Story 2: You know, if there's a warrant out for her arrest, shouldn't she be like... y'know, try to lay low instead of causing trouble and going out with her boyfriend? Plus, she is even lying to the police too? Wow, this girl is asking to be arrested.

[QuayHollywood]

She's not even a squatter, she's an intruder. There's a certain time frame a person has to reside in a home in order to claim squatters rights. A week is not it.

Last story: I was laughing so much at this story, but I do have sympathy because it sounds so embarrassing.

2nd story.. you keep calling the police until they DO ... THEIR... JOB. It is not a civil matter, she hasn't been there long enough to establish any utilities, or recieve mail, shes an overnight guest who overstayed her welcome. Shes tresspassing, shes not a tenant. Report it as a burglary if you have to to get their attention.

The first story is honestly quite beautiful, in a sad way. Not excusing the ex fiancé's actions by any means, what he did to OP was traumatizing. But them both being able to acknowledge what happened, emotionally grow from it, and move on in a healthy way in the end is something I feel we don't see a lot. OP was incredibly brave, she didn't have to take a chance reopening that wound and meeting with him, but she did and was able to find closure. And it sounds like he was as well.

The 3rd story feels like the kind of story that would end in “so now we’re married”

[Kat-V]

I love the last story! Goofing off with friends and saying something extreme that you didn't really mean is relatable and the guy had a really good reaction

[trashnyc]

Girl he winked at you and LEFT THE DOOR OPEN, he was OBVIOUSLY into you, c’mon, even I’m not THAT oblivious 😂

[papermintairplane]

Oh my God that last story was so cute and I'm glad it ended well but if that had happened to me, I'd have dropped out of society to become a cave hermit immediately.

[austinclements]

i feel like communicating the whole situation would've pretty much solved the entire problem in story 1, why lead her on for a week and make those people waste their time and embarass your finance

[hazybubblegum]

Story one: good on her for being emotionally mature and I’m glad she was able to get closure and accept closure no matter how it looked. Most of the time when people give us an answer if it’s not the answer we want to hear or expect we don’t accept the answer. And I’m glad she was able to not be stuck in that mentality of not accepting things we don’t wanna hear. Very mature op I’m Happy for her

[ThoughtfulPotato]

That last story is so adorable!!! OP I hope you guys end up together for the long haul and someday, get to tell this story at your 50th anniversary or something!

[TJDious]

OP2: "Civil matter" my ass. That's criminal trespass. Less than a week of squatting does not establish tenancy.

[KagemaruHitokiri]

Story 1, while mental health is never an *excuse* for mistreating someone, it can explain it. If OP's ex was diagnosed with PTSD and related avoidance problems, it seems that the obvious assumption is that he didn't communicate because of those issues.
I imagine he felt terrible once he processed what he did, and much worse for the one mistake he could have handled correctly. OP did nothing wrong and deserves the sympathy, and I'm glad she let her ex mend fences before parting ways, they both needed it.

Story 3: I appreciate a feel good romance story. I was smiling and laughing the whole time! It's like I was reading a romance novel.

[Ahrpigi]

Story 1: finding real closure and being able to look back at happy memories with an ex while being ok that it's over is the best case scenario for any breakup. I'm really happy for OP, and for both of them getting help healing and growing as people.

[thecraziestcrayon]

that last story is total romcom material. I would've had a panic attack of sheer embarrassment, but it was an adorable story

[emmabemmaboo]

In the final story, I was hoping they got together. When it reached the 1 month anniversary, I cheered! That story is super cute and wacky!!

[SappyDuder]

Story 1: I honestly like this one. They both grew as people, Derek was between a rock and a hard place and handled things in not the best way, but he tried to make it right in the end.
Story 2: how is her trespassing in OP's home a civil matter when OP isn't the one who allowed the squatter to move in? I hate the law sometimes
Story 3: this just sounds like a romance novel plot, lmao

Last story: Thank you, rSlaxh for leaving us with a wholesome story that left us rolling in the floor laughing!
