The rant about your ex thread - Page 3

Went out with my ex for almost three years. He was in a fraternity, so we were the stereotypical greek couple. It was nice dating a Greek because he understood. Only two years into our relationship, we were talking about people who get their signifigant others' name tattooed. He said he wanted to get my name on his arm. I thought he was kidding. He wasn't. He surprised me the next day with the Chinese symbol for love on his arm with my name running vertically down the side of it. I freaked out. He kept asking me when I was going to get his name, and I told him I wasn't planning on getting anymore tattoos.

Then, I found out that he was planning on proposing to me at their formal and got really nervous. I realized that I loved him, but as a friend. We broke up and it's been four years. Needless to say, he got my name covered up.

I actually ran into some of his fraternity brothers at a club last weekend. It was fun catching up. Supposedly, he was supposed to be there too, but flaked at the last minute. It would have been a little awkward to see him, but it would have been nice. He was such a huge part of my life for three years and it's weird that we don't know each other anymore. We've both moved on and maybe one day we'll be able to be friends again.

This is my ex with his new GF. It's a small picture, but that dragon used to be my name...

Oh, I hate it when they won't give stuff back.

One guy kept a U2 CD that I let him borrow. He didn't really like it, but he kept it because, as he put it, it was "only fair" since I didn't take him to formal. (Long story.) All right...

I left my high school ring in another guy's dorm room, and I think he lost it and won't admit to it even though it's been about 3 years ago.

Why do people not want to return things that belong to their exes? I would think you wouldn't want that stuff sitting around.

I don't exactly "want" to keep things from exes, but sometimes there is just no good occasion to give it back in a tactful manner and you end up with a few things. I have some tupperware from my most recent ex, which I would be glad to give back but I can't really just call him up and say "I know we aren't talking right now because we need a bit of space before we can go back to being friends, but can I swing your tupperware by?" By the time we are friends again (hopefully sooner rather than later - but we need to get some distance from the emotions), it would be weird to bring it up, thus I have inherited the tupperware.

As for guys clothes, again, I don't keep them on purpose. But it is kind of nice to have them to snuggle in when you are sad right after the breakup and they are nice for reminiscing later. Plus, guys clothes are just damn (can I say that word here?) comfortable!!!

Stop shacking all the time and you will stop losing things at the Guys' places.

OK today I decided my ex boyfriend SUCKS big time and needs anger management. Not only did he act like a complete bastard to me when I saw him at a bar last night, then he had the nerve to pick a fight with me in the middle of the stupid place. And when I walked away and went over to talk to some friends and this guy that I sometimes date/really like he got so angry that he threw his BEER BOTTLE over towards us and it shattered right by our feet. OK PSYCHO, clearly that is the BEST way to win my heart again.

My ex is pretty crazy--and spending time with her freshman year is what kept me away from Greek life just because I wasn't on campus much and she has little social intelligence.
But no matter that now, cuz being on campus and involved with Greek life has shown me the wonderful world of Chi Omega.

It's late so this is the perfect thread for me since I'm in a feeling-sorry-for-myself kinda mood:

My ex sweated me for a good solid year after we broke up. It was agonizing at the time but it also gave me that feeling of, you know, I know if I need to feel better about myself he will be the one to make it happen. Then all of a sudden, the 20 messages a day on the answering machine stopped! For a while, I knew I could call him out of the blue and say "what's up" and hear him go on and on about how he missed me and how he isn't with anyone and all that and I could tease him just to pass the time along till I met someone else. Then one day my sister went out with friends and called me to tell me that she saw him with some chick

So, now when I'm feeling down and bored and unwanted (like tonite) I can't call him because his mind is no longer preoccupied with me! I am so upset. Who told him he could actually move on? Who does he think he is???!!!

I saw my ex at a bar last night and, though we've been friendly lately, he wouldn't even look at me. Asshole.

James · #40 04-25-2004, 12:38 PM

That is so twisted. Normal. But wickedly twisted.

I haven't shacked for a long, long time, thank you.

I know the giving-stuff-back thing is awkward, but come on...when you ask for things back that you would really like to have, what kind of an a$$hole refuses? Well, my exes, apparently.

I'm really missing my U2 CD. Can I have a sit sit, ReclinaLounger?

James · #42 04-25-2004, 08:34 PM

Why in the name of God are you still talking to this guy at all? People that talk to their EX's are people that like to bring bad shit into the present with them to smell up their lives.

Think about it. You broke with this guy ages ago and he you are letting him still make you feel bad. Thats plain dumb.

Block his IM, Block his phone numbers, screen your calls.

Excorcise this demon once and for all.

I'm having one of those moments right now.

In short, dumb butt Will denies ever telling me he lied about not having a girlfriend...and then signed off. I want the last word dangit. I want to tell him RIGHT NOW, to FORGET I EVER EXISTED...and to leave me the hell alone.

Urg, she can have him...and he can have her. Losers deserve losers!

WTF? I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I know I'm a nice person, and I've apologized and apologized......I am done bending over backwards for him.

I hear ya!!! Something similar happened to me... But now that I've made the mistake I know better. Unfortunately, I got s*** about it from the guy, until he did something equally as awful (turned my girlfriend, who I was nice enough to set him up with against me). Stop talking to him! You don't need someone to sit there and put you down so they can feel better.

Done. I deleted his last e-mail that I hadn't gotten around to responding to yet......and now I never will! Shit, as previously noted, I have tried to be friendly and nice toward him, and he wouldn't even acknowledge me last night. The hell with that.
