I met up with ex last night..

[Ouchbloodyouch]

and I wondered what I ever saw in him.! Nearly 8 months after we split we met up (we still had business matters to resolve). He wittered on about cutting his carb intake and how well he is doing. I honestly thought why the fuck did I think you were the 'one'? He sat there saying how good he was to me like he was some sort of saint. As for me, I've been seeing someone for 2 months and its lovely. My work is booming.
Back in September when I posted i couldn't see how I would ever let the bitterness go because of his 3 month affair. I believe I lost my marbles.
I'm posting this in the hope that someone at the stage I was in September reads this and takes a bit of comfort about the passing of time. You will get there and life will be better than you could have imagined.

Oh well done you!

Lovely to see this & how satisfying you could sit there with an inner smug face & realise you have moved on & are doing just fine without the git!!

Cannot think why you were not riveted by the update on his carb intake!

nice one

Fantastic

Were you tempted to offer him the sage advice of Phoebe Buffay in Friends: "Get out of the bitter barn and play in the hay!"

I missed that classic line tribot but I will be sure to use it in the future

Good - he doesn't half sound bitter about 'how good he was to you' (apart from the cheating bit presumably). Cheeky fucker.

fabulous

Yey

A life well-lived..... it's the sweetest revenge, and doesn't half put things in perspective.

Hurray for you and for me, my ex now looks like one of The Freak Brothers, what on earth possessed me

An aberration handy I have had numerous
To be completely honest and not too gushy (one in) if it hadn't been for MN primarily a bit of baggage reclaim and Tony Gaskins I think I might have repeated my previous relationship patterns. This new woman won't take any shit. Funnily enough I haven't had any. I don't think its coincidence.

@ one of the Freak Brothers

Thank you. Really helped to read this thread as am at the losing my marbles stage.

chinup marbles were scattered across the globe. It was awful. Read. Post if you feel like it. Read the chat page. AIBU is good for a laugh. Busy yourself in RL even if it brings you no joy. Because it will eventually.
