I've decided to keep the posts about the ex off of the blog.
Now before any of you start busting my chops, I make NO apologies about writing the posts in the first place and do not feel ashamed for what I did. I exercised my right to express myself and I stand by every word with every fiber in my being.
Some of you may consider it a sign of weakness or an attempt to coddle the ex by removing the entries. Untrue. This is simply a gesture of respect...nothing more, nothing less. The posts served their purpose in helping me get over a bump in my life and move on. There was really no need to keep them posted.
Yeah, I like to rant, rave and bitch like a madman, but I know when it's time to employ rational, objective behavior. By being professional and keeping a cool head, I was able to come to an understanding with the ex. This wouldn't have been possible if I got dragged into a petty name calling contest. That never solves anything and I consider myself a problem solver.
I appreciate all the support some of you have shown me,though some of your comments were a tad tasteless and harsh, I appreciate it all the same. Thank you.
I know if some of you were in my place, you would rather burn your eye lids off rather than take down the posts, but if you allow someone to antagonize you to the point of such irrational behavior, isn't that a sign of weakness?
It's like refusing to wipe your ass because you don't want to give the toilet paper the satisfaction. Me, on the other hand would rather just wipe my ass, flush the toilet paper, wash my hands and go on my merry little way.
Anyway, it isn't open to debate, I got what I wanted, it's over and I intend to keep it that way. As I've said before, it is a final gesture of respect. The decision was MINE to make and I feel stronger for making it.
Now, I'm gonna get some sleep and prepare myself for some serious T-day gorging!!

Impressive. I've been following this situation from the beginning and you were able to do in a few days what it takes most people months to accomplish:
ReplyDeleteYou were able to deal with the intense negative emotions you were feeling and talked rationally to and come to terms with an emotionally troubled x-girlfriend in a mature and honorable fashion, despite the overwhelming pressure for you to do otherwise. That, imo makes you a stronger man and I respect the hell out of that.
Ever considered a career in sociology?

Damn you're good. For real, man you handled yourself nicely. I don't think I could've done that.
ReplyDeletedude taht could'nt have been easy talking to an ex gf that you hated! i woulda donky punched her good!!
ReplyDeletepeace.
Actually it was quite easy once tempers flared down and lines of communication were established.
ReplyDeleteWho said I hated her? It's not like she killed my family. I don't pity her or feel uncomfortable about her (anymore). I just....understand her for a lack of a better word. I have no clue how she feels, but that's irrelevant.
btw, your spelling REALLY sucks!
My stomach hurts. I think I ate too much cobbler...or maybe not enough. Let's find out!
Well at least you didn't end up being a punk ass. I commend you for sticking to your guns anyway. I know my "tasteless" comments didn't help things any, but you're my friend damn it!! Nobody screws with my big bro!! ^_^
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day!

Btw, does this mean you guys are friends now? Jus askin
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Although I've managed to salvage friendships from a lot worse situations than this, (provided they are willing to talk) I'm taking this case one day at a time.
ReplyDeleteI wish there were more guys like you around. Things got so out of control with my ex bf, I ended up putting a restraining on him and that just made things worse.
ReplyDeleteI would've LOVED it if we were able to come to an understanding like you were able to do with your ex.

I've been reading your blog for awhile and I thought you were just some funny pissed off guy who just liked to bitch about anything and everybody.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading about all this ex drama, I have to say that you've shown a completely new dimension to your personality.
I hate to say it, but I thought you would be the typical kind of pig headed, arrogant asshole who would keep the posts up and write a two page rant on the many different ways the ex could go fuck herself.
I see now that I was wrong. You solved things in a mature, intelligent and surprisingly honorable way despite the constant peer pressure for you to do the opposite.
You really are class act despite what everyone else thinks! ;)

yeah! You really are a class act!
ReplyDeleteDude if you are able to actually become friends with this chick, I will officially adopt you as my new GOD!
I'd rather get my ballz eaten by beetles than be friend with ANY of my ex-bitches!
