    As someone whose currently engaged again after being a widow for 10 years since age of 21. The only thing I have left of my late husband is his ring. If my current fiance did something like that I wouldn't even feel the same for him anymore.

      Exactly. There are some things you don't ever get over, you just get through and find your new normal. You don't push that person and that love aside, you make room for more, for someone else. Congratulations on your engagement. I hope you have many happy years ahead of you.

      Exactly, you can't just fall out of love with a love that was still open. A love that had no mutual ending. It was cut short on one side, but the frayed end always stays open.
      I strongly believe you can love more than one person, even if you think you've found your "soulmate." The idea that one can ONLY EVER have a singular true love does nothing but cause immense grief to those who are led to believe they lost their only chance. You can totally love someone new while still feeling the love for the lost.

      You are right. I am dating a widower and he didn’t stop loving his wife. He didn’t choose for her to be gone. The heart can still love again and it does but you’re never just going to stop loving that person. The OP was horrible to his wife for this and even though he may have been a rebound to start with (lol I’m pretty sure I was at first too), she fell in love and married him! I can’t even imagine doing this to my partner. It would be devastating.

    There are 364 other days in a the year. If someone you love asks you not to celebrate Valentines because it was special to them and their deceased partner, the easy answer should be 'Let's pick a different day to celebrate us'. Is this one day really so important to be *the* day you celebrate that you ignore their feelings? I mean, new husband not letting her keep photos of the past husband is huge red flags so I'm not surprised her feelings didn't matter in this case.

      That's not a marriage to me.
      I'd make that day all about the lost loved one and keep a good memory even if it may be "in competition".
      If my partner would not use the day to grieve, let alone invite me to join respectfully, I'd be asking serious questions about the integrity of our relationship.
      My wife's ex-husband (while not dead) was a good guy imo and I like him (he just wasn't right for her).
      I don't (intentionally) deprive her of the memories she had with him and respect that he was part of her life at some point and meant at least a little something.

      Actually she was the one who kept showing her husbands death down OP's throat. They literally weren't allowed to do Valentine's Day because ops wife was so controlling. Imagine getting emotionally punished by you wife for bringing flowers. Like screaming and throwing a fit to throw them in the dumpster, OUTSIDE where the neighbors are seeing this, probably thinking OP cheated or did something actually horrible. Not give her flowers to show love, she can't dictate how he shows love, yet she has been. She's emotionally abusing him, and to do a show in front of the neighbors? Most people would have hit their breaking point like OP. Imagine the eggshells he's been walking on of flowers cause a melt down

      Did you even listen to the story? Sounds like after the first year, she literally stopped talking about her dead husband. She got rid of PHOTOS of someone who DIED for OP.
      Her compromise to him was trying to show him that she moved on by NOT bringing it up and getting rid of most of his tangible memorabilia. HIS compromise should've been to NOT celebrate Valentines Day because it is basically haunted by the memory of her dead husband. If he really wanted to do a valentines day equivalent would've been a great compromise-a week before, the week after, white day?? OP choosing to celebrate Valentine's Day is shoving her husbands death down her throat and shows his lack of empathy because he's afraid that he's a 6yr rebound.

She removed his pictures from their home. She only asked that OP didn't celebrate a day that she would've been celebrating doubly with her late husband if he were alive. She got emotional because he agreed not to 5 years prior and for those 5 years, he obliged. She was blindsided on her anniversary after a previous agreement not to celebrate it.

    He was COMPLETELY in the wrong, but imagine it from his side, thinking that she loves him. Then, realizing after six years that she will never love him as much as she loved her first husband. And, knowing deep down that she would’ve never chosen him, he is essentially a consolation prize.

    I feel bad for OP in the first story because that was probably burning away at him for years, slowly but surely, then asking the question, then not getting an answer, and then her lastly putting her wedding ring down. Mind you, she was quicker to proverbially “throw their marriage away” faster than she could ever get over her ex. He just wanted to love her and she just had rules based on her last marriage. *WITH ALL OF THAT BEING SAID THO* OP should’ve addressed this *_YEARS AGO._* She probably was giving off signals and ref flags that she was still in love with her deceased ex and OP probably kept ignoring them. 6 years into a marriage isn’t the time to ask if she was still in love with him, it should’ve been years ago. She’s still wrong tho for basically using him as a placeholder and jumping into a relationship when she *CLEARLY* wasn’t ready for one and it was shown that her loyalties still lied with the first husband when she took the wedding ring off so quickly when she still held onto basically the memory of her ex that long.

    The emotional immaturity of OP in the first story is astounding. He wanted to push out OP’s late husband entirely, saw himself in competition with him instead of accepting that him and his wife had a new, separate thing. The question “do you still love him or am I just a rebound?” Is telling, as if it has to be one or the other, as if she had to give up loving her deceased partner in order to love a mother person again. From the way OP tells the story this issue seems to have been festering for years. This could have been resolved with healthy communication, but instead she chose to avoid the topic and he chose petty retaliation.

