Get out clause

Today, my superstitious girlfriend of 4 years sneezed in the middle of my proposal. She claimed it was a sign from the universe for us to break up and then immediately left. FML

I understand everyone has their beliefs but this just seems like she was fishing for an excuse to dump you ...

It must hurt when you waste 4 years of your life with a girl who does not want to marry you. She's either crazy or superstitious, or both, crazy superstitious or superstitiously crazy. Either one, I empathize you. Good luck on finding another.

Firstly, its not a waste of time, he probably had loads of fun while he was with her. Secondly, OP cleary said she is superstitious, you don't need to let him know she was "probably superstitious".

wouldn't crazy superstitious and superstitiously crazy be the same thing?

She sounds a little weird... I'd cut her loose... if she is going to throw away a future with you because of a sneeze, then she is not worth it.

She already cut him loose though so he has to take time to reflect and recover. It must be devastating to be with someone you love so much that you'd spend the rest if your life with them and they walk out in you.

in sickness and health? Naw man scratch that first one

I don't know if this is gonna be any comfort for you OP but it looks like she wasn't gonna say yes and leave anyway and this was a cheap excuse to dump you. Either that or she truly believes that a sneeze should determine her fate and in that case, you saved yourself a lot of troubles in the future (imagine taking all your life big decisions like having kids, getting house, etc with someone who can be swayed so easily by something that trivial). 4 years is a long time, especially if you were planning to spend your life with her. I feel your pain. Hope you'll get over it soon enough.

Well a marriage with someone that puts such emphasis in the most random and coincidental events would have been really tiring in the long run, anyway....

Could be for the best.. Next time she might sneeze through sex and that'll never happen again either..

Yeah, I think you dodged the bullet there.

Four years, though? That's one slow-moving bullet -- I'm imagining the Keanu Reeves bullet-dodging scene in The Matrix.

OP- YDI for spending 4 years with a whack-job GF- Pick yourself up, dust off and go find someone who's not nuts!!

I don't want to be insensitive but you probably dodged a bullet there. She sounds like a whackjob.

Damn, I feel sorry for you.. With that said: LOOL, doesn't sound like you lost much :)
