Woman Chooses Career Over Boyfriend When She Finds Out He Wants a ‘Traditional’ Family, She Awkwardly Runs Into Him Years Later to Find Out He’s Engaged, But Still Holds a Grudge

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It's 2024, many pedestals of tradition have been dismantled in the past decade. The younger generations are deciding they don't agree with certain standards, stereotypes, or systems that were once in place for society to adhere to. Through the evolution of humanity, it makes sense that we would go through these ebbs and flows of social navigation. Traditional views on marriage and relationships are a cornerstone of the fluctuations in modern society, and the story below is a perfect example of that. 

In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who had broken up with her college boyfriend years ago. She was moving abroad for her career, and felt their relationship wasn't in the right place anyway. She firmly believes she made the right decision, but has guilt about the way she did it. Years later, she runs into her ex and finds out he's engaged, but he's far from being over their breakup.
