Register at Tiffany for your HOTT new divorcee apartment on Park Avenue!

See what happens to people who flout blueangel's timeless romance rules? :mad:

OMGWTFBBQ you guys I am really worried because the GPMOM AND GPDAD were still in high school after they had been dating for two years and so they didn't get married and my mom NEVER got an engagement ring because my daddy was from the wrong side of the river and didn't have the money and they eloped and did not get married in a house of the Lord and even if they did it would have been the Catholic Lord so it probably wouldn't count and they have been married for 28 years but now I just know that they are going to get divorced. :( :( :( :(

:D

More like 9 pages now!



FWIW, I've been to two Divorce Showers, and highly recommend them! You already have the things you need, at the Divorce Shower you get the things you really want!!!

and that's all I'm gonna admit!

So I've been seeing this guy for two months and I don't even call him my boyfriend yet. Is there any way we can catch up? I only have 22 months left! Or should I just dump him now and start over?

No, I haven't set up the breakup. We have been talking about things, and I leave for Tampa soon, so I am going to have some serious alone time to think about what I want.

I had no idea that I made a thread so popular! Heheheehe. Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll take everyone's thoughts into consideration!

The only thoughts you should consider are your own.

um, not if she wants to get MARRIED!

who wants to put on wedding dresses and logon to eHarmony.com with me?

I find it disappointing to read some of the very sarcastic and, quite frankly, mean spirited barbs made on this thread.

Does this mean that it really IS true what independents accuse the Greek community of? That all of us must think and talk alike or face being ostracized? That no one can be respected for having a different opinion or for being an individual? That the "group mentality" of the Greek system forces people to acquiesce?

And... are you living your ritual when you deal with others?

Isn't it also unfair to the original poster to have her problem degrade into a silly-fest? She seems to be very troubled about her situation (and rightly so) and thought enough to ask her fellow Greeks for some advice. Don't we owe it to her to try to help in a respectful manner?

Doesn't seem that the OP was very bothered at all, judging from her posts a few posts back. Plus no one is poking fun at her situation or anything of the sort.

You're not quite innocent here, either.

You called other posters "bitches", incidentally after asking people not to curse. Does your ritual teach you to call other people names when they challenge you and don't agree with you?

You've passed judgment on a number of people and have acted like your "rules" are actual rules

You said:

What, can't we disagree with you? You're getting terrible defensive because we don't agree with you. Pot, kettle?

We're allowed to challenge your opinions. If you want to act like a know-it-all, you're gonna get challenged.

Don't know about your group, but my organization teaches us to be strong individuals who think for ourselves and become educated. Being educated, to me, involves questioning things so you better understand them.

You're being terribly hypocritical here

I know for a fact that our ritual doesn't teach that! :D

(just trying to make a funny since this thread is starting to suck)

Haha, i'm sure if it did, the Reverand would've brought it up by now!

I think you owe me an apology, Danielle. I never called anyone a "b*tch" or any other name. I do not curse, nor do I name call. I challenge you to repost the alleged thread. Perhaps you have me mixed up with someone else?

I also wonder if you really READ my posts, or just skim over them? I hope you are really reading this one so that you don't misconstrue anything I'm saying.

I have been nothing but respectful to the other posters on this thread... and, I will remain to be so.

If you go back and re-read my posts, I have said a number of times that I am not judging anyone. I merely offered up statistics to back up why I feel about the situation as I do. Don't kill the messenger.

To recap... the stats clearly show that those living together before marriage have a lesser chance of actually getting married... and if they do get married after living together... have a poorer chance of staying married. It does not mean that living together necessarily spells doom for a relationship-- but it DOES stack the odds against you. There are plenty of people who have beaten the odds.

Personally, I don't believe in living together before marriage. It is not right for me. But, as I have said before, if you or anyone else here feels it is right for them, that is fine. I also don't play the lottery, but I have no objections to those who do.

And.. if you ask for an opinion, as the original poster did, I will give an honest one. I'm sorry that you don't like my opinion.. but that's what makes the world so interesting. We're all different people with different ideas. Without that diversity, the world would be a very boring place. I don't know about you, but I don't have to have the same opinion about everything with my friends in order to like them.

In fact, my best friend and I are on complete opposite sides of the political fence. Oh, we had some very healthy debates during the presidential election, but, we agree to disagree, and then go shoe shopping together!

One thing I will say... I am very troubled and saddened by your implication about my sorority's ritual. I certainly hope you didn't mean it.

And finally, I've said a number of times that I welcome differing opinions. I only ask that they be argued in a RESPECTFUL manner. There is a big difference between being sarcastic -- making fun of a poster's opinions, and offering statistics, studies, and reasons why one thinks as they do.

Now, I do hope that we can agree to disagree.

People who demand an apology...who think they're owed an apology...probably don't deserve one to begin with. :rolleyes:

GC:1 blueangel:0

OTW...why do you feel it necessary to fan the flames? Are you enjoying the conflict?

I've offered to put this to rest. Now, why don't we all agree to disagree?

Not fanning the flames. Just letting the rest of the world know that I think you're a douchebag. And I know others agree, they're just afraid to say it.

