My age is showing when I mention MySpace, I know.
Long story short here.
There was this couple in high school that dated about a year. They were inseparable. So much that both cut off their friends to focus on eachother (I being one of the friends they cut out).
I remember a video they made of all of their pictures and at the end of it there was a quote – “from the first date to the last I’ll always love you”.
Now high school is way over 20 years ago.
And when I ran into him and a few of our friends from high school I mentioned if he’s still in love with that girl – keep in mind both have their families now of their own.
He got all defensive and angry about the whole situation.
AITAH for asking that?
> My age is showing when I mention MySpace, I know.
Yet the rest of the story makes you sound like someone who never grew up. What a pointless, weird thing to ask someone. Grow up.
YTA and also socially awkward.
YTA. You asked a married man if he was still in love with his ex?? Why?
Thats so offensive.
YTA
No one is the same person that they were in high school. 20 years ago, come on. I’m sure you’re the same person you were in high school, right? Except not.
Also if they both have their own families, they are clearly no longer a “thing” and asking if they were is pretty much asking if he is having an emotional affair.
That’s entirely inappropriate.
>I’m sure you’re the same person you were in high school, right? Except not.
Given their level of social awareness, they just might be. I wouldn’t expect a normal middle aged person to even wonder about this. You really have to be living in the past to bring up high school sweethearts during a chance encounter 20 years later.
YTA – you knew he married someone else and had a family. Why would you bring up an Ex? You were not “asking” anything, you knew they moved on. You were being passive aggressive and cutting him down for his over lovey teenage relationship 20 plus years ago. Let it go.
Asking when you know they’re both married with kids? Yeah that’s pretty weird.
It’s also quite weird to show someone you committed that to memory when you’re not actually friends.
Sounds like you peaked in high school.
YTA.
YTA. It’s pretty shitty to ask that question tbh, especially knowing he’s got a whole wife..
I cringed when I read this. I’m so sorry for you.
YTA
YTA, obviously. And it makes you look like you’re still jealous of a relationship from 20 years ago that has since ended.
YTA – the fact that you have to even ask this question shows what a complete and total asshole you must be.
If this was someone you had maintained a friendship with for the past 20 years and asked him this in private, then it might be funny. Otherwise, you’re just a full on asshole.
You brought up a high school relationship (that only lasted one year) 20+ years later, knowing that they aren’t together and both have families of their own?
It seems that you never really left high school.
Yes, *of course* YTA.
What the fuck
Of course YTA
YTA and sounds like you’re still butthurt they cut you out 20 years ago when you were all kids. And, it looks like they made the right call cutting you out of their lives. Lol. YIKES!
