To continue the saga of my ex…

It seems the ex is dumping Y (current boyfriend) in favor of X (new bf). Apparently Y’s wanting to live together, buy a house and get married after 4 months of knowing each other, along with his massive amount of debt and bad credit, has convinced the ex that this relationship was not such a good idea. Methinks the fact that he is twice her age is not a minor concern.

Anyways, tonight, X is over at our apartment for dinner. When the ex and X (Dos Equis, from now on) returned from a walk, there ensued a conversation between the ex and our roomate about how worthless Y was and such a bad person, and he won’t return the ex’s calls so she can dump him, etc. What made this interesting and uncomfortable was the fact that both X and myself were in the room while this talk between the ex and our roomate (G). Not wanting to become involved beyond my current capacity as a sounding board for the ex’s ideas and thoughts, i grabbed a beer and have retired to my room.

I may get dressed up and go to the bar, because that is where my true love works - the waitress who brings me 24oz. glasses of Staroprammen.

So … ex and X were talking about ex’s ex, or X’s ex? Or was it ex’s ex-X (or ex-ex?)

My head hurts now. Got any Exedrin?

You had your ex and Dos Equis over for dinner, or you and your ex (who are still living together) had Dos Equis over for dinner?

I’m confused, as well. Quit bogarting the Excedrin, Uvula Donor.

You need to introduce some "O"s so we can follow the play as you diagram it on the chalk board.

Os? God help my liver if this gets more complicated! :smiley:
You wanted a diagram?

If ex is gonna stand a chance with that play X and Y had best try to split the line between the two O’s to the left. Otherwise you’re looking at a loss of yards.

This relationship would never have survived a zone blitz in a third-and-short situation anyway.

Gabe, m’man, the best advice that I can give you:

  1. Stay away from exes. If my own threads teach you anything, it should be this.
  2. If you’re going to stay in contact with them, be prepared to be inserted into unhealthy dramas.
  3. If you’re going to tell us about the unhealthy dramas, give your characters separate, distinct names so we can follow along.
  4. Read #1 again. Stay away from exes. They’re generally exes for a reason.

Ok, from now on:

-The ex will be referred to as The eX
-X (new boyfriend) will be referred to as “Xavier”, so I can still use my Dos Equis joke
-Y (current boyfriend) will be called “Randy”
-Roomate (G) will be referred to as “Suzy”
-Coach Ditka will be referred to as “Ditka”

I generally do, but my lack of financial means forced me to remain in this living situation. I can’t complain too much yet, since there is still the potential for amusement. And so far I’ve avoided being dragged in too deeply. Only 5 months to go…
