Ok guys, siriusly. If there WERE a reasonable explanation, don't you think she might have posted something along the lines of "Hey ladies. You may remember me. My FI passed away last year? Well I thought I would update you on what's happened since..."?

Ugh. I'm just utterly ticked off about this.

[QUOTE]A quick stalk-fest of OP Preplanning a wedding 4 months before (click) 2 months before, BF has cancer (click) SO passed away ( click) 2 months later, update that SO passed away (click) And then no posts until today. Even if your post history is hidden on your profile, you can still search by username. WTF, OP? You SERIOUSLY owe us an explanaion, until then I'm going to assume you're a lying asshole.

[QUOTE]I have two friends who have dated dudes for a while, broke up, were in serious relationships with other people, got back with their first BFs, and just continued to count from their first anniversary.  So they'll say that they've been together with their SOs for 10 or 11 years, when really, they dated for a few years, dated another guy or two for another few years (yes, other serious relationships), and then got back with the original guy and all of a sudden they're celebrating 10 years together. At the one girl's wedding, if you didn't know she had a different serious BF in college, you would have just thought they dated for 9 years straight. The length of their relationship was mentioned more than once. Edited because I originally posted on the mobile site, which we all know completely sucks.
Posted by K Everdeen12[/QUOTE]

My sister did this as well. When she went off to college and her (now) FI went off to school she broke up with him so she could experience "college life". I remember she went on a few dates, but I don't think she had any serious relationships. They were broken up for about 2 years until the time her FI finished school and moved back home. They got back together over the summer and moved in together the next fall. They say that they've been together 9 years, but truthfully, it has only been 7 years in total and 5 years since they've broken up and gotten back together. It doesn't really bother me that she does this, but when she tries to use the length of her relationship to try to "one up" my relationship I have to really bite my tongue not to point this out to her. She gets super ticked off if you mention this, she likes to pretend it never happened.

SKP82

Ugh.  I remember OP and all those previous posts.

I have to say that I felt something was fishy when she originally posted about her SO being sick.  I'm going to feel like an a$$hole if it really happened, but at the time, I had a feeling she was a psycho AW. 

SKP82

Maybe she just likes to plan weddings?

This is for all you assholes, who have nothing better to do than say im lying. Its nice to know i came to this board years ago for inspiration when planning my wedding and ideas.

 This is a copy of my former fiances obit......Richard Eric Britton passed away on Friday, April 8, 2011. He is survived by his companion Allison B, his mother  and two sisters. There will be a memorial service on Monday, April 11, 2011 at 2:00pm at Words of Light Church in Jacksonville, FL. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society . Arrangements by National Cremation & Burial Society, Jacksonville, 904-346-3331.

I did create a new username so people dont get confused, but i will not post on this board again since you cant just say congrats.

yes, In retrospect i should have said let me give you an update on where i am but i didnt come on here much before anyways. I honestly didnt think you would remember me and since i only come here for ideas anyways, i figured it didnt matter. Wow!!!!!

@ buggle2. I guess what your saying makes sense, but i would never assume someone would lie about something like that and i would personally consider it distasteful to say so even if i thought it. But thats just me, i dont assume anyone is evil unless proven that way. Thank you for realizing and seeing it is still hard and i am glad we are happy even though i miss my former SO dearly. His family has been so supportive and were all like he's smiling down because your happy. I may consider sticking around, even if i just lurk HAHA.

<div>I already admitted I have nothing to do tonight.  That's pretty much the topic of the latest thread on this board.</div><div>
</div><div>What you're saying here is just very contradictory to me.  If you consider us "complete strangers" and only come on here to read for ideas, then why did you keep us up-to-date on your former FI's medical history?  Why did you bother coming to post when you got engaged this time?  I mean...  did you not <em>read</em> the responses you got from us after your former SO's death and memorial service?  Many of us, myself included, were genuinely heartbroken for you.  I thought about you and how much you had to be hurting a <em>lot</em>, and I said so.  But apparently that "doesn't matter" and wasn't enough to make you realize I'd remember you?</div>

<div>Well... you know... I find it distasteful that all the love you were shown here back when Eric passed away apparently meant nothing to you.</div><div>
</div><div>And... what is it exactly that you "would never do to anyone?"  Fail to believe a story that didn't add up?  Ask for explanations?  Like Buggle said, try to look at this thread from an outside perspective and see how it just doesn't make sense.</div><div>
</div><div>Also, had you been lying, you would not have been the first. There was a poster on Snarky Brides a year or two ago named "Kate C" whose FI passed away in a sudden, tragic accident.  Or at least that's what she said.  A while later it came out that she had made most of it up.  It's pathetic, but this is the internet.  People do stupid things here when they get desperate for attention.</div>

[QUOTE]A few internet forum lessons for you then, Allie. 1. If the story is too dramatic/effed up to be real, it's usually someone with too much time on their hands, making shiiit up and trying to get strangers on the internet riled up. Don't fall for it. 2. People say what they think. Feel free to do the same. If you ask for advice, you will get honest feedback. Everyone will not agree with you. People will tell you to pull your head out of your ass when you're being dumb. They're trying to help, not make you mad. We will not validate you when you're being crazy. 3. Stuff gets misconstrued REALLY easily, and you need to be really, REALLY clear that you tell all the important parts of the story. 4. Nobody is attacking you. Nobody is out to get you, or intentionally trying to hurt your feelings. If you feel targeted in a post, it is 99 likely that the poster did not mean it in the way you're reading it. Take a step back before replying, and don't take everything personally.
