Due to my own stupidity and gutlessness, I have found myself dumped. Yes, it sucks and the fact I set myself up for it does little to lessen the pain.
She asked me not to text or call. I guess the FNG got jealous as he doesn’t believe that former lovers can be friends. I live a good 800 miles away. It’s not like I could just drop by if he was unavailable.
Still, see line 1 about putting myself in this situation. Blast it.
Anyway, the huge empty hole in my life is tough to deal with and I have been searching for excuses to call or contact her anyway. Thought I would share reasons so far (I am just at the 30-day mark) and see which ones folks might suggest or add as the best bogus reasons to contact her:
- I screwed up, I am sorry, all my fault, give me another chance.
- I didn’t tell you how much you mean to me.
- She hasn’t called because she lost my cell number,
- … home number,
- … home address,
- … email.
- I sent 10 dozen roses to your house, did you get them?
- I just wanted to share this picture of these penguins
- … owl
- … flamingo
- … squirrel
- She needs me to save her from the bad decision of choosing the FNG.
- I just happened to be in the area thought I’d drop by.
- I bought a Cake Pop maker for my niece but she already has one. Do you think your granddaughters would like it? I’ll bring it by.
- Do you still need help hanging the TV in your bedroom? I can drive over and do that for you.
- I am thinking of looking for a job near you, can I stay at your place while I search?
- I’m thinking of publishing our texts, they were pretty racy and could be the next 50 Shades of Grey. Should I list you as co-author and split royalties?
- I sent you a sushi chef and mariachi band. Enjoy!
- Did you attend your friend’s wedding? How was it?
- How’s your friend who was sick?
- How’s your cat?
- I baked cookies today!
- What are you going to do with our, er, toys?
- Thinking of buying a business, what do you think?
- Can I get your professional opinion on my business idea?
- Would you be interested in coming to work for me?
- What do you use in your trainings?
- I’m out walking the dog and I’m bored.
- Did you know there was a University of Alabama car in the race today? [Alabama is her alma mater]
- Are you going to present at the next conference? I am getting an exhibitor booth there!
Help me out Dopers! Suggestions? What are your favorite bogus reasons to call the ex?
Figured should add, I am not going to call her. I gave her my word that I would not and I intend to honor that. I can wish her Happy Summer Solstice in another month, though, can’t I? That’s an okay reason, isn’t it?