But they don't need me to say it. You're doing a great job on your own.

I can't find it now, but I SWEAR I saw a post from you where you called the girls on here "bitches". When I went back all I could find was someone quoting it..but it looked like the original had been editted...I really think I remember you saying that.

And as far as experience has taught me, people who say "I'm not judging...." almost always are.

I think everyone needs to take a chill pill and calm the EFF down... ;)

We don't have the full on blasters that usually ride GC, i.e. Rudey, James, Cashmoney, KTSnake, RACooper and DSTCHAOS who would call folks out left and right...

But the last time we had that, it was a full on riot... Besides, most of those folks named are liable to get the thread locked with their minds-a-cranking...

Cutie26--

Do you want to marry this guy or not?

If you do, this boy ain't gonna marry you... He's bullishtted you for the last few years, he ain't gonna pin stuh down for yah and you'll find that there are more fish in the sea...

And what do you want to marry this guy for? Is he all that to you? Is this your "soulmate" in life? Are you old enuf to make that decision right now with all your experiences behind you?

Like if you don't know what Yab Yum means, then sweetheart, you need more life experiences, you aren't ready for marriage...

OMG...one of my really good guy friends freshman year in college was from Canada. I rocked out the "eh" so hard.

pixell...that comment containing the word "bitches" was conveniently edited. Dionysus quoted it earlier...and it's there in all its unedited glory.

Quite ironic, that hypocrisy is.

Yep, she did post that. Dionysis quoted it before blueangel edited it.

Lying is just SO honorable :rolleyes:

For posterity.
 

It's all there on Page One, folx. I just find it soooooo ironic that "please do not call us bitches!" came from Dionysus' mouth. ROFL. :D

blueangel - I was once an idealistic, young GC poster such as yourself (and there's proof, check a few threads in Greek Life around early January 2004) but then I figured out something IMPORTANT.

Are you ready??

DON'T TAKE GC TOO SERIOUSLY



It's just words from people you'll never meet on the interweb. That's all.

As far as the OP, I'm sure she was looking for a few peoples' experiences, but as far as real, honest advice goes, she probably wouldn't be asking random people on a GREEK LIFE MESSAGEBOARD to fix her personal relationship problems. (at least I seriously hope not).

Don't turn GC into your own personal crusade. It'll never work out in your favor. Besides, there are way more important things to get all up in arms about on here -- like whose mom is better: Rudey's or BobbytheDon's.

I keed, I keed!

Rob [KSigRC] showed you statistics that contradict what you said. Why have you not attempted to refute them?

BECAUSE ROB IS MEAN AND UNCHRISTIAN.

smoke zen everyday

I think it's interesting that since you painted yourself in to a corner, you feel the need to lie. You know I don't curse, and never called anyone a b*tch. I have only been respectful to you and everyone here.

But, you're backed in to a corner-- are wrong about my post-- went back to try to find something I never said-- you're embarrassed-- and can't admit it-- so once again-- you go back on the attack.


(edited to add-- If you look at the post in question-- on page three-- you will see that it was never edited. Dionysis apparently thought it would be funny to misquote what I said) But facts don't seem to matter to you at this point.

Thanks, ISUKappa. I have found, for the most part, the folks on Greek Chat to be absolutely wonderful.

you can edit posts without it showing edited. It happens all the time, I don't know why, it's a glitch in V-bulletin. I'm not the only one who saw it, plenty of other people did to.

Do you like being so righteous and full of yourself? And you're no better than anyone you're looking down your nose at here, because you're being just as nasty.

<<<you can edit posts without it showing edited. It happens all the time, I don't know why, it's a glitch in V-bulletin. I'm not the only one who saw it, plenty of other people did to.>>

Oh, please. You're not fooling anyone.

Can't you just admit that you read Dionysis's fake quote and mistook it for the real thing? It happens. People make mistakes. I forgive you.

Funny how everyone else saw you post it too? I can forgive you for cursing, admit it. And bitches isn't exactly that much of a curse.

Nope, it is a glitch, i've noticed on several occasions well before this. Usually occurs if you change it right after. http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ghlight=eta%2A look at midwestern girl's post. There's no line at the bottom that says it was edited, yet it has an "ETA"- no one puts ETA unless they edited their post. There are countless others, but it takes awhile to search through because "eta" is only 3 letters so you have to put the asterick, and it's also a greek letter and part of the greek letters zeta and theta.

How generous of you to forgive me for something I didn't do. Does that make you feel Christian?

The more you keep talking the crazier you look :)

Keep trying. Remember.. if you repeat a lie enough times you'll begin to believe it. Have a nice day! :)

guess you have a lot of experience in that!

have a great day too!

lol

Okay, Okay, Okay people, I want to close this thread now. It has become a bash fest! Thank you everyone for your insight, but I think this thread needs to be put to rest.

Grow up GC'ers. Lighten up! I realized very recently, why waste your time on something that is not going to benefit you in the long run?



Update: my boyfriend and I are working things out. We both agreed that when I leave for Tampa, we are going to think about what we want, and come back and share our thoughts.

Thanks again, everyone! But please, try not to get off the tread topic at hand. :p

This thread has run its course.
