Just spent a couple hours talking to my ex. I feel bad for him, but also vindicated. His hot, young, college model "fiance" was only using him to pay her bills, milking money out of him for "medical costs" and then spending it on things like a flat screen tv, and had moved her true boyfriend into my ex's apartment while he was out of town for a few months. He showed up unannounced, discovered the boyfriend living in his place, and then found (and read) her journal.

I know I should be gloating, but a part of me feels so sad for him. He is incredibly hurt. I joked with him how sad it is that I'm probably the only person he could think of to really talk about this with since I'm the one who knows him the worst. He laughed and then went into another 30 minutes of more details.

He did say that all this made him realize that a) she'd never cared about him at all (he read her journal), b) she was incredibly wasteful with his money and almost everything I tried to tell him back when I was the sole breadwinner he found himself trying to tell her, and c) he realized that I had truly loved him and cared for him all these years, that I would never have done him like she did.

Can't really say I'm "venting" b/c I'm not mad, but just spouting I guess
