The ex & the new guy making out in front of me

Maybe she was agreeing with you. Is she German?

She knows where he lives.

By saying “the”? (Sorry, just wondering if there is a German usage I’m missing.)

No, I misremembered the Simpsons quote (and am embarrassed that I didn’t stop to think about it).

Ah, “The Bart The.” Classic. :slight_smile:

Great advice. People don’t have to break up with undue rancor and vitriol, but that doesn’t mean you go to the opposite extreme and try to stay close hang-out-all-the-time friends. You really need true separation and time. Your well-being should be far, far more important to you than her desire to remain “friends”.

Even better, write a long detailed letter, full of vitriol and passion. Then tear it up or delete it. Satisfaction without feeding the troll (and you save the money on a stamp!).
(WARNING: If you do this on the computer, don’t do it as an e-mail that could be accidentally sent. Use a plain text editor).
Really, if you want her out of your head, the only way to do that is to find something else to put in it. Doesn’t have to be another GF, just something rewarding you enjoy.

Because there is no interaction with her – even sending anonymous letters – that will realistically get her out of your head. Living well really is the best revenge.

The bf was definitely initiating all of the PDAing that I saw. I just couldn’t believe she was actually going along with it. I also have a feeling that HE got ahold of her phone in other to fuck with me. Sending txts that say “die” just isn’t her style. And yes, she’s German.

OOOOOHHHH!!! I may be on to something. I thought it was wierd that she said she didn’t know how to “react to the situation”. It could be that you’ve got a man-battle going on here.

If this is the case, perhaps you shouldn’t sever all ties. She may be unaware of it all together and it’s just the guy that’s screwing with you. Can you elaborate at all, even a little, on what the incomprehensible voicemails were? Was she upset, angry, or confused?

I suppose you could just text her back and say “Did you really just say that to me?” and see what she says. That’s not really feeding the troll as you’re not responding with any emotion. Hell, you could flat out ask- Did Jesse send this text or you?- but I think that might give her a scapegoat if she did send it.
Either way, I declare myself the winner of this thread. Awesome call, CS, awesome call.

Whatever you do, do NOT do this.

Don’t do this either. Just walk away.

I agree with Rubystreak.

This is RL trolling. Just ignore it. Do not feed it.

It was just incomprehensible babbling on those voicemails, something she IS known for. However, after listening to it again, I think it was Jesse doing an impersonation of her, since the voice was a bit too deep. I sent her the message which Chessic Sense suggested last night, and a couple hours ago I got a response saying “Sorry about that I am removing your number from my phone so he does not do it again”.

That 6 months thing is starting to sound pretty good right now. Especially since I’m about to go out on a double date with a girl who works at Microsoft.

Oooh! Hook a brother up… a new trackball at company store prices would be awesome :wink:

Which just goes to show that she’s a weirdo. If my boyrfriend started leaving weird messages for my ex (especially ‘die’) pretending to be me, he’d be kicked to the kerb. I wouldn’t just go ‘Oh, dear, guess I’d better remove your number so he doesn’t do it again’.

What happens if her bf decides he doesn’t like her father? Is dad suddenly going to get messages saying ‘I hate you and I hope you die’?

As Bites When Provoked said, this just makes her weird in a wholly different way. Assuming it *was *the new boyfriend and she’s not just using your text as a convenient excuse, she’s fucking crazy not to get rid of that ass as soon as possible.

I finally had a realization about her the other day. Tina has gradually molded into the type of person I don’t think I would even ENJOY being around anymore. It’s not just her boyfriend, it’s also the new attitudes and outlooks she has been picking up on over the last couple of months - it’s no wonder that we spent most of our time arguing the last couple of times we got together. I also realized that I think that SHE was the cause of most of my depression and inactivity over the last 3 years (including during the “good” times of our relationship). Purging her from my life has actually drastically improved mine, and I’m not even going to look back. Forget 6 months. This chapter of my life is CLOSED FOREVER.
