Its not a waste of time. How can experience be a waste? I'm sure they had some great times together. But those times have clearly past now.

I really don't understand this kind of mentality. Suggesting that the past is a waste indicates that you don't know how to live in the present.

THANK YOU!!!

To be fair, I've experienced a LOT of shite over the years that have been extraordinary wastes of time.

This thread, for example.

Any sincere advice or words of wisdom are appreciated.

Try this out on her:

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Oh … and I'm bailing on you tonight."

I like the commercial where the guy goes first and breaks up with her and then when it's her turn she says "I just won the lottery"

A gentleman would let her keep the ring

No question. Don't even bring it up.

a lady would give it back to him.

She might if she's upset enough, but 99% of women (incl some decent ones) believe that it's a gift to them and they will keep that shite--especially if you break the engagement. Only exception is if she's really, really upset and would rather throw the ring in your face than sell it.

Says who?

Its the SEC way.

OP: I don't want to marry you.

Jill: Oh....*eyes watering*....I'm pregnant.

This is how I see it going down in my head.

no idea? really?

The ring probably isn't worth half what you paid for it. let it go...

True. I wasn't one of the originals, but I was in on the first bandwagon wave after our 2003 season. Good times.
