So this past week I got in touch with one of my past girlfriends. Now, I know that many find it strange, but I always try to be friends with my ex-girlfriends. I don't tend to casually date and I feel like these people know me best. What would it say about me if they didn't like me. So anyways, after not talking to one of them for quite a bit of time (ie, years, not months) I sent off an email to her catching her up on what I've been up to the last two years. After about a month or so, I saw her come online so I dropped her an instant message (I knew her IM from her AOL name on her email). We end up chatting and I give her a call. We talked twice last week and it was really nice to get back in touch with her.
From what she told me she's in a really bad relationship right now. The guy tends to drink... a lot. And aparently he's not the nicest when he does. He also tends to be overly jealous and can't stand her even associating with other guys. She tells me she's not happy, but doesn't know how to get out of it. I give her my two cents and we move on to talk about other things. Well a few days later I get a nice email from her telling me how nice it was to talk again. I didn't have time to reply at the time, so when I saw her sign on last night I droped her an IM. Here's the actual transcript (with names changed, obviously):
Me: Hey there
Me: thanks for the note
ExG irlfriend: yea what note?:
Me: the emailExGirlfriend: sure, yes i wanted u to have it
Me: cool - well I'm gonna go to bed. Have a good night.
ExGirlfriend: mike you there
ME: yeah?
ExGirlfriend: you two u bastard drop dead dont u ever contact this hoiuse again unless u want a beating of ur life (Asshole's signature)
Me: whatever
ExGirlfriend: eat shit u home wrecker
ExGirlfriend: find ur own women basytard
ExGirlfriend signed off.
I was suspicious after ExGirlfriend didn't realize what I was talking about, but I didn't think the Asshole knew my name. So I responded when the Asshole responded to me. I'm sorry, but what type of sorry ass loser do you have to be that you are so insecure that you sign into your girlfriends account to check up on her and then threaten her friends. His type of jerkoff never learned that a good relationship requires you to trust the other one - and yes (gasp!) they will have friends of the opposite sex. If you're that insecure you should get your own shit straigt before you start trying to share your life with someone else. And what type of mentality is it to threaten to beat someone up who's over 3 states away. Oh yeah buddy, I'm coming in to steal your girlfriend. Oh yeah. You better get you best baseball bat and a case of beer and drive over to kick my ass. If you're that paranoid better look out for the UFO's which are coming too.
And I'm sure that anything else that's gone wrong in his life - no other women leaving, no DUI's, and no nights spent in Jail - are his fault either. I almost pity him. But not quite. I sincerely hope that my friend (ie. ExGirlfriend) can manage to get out of that relationship as soon as possible. She deserves better.
