They were talking about this on the radio in my area this morning. I guess I wasn't super surprised. They are very young, and this guy sounds pretty immature so I am not surprised the kid didn't act responsibly and just own up to the fact that he wanted out of the relationship.

Hopefully he's learned a lesson from this!

Sorry, when you said they were "very young", I thought maybe high school. But he is old enough to know better. I got engaged at 23 and by that time had been out on my own for five years. shit, I expect better from anyone my age. (24 now). That guy is just an idiot and an ass hole.

Agreed Pinkshorts. I hate the assumption of being young, as in 23 (which I am now), is associated with being immature. I mean , damn. I've heard of 40 year old people being more immature than 23 year olds.

Regardless, this is a ridiculous story.

Yeah, I'm barely older than this dude. He mostly just sounds like an idiot who will stay an idiot regardless of age.

She's a whole ocean away! It wouldn't have been that hard of a breakup, dude. Grow a pair.

At least he didn't call in a bomb threat at the venue to cover up for the fact that he procrastinated booking it for so long that it wasn't available.

I gotta dig up that story.

He should have gone to Yemen. I hear there is a room available at 15 Yemen Rd.

ETA: I wanted to insert a picture of Chandler going to Yemen but my work has blocked all the sites.

Me thinks he will be one of those guys who will be a super immature 40 year old.

Dear Tucker:

This kid is a stupid dickhead. Wow.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable reaction to me.

... he didn't even plan it well! or at all, lol... he should've known she would reach out to his family -_-

this reminds me of a story i heard when i was in med school. One of the financial aid officers said a former student tried to fake his death to avoid paying back loans. Sallie Mae found him hiding out somewhere in Europe, lol... they don't play with their money!

I knew a guy in undergrad who was casually dating this girl. She decided to fake her own death (got her friend to tell him she was in a car accident) rather than end what wasn't even really a relationship. It took him a couple days to find out, and he was distraught during that time.

mrscaty · August 2014

Here's another question. They were going to be married but she had never met his dad? And she didn't figure out it was actually HIM on the phone?!?!?

wtf?

Ditto. I got married younger than that, and I would never dream of doing anything so stupid and immature. It has nothing to do with his age.

And I thought MY commitment issues were bad...

Threw himself in front of a car? That's not even a good lie. He should have said a pots and pans robot came.
