Glenn was actually a decent guy for Julia


Sure Glenn was a bit of a jerk cheating on Juilia and him insulting Julia's gal pal etc but he was actually a decent guy with a good job and and nice clothes and a better group of friends.

Thats my opinion while Robbie was going nowhere since he was a wedding singer singing the same songs over and over and living with his sister and his odd brother in law

No doubt. In fact Robbie should’ve stayed with whatsherface, his first girlfriend. She was hot.

Oh, here we go, the old elitist patriarchal capitalist BS about a guy with lots of money and a 'good' job (i.e. most likely a job where he's screwing loads of people over, like a corporate banker) and expensive clothes, is better than someone who doesn't cheat and actually treats women with a modicum of respect.

No wonder this world is so utterly f***ed with that kind of attitude. Glenn was a controlling a-hole who put his own needs before Julia's. I could easily see him becoming an abusive husband who, if not physically abusive, would psychologically control Julia by constantly belittling and gaslighting her.

Doesnt matter if Glen had money. Its that he had a better job than Robbie. Plus Glen had his faults such as cheating on Julia but people cheat on others all the damn time.

Robbie's so called friends were bunch of weirdos and creeps. Glen's friends were at least normal.

so what if Glen was an ahole. While he was cheating etc, at least he did care about Julia.

No, Glen was an asshole, who'd make a thoughtless, indifferent, psychologically abusive, financially controlling husband, who'd eventually dump his wife without a cent when one of his side pieces got pregnant. She's absolutely better off with a shitty job and a boyfriend who's genuinely nice, even if he is a bit of a loser.

Because Robbie isn't husband material, either. He's the guy you enjoy life with for a while and remain friends with after you break up, and marry someone else.

I find it sad that you consider jerks and assholes to be "normal".

No, he wasn't. He was a cheating, untrustworthy bastard who no doubt would only worsen as soon as they got married. It's a pattern with people like that. She definitely traded way up when she married Robby, even though he wasn't loaded down with cash. Glen was a piece of shit.

reply

Well,thats your opinion man.

If you think a wedding singer living with his sister is a better choice than a guy like Glenn who has a good job whatever it is,then you go marry Robbie

It's funny. Glenn may have been a jerk-off, but he's so getting a load of money after suing the airline for assaulting him!
