His Girlfriend Started Crying At Her Ex’s Funeral, Said She Wished They Never Broke Up, And Admitted She’d Never Loved Anyone That Much
This guy and his girlfriend have been dating for about four years now. At the same time, she used to have a close friendship with her ex-boyfriend.
But then, his girlfriend’s ex tried to hit on her while he was already officially dating her. So, his girlfriend cut her ex off and ended their friendship.
For some context on his girlfriend’s past relationship, she and her ex had known each other for around a decade.
“They were high school sweethearts and stayed together throughout college,” he explained.
As for why they broke up, his girlfriend wanted kids, and her ex-boyfriend didn’t.
Anyway, his girlfriend’s ex actually passed away pretty recently, and she was invited to the funeral despite the fact that she had cut off their friendship.
So, he was asked to accompany his girlfriend to the funeral, and he agreed.
She wound up crying while at the funeral, and while he wasn’t “happy” to see her get so upset about another guy, he tried to ignore his own feelings.
“I swallowed my emotions and offered my full support,” he recalled.

Well, his girlfriend then started opening up even more– talking about how much she wished that she and her ex had never broken up to begin with!
She even claimed that she’d never met anyone else who she loved as much as her ex. Yikes.
“And she made a speech about how she says that if things had been different, they would be a happy family with children,” he added.
You can probably imagine how hurt and awkward that made him feel. And at the time, he had to seriously force himself not to say anything to his girlfriend about her crying or her comments.
Afterward, they also returned home together, and his girlfriend did not address any of the statements that she made at the funeral.
So now, he honestly wants to break up with his girlfriend after everything that she said. But he’s not sure if ending their relationship right after her ex-boyfriend’s funeral would be a jerky thing to do.
Do you think his girlfriend was just grieving? Or did her comments make it clear that he wasn’t really her first choice? Would you be able to stay with your partner if they said those things at their ex’s funeral?
