Ex said that I am "threatened by [new boyfriend's] masculinity"

[Pikeman85]

An ex of mine said that I was "threatened" by her new boyfriend(ish)'s masculinity, when she wanted to hang out with me and invite him along, and I told her I did not want him to come. She did this playfully (i.e. with a ) over Skype.

Why does she want to get you both together with her and not want you to be threatened by his enormous masculinity? hmmmm

[Johnny85]

She was just trying to get a reaction out of you, most likely to make you jealous. His masculinity? He probably drives a big truck and goes to the guy 20 times a week, overcompensating for his small you know what. haha

 

My ex did the same thing to me and it turned out he wasn't all that after all. Just give it some time!!!!

[plowguy1]

as someone who was left by my wife for a more masculine man, that was f@#$cking cruel.... dude she is from hell she did you a favor wow...

[Pikeman85]

The thing is, the guy is actually LESS masculine than me, just way older (though with a less impressive job), but she feels he's more masculine because I've been all butthurt over the break-up (she wanted to get back with me but I screwed it up).

 

I don't know, we're all levels of screwed up. She has made it obvious she wants me to man up more, but it's damn hard when you care about a girl and there's another guy on the scene. Not to mention she told me she wants me to see her like a sister (and then a week and a half later, jumped me in her bed and said she knew how much I wanted to f*** her)

[Woggle]

Be glad she is your ex.

[Pikeman85]

Yea, awful that I miss her so badly though, and she won't get her claws out of me :/

sounds like you lucked into the right decision.

 

should have f*cked her senseless, agreed to the get together, and pointed out to the new bf how you had just screwed his new girl just a short while ago, as you walk out on the two of them saying "have a nice life".

[Pikeman85]

The BF was two rooms over.

Call her out on whatever **** she does wrong, and back her into the corner instead.

 

Like, explicitly say "Nah, you're just trying to get a reaction out of me". Throw her a few curveballs. Either she gets attracted, or angry, or she will leave you alone. Heh, pretty much anything goes.

You could always block/delete her from your skype contacts, etc..

[january2011]

I don't understand why you are in contact with her at all and thus giving her opportunities to hurt you.

 

The most appropriate reaction is "meh". It's about as interesting as when someone asks, do you put the peanut butter on first or the jelly? Or how many pencils in that pot? Or why is there dirt under my fingernails? Who cares? She's your ex for a reason and with whom or how she spends her life is not really any concern of yours. Let her go brag elsewhere.

[dispatch3d]
