twicebitten Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 My ex just sent me a text that read: "Get lucky Friday Night??" (I went out dancing w/GFs)! WTH!??? Is this verbal/emotionally abusive!??? I mean HE'S now with HIS EX ... so WTH does he CARE!?? Should I just NOT respond?? Because I want to send a snooty-A** response right now!!!! THANKS all! XO -Twicebitten -
Author twicebitten Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 I NEED a SH**Y response ... or NO response!!?? He makes me FUME!!! Need opinions!!??
Trialbyfire Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 If you honestly want to move on, don't respond. He's trying to get your attention and it's up to you to decide whether you're willing to give it to him. If you're interested in playing the game, just respond as such "Yes".
Ronni_W Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Honestly? Sounds like he is too freakin' childish to be capable of 'abuse' in any sense of that word -- "not guilty by reason of immaturity". I know it's frustrating but if you can just delete without responding will be best. My "other side" would be tempted to respond, "Boy, did I ever!!!" (But seriously, don't go there...in the end, it'll just lower you to his infantile mental level.)
techfan Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 silence is the best answer.... shows indifference. if you respond it gives power to the other person.
Author twicebitten Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 I will TRY not to respond!!!!! But he's Pissing me OFF!! Now, he sent ... "K, now I'm gonna drink all your orange pop!" What an idiot!!?? Why didn't he give my damn orange pop to his ex who was over this weekend instead!! A**!!!
Trialbyfire Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 He's doing you a favour. He's showing you what a dip he really is. Is this the kind of childishness you want in a partner?
Author twicebitten Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 You're sooo right (I know that)!! BUT it just infuriates me!!!
Flying Burrito Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Honestly? Sounds like he is too freakin' childish to be capable of 'abuse' in any sense of that word -- "not guilty by reason of immaturity". This is exactly right. This guy will make you crazy. Guys like this make other guys crazy too. Its not only you ladies. Sometimes its fun to watch these idiots from a distance though.
Trialbyfire Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I've had the experience of exes attempting to solicit attention through negative behaviour(s). It's all about their egos and not anything to do with caring. Don't get angry. Just get disappointed and if it continues, disgusted.
LakesideDream Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 TwoBites, Don't throw around phrases like "abuse". Your ex's behaviour is just immature. He's trying to hang around in your life without knowing how. I know it's tacky, and a pain in the ass, but it's not abuse. Leave terms like abuse for those who actually experiance it. Throwing it around just dilutes the meaning for those in real abusive situations.
Author twicebitten Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 I really didn't mean to throw "abuse" around. It's just that I do NOT have experience with it, that's TRUE, so I was unsure, or if it was some form of 'manipulation'!??? That's all!! XO - Twicebitten -