    OP for the first story is an insecure POS. She has every right to love her dead husband and remember him. Her love for him doesn't overshadow her love for OP but he's such an insecure butt hole that he can't see past anything but his own selfish needs. He could pick 364 different days to shower her with flowers and gifts but he can't respect the one thing she asked.
    Then when he asks her an impossible question because of his insecurities, he violently attacks a sacred momento from her dead husband? What the hell did he think would happen? Smash the ring and suddenly she's "ok". What an insane narcissist. I don't blame her for being afraid. If he gets jealous will he hit her next? He attacked something deeply personal and he obviously doesn't get it still. His comments about throwing away the ring in the update show that even more. Give her the ring and an easy divorce and never bother her again. OP is cruel and he needs therapy.

    Also to Sam- your dad passing and the one you were planning to spend the rest of your life passing are different but also consider that Valentine's Day, the most romantic day of the year, is the anniversary of a milestone she took with someone she considered the love of her life who is no longer with her. Grief takes a lot of time, and since she jumped into another relationship so soon after his passing, she didn't have the chance to grieve properly.

The ex wife clearly stated why Valentine's Day was painful for her, and he trampled on her feelings because he felt small. He then chose to violently react, AFTER SHE HAD GOTTEN RID OF ALL OTHER PHYSICAL REMINDERS, and destroy the ring. His actions were petty, mean-spirited and cruel. Those are not the actions of someone that's actually loving or even deserving of love.

    The first story is so sad. As you guys mentioned, they were too young and she probably wasn't used to being alone. I think she just wanted someone to help her with such a burden and op didn't say no. It's weird from his part too to know she's grieving and kinda taking advantage of that and being her boyfriend in such a vulnerable state. Of course she needs to come to terms with that passing but she has to do it on her own terms and, if you married her, you accepted her and no one forced you to. OP knew what he was getting into. Even though she is broken and hopeless it seems, she still tried to be a good wife and love him. It's so disheartening to see she's being paid with this.

    She tells him that she never wants to celebrate Valentine's Day. He says ok. 6 years later & they're married, he can't even bring her flowers that day? I think that's OP's 1st screw up, not asking "Is getting you flowers celebrating? In my view celebrating is making a big deal, going out on a date, a heart shaped box of candy, all that. If I got you flowers is that breaking our deal?" I don't advocate boundary stomping, but she really wasn't specific to OP on the boundary & he didn't ask because he wanted to surprise her. Bad communication on both their parts. [For example, when I say "I don't care about celebrating my birthday now that I'm older" it doesn't mean I don't want any acknowledgement ever & no one can even talk about it. I tell people "Sure send a card or text! It's nice you remember, I just really feel I outgrew parties years ago." See? More specific. I don't tell them I might pick up takeout to treat myself because then I don't have to consider everyone else's diet/preferences. I tell them I don't want a party & I mean I don't want a party because it's just not me. I really don't like all that. So that's what I mean about being clearer on the definition of the boundary.]
    But then I understand OP's initial anger, how when he asked if she actually loved him or was he just a placeholder for her 1st husband, SHE DIDN'T ANSWER HIM! He only freaked out after she continued not answering him verbally & then she took off her wedding rings! How can she claim later in her letter that of course she loves him? She literally couldn't say "I love you" when he asked & then she did the literal "I'm ending our marriage" move of taking off her rings!! He yelled a bit, yes, but he only lost it & freaked out when he got her VERY clear answer that she did NOT love him by taking off the rings. So again, why is she gaslighting him in her note that she did love him & only decided it wasn't going to work after he lost control of himself? She took off her rings 1st! She decided to end their marriage 1st.
    Of course OP is wrong for letting his feelings turn into destructive actions. SO MASSIVELY WRONG. But she clearly contributed to his freak out. She didn't really love him, at least not like that. She couldn't even say "Yes I love you, but I'm too screwed up & get flashbacks from even flowers. You shouldn't even have brought flowers. Never give me flowers the rest of my life, because it makes me think of him. I don't care if you feel societal pressure to do flowers as a sign of love. Think of something else." It still would've hurt his feelings, but the boundary would be made clearer & reestablished, he would've apologised & they would've gone on for a few more years in their screwed up marriage.
    Why did she feel the need to keep the other guy's ring handy right in her drawer IN THEIR BEDROOM? Why wasn't it in a safe? She put the pictures away, not around the rest of the house, supposedly to make him happy, yet she kept the ring handy. To me it seems a passive-aggressive move to make sure he gets reminded of the 1st husband constantly, even while she puts on the public face of "considering his feelings" by not having the photos up in the hall & living room along with all other family photos. Sorry, but really this part of where she kept the ring catches my attention. I have more than 1 family member that has issues & rather than self-feflect they do passive-aggressive manipulation like that to make it seem they're never responsible for the relationship trouble.

    The first story, he was SO wrong. But to be honest they didn’t have a chance really, because she wasn’t ready for that relationship and hadn’t grieved like she needed. Because he also deserved more, too, that she wasn’t ready to give and since she never dealt with what she needed to or healed enough she was never going to get there. So, they’re both in the wrong, he’s just WAY more in the wrong and he blew up the relationship. They could’ve actually got help and she could’ve gotten help too and they fixed it eventually, but instead he did what he did.

