My grandfather died. Long time coming. So many of the women at the visitation, and one guy, grilled me about being single at 30.

"I laughed and I said no. Women are too expensive so I bought a car. They didn't think it was funny."

It is funny :D

My grandpa passed about a year and a half ago and it was a big deal for my family but I definitely felt it was felt more among the men in my family than the women . The men in my family are outnumbered severly by the women so we are all pretty close .

At his funeral what really pissed me off was that everyone talked briefly about what a great man he was but more comments were about how sweet and kind my grandma is and can be . That was infuriating my Grandma can be very sweet and kind and yet even on a day where we should have been remembering and appreciating my grandpa and his impact on peoples lives she was the focus.

I was determined to get up and share say something about him and was happy I did but I almost felt compelled to talk about him as a person because so few others were . Even in his death my grandpas life and contributions almost were solely equated to the woman he married and supported .

A 54 year old dating a 28 year old is doing fine. If that's how he wants to blow his load and empty his wallet, 54 years of age is the time to do it.

What fucks men up is getting married at 30, buying a house, getting the 1.8 kids, and then having the whole thing blow up by 38, lose everything, no custody, chained to alimony / child support for the rest of your life, no hope to recuperate.

That's bullshit.

My ex made my grandpa's funeral about herself.

Yes, really.

He had a brain stroke one night, my mom and dad called me to help after they called the emergency hotline. I ended up giving him CPR for half an hour before the emergency services showed up and pronounced him dead. It's alright, they probably couldn't have done much anyway. He was almost 90 years old.

Because of the adrenaline and exhaustion due to giving CPR, I didn't cry. I just felt numb during the two days until the funeral.

After we put him in the ground and were walking back to the car, I just broke. I went ahead alone and started crying uncontrollably.

A month later I broke up with my ex because she was cheating on me. And during the break up talk (which was way too short than I would have liked back then for 7 years of relationship - now, if I could turn back time I'd ghost her) she said "I knew our relationship was dead when you walked away from me during your grandpa's funeral instead of letting me comfort you". She never tried comforting me during the funeral, of course.

Heartless bitch. I'm so glad I'm rid of her.

Sorry to hear about your Grandpa. RIP Grandpa Jim.

Say that you have an ailment that every time you get a boner you leak faecal matter and therefore can't get a girlfriend. They will get so disgusted that they won't bother you again. Or just straight up say that you're gay.

2018-05-04T15:44:56+00:00

your family is shallow. best to ghost them.

Million-Suns · 2018-05-04T13:27:52+00:00

Oh yeah. The guy. I hadn't seen him in probably 18 years. He told me I need to find a nice girl.

And I would have said louder, that he needs to mind his own business. And how dares he corrupt my grandpa's funeral with shallow stuff like that.

That would have shift the blame onto him and shut him up for a while. Use their own weapons against them if you are forced to play. Best way to win is not to play however.

imgoinggoinggone · 2018-05-04T12:59:18+00:00

If these people are shaming you about your social life you need to either ghost them or set some boundaries. It's not healthy.

bobsnavitch · 2018-05-04T14:48:56+00:00

My condolences. What kind of car did you buy, just out of curiosity?

imgoinggoinggone · 2018-05-04T16:27:36+00:00

"We've been expecting his passing for almost two years. It sucks, but he fought a lot longer than anyone expected."

So, he was a good fighter. Respect to your grandfather.

deeptimeswimmer · 2018-05-04T20:59:29+00:00

Dude. Let me explain why they were giving you shit; It might help things.

When a respected, established member of the family dies, there is a human instinct in older people to make sure that life will continue, even if their time is drawing to its close. So, they find the nearest baby and pay attention to him/her. If there isn't onethey start kvetching at the young members of the clan to get busy and make babies.

Now, imagine how their genes make them feel If the young people arent even trying to mate/procreate!

treble-n-bass · 2018-05-05T06:14:04+00:00

REALLY??? Couldn't they even grieve and let you grieve and reflect without bringing up this crap??? OP, I'm so sorry for your loss. This sub is the right place to be if you want to vent about things such as this. Wishing you peace and strength, brother.

Edit: Oh, and congrats on the new wheels.

Slaide · 2018-05-04T15:09:51+00:00

When they had their RBF at your comment, you should have pointed at them and said: "see, those faces, that kind of reaction of being told "no," is exactly what I don't want to deal with."

SirNecroKnight · 2018-05-04T15:33:12+00:00

They're just mad because all the money that could be going to some undeserving whorerag is going to you instead. Bravo my good sir!

2018-05-04T16:00:36+00:00

He told me I need to find a nice girl.

Sounds like the beginning of an Indiana Jones movie.

The trads and the feminists are getting scared that society will collapse because of MGTOW.

mig247 · 2018-05-05T02:32:08+00:00

You prolly look depressed or something.

2018-05-05T04:14:52+00:00

Just tell the 54 year old you're following in his footsteps and your "nice girl" is only 4 years old so you will have to wait for a little while longer.
