When I go to these Meetup groups and Facebook get togethers, people meet, hook-up, date, even get married. These past few years though, I must've come across 3 or 4 people who dated for a time, got married, and probably in a lesser amount time they dated they divorced.
This one woman dated this guy for a couple of years, married for a single year and divorced because 1. He never did love her and 2. Found his 'true love" in Japan when he was traveling abroad for work.
That one was kind of sad because I knew them both pretty well. Turned out he revealed himself to be a real prick to ALL of us. He never showed up to our events again.
Another one, basically, this couple, met in Meetup, dated, and married for only about a year or 2 tops...turns out he got nailed in a drug sting operation put on by the cops. Sadly, we never thoguht of that guy being a participant in the criminal elelment. Needless to say, he's pretty much public record...that marriage ended obviously.
It's kind of interesting how I've remained single throughout my "friends" courtship through marriage through divorces in the matter of a handful of years. I am wondering how often is this occurring even?
Kind of makes me feel relieved that I'm single when I hear these short-lived/nightmare scenarios.
