No.

This man tormented me and ruined my life, seemingly for kicks. I am going to do my best to avoid him when possible, and if he insists to visit PAX even though he knows I'll be there, I'm getting him kicked out. He deserves much, much worse for what he did.

He did not "ruin your life," but continuing to drag out the situation in a childish attempt to make him pay will certainly do a fine job of making it feel that way for next ____ weeks/months. This is not going to teach him a lesson. He will not magically reform his ways and become a model boyfriend to you or anyone else because of a revenge plot.

You are literally inviting him to remain a presence in your life, to continue making things difficult and frustrating and painful. Get. The Fuck. Over it. Sooner rather than later.

So am I just not supposed to go to PAX to avoid him? X.X That's not fucking fair. He can't toy with me like this AND get to ruin my favorite weekend of the year.

.... ugh, I'll think about going without getting him booted. I don't like the idea though.

I don't know what PAX is like, but I would imagine it's a pretty large place. If you see him, then you walk away. Go someplace else in the building. If he tries to engage you, bother you, taunt you, then you walk away. Don't give him the satisfaction.

Life is not about running away, nor is it about vengeance.

Exactly. There shall be no more whining like that about a guy that's made you feel the way you do now, Lucario. You're not with him anymore. What he does that doesn't relate to you is not of your concern. So if you just so happen to catch a glimpse of him at PAX East (unlikely), move on. Just like Cosmic Bus said.
 
That, I agree.
As "fun" as it sounds and even I said it sounded (:p); in the end is not the best way.

In that, okay..you'll get him out of PAX, but that's it. You''ll continue erased from his Facebook, you'll continue feeling the same or probably worse, since you'll probably going to continue looking for ways to "get back at him"; even if it means falling for the first guy you see...multiple times.

Yeah, what happened sucked..and more considering the way it happened (not an actual closure, and more like "pfft, whatever").
But, just try to work things out on your end, so that if you happen to see him at PAX; he can see that things in your end just got better.

;)
 
Grow a pear Zach.


More seriously do not give him the satisfaction of getting back at him. People have given you good advice, he's acting like a teen: blocking you, deleting you and pretending you don't exist anymore? Not wanting to tell you directly let's break up because he wants to feel better about himself? Girl, please.

Take solace in the fact that he's fat and be glad that a lowlife piece of shit like him is out of your life. You deserve better and you know it. Work on yourself and on getting better and know that he will get what he deserves sooner or later.

The subject-object dichotomy doesn't actually exist, it's just an intellectual concept that obstructs pure and undiluted experience. So there's no 'you' to feel vindictive and no 'him' to punish, it's all just the same substance (pure awareness). So if you hurt him you're really hurting yourself. This isn't mystical/metaphysical bullshit, it's just the way our awareness is. Think of when you're thinking or acting in a hateful way, you're basically welcoming hatefulness into yourself. Not only is it not worth putting ourselves through that, but it becomes a habit and it becomes easier to think or act in a hateful way.
 
Welp. Boyfriend of over two years.

-Last week started working out. Took it as a sign, cautiously joked about him getting ready to leave my dumb ass, and he reacted by telling me he'd never leave me and loved me, etc, etc, etc. Believed him.

-Started sending me messages every morning because I told him I was getting lonely (we're long distance, have been for a few weeks). I thought it was adorable, and our relationship was going really well. I had been having trouble... er.... getting attracted to him recently, as he'd been gaining some weight and not really taking care of himself before he went back to college (I obviously loved him enough that he was the only man I was attracted to. Just... less attracted). I figured the gym, the messages, etc, were his ways of making me feel better.

-Thursday night, he, unprovoked, tells me he loves me while we're camchatting. This isn't out of the ordinary, I just wanted to point it out. I'd been suspicious about his intentions (he'd been talking to other gay dudes on facebook more than me; I don't get jealous, but I knew something was up) despite crossing off the gym as innocuous. I tell him about my worries. He tells me everything's fine, he isn't going to leave me, etc etc.



-Friday, he goes to a party, sexts me repeatedly even while he's there, and kind of vanishes around an hour into the party, not responding to my last text. I ignore it, assume he's having fun and don't want to bother him.


Friday night he calls me and says he's lonely and feels like we've grown apart and doesn't know what to do. I tell him long distance is hard, that I've been lonely too, that I still love him, etc.

He says he still loves me.

I console him for nearly an hour, doing everything I can to cheer him up. He sounds like he's on the verge of tears. He really stresses the "feel like we've been growing apart" thing. I ask him if visiting him would help; I had the weekend off (having just failed a class) and he was only 5 hours away or so. He said no.

I ask him if he was planning to leave me. He said no.

Another half an hour, he says, and I quote

"I don't know if this is going to work out"

Cannot tell if I was just broken up with

"Sorry."

Welp. That's a "probably."

"C...can I see you over webcam?"

OKAY NOW I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA IF YOU JUST DUMPED ME

I agree to see him on webcam, and asked him why he wanted to see me if he just dumped me. He kind of smiles; he just wanted to break up with me without actually saying the fucking words, so he'd be a better person in his own eyes.

He says some faux-supportive bullshit.

I rage at him for leading me on.

He changes the relationship status on facebook within SECONDS of this chat. Probably during it, and.... deletes it.

Then friends a gay guy.

Then blocks me and unfriends me on every service possible.




I did not know I was capable of this much hatred.

i know i'm late to this, but fuck. your ex is a complete asshole. you should be glad that you're done with that.

Why the hell did this make me feel better? I don't even understand it fully.


....thanks. xD Would still be nice if he'd give me closure, but I really don't want to deal with him anymore. I still feel for him.... Hopefully that'll go away in the next week or so.