  • @seriouskhan
    @seriouskhan 7 месяцев назад +4

    Hot take: I think yes she rushed into that relationship. She probably didnt know how to cope or self soothe and only knew how to do that with a partner. However! I think 6 years is good time to seek therapy and grieve. I feel like her reaction to the flowers was reactive and doesnt demonstrate someone who has grieved or accepted her ex- spouse's passing. To have that reaction 6 years later is alot i feel. And to be with someone else for 6 years which is the length of her last relationship and to watch her react that way would be upsetting. I think his reaction was also natural as well since his own love language may be gift giving so to throw away that can really hurt those types of people. Do i think he could have given her flowers any other day? Sure of course. But going so far as to break the ring i think his rage and feelings of rejection got the best of him. And he will have to deal with those consequences. Thats just life. Ps. Dont come for me. Im not here to argue.

My husband and I almost got divorced, because of grief that I was dealing with after we were already married. How she made a new relationship work for so long, I have no idea. I hope she is okay, and not just burying her feelings. Like it seems she did for her entire relationship with OP. After what he did, there is no way. You don't get over someone who dies. You just learn to live without them. 6 years is not enough time to just get over him like OP wants.

He was cutting strawberries at work and something happened so he decided to stab the countertop. Eventually, he and his girlfriend got into a fight and he decided to hold her at gun point because he couldn’t control his anger. I think uncontrolled anger is so dangerous. Doesn’t matter how nice he acts at times or how good he thinks he is. Nobody good or safe will do any of that. If you have issues with anger, seek help now. Right now.

      @@Monster_sky_highthis. It seems like OP always had to be careful what he did to avoid his wife having a meltdown. Her reaction to him giving her flowers on Valentine’s Day was WAY over the top. I don’t care if it reminds you of your late spouse. You don’t treat your current spouse like that. OP communicated that it means something to him to be able to do that for her and she’s like “no, it meant something to me and my dead husband so it can’t mean anything to us.” Yeah, OP absolutely is the AH for smashing the ring. He says the wife was always loving toward him and never compared him to her dead husband but part of me thinks he’s protecting her so he gets the full force of the backlash. The wife is an AH for getting in a relationship when she wasn’t ready. I wonder if she truly loves OP or if she just couldn’t stand the thought of being alone. Now, I’m only 13 minutes into the video so idk how it’s gonna go but while I absolutely do not condone what he did, I don’t blame him one bit for, after a while, questioning if he was just a rebound. I think the wife got mad because she got called out and didn’t want to answer or didn’t realize it until then.

If my husband went out of his way to do something nice for me, I'd acknowledge that thing even if it made me uncomfortable. And maybe the next day speak to him calmly and tell him I appreciate his thoughtfulness and ask that he not do what he did to make me feel uncomfortable again.
      He bought her flowers because he thought it would be ok. Because he loves his wife. That's not a horrible thing. Destroying the flowers was just wasteful. She could have said thank you and given them away or something.
      Idk why it would be wrong for the wife and the new husband to celebrate the dead husband's life or something on Valentine's day. Yeah, the wife could be sad about not having her old husband but she could be grateful that she has a new partner to share her life with.

The wife's narcissism is unreal... it's akin to people who deliberately push people to a breaking point, then record them once the other person snaps while they behave like they're the innocent one or the victim while on record. Her excuse is ridiculous. She basically picked up his emotional breaking point off the floor and beat him with it. At any point in their relationship she could have taken personal responsibility for herself put on the breaks. But it seems to me sadistically making someone pine for your heart knowing you'll never fully give them what they want is just incredibly self serving. I feel like he got gaslit to all hell. Granted he shouldn't have behaved the way he did, but I'm not sure if expect differently of someone being slowly emotionally and mentally poisoned.

    Sure OP went off-road when he asked her if he was a rebound and smashing the ring was just going full train wreck.
    But, some forget where OP started the off-road turn.
    After 6 years and then married, she could just as easily has expressed that she still doesn't want to celebrate valentine's day and tell him to give the flowers to someone else. But SHE stormed out throwing a $100 bouquet in the dumpster and scream crying outside. So, she started it all, so in some way, I understand why OP asked her if he was a rebound, coz if she, after 6 years react like that to a bouquet of flowers she certainly don't sound like she's over her late husband at all. And when he asked her, she should have answered him, coz her silence was the reason he started yelling for an answer, coz silence would just make him feel like a rebound even more and so, her action to then lack of responding sende OP to the edge where he bashed the ring and box it was in.
    So Sure OP is an A-hole, but she ain't better herself, coz her reaction and silence was his beginning to go off-road. So she is J st as big of an A-hole.

    Like it’s not that she celebrated Valentines Day with him , it’s that it’s their anniversary.
    He could pick ANY day of the year to be like a special day to celebrate.
    Like it could be turned into their own cute little tradition. But it wasn’t about that to him. It was about trying to erase her late husband.
