I woke up last Friday to a picture message on my phone from Hanna. Half awake and with blurry vision I opened the message to see a screen grab from Nick’s facebook profile page. His status read Nick is getting married; believe it or not... it’s true. The only words that came into my head at that moment were “shut. up.”
This is new territory for me; I’ve never known anyone that I’ve ever dated to be engaged or even to be in any sort of serious relationship at all actually. The fact of the matter is, even though the guys I date are several years older than me, they all have one thing in common – they’re commitment-phobe sociopaths.
I prefer them this way. The fear of commitment is fine with me, because I don’t want to be in a serious relationship just as much as they don’t (it really gets in the way of my dating life) and the sociopath part, well that’s just pure entertainment.
But Nick engaged... really? After the initial shock the next thought that popped into my head was “Thank. God. I dodged that bullet” (fyi – When I thank God, I’m actually thanking the God of Fashion and Shoes – whom to my dismay was never given any credit in religion class. Who do you think dressed Eve after she was tossed out of Eden? Hmmmm?).
Anyways, Nick is not someone I pictured getting married, with his pathological lying and his misogynistic ways I didn’t think there would be anyone who would actually say yes.
Funny thing is she’s from another country which opened up doors for all kinds of jokes about how she’s just doing it to get into Canada. I texted my best friend Steph to tell her and her simple response back was “desp for a green card hahaha”.
As I sit in the spot where I once trapped Nick and caught him lying to my face (oh the memories...), I felt it necessary to write a blog post about this momentous step in his life. I can only hope that his new fiancé has more luck with him than I did, and perhaps that she doesn’t catch on to his lying - because ignorance really is marital bliss.
