Tybalt Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Not that far in the distant past, if I received a text akin to the one I am about to describe from an ex I had been really hung up on, I might have felt special, or validated, or somehow more significant to that person. But my perspective has changed, significantly. Last night my most recent ex sent me a text saying he hoped I was well, and stating that he thought he'd "stoke my ego" by telling me that his new girlfriend and he had split up because "what can I say, she wasn't you." He and I ended things because he treated me poorly, wouldn't invest emotionally and I stopped coming around. He had a new "serious" GF within a couple of weeks. This is my translation of his text: "what can I say, she wasn't you" = "she put up with far less bad behavior than you did, and I'm hoping you'll sign up for another round, since I'm currently exploring new booty call opportunities and you used to be pathetically available to me. Also, I sent this same text to 3 other exes." I haven't responded. 2
Art_Critic Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 I think your translation is right on... you should start a text message translation business on the side...
USMCHokie Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 I honestly never quite understood how that actually works on people...I guess if both parties are "desperate" enough, it works out for everyone... I guess that's how constantly "on and off" relationships are sustained...
Author Tybalt Posted April 6, 2012 Author Posted April 6, 2012 It really MUST be an exudate Hokie. A close friend of mine who knows him too made the same statement about the text "exuding class." And I think you're right about it being how an on/off relationship continues... Aaaaaannnnddd.... It's off, and I pulled out the wires, and threw the motor in the lake. 1
