Check this out: Got Dumped? Get Paid!
Loading ...I’m sorry. This is just…wrong. I’m in the wedding business, so I’ve seen more than a few weddings get cancelled, and I’ve had to hold the hands of some grief-stricken brides. I’m a woman, so I can sympathize with the sista. But…gettin’ paid for gettin’ dumped? This is a can of worms. Can you see it?
I have a cousin, who married a woman who resided in a different state, during their courtship. Obviously, it was a long distance courtship, and this woman has a daughter from a previous relationship (not marriage). She gave notice to her job, shortly after becoming ENGAGED, and went through a very lengthy process of setting up a life, in her fiance’s neck of the woods. She’s a better one than me, cuz I would have never started uprooting my life, on the…promise of marriage. No way. I would have taken some vacation time, and if everything panned out, I would have given my employer notice. If not, I would have showed up at work, bright and early, that Monday after the wedding was supposed to take place. I’ve seen too much. Can’t go out like that. 
On the real — relationships are risky. How much risk one takes is a personal decision. Folks need to be a lot more cautious and stay awake, during the whole courtship process. Women (yes, I said “women”) get real caught up in the wedding plans, and don’t pay much attention to the relationship and what’s going on. Yes, there’s the rare brides-to-be, who get no clues that something’s not quite right, but a whole lot choose to see right past the obvious. Which bride-to-be was she? I wonder.
Was dude a jerk? Oh, most definitely. But there’s more than one side to the mess. A woman, in this day and time with things the way they are, who would give up her good-paying job and uproot her life, on a dude’s promise to marry her is just…crazy — and bird’s of a feather do really flock together. Plus, after the media exposure, don’t be surprised if the eligible single guys avoid her, like the plague.
He messed up when he left her a $5,000 check. My heart is not worth more than 5,000 dollars? I know that would have made me very angry. That’s probably why she sued him. She started thinking about it and got mad.
Yep, I thought that too!
I just don’t want this setting a precedent. When you agree to marry someone, you also know that it may not pan out, right? How many women AND men have been left at the altar? Lots, I’m sure.
