Thinker Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 I gave this advice to a friend back home today. Regarding the ring, tell him this: "I'll consider giving your ring back if you take out 1/4 page ads in both the <newspaper1> and <newspaper2> that include your name, photo, and your confession that you were engaged to a beautiful woman for 3 years but chose to post an online dating profile anyway. While you're at it, I want to see the same confession on your AOL profile for one month, too, right under your photo." Let's hear some other fun and creative ideas from the peanut gallery. Quote
Thinker Posted April 28, 2005 Author Posted April 28, 2005 thus the choice of the word "consider". Quote
Dechristo Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 And just how did she discover his involvment in the online dating service? Could it be she was there covertly herself? HMMMMM??? Quote
TheOtter Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Beautiful woman? I think you otter tell her to post her picture here - make that several pictures - and we'll get her hooked up real quick! Swimsuit and nude shots would be best. In the spirit of fairness, here's mine: OtterOtterOtterOtter Quote
Winter Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Have him climb 5 gallon buckets in lacy lingere. I've seen it before, and ITS FUCKING HILARIOUS! Quote
Thinker Posted April 28, 2005 Author Posted April 28, 2005 And just how did she discover his involvment in the online dating service? Could it be she was there covertly herself? HMMMMM??? A girlfriend called her at work this morning and had her log on ID the sucka. Quote
mec Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Well she should either dump the bastard, or consider it a chance for a threesome? Quote
Dru Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Then keep the ring anyway. My Preciousssssssssss Quote
Dechristo Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Hock the ring, then she can pay to take out the ads and have total creativity in where and how to expose the blaggard. Quote
olyclimber Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 I don't think we have all the facts here. Link to the ad please? There is a chance he was just trying to make new friends for his fiancee because he thought she was lonely and didn't have enough friends. Quote
archenemy Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 I don't think we have all the facts here. Link to the ad please? There is a chance he was just trying to make new friends for his fiancee because he thought she was lonely and didn't have enough friends. It would be good to see the ad. Hell, we all know he's single and available now. Quote

There is a chance he was just trying to make new friends for his fiancee because he thought she was lonely and didn't have enough friends. It would be good to see the ad. Hell, we all know he's single and available now. hmmmm...sounds like he might be able to get a date right away. Quote
faster_than_you Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Hum, generally it takes two to tango. I can’t help but wonder what she’s putting him through? What space are they in where he has to hide from her to find connections online? Is her behavior perfect? “Maybe” they should see a counselor and work on their relationship? Yeah, I’m sure it sucked to find that information out about him, but you can bet there is much more to the story. Anyway, there are no absolutes in the modern relationships. BTW, we’re all dying to see the link. ; ) Quote
Stefan Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 ...were engaged to a beautiful woman for 3 years 3 year engagement? Sounds like somebody was not really into making the final dive into marriage...or it could be the both of them. Who gets engaged for 3 years? Quote
archenemy Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 ...were engaged to a beautiful woman for 3 years 3 year engagement? Sounds like somebody was not really into making the final dive into marriage...or it could be the both of them. Who gets engaged for 3 years? People who can have premarital sex. Quote
Ratboy Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Engaged is engaged. If you want to see other people, then break it off first. Don't go behind someone's back. Otherwise you're just a dick, no matter the circumstances. Quote
archenemy Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Yeah. And be sure to have premarital sex while you're at it. But wait, who in their right mind would fuck someone who uses AOL? Quote
Dru Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 There is definitely a difference between tied up and dial up Quote
selkirk Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 If there isn't a ring an a date your not really engaged. And five gallon jugs in Lingerie just isn't enough, make him do the approach from Redpoint in "full gear" then send him Zebra Zion . And be sure to have someone on route to get blackmail shots for later. regardless, it's best to let it simmer for a while and not make any rash decisions. It'll give her time to realize he's an ass, not worth her thought and effort, and she should just donate the proceeds from the ring sale to charity. Well that, or come up with an even more deviant and cruel punishment! Quote
Duchess Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Hum, generally it takes two to tango. I can’t help but wonder what she’s putting him through? What space are they in where he has to hide from her to find connections online? Is her behavior perfect? I don't buy this at all. Who is making him "have" to hide online? Stop wasting precious years of her life, be a man and set her free. If her behavior's not perfect, all the more reason. That sucks, man. My heart goes out to your friend. I recently comforted a friend in the same situation - minus the engagement. The internet is going to be the undoing of our civilization. And I think your advice was dead-on. Quote
minx Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 i'm surprised he has the balls to ask for it back. he should just away w/his tail between his legs. Quote
lummox Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 i will help your friend out with some sexula healing. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 “Maybe” they should see a counselor and work on their relationship? fuck that. sorry, but that was something to think about BEFORE going on the internet to find yourself a new (or additional) hookup. i agree with what someone else said - three years of engagement is definitely a sign that it's not going anywhere. or at least not anywhere good. move on and find yourself someone even worth fretting about ...
