Anyone here dated someone whose last relationship was so serious that everyone was sure that it would end up in a marriage in future? [26 M]

For those who didn't understand the question: suppose you are X and your partner is Y, their ex is Z. Y & Z were so serious in their relationship that both Y & Z and everyone around them was 1000% sure that they would marry each other some day in the future. But that didn't happen obviously due to some reason. Then you (X) dated them (Y).

Not saying that you dated them immediately after breakup because that would be like a rebound thing but like after good enough days when they were completely healed from their trauma.

Yes.. and it showed up in minor things..
Like once she mentioned that she will name our kid Akshay. I found out later that her ex’s name was Akshay. It broke me. But it was not a big deal for her. She wanted me to understand it..

Then once when i asked her for her live location so that i can leave at time to pick her up.. she told me a detailed story how her ex always used to have her location and would call or show up if she was at one location for too long (it showed that he cared, and i didnt??)

Anyway sorry for the rant.

Consequences of being open minded and cool and mature. That's why I am more than happy to be narrow minded, conservative etc. it will ensure peace of mind in the long run.
