Ex-Boyfriend Expected Ex to Wait 2 Years for Him, but She Ended Up Getting Married to Someone Else, So He Flipped
You can't expect people to wait around for you while you play games. So here's some advice if you need help accepting that.
It's a well-known (although contested) fact that women mature faster than men, right? Does that mean that women shouldn't find fart jokes and video games entertaining after they reach their mid-twenties?
Definitely not, but it often means that women are ready to settle down in a relationship much faster than some men. Now, if you're not ready to settle down, that's absolutely fine! But understand that your partner (or ex-partner, as it might work out) does NOT need to wait around for you to sort yourself out.
It seems that some people, like the friend of our poster, don't understand that, so below are a few tweets from an innocent bystander that will help you understand and figure it out.
This is how the thread started:
He gives us a clear rundown of the situation, and I think we can all agree on what's going on...
But what he didn't realize was how common this type of thing could possibly be.
Let me make this clear for everyone: YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANYONE.
Oh... Oh no... Dude, no.
Don't be THAT person. Because let's be honest, she's just going to be mad at you or really confused. He could ruin her life.
OR talk to her like an adult instead of messing around.
NO ONE will ALWAYS be available for you. NO. ONE.
Does it matter how long it took her?
She obviously has a different opinion and isn't bothered by yours. Like a BOSS.
If the situation were different, I would, of course, feel sorry for him, but the entitled attitude he has towards her moving on? Nah, dude. Nah.
To everyone who calls themselves a friend to someone in this situation: Don't.
This guy knows what's up; people should appreciate guys like him more.
And of course, Twitter had something to say about it. Check out some comments:
I didn't think about it this way...
Not just guys; girls do this too!
TBH, everyone recovers from heartbreak differently, and that's 100% okay.
Important: Wait until they're single, THEN shoot your shot.
You can only help people who want help. Sometimes people just aren't ready.
"The challenge is to understand the difference between being patient and wasting your time." YES.
That's the move I call "the swoop"; you must learn to avoid it at all costs.
Don't even be a first option; make sure you're the ONLY option.
Whatever it takes... Whatever?
