Still Have Anger Towards Ex

Count your blessings that it took you 50 years to meet a guy like that! And only one to boot. There are women who end up with losers over and over again.
Good luck getting the money back if you didn't have a promissory note or other paper evidence that it was a loan. Courts have tended to view exchanges between partners as gifts.
Don't be angry. Do you. Living well is the best revenge.0 -

I've never had an ex like that, but I've had my fair share of awful friends. I'm not friends with them anymore, so that's good that he's an EX. Honestly just focus on your life and improving. Show him that your life is much better without him in it. Also you're on here, so work hard to get a super banging body too!0

Time is money girl.. and you're still dropping $$ on him in the here and now. You don't need sympathy, it won't get either your $$ or your time back. Go find someone worth your time and forget the loser exists. Nothing pisses a nacist off more than moving on.0

Seriously let it go. You can either stew in the bitterness and let it make you angry and sad and frustrated or you can let it go, move on with your life. I don't say this lightly because I have been there. My ex paid no child support for the first 2 years, he demanded $50k in return for not challenging my DH and i moving out of state with DS (prior to that he would see him for about 5 hours once a fortnight). He has played disney dad for so long that he is now wondering why DS gives him attitude when it isn't constant movies, amusement parks and activities. Was I angry and upset and frustrated, yup. Have I had to let it go yup because while I'm at home being angry he was out there living it up!0

I donn't like want him back and I am not heart broke anymore but I am so angry at how I was played. He owes me a lot of money I'll never get back and makes up lies that people believe! Just was to mash his car in half! Help!
You and I live in the same state and by the sounds of it, you dated my Ex! (LOL). Seriously though, I've been through the same exact thing. The anger fades a lot with time, just give yourself that time to vent and heal, then start moving on. It's been like 3 years and I still have occasional moments of anger when an unexpected memory hits me. I just turn my thoughts to better things and get back to living.

Can I be one of your future-hated exes so I can get free money?0

Hummmm, sounds like you still have unrecoverable feelings as of now. Hopefully not unforgiveness or bitterness. I know you will not be freed overnight but try your best to RELEASE it in gym, crying, counseling etc.
It is dangerous and unwise to hold onto those type of emotions, eventually they will spill over to your environment. Friends, family, co workers etc. Let not your heart be harden.
Talk to someone and RELEASE before you do or say something you may regret.0 -
Best way to get over an x is to eat more hummus.0

There is so much love in this thread. You people are cool. (Not sarcasm)0

I was always told if you loan someone money it's best not to expect it back, because guess what, most men that borrow men from their women, aren't real men.0

Holding onto anger gives the other person an awful lot of power over your emotions. He's an *kitten* and will likely always be an *kitten*. Let him own that problem and move on. You can't give him the satisfaction of preventing you from being happy.
This hereby concludes my rare non-sarcastic post of the day. Carry on.0 -
Live better, live longer, don't attend their funeral. That's my policy on exes.0

If you are going to do something to his car, only do enough damage where the deductible won't be hit on his insurance.0

I am STILL paying for my *£!%&*$! ex...I took out loans so we could live/he could live in the pub. He didn't work and I paid all the bills...oh no! Sorry!! He paid the Virgin TV bill of £40 so thats all OK then.
Thanks I got? Debt and regular kickings and eventually being made homeless. Oh and an attempted rape. In a special place. I repaid him with a restraining order, ABH, Common Assault and Sexual Assault charges and now he has to sign on the Sex Offenders register. Which I'm sure he likes to keep quiet about...but I don't...
Fortunately I have learnt my lesson.
I do not lend. Unless it's like £1 for a sarnie or something. Or dire family emergency.
And I've given up dating bumholes.

My ex was emotionally and physically abusive towards me. I busted my butt working while he sat around doing nothing. He didn't even help take care of our son. He isolated me by moving me 6 hours away from my family and broke every cell phone i had. I got away from him I'm waiting on my divorce from him now. I'm just glad i got myself abd my son out of that horrible situation!0

Sometimes I still wonder "What is WRONG with these *insert bad word* people who feel the need to just be controlling, nasty pieces of excrement?"
Glad I've packed in the feculent boyfriend period of my life, moved to independant single lady for a good period, after which I found a lovely man who I have been with for almost 3 years...partly because I had learnt to live with/by myself and be generally happy with myself. And gain the self worth not to put up with that bull again.
There is a lot to be said for a relationship based on enjoying the other person rather than needing them.0 -
Can you prove the money thing? Take him to small claims court. Keep it all business.
I have a dreaded ex. I spent a lot of time being angry and hating him. It's just not worth the energy. I've let him know that I forgive him, but that doesn't mean I want to be friends or even acquaintances.
Forgiveness is hard because most people think that it means you've accepted the bad behavior. But, that's not really what it is. It's really just about letting go of the "why me" and the "f&ck him" script in your head.

At least you don't have a child with him. You can just move on.0

I decided after an extended period of hating my ex that I wasn't hurting anyone but myself by holding onto my anger. He didn't know I was angry, nor did he care. So I just got over it. I'm a happier person for it.0

The problem I learned with taking him to small claims court is that you're going to have to prove that there was an agreement where he would be paying you back. And having a text message or email isn't necessarily proof as it can be constituted as "hearsay".
I learned this the hard way myself. Plus there are limits on small claims court and you'd need to hire an attorney, pay filing and court costs, etc. Depending on the amount he owes you, it might be best to chalk this one up to a lesson and move forward thinking that at least you have the individual out of your life.
And you can either send him glitter (http://shipyourenemiesglitter.com/), hope that karma comes back and bestowes upon him a festering case of anal warts, or make the conscious decision to move forward.
Personally, moving forward and using the experience as a life lesson has worked for me. It's hard sometimes, but I know deep down that he'll have to live with himself for doing the things he did, and I can sleep soundly at night knowing that I have tried to be the best person I could.

Just realize that anger is as much part of the process as the rest of it. It will pass.0
