lofi_tokyo Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 One of the biggest pains I felt when my ex and I broke up was not just saying goodbye to my ex, but saying goodbye to his family. I had become quite close with his parents, whom I have not talked to since the break up (too weird), but in the first month and a half of the break up, I did keep in contact with my ex's brother-in-law. Him and I have always been fairly good friends, and when we were having relationship troubles, we would always talk to each other. We sent a few e-mails back and fourth, but eventually the brother-in-law did not reply. So I sent one last e-mail asking him to look out for my ex (because my ex is still a kid in many regards). That was over a month and a half ago! I figured the bro-in-law who I'll call Jay just so he has a name, stopped e-mailing because he got sick of me and figured I should move on. He lives up in Alaska with my ex's sister, and my ex lives in California. Jay and my ex's sister went to visit my ex for a week and I figured my ex would have introduced his new girl to the family, and everyone would have lived happily ever after, forgetting about me, and accepting the new girl. Today I got an e-mail from Jay. First time in 1.5 months. Apparently, the family hates the new girl. Jay actually called her a "****ing bi***". My ex blew off Jay and his very very pregnant sister that he has not seen in 6 months so that he could hang out with the new girlfriend every single day. Apparently nobody likes the new girl because shes always getting my ex to come over and he's just following her around like a little lap dog, and doing nothing productive. Well. My ex sure isn't missing me. Thats for sure. Hes happy with his new girlfriend no doubt. But at what cost? My ex does not have many friends, and he has completely ostracized himself from both me, his best friend (brother in law), and his confidant (his sister). I guess my message to everyone here is... You may imagine things being great for your ex. Life is oh so wonderful for them while you are sitting around being sad. Well here is some news for you: things aren't always as great as you may fear them to be. I have not been replaced as easily as I imagined, Jay and his sister still keep in touch, and as it turns out, the new girlfriend is widely hated. Victory! (I'm awful) *****WHOOPS! Could a moderator please move this to the breaks and breaking up forum? Sorry, not meant for dating!!!
