What is the meanest thing....
 

that you ever did to someone you cared about?

With valentines day coming around I was thinking about Jane and my many years together. Never really thought about some of the things I did, however briefly that might have caused her trama.


Sunny day 28 years ago. We have a nice picnic and walk out on the end of the pier in our community. Sitting on the rocks...

I say... "Honey"

She says "yes"

Me.. "I dont know how to say this, so I'll just say it"

She says "just go ahead"

I say "I don't to date you any more"

The cruel part was the 15 second pause before I asked her to marry me.

My wife was so surprised and happy when I proposed to her that she forgot to answer. :r I said something like… “I take it that’s a yes?” :r

I read somewhere that a broad range of emotions experienced is very short time frames is good for a womans health. And given the till death do us part thing, we were just thinking long term... :D.

Me either

Congrats to you, Dave! Condolences to her ...

A guy never gets tired of hearing that .. abet from an unwanted source. :)

Re: What is the meanest thing....
 

Dave's on a roll today.

Re: What is the meanest thing....
 

Ha! I'm glad I didn't read this thread and try it when I proposed recently, or else my fiancee would probably have killed me in the span of those 15 seconds.

Something along the likes of Dave's story:

I met my wife when I transferred to another store (Oct `98). I was the manager and he was the subordinate (oh man... this is going to start it up :D). In any case; another associate told me that she liked me. One day she comes in all dolled-up. I was about to go home and she was going to start her lunch. I invite her to grab a bite since I skipped lunch and my drive is 60 minutes. So about 10 minutes in I ask her:

"So I heard that you like me. Is this true?"

"(Smiling & embarrassed) Yes."

"Well... you know as your manager; we can't be together."

At that point; all of the energy/happiness/smiling was crushed out of her. I had to verify this wasn't an employee prank. Her reaction told me it wasn't. So I said:

"Don't worry about it; what is between us is all that matters."

She came back to life and we have been together since. I transferred out of the store for obvious reasons; and then let it be known.

WORST DECISION EVER. J/K. I can't believe it has been over 10 years. Man time flies!

I had something similar to that happen.... the response was... "Are you serious!?"

Chit! I gotta remember that part too! :tu
