Ex used to constantly bang on about a coat I had. It was a general black winter coat with a furry lined hood (not real fur, think it was bought from Tesco). He would go on about it all the time saying it was frumpy, grandma coat, council estate coat etc etc - constantly trying to get me to throw it out. Anyway we split (not because of the coat! 😂) but remained friends on Facebook. A few years later I bought a mew coat, similar style, black long coat with furry lined hood however this one was expensive (Barbour). Last night a memory came up from earlier in the year where I was on a lively dog walk. I happened to be wearing the Barbour coat. I’m feeling really down lately so shared the memory as it made me smile. He commented saying “I see you still have that granny coat haha”. I replied saying “this is a different coat” and he said “suuuurrre” with a winking face. Well I lost my shit and replied:
“Who the fuck do you think you are trying to tell people what they should and shouldn’t wear? I don’t need your shitty opinions thanks, especially when you clearly don’t own a fucking mirror yourself. You’re a joke. Absolutely pathetic. You put me down for years in the past trying to control what I wear and I’m not fucking having it anymore. Go and look at yourself, you absolute tit”.
He replied instantly with a shocked face and no words. Then a few of my friends put shocked reactions on my comment. I then got a couple of messages from friends asking if I was ok. Now I’m mortified that I went off like that but I guess I’m still harbouring resentment for the shit I put up with??! I’ve deleted it now and blocked him but I feel like deleting Facebook completely. I’m so embarrassed, my work colleagues would have seen that, as well as seniors and juniors. My son also saw it and sent me a joke message saying “shit, someone pissed in your cornflakes this morning?”
But then I’m still angry that he mentioned the bastard coat again!!!!
