The Ex Files

Because texting your ex is a bad idea. Calling your ex for any reason is a bad idea. Drunk-dialing and drunk-texting are especially bad ideas. But you have to do something, and you're driving your friends nuts.

Hence, The Ex-Files. Not really a journal of breaking up and moving on, but a collection of the things you think when you drive by an ex's house and the car's not home, the way you feel when they don't call when they say they will, the things you want to ask or say or scream or carve into their car doors. The things that you have to say but are better left unsaid. This is the place.

Yes. I Googled...

…The Ex. 

We were both obviously moving on T-Gd but I don’t know what happened. I mean, I do know. Anyway, I have something I think I need to say to him but I know I should just keep it to myself and keep moving on. *sigh*

Oh well I guess.

WHY do all the guys on The Hills and The City remind me of my ex? (Except the Australians). Oh right, because they’re all hot, rich, bland and generic. Guys like that are like catnip for me. Vom.

The City

I hate to admit that I”m actually watching it but I am and it reminds me of The Ex SO MUCH. Haven’t posted in awhile b/c haven’t had much to say to or about him, which is good, but this episode of The City is like watching the entire shit of us breaking up b./c of him cheating all over again. When the guys are having a boys night out and it veers into boys and girls night in. And then Jay giving his friend a heads up that he needs to tell his gf before someone else did, that totally hapened in our situation. They told him he needed to break it off with me before I found out. And then the guy’s facial expressions were DEAD ON THE SAME as my ex’s. Same sketchy sideways looks and hoping she doesn’t claw his eyes out. And then the poor girl being like “This isn’t just some little relationship; this is the real deal.” Yeah, been there. And her trying not to cry when her “friends” are telling her the truth, and her confronting him and him acting sort of sorry and admitting he was wrong but not really meaning it. But on tv, he still wanted to be with her. And they kiss and don’t really make up so there’s more drama later. I liked the Hills better, it didn’t remind me of shit times in my own life.

I try to talk to you, but I don’t know what to say. I am afraid you don’t want me to say anything. So I don’t. But inside of me there are words waiting to come out.And tell you how I feel-like how I miss you. And how I love you despite my broken heart.And how I need you in my life. And especially how much I want you.But those words may forever stay in my heart-locked inside.Sometimes I wonder if there are words locked inside you too… but I’ll never know.

Ok really, I do know that you don’t have all those things locked inside you. But I wish you did.

Are You Kidding Me???

The Ex used to always say the above, emphasising you and me. Never, you’ve got to be kidding me, like I would say. Like I just said to myself when I reached for the phone and caught a glimpse of the back of his car driving past outside AGAIN. Are you kidding me?? No. It was just the back of the car, but it was distinguishable. I wasn’t even looking out the window this time!!!! And it wasn’t the same time of day as yesterday so I can’t even be accused of watching to see if he’d go by. 2 sightings on 2 consecutive days is 2 much. No, I’m not kidding you.

BAD TIMING

The Ex just drove by. This is what I get for taking the afternoon off to work from home and then for staring out the window instead of doing work. He had the puppy in the care too. jOnly good thing is that I didn’t go running down the street after them.

I broke down in tears today when my friend was gushing about her anniversary with her boyfriend (soon to be fiance) because my anniversary with The Ex would’ve been last week. And I really thought I’d be getting a ring right about now.

Even though I know I’m destined for better things (see post below), I still have some bad days. It’s hard to trust that everything will be okay and that you’ll move on and be happy when you feel so fucking alone.

Onward and upward.

playnice:

Thank God you’re not still with any of your exs. They were an important part of your growth process and now you’ve out grown them.

Today remind yourself: Onward and upward.
