Of all the dickest moves you could make this was the dickest of dick moves, seriously you'll be lucky if girl 1 doesn't get all her male friends to take turns kicking you in the nads. Just leave girl 1 alone and grow up.

I got my kids passports by the time they were two because sometimes opportunity pop up and the effort it takes to get a passport quickly (I’ve done it) is stress-inducing. But I’d be concerned if she’s not generally a traveler. Children don’t need an ID even to fly domestically so the only reason you need a passport is to leave the country or to just feel cool that you have one.
Other countries say you should carry a notarized letter from the other parent when traveling alone with a child but I was only once ever asked for it and that was in Canada.

I won't lie, you Americans are something else.

Like bruh, being from Australia, I literally can't go anywhere without a passport. It's just standard to have a passport for your child and renew it when it expires. People not having a passport is literally not a thing, bar the handful of people who are like "I will never leave the country guaranteed".

Lots of people with dual citizenship. Also lots of ways to stay abroad for a long time/indefenitely. Can go from place to place on temporary/visitor's VISAs. They might also have a "friend" in a certain country that can marry them, etc.

The threat of taking a child and leaving the country is a common one in divorce/domestic abuse situations.

This was registered 58 times in the Netherlands last year. If a parent decides to take their child somewere, noone is gonna stop them. Usually the parent has a double nationality, so the other country won't send them back.

Haute cuisine is a minimum of 7 courses (dessert is one of the 7) but Escoffier, who invented haute cuisine, defined it as 17 courses. Making your guests wait through 7 -17 courses is almost as bad as not feeding them enough.

Have the haute cuisine in a buffet where servers dish up the correct servings. Putting 16 small servings is going to fill a plate quite full. 17th is wedding cake or cupcake.

Best out of it tbh. You've not mentioned any issues with girl 1 and you left her to be with girl 2, which means you didn't want to be with her.

You're probably looking back and only remembering the good things rather than why you wanted to leave her.
