In which my sociopathic ex gets a new girlfriend and I can't stop laughing

64 replies

NeedABrew · 02/11/2011 15:15

I've posted about him before, sociopathic tendencies etc etc. He's got a new girlfriend, and thus I'm not in receipt of text messages, phone calls and such like.

Anyway, the girlfriend of a week, is a devout Christian. Nothing wrong with that. But now he has found God, is reading the Bible, and the man who used to wank obsessively over porn and with whom I had a very active and varied sex life with has announced he's given up sex. Part of me thinks good for him, hope it works out etc. The other cannot stop laughing about it. Feel free to judge me.

why are you remotely interested and actively finding out things about their relationship

its nothing at all to do with you

NeedABrew · 02/11/2011 15:33

I'm not actively finding it out, he was queuing up behind me in Starbucks earlier and told me. I have wished him well. In turn, I have been told I am 'allowed' to see other people now. Hmm

You really shouldn't bother caring.

Also I have seen people find God and change completely and permanently. Maybe he has. Don't laugh, just hope if you are bothered.

SolidGoldVampireBat · 02/11/2011 16:05

Be glad you're shot of him. He's just going to be a different flavour of arsehole now. Though of the two I would much prefer a porn head to a fucking Jeezus-freak - he will now abuse women in the name of his imaginary friend and claim to be a Better Person.

Well I would be agog if I were you. If you find out any more juicy titbits I'm listening.

MediumOrchid · 02/11/2011 16:20

OP - be very glad you're rid of him, and feel sorry for his new girlfriend. Sorry for the thread hijack...

SGB - when you post things like that, you offend me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I know the internet seems like you can post things and they have no effect, but actually, they do, and I'm getting tired of your anti-Christian posts. You don't like Christians, fine, but please stop insulting us.

NeedABrew · 02/11/2011 16:24

I'm kind of hoping the Lord is on her side and it doesn't work out for her sake.

OP posts:
SirSugar · 02/11/2011 16:41

Not sure the Almighty is on her side

SirSugar · 02/11/2011 16:44

And.. I challenge you all not to be intrigued at what your extwats past loves are doing

lolaflores · 02/11/2011 16:58

MediumOrchid she is as entitled to her opinion as the rest. You don't like it, we get you. Perhaps avoid reading her posts. It is not anti-christian, i don't think she suggested we start harrasing christians. It is merely her view on it, which however distatseful you find it, she is entitled to. Us being in a democracy and all. So, as the Lord would say, find forgiveness for her

AnyFucker · 02/11/2011 18:13

oh, I dunno, lola

sgb's post, although I share some of her sentiments here, made me go Shock

can you imagine the outcry if she had made a similar pronouncement about Islam, for example ?

unless she meant all forms of Religion, I think her comment is out of order and far too strongly worded to not be offensive to some (and I'm not a Christian)

AnyFucker · 02/11/2011 18:16

anyway

NAB

you are not over him, love, if you are still so affected by him

but I understand

"getting over" a destructive relationship is a long, searching and very, very painful process and you are entitled to feel however you like

I do feel sorry for the new gf..I mean, you wouldn't wish that on your worst enemy would you ?

lolaflores · 02/11/2011 18:21

AnyFucker come and see my thread about the satirists in France and muslims.
I defend anyone's right to be insulted. But as a christian, one should forgive. peace and love brothers and sisters.

GuyFawkesHadaPoint · 02/11/2011 18:21

Yup, what SGB said.

AnyFucker · 02/11/2011 18:30

that's ok, lola, I might give that one a miss

I am outspoken myself at times, but I do believe in respect and tolerance which should work both ways

ninah · 02/11/2011 18:40

what sgb said

springydaffs · 02/11/2011 19:03

I don't blame you for laughing your head off (and I'm a christian). As for not being over him yet - for goodness sake, the OP had a serious brush with a psycho, you don't 'get over' that.

I always find the people who loathe christians quite interesting really. I mean, why the fuss?

ShoppingIsMyFriend · 02/11/2011 19:07

well OP, I would be agog at that little nugget of information from your Ex too.

You are well rid, feel sorry for the new gf.

bellsring · 02/11/2011 19:09

OP, he may have found religion; I doubt it. It may be a new alter ego.

meltedchocolate · 02/11/2011 19:12

I has written a similar response to AF before putting DS to bed. Christians seem to be allowed to be given a good beating but if you said it about Muslims... Peace and respect people!

Lola, no one has been unforgiving. People have merely commented at SGB's insulting post and said she should keep things like that to herself.

Anywho. Sorry my ex was crazy but no, I have no interest whatsoever. In fact, I go out of my way NOT to hear things about him! When I do, I try not to care in any way, shape or form.

Hissy · 02/11/2011 19:14

Oh I do hope NAB you had a good comeback line when he gave you permission to shag Hmm

Along the lines of, "Oh good, I won't feel guilty the next time I have any one of my 'special friends' over then"

Grin
Hissy · 02/11/2011 19:16

There IS only ONE Imaginary Friend...

AnyFucker · 02/11/2011 19:24

yeah, he was called Rupert and he lived under my bed when I was 6 Grin

bellsring · 02/11/2011 19:25

I would laugh at the hypocrisy of it. I think that's very forgiving of you to hope it works out well for him.