Haha, I'm not sure, I'm kind of glad that I made some sense, since I'm not really good at explaining this stuff :p The idea is basically just that "I" or "mine" is an illusion (same with "them" or "theirs"). We don't really experience life that way when you really examine what you're experiencing on a momentary basis. It's all just experience, without the added categories of "mine", etc. For example, you can think of pain, if you think of it as "my pain", you're injecting yourself into the experience and then you tend to try to push it away. But this isn't true to the experience, in our experience there's no "you" experiencing the pain... truthfully there is only 'the experience of pain'.

And as soon as you just observe it as "pain" and stop trying to push it out, it just becomes a phenomenon, like more of a neutral and constantly shifting energy, instead of being so much this vague negative sensation that we want away from us. That's pain, which is different from feelings, but feelings are like that too. Feel whatever you feel, really experience it in the exact moment that it occurs, as only what it is and nothing more. Not only will you understand your feelings better, but these sorts of mental events are often like thieves in the night: as soon as you turn your eyes on them, they shrink away and disappear... but ignore them and they can silently devastate you.

What he did to you was quite cruel, and I imagine almost anyone would have substantial difficulty dealing with these feelings (I know for a fact that I would), but viewing it in this way (this is essentially just mindfulness) it's more likely that you'll really and honestly process everything you're feeling and move on.

I agree with everything except for the bold.

This probably sounds silly or stupid, but as bad and harmful as he might be, I don't think it has anything to do with him getting out of shape (or getting fatter).

That's not fair to fat people and I would tell you exactly the same if we were talking about short people, or bald persons, nearsighted, etc., specially when we have our very own gaffers having self-esteem problems or issues with their bodies.

If you want to call him names (not saying that you should) or take comfort in your misfortune, do it because of his despicable personality or the detestable way he conducts himself, you know... the things that actually make him a bad person.

Sorry for the small rant, but this is something that has always bothered me and I can't stand it when people judge because of that.

This is very well thought out and written.

I agree with everyone who's telling you that the best thing you could do right now put him out of your mind and live your life.

As they say: living well is the best revenge.

For example...

68IYk.jpg


This is Mariah (of course), her ex husband Tommy Mottola (record executive), and his bargain basement new wife. This photo was taken in 2005, and Mariah was meeting the new wife for the first time. Of course, 2005 was also the year that Mariah got her gorgeous figure back and released The Emancipation of Mimi. She was back on top musically and had never looked better. In other words, it was the worst possible year for Mottola's new wife to run into Mariah. Never had she ever been made to feel more basic, and see that grin? Mariah knew it.

So say it with me now: Don't be bitter. Be Mariah.
 
Sagitario, you are 110% correct. Everything you just said was on point. Like you said, even if its just a silly comment criticize him for the things that actually makes him a bad person and not his physical appearance.

Hehehe. Agree...
Though, Thalia is pretty and a good singer/actress too; so may not be Mariah but neither was a "bargain basement". :p
 
So I'm at a post-Super Bowl bar/club party, and I see said guy. He comes up and says hi to me, chit chats. I'm not sure if it was to save face to whatever, but I was also on my way out. At this point, I kind of want some gay friends I wouldn't mind going out with every once in a while. And I really like meeting other kids that went my school, since there are so few of them in LA. Should I text him and be like "hey, sorry I bounced, I'm really looking for gay/bucknell friends in LA." Or some variation of that? Cause I really do want some gay friends and people that went to my college. Moreso than a hookup, honestly.

And thankfully I looked good tonight.

I think texting him is a good plan.
And what did I tell ya? :)

But I'd probably leave out the "I'm really looking for friends" part. It's always weird when people do that. And besides, friendship's not all you want if you're really being honest with yourself. So best to leave it honest and open and not paint yourself into a corner.

Just send him a quick "sorry I had to leave. It was nice running into you." text, and take it from there.

Hehehe. Agree...

That's who that is? Oh...
 
At the same time, if this was the same guy that after sex, stopped talking to you, then walked out of the bar you were when he saw you; before causally talking just now..why should said text-message start with "sorry" ? :p

If anything, just say something like "Was nice bumping to you, let me know if you want to hang out sometime" or something like that.


That's who that is? Oh...
Hehehe..yeah, plus they met some years after divorcing Mariah (and Mottolla dating a few ladies) so it wasn't like it was a quick rebound. :p

Still Mariah looked good! haha

And I just love that she's wearing all white to what is clearly a formal, little black dress affair.
 
Good point.

Er, already sent the "sorry i had to leave" one. Oh well. I doubt anything will come of it, I really do think he was trying to save face for being an asshole the other night. But thanks guys!

She looked so different in 'Precious', kinda surprising too.

Oh well. XD
But yeah, at least you tried and did your part. Plus with your good looks, is not like it will be harder for you to make more friends. :p
 
Hehehe. Agree...

Noooo. Thalia as in "Maria Mercedes"? I don't get it, she's hot, why is she with someone who looks like a sleaze? Anyway, I used to have a crush on her as a young boy.

As for life, I encountered this hot muscly hunk in a Japanese class when I was trying to find out my class' whereabouts. He winked at me but unforch I'm one class higher than him (his class is still learning Hiragana/Katana stuff). FML. I was tempted to downgrade my class just to be in the same class as him but then my conscience said out loud "How desperate/pathetic are you?" Still FML. Why can't I start Japanese in the same semester as him?
 
You're right Sagitario, I apologize for the insensitive comment.

For what it's worth, I was reacting to the fact that Lucario wrote that his ex had put on some weight and that as a result he seemed to be less attracted to him physically.
