WTF, who talks like this, besides moonbeam?

I wish I had someone stalking me. All I had was a girl who really wanted me to be her intellectual whore.

ups

You claim you're being honest with her, but how can that be when you aren't being honest
with yourself?

You had enough trouble breaking up with her, your want to stay broken up with her, but
you still engage in chat with her "sister" because you can't find it in yourself to just turn AIM off?
WTH?

And (I'm assuming from your 1st post) she has blocked you in her IM, but she's okay with
you chatting with her "sister"? WTH!?

You've gotten past falling for her hysterical collapses, but its still okay for her to show up at your
workplace unannounced? WTH!!?


I know what you're trying to do... You're trying to be a "nice guy" about this. Well fark that; speaking
from experience, being a nice guy in a situation like that is the perfect invitation for people to walk
all over you. And it becomes really hard to keep being a nice guy when specific people make you
feel like day-old crap for being yourself.

Nobody is saying you have to turn into an complete a**hole, but you have to set some ground
rules for your own behaviour, and stick with them, or else you will never get her out of your
business. And you owe it to yourself to not let her take up more of your time.


#1. No more IM chats with "sister", period.
Just say "I can't chat with you". You are under no obligation to give a reason.
If you want to be "nice" about it, tell her you've got a special project taking up your
chat time, and give her an email address (make a new one up in hotmail) to write to you at.
If you feel like replying to the emails, keep it short, and don't let here drag you into TMI
(Too Much Information) about your ex-girlfriends life now, or about what is going on in your life.
If she's doing well, then say "I'm glad she's doing well"; if she's not doing well, then say "I'm sorry
to hear that, I hope she can get help soon". (Notice you are not the one offering help).

#2. Make it perfectly clear to everyone else that you are getting on with your life. Don't let
yourself dwell on what happened in the past, that's the past. And don't let other people
drag you into dwelling on it either. You have better things to do with your time.

#3. Send her a "nice" letter, explaining that you would rather not have her visit you at your job
anymore. It is disruptive to your work, and may have a negative impact on your boss if it keeps
up. (Even if you don't think that is true, and the boss seems cool about it, it will have a disruptive
influence if you let this continue.)


I don't think telling you to "grow up" is right, since you are still young (and should be allowed to
experience being young while you can) but you need to realize that being young is a lot more
fun when you are not letting people use you as an emotional doormat.

Wow. I only had to wait for 62 replies until I finally received some good advice. ;) Much :heart:

On a side note, I like how so many people that probably have never had a long term relationship in their lives feel that their lack of romantic turbulence means they have the ever-burning obligation to tell me that I am immature, stupid, deceitful, and psycho-dramatic. All of this because I hooked an obvious Ms. Wrong. :confused: No wonder some of you have so many posts. My goodness.

ups

notice the irony? you assume that the people responding have no relationship experience, and are angry that they are making assumptions about you...
