7-8 months ago, my boyfriend of 17 months & I broke up. We haven't said a word to each other since, despite the fact that the breakup wasn't exactly terrible, we promised we would be friends, after perhaps a month or so after, to give ourselves time to get over it a little.
Anyway, he just came online & I attempted to talk to him & this is all I get:

We're behaving like insects says:
geez
We're behaving like insects says:
i thought you didn't exist any more or something
We're behaving like insects says:
how are you?
- says:
I dont want to talk to you
- says:
Why would I ?
We're behaving like insects says:
because it's been 7 months? & it's getting ridiculous now. how can you still be holding a grudge for that long? it's a shame
- says:
Its been longer than that! I've been with Melissa for over 8 months...
We're behaving like insects says:
well we broke up in September.. so maybe you're right. anyway, surely that just makes it worse? 8 months & you still refuse to talk to me, I think that's a bit childish
- says:
your a joke

I'm We're behaving like insects.

Anyway, granted that our relationship hadn't been perfect, he cheated on me 6 months in & after that I cheated on him quite a bit as well. Which now I know was terrible of me, but at the time I justified it by saying he wasn't giving me what I wanted/ needed. He was quite abusive, he hit me several times, & would often 'play fight' with me which included hitting me & strangling me. & now i know that that was wrong as well. We were both shit people for each other & yet over this time I have forgiven him & yet he won't forgive me. I've also heard rumours that he did a hell of a lot of cheating that I never found out about..

This really has no purpose to it, I just really needed to rant. I think he's being a shit head & now I have no desire to attempt to talk to him ever again

Boys are rubbish

good. he sounds like an awful person.
don't waste your time.

i understand where you're coming from though. i went thru a similar situation with an abusive ex once, where he stopped talking to ME and i was like wtf? you were the fuckhead! but i got over it really fast, and then he came crawling back to me and i got to turn around and do the same to him. karma is lovely.

but really, there's no point in wasting any time or energy on people like that.

no
boys aren't rubbish.
That cunt is rubbish.
I swear to god. I could fucking kill that son of a gun.

I TOLD YOU HE WAS SHIT.
From THE START.

piece of pratt head

I am sad that you even wanted to remain friends. You didn't seem to respect each other at any level. Your verdict is correct. There is no need to have him around and much less as a 'friend.'

The fresh heartbreak was, in a sense, like being in a foreign country; everything seemed alien, brilliant and glinting. It was as if I’d been flayed, so that even the air hurt. When you’re that unhappy, any glimmer of beauty or consolation feels like running into an old friend abroad, or seeing mountaintops through smog. Maybe we mistakenly think we want “happiness,” which we tend to picture in very vague, soft-focus terms, when what we really crave is the harder-edged intensity of experience.

Don't be angry
You should be glad you never have to talk to him again
I'm sure you won't mind me saying, but he sounds like a bit of a prick.

And boys aren't rubbish...well, some aren't.
