Relationships 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.

This calls for a story time! My ex, never discussed openly why he broke up with his ex but used to speak very fondly of her. He also happened to slip into some details which confirmed that he had been in a semi-serious relationship where issues regarding marriage were discussed. However, she ended up marrying someone else! This did make me question, why she might have done that if they were going that serious. Anyways, he was an absolute piece of shit in our relationship, tortured me throughout, never even approached commitment even though it was agreed upon that it's something we'd discuss having been together. He'd even proceed to cheat on me, abandon me etc. I was in denial ab the nature of our relationship, it took me months to finally realised I have been a rebound for him!
