She hasn't seen him in 11 years... and when she did some searching she found out he had died in 2013. It really surprised me that her first reaction was to laugh and seemed happy. Is this normal?
Well, at least his parting gift to her was a moment of joy.
People can get incredibly sanctimonious about death, and never speaking ill of the dead. In fact, some people are just assholes, and they demonstrate very clearly over and over through their lives that they're literally a waste of oxygen. Why not enjoy a moment of pleasure when someone like that finally fucks-off for good?
There are people that have threatened me in the past. I have felt happy learning they were dead. For closure, I actually pissed on one guy's grave. God, was he ever a monster.
I'm hoping to live longer than the predator who raped me and fantasise about going to his funeral
Damn. I'm sorry that happened to you. Hopefully justice will be served through karma.
It's very possible for a rape to happen but for there not to be enough evidence to prove that it was rape. In that case, the offender can't be punished, but it's still rape.
People love to pretend that proven legal guilt is the same as personal responsibility. If you're not sure whether someone has given consent and you carry on anyway, then you raped them. (If that describes anyone reading this, it's okay to feel emotional about this fact, everyone makes mistakes, but the important thing is not to do it again. Ever.)
Nup, but there are lots of reasons why cops don't charge men accused of rape, didn't you realise that? Most women don't report it, in most cases when it is reported no charge is laid so it never gets to court.
I'm sure the fact that I was having a fling with him and this was how he ended the relationship didn't go in my favour also that cops don't like bringing charges unless they reckon there's a good chance of getting a conviction and it would've been his word against mine.
This was years ago now and with lots of good counselling I'm fairly ok with it most of the time.
I dunno why, but after I read this I immediately thought dump on his grave... meh.
Probably a bit of her past she never truly got over, and with his death comes closure.
Did she yell “Freedom” at the top of her lungs like Mel Gibson in Braveheart?
its obvious she was not getting alimony , or child support. or she would have cried.
Normal.
IF.
I ever find the grave of a couple of specific people that altered my life.
I will disrespect their headstone.
Laugh, and feel relief.
Only nice people deserve to be fondly remembered and respected.
Isn't forgiveness the ultimate form of empowerment?
Don't het me wrong... I would never take what happened away from you, but you can tale the power away from the people who wronged you by forgiving them.
If you want to discuss this further, feel free to private me$age me.
Sorry, but.
no.
I forgive unintentional harm.
If you set out, or allow yourself to go along with the idea of ruining someones life.
Ill never forgive you.
I moved just to be sure I would never see you.
if I ever did.
it would not end well.
vengeance is mine saith thy lord. the fact that he died has little bearing on how she felt about it. life its short for everyone , but its shortest for those that dont live it. for they are already dead. dont be the dead.
I was bullied in school and if I found out the bullies were dead I would feel a rush of joy to be honest. Memories of what they did to me will never leave me even though it was minor compared to bullying these days.
Most women are spiteful bitches anyways. Completely normal for todays modern woman. Notice I said most. Not all.
You have two ways to discover if this is normal or not.
1) Ask her about it
2) Deduce from her behaviour if she's evil or not. If yes, you're in big trouble; if not, that's a strong clue he was evil (or both). Can't imagine a positive scenario for both with this outcome.
I laugh when something awful happens, no idea why.
I'm assuming he was a dick though
It is, in a sense, regardless of what he was like. People watch horror movies, death videos, etc. Not to mention some people love hunting and killing deer. Assuming she is happy now and much removed from the years she was with him, it's easy for a lot of people to write something like that off. We are slightly desensitized.
I'm sure she'll think about it at a deeper level here and there but people break up and move on for a reason. I don't know your wife but she might also not want to think about it or make it a topic between the two of you. It would be much weirder if they were best friends who grew up together or relatives.
Does not matter, whenever someone assaults regardless of the severity they are scumfuck!
I don't think he ever hit her. It just strikes me as a strange reaction to the news that someone you were with for 8 years had died. I have an ex that I would once have,loved to shoot, but when she actually did get shot, I certainly wasn't laughing about it. I felt sorry for the people she left behind and the woman who went to prison for murder.
I am gutted by seeing how everyone is responding to this.
It is normal in that laughter is often a nervous response to a stressful situation.
The reprehensible lack of empathy exhibited by these users is not normal. And as for your wife I assume it was stressful and not actually joyous.
Me too. Im,with you that it was probably (hopefully) a nervous reaction to the news. It kind of brings me down that so many of the responses were a bit cold. Abusive or not, no moral or ethical person should take joy in a human being dying.
A lot of lonely aging people on this site, and they say shocking things to get attention. Its sad, its why I don't really use this site any more.
I do. I want my former stepdad to die he's pathetic now! He lost his job cause of his ignorance. He abused me for years, fuck him.
