[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah. This brings back memories. Of the BF's dad and stepmom who warned him that I was "a nobody" who was "beautiful but going nowhere." The bf was selling houses (new home sales, didn't even have a realtor's license) for context.

I was trying to figure out what to do in my late 20s and was modeling a tiny bit (I never got much work, but got some) and cocktail waitressing in a club on weekends. After he broke up with me I ended up going to law school, have had an amazing career, and made a lot of money. He's now divorced from a woman he met at a Pizza Hut and has had a string of long-term GFs since, none of them particularly impressive career-wise. I follow it on FB and laugh.

Except if he hadn’t broken up with you and I guess you might have married him, you probably would never have become a lawyer.[/b]

Not sure what the moral of your story is.

It seems like OP’s son breaking off the engagement is the best thing that can happen to this girl.[/quote]

What? Of course I would have become a lawyer. I was a champion debater in high school -- it was kind of inevitable. [/quote]

If you had married this guy you would have gone to law school?  Doesn’t sound like he would have been too supportive.

Your story just doesn’t apply here…you and this guy were never going to stay together nor were you engaged.[/quote]
