Do you remember a young love that you are glad ended? I did last night when I went to Facebook. I was

[debm55]

shocked . His page was full of hate , he is a magat. I was engaged to him. I left him when he got abusive. About 10 years ago we met up on my cousin's Facebook and made plans to meet in Pittsburgh. I took albums of my family on our vacations. I stood and waited . He never showed up. I called and he said some nasty things to me. I never contacted him again. He married the blond head cheerleader from HS. He was my first love. Now look at his page I hardly recognize him--with the n word. anti-woman, Nazi flags, etc. I was so in love with him. I had a baby and miscarried. What the hell happened to him, I douged a bullet there.

1. You are certainly well rid of him!

I’m glad you moved on from that relationship. It sounds like his Maga characteristics were starting to show years ago.

3. I did see it but I was so in love with him I did want to see it. It was nothing major. but he did call me ethnic slurs.

I just was shocked about the change.

2. Whew! I'm glad you dodged that toxic moron.

4. I came from a very abusive home. He was the only one that ever told me he loved me. I fell for it.

5. I've had 4 serious relationships in my life and I wasn't happy that any of them ended.

They were all when I was young and they either just fizzled out because we were too young or the guy was moving far away and I didn't want to move. I did, however, have a big crush on a guy when I was in middle school and early high school. I got a friend request from him about a year ago, so I checked out his page before I accepted the request. It was full of MAGA lies. I blocked him.

Sorry you had such a nasty experience. You wonder what happened to them in their lives to make them like that. But it's probably no more complicated than Rush Limbaugh, Fox-PAC, etc., etc., etc.

6. Aren't you glad you checked his page first. I am so happy that you did.

9. I always check if I don't know the person or if it's somebody I haven't been in contact with for a time.

It saves a lot of hassle.

10. Thanks catbyte. It still amazes me of the hatred that lives inside him. I wonder why. that happened.? At the end he told

me I was a dirty hunky. And he could never marry me because he meet my great grandmother who only spoke Yiddish and I had to interpret what she said to him and him to her. I gave him back his ring.

7. Facebook is good for something. It's nice to be able to quickly check out someone before wasting any time on

them.

8. Agree, Thank you LoisB True, so true.

11. I dated a girl from Arkansas for a while when I was in the Army.

We started dating after her previous boyfriend got her pregnant and then left her. I helped her through some of the rough patches of her pregnancy.

I was stationed on Fort Knox at the time. When we went on field exercise to Fort Chaffee in Arkansas, I sneaked off post one night to go, ahem, visit her in Jonesboro. It’s one of the few ‘bad boy’ things I’ve done in my generally rule-following life.

She gave birth to a daughter after I returned to Knox, but I went back to see her a couple of times, and helped her take care of her baby.

Not long after that, she called me crying to tell me she was pregnant again. She hinted for a while that I was the father before confessing that she had gone back to her old boyfriend, who got her pregnant again and left her again.

That was the end of that, and good riddance.

16. Oh Aristus you were such an angel to that woman It is a shame what she did to you,

[Aristus]

17. Well, she wasn't very bright, and had next to no support from her family.

And her baby daughter was an absolute angel. Being there for her for those few short months prepared me to be the good step-grandfather I am today.

13. I had two "serious" relationships before I met my wife. They were both doomed from the start...

... but I was too young and foolish to know it.

All of us were good people.

The first was a very affluent women who was trying to prove to herself and her family she was not a lesbian. That ended bloody, like a David Lynch version of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." We broke up when I jumped out of her moving car. She later married a woman I'd introduced her to and this was before gay marriage was legal. I never introduced her to my parents or siblings, probably because I subconsciously knew they'd tell me what was going on. We crossed paths years later at a technical conference and pretended not to know one another. We've probably both got PTSD from those times.

The second was a woman who was separated from her fundamentalist Christian husband. She'd got her own apartment was going back to school as a biology major. We'd study together in a secluded part of the library and play footsie under the table. We'd camp together on field trips too. One day, out of the blue, she told me she was quitting school at the end of the term and going back to her husband. I was devastated.

Since we are all a very religious lot I did manage to escape with my virginity.
