My ex emailed today to say he's planning to fly out soon to pick up his guitar from me. It's a $800 guitar and a $700 flight (international) so I guess that makes sense. In any case, I thought about it a second and realized I don't want to see his sorry a$$, so I told him he could pick it up from my friend (slam 1: rejected). He can tell from the name it's a male friend (slam 2: jealousy). Furthermore when he goes to pick it up, he'll see it's a really hot guy. (future slam 3: more jealousy)

He hasn't even responded to confirm. I think he's fuming. If he disagrees and says he can't pick it up from a friend, I'll make it clear that I'm busy on the days when he's coming out. He hasn't even set the dates yet, which makes that a beautiful thing to say.

I know I sound petty, but this guy has been such an a$$ to me, and it just feels so good.

I didn't slam the guitar -- I meant slam on my ex.

ok i see said the blind man to his deaf son

maybee u should learn to play the thing greta way of escaping reality!!!!

Oops, that may be an americanism (to slam someone) -- just noticed you're from Australia. Sorry about that.

I considered learning to play that thing. It's a really nice guitar. But the hot friend also wanted to play it and he knows how. I'd be a d-mn good blues player by now if I had.

well if u want to off load it i could send u moneys to freight to the land of OZ

I'll keep that in mind. I'm eager to get it out of my sight. And away from my friends who want to take it down to the beach and burn it. Tempting, but I'll resist.

What did the ex do that was so bad?

What did the ex do that was so bad?

it's so detailed I didn't wanna bore you guys. But in sum, he and I are forced to interact by email over work (it'll be over in a few months). He went out of his way to treat me like dirt, less than human, when he knew I was going thru the roughest point of my career because of massive work problems, and this all happened just as I was starting to get over my depression from him. During our work interactions, he made sure to make me feel bad about everything and try to make me look bad in front of our boss even.

I've just been reemed over the last few months, and he's doing what he can to make it worse.

On the bright side, it's helped me get over him. I can't even imagine being with him, because I think I don't even love him anymore.

i like your grand slams...

good job!

If he treated you as something less than human, then I think it's only fair that you sell that guitar of his on Ebay and use the proceeds to treat yourself to some nice pampering sessions. Maybe you could also use some of the cash to take the hot young male friend out for a slap up meal.

Congratulations on the upper hand... doesn't it feel good?

[dawn duval]

Thanks guys! Having the upper hand feels wonderful!

I was really tempted to sell it and take the money for myself. My ex is already inclined to make his exes sound like b-tches so I didn't want to give him any fuel. The weird thing is I like his family a lot so I didn't want to let them down, although I don't give a sh-t about him. But, if that hadn't been the case, I think an $800 meal would have been in order.

And uh...actually that's the friend I kinda ended up hooking up with friday night (I mentioned in another thread)

The moral of this, ladies, is to befriend hot younger guys.
