She Broke Up With Her Fiancé Because She Thought He Was Just Too Dumb To Spend The Rest Of Her Life With, And He Brought All Of His Friends Over To Trash Her House Afterward
This 25-year-old woman comes from a pretty strict Asian household, so while she was growing up, academic achievements were “everything.”
That’s why she continued pursuing higher education as an adult, earning two bachelor’s degrees as well as a master’s degree– all of which she completed at extremely prestigious colleges.
“The only activities I was allowed as a kid were piano and fencing since they would look good on college applications,” she recalled.
So, when she was introduced to her fiancé through their mutual friends, it was like she was transported to a whole new world.
She claimed that he was so much fun to be around, and he was an extrovert who tended to “let his intrusive thoughts win,” which was totally foreign to her.
“Being with him was an escape from reality to me. We would always try and explore different places, activities, food, and so on,” she explained.
“He was the complete opposite of me, which I was attracted to.”
She and her fiancé wound up dating for a year, too, but then he popped the big question.
She was totally caught off guard because he actually proposed during a surprise engagement party and invited about 50 of his friends to watch! And, in the heat of the moment, while everyone was shouting and celebrating, she just said, “Yes.”

Now that she’s had time to collect her thoughts and reflect on the engagement, though, she simply cannot imagine marrying her fiancé because they are simply too different. For starters, she works a high-paying job for a major corporation and often has to deal with a lot of work pressure and stress.
“And when I try to talk to him about my day and work, he is always so disinterested and thinks I am boasting about my job,” she said.
One time, she also started talking about the price of gas increasing due to the current state of Ukraine, and her fiancé actually asked who Ukraine was.
So, she feels like their education levels and interests just don’t align. She genuinely enjoys talking about politics and current events or even discussing a book she’s reading. Her fiancé, on the other hand, is never interested in what she has to say and has no desire to learn more about these topics.
“I also realized that we never really had any real conversations, except for gossiping about people, I suppose,” she added.
This realization ultimately pushed her to come clean about her feelings and talk to her fiancé. She told him that she simply couldn’t see herself spending the rest of her life with a partner who couldn’t hold a “normal conversation” with her. Afterward, they called off the engagement and broke up, and she thought it was actually “pretty peaceful.”
Well, the following day, she quickly learned that her ex hadn’t felt the same way about their split. Instead, he actually brought all of his friends over to her home, trashed her place, and cursed her out!
“Saying I always looked down on him and that I am a [jerk] for leaving him because I think he is dumb,” she vented.
And now, in the wake of the incident, she’s been left wondering if leaving her now ex-fiancé because he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed was really so wrong of her or not.
Can you understand why she doesn’t want to be with someone who doesn’t share at least some similar interests? Can you believe he trashed her place after they split? Does it seem like she made the right decision?
