Well, I’m bitter about my boyfriend’s relationship with his ex. Too long to explain here, but I’ve been in a BAD mood for the past few days.
grrr… stupid exes.
I’ll “grrr” right along with you.
Ex Boyfriend: We broke up back in May after being together more than a year. He moved to Florida (I live in Pennsylvania). He always promised that he’d stay in touch with me because he still loved me.
He hasn’t spoken to me since June. He has written maybe 3 letters, but all of them were very vague. He asked me once if I was still up for marrying him if we’re still 28 and single, and I replied with, “I can’t make any promises, I don’t let the grass grow under my feet.” Ever since, he’s had that “sour grapes” attitude, and last I heard, he had said that his relationship with me was a waste of time.
Yes, I know that on many occasions I said I couldn’t stand him, that he was annoying and immature. I know I’ve had a new boyfriend since July/August or so. I know I’ve probably brought it upon myself, but…
Fuck him. 
Boyz are stoopid.
agrees but feels outnumbered all of a sudden
dpr, go reread the crush thread. That’s all I’m gonna say.
Yeah, but you love us anyway, right? 
Yup.
Oh.
So this is the bit I gaze into Geobabe’s eye soulfully and say…
So… how YOU doin’?
I’d be doing a lot better if you volunteered to move to the US and be my love slave…
Boy, this thread got hijacked all to hell, didn’t it?
Elizabeth (Broken Doll), I was saving this for a happy birthday thread, but I’ll put it here.
I followed your link to your homepage and would like to say that I think you’re a very wonderful woman, and you deserve to be appreciated a whole lot more than I think you are.
If you weren’t half a world away, I’d drop by to give you a big hug. Heck, I’ve always wanted to visit Australia, but it’ll take a bit of planning. 
I’m feeling bitter because I got shot down by a girl, and a week later my friend’s crush asked her (my friend) out. It makes me so angry.
I am bitter too. I had a thread about it very recently in MPSIMS with a great title that got killed before it stood up. I am bitter about that too. I am bitter because of my lonneliness. And also bitter because it seems everyone else has someone except me. I am becoming a niihilist.
(((Welfy, Broken Doll and FPK)))
And FPK, I understand your feelings all too well. But you just must realize that Allah or the IPU has different plans for you. I am going through that right now. It really hurts, and everyhting I do makes me think of what I could have had. No, I’m not bitter. I just need a lot of time to heal. All of us do.
I think there should be no such thing as “exes”, once people break up… umm… I have no solution here, but exes have to go! Especially my boyfriend’s!
I’m going a bit nuts about this now so I couldn’t post rationally even if I wanted to waste the space…
Speaking as a sour, melancholy, though not particularly bitter, old married guy, I can offer nothing else to this discussion, so I will submit my favorite joke from Hee Haw.
Junior: Caught my wife with my best friend.
Grandpa: Ya bitter?
Junior: Yup. Bit him, too.

dpr and wyldelf, when are you two going to stop dancing around the issue with this “we’re just friends” crap? You like each other. What the hell!
[/yenta mode]
broken doll, I have known people who left Oz because of what they called the emptiness of the lifestyle. While I’ve had enough meaning in my life and Queensland sluts are sounding pretty good today, maybe you could consider emmigrating. Or volunteer work might help you feel you weren’t doomed to be one of them.
Kitty, yeah, loves a bitch, ain’t she? But that dork had his chance.
Geobabe, yeah, we are stoopid. But, with proper direction, we can make the right decisions.
Which brings me to my question: Whatever happened to manipulative women? I assume they are still out there, but none of you seem to have been taught ANY of that stuff! This is your BIRTHRIGHT, fer cryin’ out loud! Ask your mothers or some woman who seems to have gotten what she wanted. <partial smirk, with elements of believing what I said>
Boy, for somebody with nothing to say, I managed to work in a joke, considerable unsolicited advice, and picked a fight with all of the women. Pretty good!
dropzone, there’s no more manipulative women because now there’s gender equality and instead of me being dragged around on a leash, my boyfriend is very content in leading me about on the leash that I created for myself. Why is love such a bitch?
Kitty
You didn’t pick a fight with me! 
I agree with you, FPK darling. Self-imposed leashes are the worst kind. (((((FPK)))))
Thanks everyone for the bitterness they’ve let out here. It’s always nice to have a good bitch once in a while.
At the moment I’m very bitter about no one liking me because I’m supposedly weird-looking [hey, a shaved head isn’t weird…], I have weird friends and I wear weird clothes. Normally I wouldn’t give a toss about people not liking me, because honestly, who cares? They are just people. But it’s been going on too long and after a while you start to believe that you are worthless and no one is ever going to love you for what you are. sigh…
And to the people who asked, yes, being surrounded by sluts is very bad when everytime you see them you want to slap some sense into them. Violently…
And yes, boys do suck. But they are just so darn cute sometimes…
Fan of nice hair that I am, I am having real difficulty being MPSIMS-supportive about this, but…
On you, bald looks good!
Oh, well, take heart in that the assholes will be dead some day, too. And I don’t need to adopt Tina–I have one already.

i don’t think that life in Australia is any less deep and meaningful than life elsewhere. I could get real mean and bitter about it too if you care to press the point 
I’m currently bitter about being sick. I have six million things to do and they ain’t going nowhere while I can barely sit straight in a chair and when I try to walk I fall over. In the absence of alcohol, that is no fun.
Exes suck. My SO’s ex of 12 years, the woman who rang up on our wedding day just to check he was going through with it, recently had a baby by herself. She used the same name as we did for our youngest son and used a name my SO made up for one of his novels. I’m completely confident in my marriage - hey if he was gonna leave me it wouldn’t be for her but geez it pisses me off.
