The EX Factor

everyone has them. ok maybe not everyone, but it gets to that point where most people have.
ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
i feel like im an expert on this by now, i really do.
because not only have i had a lot of experience with them, but i am one. and its a difficult role to play.
after the break-up, its hard to let them go, so you keep talking. but girls, there is a line. when they have a new girlfriend, leave them alone. their every thought no longer is about you. as much as it sucks, you just have to cut those damn ties.
right now, a year after they broke up, shes still texting him those pitiful messages saying how much she misses him, a poem she found, four years ago they started going out. on and on and on.
every new relationship is difficult. im having trouble trusting you, and youre having trouble trusting me too, but we are having such a good time. until her name pops up. which is fine. until its every second sentence. i dont want to know the details of your sex life. because thats over. its hard enough that she lives down the street, is friends with all your friends, is part of three years of your life, but when you tell me about those little details i want to just punch the two of you.
so wake up and move on, seriously. im here now, and while i dont feel nearly as substantial as you two were, im making an effort. i can just see this all turning on me too. you two getting back together and ditching me. i know you dont want to, but its hard for guys to resist the familiar.

and you. yes you, you evil little bitch. i know, it seems callous, but i just dont get how you can sleep at night, after what you did. trying to befriend me, allowing me to trust you and believe we had things in common. then, after i rant about how i was still in love with him, you turn around and plunge yourself back into your old life. and i have to guess. if you hadnt done this, i would still have my old best friend. i just dont understand how girls can be so evil.

the point here, is, if you find yourself becoming one of these girls, think about how it feels, and move on. making another girls life hell just because youre hurting isnt right. trying to destroy foundations of relationships before theyre even built isnt right. find another release because when you find yourself one day, trying to start a new relationship and the ex is still hanging around, you see how it feels to feel like the third wheel in that position.
