the ex-files
now that we've established that i've been working like a bitch, let us move on to more important matters. those matters of the heart. and the EX. yes yes, it's long over due but it's (partly) my blog and i'll post when i want to.
today's lesson is about busting the myths of ex's. but for the sake of convenience and less confusion, let's go through the roles. there's three people in this little scenario. the poor unfortunate "boyfriend", his EX and his CURRENT. helga has already written from the stand of the CURRENT...here. today i'm playing the EX (and in case you're wondering, yes i actually AM an EX)
i'm here to defend the ex's who are too often labelled the desperate women wanting their ex-boyfriends back. bit melodramatic? yes indeed. but still true on some level. but and there IS a BUT...how often is that true really? we've all been through that bad BAD period after a break up where you really do want him back...but it fades away pretty quickly. because why? it didn't work out. why would you want to go back to something that didn't work out? thus that famous saying..."they are ex's for a reason".
i think it's time for an example. i for one am friends with my ex (sort of). and to tell you the truth, there is nothing there. there is no way in hell i would ever get back with him. and i'm not just saying this for the sake of this post. i've even met his current girlfriend and she's pretty cool. although i'm not sure whether she knows that i'm his ex. that's besides the point.
and thus forms the basis for my argument. i'm sure it's uncomfortable for the CURRENT if her boyfriend is still friends with his EX. but think about it, it's more uncomfortable for the CURRENT and the EX to be friends. i'll leave that for another day.
to end this post i will repeat one of helga's quotes.
"what happens if the feelings they once had for each other resurface?"
you might as well question your whole relationship with the guy if you're thinking shit like that. and if it does happen and they do get back together?
he was an asshole anyway.
