With that level of insecurity, no marriage of his will last. Who dodged the bullet again?

I agree, although when someone posts something so personal and emotional like this on a huge social media site looking for attention or affirmation, they are probably still too immature for an adult relationship.

    The point isn't to get advice, it's to get attention and sympathy. She wants people to tell her she's right and he's wrong.

    Because people don't have real friends any more.

    They spend all day scrolling through reddit chatting bs then when something big happens to them that's the first place they turn without thinking.

    And another aspect is a lot of people read these relationship subs with real jealousy. They are bored and wish they had something as interesting going in in their lives. Then when something bad does happen they are straight online to post it to show they are interesting too, please look at me.

    Not to mention their lack of any real life experience. They're kids.

    And bots.

    Maybe. Taking advice from internet strangers is a gamble, as they aren't aware of the situation's finer details, and the only means to judge wisdom and character is by their posting style. Yet she's probably looking to vent too, and airing such private details about a fiancé to mutual friends would be a graver mistake. So at least it was anonymously posted and not some Facebook freak out. If it were me, I would have confided in my friends only, the few I trust with secrets.

    Good points.

    insecurity

    She withheld sex from him and he discovered she had plenty of sex with others. He realized he was going to end up with a dried up cow and decided to be rational and get rid of her. That doesn't sound insecure at all.
