still crazy after all these years

[rone]

You know how it is when you start thinking about bad breakups and wondering if maybe you should do the adult thing and reach out to an ex who you feel you might have cut off unfairly and then you hear years later that they're every bit as bad-crazy as they were back then and you feel relieved that you dodged that bullet?

This happens to me EVERY DAY.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean.

It came up again today, actually. It's nice to have the occasional reminder that I made the right choice.

Totally. I had to block him on Facebook. How do you know Stephan?

My stalker

is constantly at the top of my Facebook recommendations. I still don't have the heart to hit Ignore. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I logged on and found a friend request from her.

The last time she lived in the area, she gave me the same creepy come-ons as before--knowing I was married--and then after a few weeks stopped saying more than two words to me.

Even if you hit Ignore, Facebook doesn't retain that preference. At some point, the connectivity value will be high enough to make her re-appear. There are some people I have Ignored in the suggestion page over and over and over and over again.

HAHAHA forgiveness is divine but that woman is crazy beyond the touch of gods and demons alike.

Those whom the gods (and demons) would drive mad, they first... touch.

Inappropriate bastards.

You have no idea how much I look forward to the day, years from now, when I feel like this. Instead, right now I get to deal with them being crazy in the present and all, lucky me.

Um, actually no. I haven't had any bad breakups. I'm mostly still fond of and friends with my exes, and the ones that I'm not on friendly terms with, I've not seen, heard of, or thought about since. So I'm unlikely to hear how they are these days.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Well, i hope that it doesn't happen to you. Best part of moving on is never having to go over the same ground again.

[bunnikins.livejournal.com]

I am confident it won't. I do like to point and laugh at other people's crazy exes though, so if that ever comes back to bite me it'll be payback on a massive scale!

[ratphooey.livejournal.com]

They are called exes for a reason.

Ex. Ex ex ex.

The "adult" thing

[skippy-fluff.livejournal.com]

The "adult" thing is highly over-rated in this case. Even for exes who are not bat-shit crazy (and I have one in that category), going out of your way to spend time and energy on them is rarely worth it. If they're already in your life in a pleasant and predictable way, no need to change that. But digging up the graves of past relationships--no matter how they died--is just wrong. Let the dead lie, in my opinion.

I often imagine that I AM that ex.

i am glad i am not the only one.

[dwenius.livejournal.com]

My crazy ex went sane. Well, mostly. I guess that leaves me as the still crazy one.

I have him in a google news search so that I don't miss the OD or DUI obituary I expect sometime in the next couple of years.
