Today, I was talking to a colleague about love. He told me he's given up on love because things ended badly with a previous girl. I said, "Maybe it wasn't meant to be, and she wasn't the one." He then said the reason it didn't work out was because she killed herself. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Don't feel bad op, you didn't know and hopefully he understood that.

OP, there's no way you have possibly known that. Apologize and maybe take him out to a nice lunch.

You couldn't have known, don't feel bad :/

Oh good lord...that's an important tag to mention...but my gut is saying he'll try again...time will tell though

I think most people would have assumed she broke his heart. No one would have guessed she committed suicide. It must have been an awkward situation, but hopefully he will understand.

Love is just one of those subjects that most people are unrealistically positive about. He was probably tired of people telling him she just probably wasn't "the one." I sympathize with the guy.

Wow I am sorry op that's terrible! Please don't go and blame yourself tho

Wow I've heard of turning a girl gay before, but getting her to kill herself??? That's a whole different level. F that guys life man, fhl!

Wow, that's heavy. There is no way you could have known that

So you were right and she was an idiot. Both you and he need to realize it's neither of your faults and move on.

I went through a similar, but not quite the same, thing. An awesome song I found is Five Finger Death Punch - The Bleeding. If your colleague is into metal have a look at the video. Anyway, don't think you were out of line.

YDI for using such a stupid cliché.
