Being the "cause" of someone else's marriage

I'm sure there are others here who have had experience with this.

So last night I was talking to an old girlfriend...I had been talking to her before, last year, when she suddenly broke off all contact and then I saw that her current BF proposed to her and she accepted. LOL but also: ruh-roh. Vague sentiments of wrongdoing on my part...I found out last night that yes, she married him and he proposed to her after logging into her email/FB accounts (asshole) and seeing our messages to each other. So I feel terribly guilty about this, of course, not in the sense of interfering with her relationship (fuck this current guy) but in the sense of...being the cause of someone else's marriage.

Any of you have similar experiences?

Yeah, fuck that guy...but it's understandable.

Well...okay, not really. Jealousy makes people do crazy things...

People still believe that marriage solves all problems.

Yeah, I know...but I don't really know what to say.

the fact she said yes is fucking tragic, zero self esteem?

Sure, it's just survival.

But these days...I don't really understand why people get married or why they stay in marriages where they hate the other person. I understand it's complex and it isn't easily talked about, but...ack...

I feel bad for putting her in that situation, though...

I don't know one single person who is in a happy marriage.

He's just another stupid man. They're thick on the ground.

And Bloor: good. I hope you stay that way...

neither involves an American woman

marriage ONLY benefits the woman

one of my girlfriends left me for another guy, who in turn was nothing but abusive towards her. I guess what goes around comes around.they divorced and she remarried, to a nicer guy who gets along with me pretty well. oddly enough, we're friends to this day. I'm not bitter.

It's so awkward to see you try and be nice to everyone, Bored. It's like every nice post of yours has a palpable sense of violence just underneath the surface.
