Getting over an awful breakup

My hero, Tom Leykis, used to say all the time that no one under the age of 25 should be in a relationship, period. You are TOO YOUNG at that point, and he's right. But, it's too easy. Women use them to validate themselves and to others that they are in demand and are wanted. Men fall for this trap because it's easier than playing the field. So they put up with mind games and the bullshit. Because, after all, it's what you're SUPPOSED to do.

If some woman I was dating showed me text messages and FB postings talking about how much they hated me, I'd laugh my ass off.

 

No shit, huh? That would be the end of that relationship for me, too. I guess it's tough to see that at 23, though, when b.s. drama, Facebook, and texting are the Big Three that dominate one's existence.

 

Of course. Women are invested in kicking a man when he's down. He's "not worthy."

 

Aw Shucks, I'm Blushing. Or Is That Just A Cherry Glaze?

 

No, a cherry glaze is what you are creating

 

Had a breakup once when I had just turned 21. One of those who let the Lord decide everything she did. And I mean everything. Railed against organized religion for a while. Then I got over it... a few months after the breakup, I took up baseball card collecting. Been an enjoyable hobby of mine for over 20 years now.

As for the "friends of hers" who couldn't stand you? Fuck em. If you see one of them doing something inappropriate on Facebook, find out where this person works. Make sure they see it.

I'm tongue in cheek on that, of course, but remember what they say about how revenge is best served.

 

I thought you were Raisin Ham for the longest time. Not sure why. Just seemed right.

 

I don't speak Jive.

 

That actually makes me blissfully happy. Thanks you, mustangj!

 

No, she's Sandy. Duh

 

I've gotten over many breakups, and they've gotten over me, and some have hurt, and some not so much, and some I did the hurting, but one thing to be happy about: My last, biggest, most important one has cost me 10s of thousands of dollars and I'll be paying until this summer, at which time, I'll have about 25 years to dig out of massive debt so I can retire when I'm 80.

So if you didn't get that deal, then count your relative blessings.
