Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for August 28, 2012
Transcript:
Cathy: Why would an ex-boyfriend invite me to his wedding? What's the ulterior motive......The secret agenda?! Charlene: How did your relationship end? Cathy: I told him I hoped we could always be friends, and that he'd be happy. Charlene: Maybe he invited you because you're a friend and he wants you to see that he's happy. Cathy: Men are just sick.

Yeah, how DARE they?? How dare men actually listen to a woman and do what they say? Well… what I should say is how dare a man actually listen to CATHY and do what she says and expect a reasonable reaction?

She knows that she doesn’t HAVE to go right? Its an invitation, not a summons!

Nuh uh. I’m rubb . . . uh, I guess I already been there / done that. Who was that masked man at 2:00 a.m.?
Morning Susan and lightenup Afternoon Bronzepony and AnonaMona. Hope all is well. LMB and I have been over at GWU to visit friends who are back after the summer. Except for the million weeks that Billy and I were apart, summer sure did go by.
hi mom! :-Dncalifgirl58 about 12 years ago
He’s happy and she’s not. That’s rubbing it in all right. Good morning all. Hope your day is great!

I can’t remember who said it, but I remember once reading that “ex-lovers make the best kind of friends”. It’s certainly a happier end to a relationship than wanting never to speak to them again!
So, Cathy – take it as a warm compliment that he wants a friend to share his happiness on this big day in his life. Either go or don’t – depending on the wardrobe – but thank him with a smile, and wish him well for the future.
Might be an idea not to chat for long with the new bride, though.

She’s so neurotic….

If Cathy would put herself in his shoes, I bet she’d admit that she would invite old boyfriends to HER wedding. Alex’s invitation may actually be purely a friendship thing, but hers wouldn’t be! Afternoon, Cathy clan!

I’ve been called worse. I’d rather be just sick then a beloved little nut job. Well, maybe. That deserves a day to contemplate.
Hockey time. LMB can finally join me in the penalty box. Rah! Life is gooooood! :-D

Hi rest of the Cathyites!! “Men are just sick” because they want to be friends and want you to be happy?!? That’s pretty nutty alright!! I think she’s probably just acting out how nervous any of us would be if an old boy/girlfriend asked us to their wedding when we hadn’t seen them in years. I bet it’s a bit of a shockeroonie.

Yup—I called this one before loading the comic page today …
[Eye-roll]
(Begin creepy echoing voice)
“… visible from outer spaaaace!” :D
P.S. And after rereading the comic just now, I notice that Cathy joined me—in both panels one and four!
