant stand. Last night making her watch the game with me instead of our usual Sat night of watching movies might have had something to do with it as well.

No more than an hour after the game ended she came over and gave me her ring back and said "I cant do this anymore". I just stood there dumbfounded as I watched her walk to her car. Im sure its not just the baseball games, we've been fighting a lot the last few months about stupid shit but I guess this finally sent her over the edge.

I'm sure I'll be hurt by this tomorrow, but until then go Royals!

Can't believe she did you like this after you installed a bathroom fan in a closet so her mom could have an awesome smoking room.

My wife would be like kewl, enjoy the game. Whatever i want to do she is down for, be thankful you didn't marry her.

Can't argue with your priorities, they seem in order

My attorney gave me some very good advice about women.
He said "Women don't think like people".
The older I get the more right he was.

sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and tell yourself, "when in Rome..."

Oh yeah, sorry about that man...she ended up trading that in for a new car so I said F the brakes.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet. Better than before married...
If you're relationship hits 2 years of engagement without some outstanding life issue like waiting to finish college first then somebody had reservations.

Why do you make up.stories dude? This one isn't entertaining enough.

I'm saying this girl was looking to dump him. Today's event was simply the excuse for her to do what she's planning to do for some time.

Well duh. Seriously that was my very first thought.

I also don't see how he's the one looking like a moron when you're the one hooting and hollering like a 10 year old solely for the purpose of attention.

If you're so damned happy there chief, why is it everyday you come on this board craving attention like a hungry man craves food?

So being a realist makes one starving for attention? That's new

I went through something like this with my first engagement. Strung me along trying to change my preferences to hers, thought everything we did had to be together all the time. It went on until i realized I was miserable, had enough and called it off.
My wife seldom watches the Royals. I seldom miss a game. We're fine with it.
Figure out what's important to you - and watching sports seems to be - and make sure you are transparent about it with the next serious girlfriend. I'd avoid the stage 2 clinger who decides to like to Royals simply to seem appealing to you though. She'll eventually ruin your enjoyment of the sport.

The man admits it wasn't about baseball but some of you Neanderthals just hear ROYALS and all logic just flies out the window.

It's gotta be tough to know you're more immature than gochiefs.

Thus endeth the lesson. It is about the Royals. To see that would require also considering the man's point of view.
