I just found out the girl I dated for 4 years through college is now engaged. It's odd.

Also, I pretty much know I will be invited to the wedding, how do I say no thanks without looking like an asshole?
Tell the truth; you just feel like your presence there would be a distraction on a day that is supposed to be about them.
true. but i know she really wants me to be there, i just would feel awkward and like i didn't belong.
The only woman I dated who's ever gotten engaged is so unstable that when I heard she was engaged, I knew it would only last a month, if that.
It actually made it a month and a half.
Yes, I was incredibly self satisfied.
Never underestimate a persons ability to make themselves miserable.
@rearden - very true. if i had stayed with her id have ended up in a pennsylvania nightmare. shes a good girl, just werent right for each other.
@namrock - hahah, that does sound kinda satisfying, but i hold no ill will towards her, i genuinely think she'll be fine and whatnot. i just dont really want to be a part of it.
@manuel - see the problem is she knows me well enough to know that, in fact i think ive told her that before in hypothetical conversations, yet i know it still means al ot to her and she'll probably still ask.
I had this happen to me. It's a truly strange feeling kind of unnerving

Don't get me wrong, when we were done, we were DONE. both of us were out, and happy to be done with it, and are still friends and chat regularly.
This just is very odd, I guess because it's the first person I've dated that's getting married. I dunno.
