Argh! The ex-fiance is dating again

I just heard it through the grapevine. It’s stupid, because I am perfectly happy he’s not with me anymore, I just hoped I’d find somebody new before he did. Poor me, poor me.

Oh well, I guess I’ll go wallow in the depths of a bowl of fruity colored jello and elf bowling.

Yeah, it always sucks when the ex starts dating before you do.

Don’t ask me why. It just does. I’ve been there too.

Save me some Jello, okay? :smiley:

Hey doesn’t that just mean you are more selective then he is. Don’t want to date another loser.

This is true, I am trying to be more selective. I actually ‘dated’ first. He just seems to have aquired a steady in the last few weeks. Whereas I have had a whole bunch of one night wonders (perfectly safe, meet in a public place dates Mom, I’m not a slut, honest).

Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Yummy!! J-E-L-L-O!

The ex dating first sucks! Just think of it this way… your enjoying being single :slight_smile:

Good for you that you waited. Someone better is waiting out there for you, when the time is right. Do you have any pets? Sometimes they are a great comfort in times such as these.

Thanks for the sympathy. I do have a couple of cats. I can’t wait to get home and curl up in bed with a good book, tea and them sleeping on my feet.

Well, my ex-bf (who I was actually engaged to at one point) broke up with me because he had started seeing someone else. OK, so the relationship had been on its last legs for a very long time and I was 500 miles away and we weren’t even really “officially” together, but we were still sleeping together, and, well, I just wasn’t ready, that’s all.

Last time I was home I heard he was still with her. I so wanted that relationship to go down in flames, ya know?

Yeah, it sucks, even when you don’t want them anymore, to know that they’re not sitting home pining away for you. I haven’t seriously dated anyone since he and I broke up a year and a half ago–but I think that by waiting and giving myself time to properly heal I have a better chance when the next relationship does come along.

Some quality time with your kitties will probably work wonders.
