sooooo...the EX came into my place of work this afternoon....and told me how much he missed me...and how beautiful i looked....even tried to hug me....and my response was..."yes, it is payday james....and no, you can't have a dime of my hard earned money no matter how falsely flattering you try to be....or how tragically handsome you look."....he then pretended to be hurt by my callousness and departed *eyerolls*
every time i see him i think ...........8 years of my life..................wasted.....................
i wanted so badly to cry
but i just numbed myself and ..........went about my day as usual.........................................i'm pretty sure i'm over him...but to see what he has become(or was all along) is just painful....
and what i did to myself bc of him
....is nothing short of tragic

It's pretty amazing that you recognized this and got out of it. Think about how many people stay in these horrible relationships for the rest of their lives! Good for you.

I think you owned him so much with this answer! :laugh: That's great.
Eh, we all make mistakes, big or small. You can be whoever you want to be now...0 -
Wow, the guy came to your place of work to ponce some money??? How classy!!! :huh:
Well rid honey!! Look at the 8 years as a learning curve and experience of life. Remember the good times (as there must have been some in the beginning) and learn from the bad times.... :flowerforyou:0 -
I'm so proud of you for your reaction to this pathetic attempt at using you again!
Way to say NO! {{{{{{bighugsforyou}}}}}}}
Don't look at it as wasting eight years of your life.. look at it as freeing yourself for the rest of your life!0 -

So true!!!0 -
Ugh -- that's just wrong. However, this is why I moved and put a lot of miles between my ex and I. Did not want to see the man. Best move I ever made.0

Ugh... what a bum. Next time he comes to your place of work, call security.0

Not a waste..... When you love someone you see the best in them. A realistic appraisal is often only possible when you have begun to fall out of love. What makes some people able to sustain the feelings while others wake up to the reality of a destructive relationship? It's often the degree to which the fall out damages our view of ourselves. The self preservation instinct kicks in. It's a process, one that many of us have gone through, so please don't blame yourself for having been unable to prevent it. Some things in life you have to learn the hard way. Yes, it is sad, but it's over and your life will now be much happier in future for having learned this difficult life lesson.0 -
Go you for realising that he isn't worth your time anymore. My ex husband is similar and sees himself as the victirm - I can finally see how charming he was when we were together, except now I don't fall for it anymore - and neither do you
Good on you for not giving in to his charms!0 -
