A 22 year old guy in Massachusetts won $30.5 Million in the MA Lottery. Right before he won, his girlfriend dumped him. Bet she now regrets it. http://www.usatoday.com/media/cinematic/video/1649515/
What do you think she is feeling?
Have you ever regretted dumping someone? Why?

In my limited experience,I think I've truly "dumped" one guy. He was waaaaaaay too clingy and had some mommy issues. LOL
It's got to be a pretty damn legit reason for me to dump someone.0 -
I don't think I have ever regretted dumping someone. Well .. actually now that I think about it .. there was this one guy when I was in college .. I really liked him, but he was kinda nerdy and my friends would tease me endlessly about him. So, I got tired of it and broke it off with him. I saw him a few years ago and he is EXTREMELY wealthy now and his wife has the hugest diamond and saphire wedding ring ..lol.0

Ha! Good for him... That's one way to bounce back from a breakup.
I've never regretted breaking up with anyone. It's always been for the best.0 -

Yeah, good for him!
But do you guys honestly believe she should regret dumping him for over the cash? Maybe I'm an idealist, but wouldn't that have just prolonged the inevitable if they weren't compatible? I could see being a twinge jealous (it's only human) but she was the one who dumped him, not the other way around.0 -
I currently do not regret dumping anyone. There was a period I regretted dumping my first serious boyfriend and then we got back together... huge mistake.0
-
The only boyfriend I feel bad about "dumping" is one I had 4 years ago that got really serious really quickly (we had been together for 3 months and he wanted to get married). I knew for me I had to let him go before things got really bad, but he committed suicide 3 weeks later...that was a tough one to get over. Ever since then I've had a horrible time breaking up with guys (I realize that it wasn't MY fault and he had had history of attempts that I found out about after the breakup), but still.0

Yeh .. I did that with this last boyfriend.. you forget the reasons why you did it to begin with .. then they start popping back up and you think .. oh yeh .. that's why..lol.0 -
The joke is on her I suppose.0

We don't know why she broke up with him. Maybe she was tired of having to pay the way all the time and he seemed to leech off her. The 30.5 Mil would have fixed that kind of issue.
I do not regret dumping any of my boyfriends.0 -

That's fair. But if it was for non-financial issues to begin with then the cracks would appear eventually I think.0 -
I dont regret dumping anyone. However I do regret misinterpeting a relationship with a guy and bringing it to an end. I thought we were just FWB he apperantly was in love with me and didn't want anyone to knoe we were dating because my seperation from my ex-H was fresh and he didn't want our mutual friends to get all riled up. Were still friends but at the time he was really hurt .0

I guess there is one girl I regret dumping... her name is Megan and after about a week I seriously thought I'd marry her, those of you that know me pretty well will agree that is very out of character for me. Anyway she was absolutely gorgeous, funny as hell, and the sweetest person I have met to date.... I should add that she enjoyed playing with my man parts!! We lasted 3 pretty awesome months and then it started... she started going through some stuff that she just couldn't deal with and she threw it all on me. She knew she was doing this and just couldn't stop. My sister was living with me at the time and after watching me literally pull my hair out during phone conversations with Megan, my sister said what the hell are you doing get rid of her. She was right and I did. Well it seems Megan's life has settled down a bit and she has found a new guy and they seem very happy together... this makes me wonder what if I would have hung in there a little longer?? Oh well life goes on.0

Go get her man!! lol That made me a little sad!0 -

With this girl's track record of making choices, perhaps employment in the front office with the Portland Trail Blazers is in her future. The Blazers picked Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan in 1984 (really worked out well-LOL) and Greg Oden over Kevin Durant in 2007 (Oden has been mostly injured and now out of the league whereas Durant is one of the 5-8 best players in the league now).
I hope the guy stands his ground and makes sure that it is over with her. If you watch the video in the first post, the guy seems relieved that she took off.0 -

She likely thought he was a loser and with him having cash now, I would not be surprised if she tried to finagle her way back into his life. It is up to him to say no. She revealed who she was before he won the lottery.
If a woman wants to be with a man when he's driving a 1991 Mazda 626 instead of a brand new Mercedes Benz, it is evident she's really into him for who he is.0 -
Pure speculation...She likely thought he was a loser
Yes, she revealed that she didn't want to date him any longer... How does this make her a bad person? Am I misreading something here?She revealed who she was before he won the lottery.0 -

I'm not the type to break up a relationship where they both seem really happy.... however, if they break up I might convienently get in contact with her :devil:0 -

You had to do what was right for you at the time. She was emotionally wrecking you, and that's not something anyone should have to put up with. Maybe she really did calm down, maybe this guy just isn't affected by it or maybe they only fight behind closed doors so that everyone else thinks things are dandy. Regardless, just because you perceive her differently now doesn't mean you guys still might not be a fit, don't beat yourself up over it. :flowerforyou:0 -

Let it go. She showed you how she deals with stress and bad situations. There will be plenty more tough times, that's a part of life. She knew what she was doing to you and did it anyway. It's tough but you made a good decision.0 -

Yes, that is speculation but has some basis in reality. People don't dump people who they find desirable. So something was amiss. She did not find him desirable.
You're right that she revealed that she didn't want to date him any longer. But the thing is that the story isn't necessarily over yet. If she sticks to her decision and doesn't try to get back with him now that he is a lot richer, she probably has character. She proved that she isn't into him and that guy is better served by spending time now with women who will be into him. Lots of women are going to want him now, and it is kind of unfair for him because he's going to have to figure out who wants him for his money or inherent personal characteristics.0 -
Not at all. I just ran into one of my ex's on Tuesday at a show and she was bartending. It was nothing but awkward, she wasn't very friendly, didn't seem happy (or maybe just not happy to see me), and doesn't appear to be doing much with her life. No regrets there.
Speaking of which, when you order a drink from and old flame that you used to live with but then they slept with someone else the day after you broke up even though you were still living there...how much should you tip them for the drink?0 -

Oh, the thought crossed my mind, but I was planning on drinking more than one beer and I didn't want it to get spit in.Not at all.

Well, that changes things...to avoid spit, I'd go with the standard $1 a drink. But I'd make sure to hand it to her with my middle finger up...0 -

Ermmm, I thought all women enjoyed that!? :bigsmile:0 -

I often wonder how my life would have panned out if I didnt finish with my first serious b/f of 5 years. I think he would have settled me down and made me into a boring, sedate and predictable housewife.
Actually, he was a wonderful man, but I dont regret it at all...... :laugh:0 -

I would find a different bar to drink at that night.0
