my ex boyfriend has a blog....that's where the problems start

my ex has a blog which he started shortly after we broke up. he told me about it and since i'm a nosy librarian with serious confidence in her web-searching skills i went looking for it, not cuz i actually wanted to see it (well, maybe a little) but because i wanted to prove to myself (and him) that i rock! well, i found his blog and now i'm starting to regret that i did. for a while it was fine to read it but now he's starting to dissect our relationship, which is totally his right, but i just see him as being totally off base with things....and that makes me want to comment and say, "fuck man, that is not why we broke up! " but i can't because it would be stupid of me to engage him in that. so now i need to untrain myself and not read his blog anymore which is a little difficult after reading it since fucking february. but it's not healthy for me to keep reading about how he thinks i 'gave up' on the relationship, how i'm bound to recreate the same situation again, etc., etc.

i think i need some kind of system that will give me a shock whenever i go to his blog. on second thought, i might enjoy that too much...

Curiosity killed the cat! Is that apropos here?

I've done the same thing with someone's blog. They don't know that I know that they have one. On one hand, there's that whole thing that you actually could find it. But there's been a thing or two that I've seen written that I now have to be careful about. I can't mention certain things, or all hell would break loose. But there's still that desire to keep going back.

In your case, you have to weigh the benefits of being able to read it. Does he know you read it? Do his friends read it? If he knows his audience, he might write differently than if he didn't. I know I certainly do. If you continue, don't put any stock into what he says. You'll go nuts. Above all, don't confront him! You'll read all about it the next day!

using a blog to get back at an ex is so... what's the word? immature? easy? i'm so against that, i can't even begin to tell you. it's such a waste of time. the world (in general) doesn't give ONE SHIT about your failed relationship. go cry to a bartender somewhere, loser.

btw, i'm referring to your ex-bf, not you (whoever you are)

oh and one last thing. take whatever i say with a grain of salt because i'm pretty sure i qualify as just another guy who'd end up "screwing you over" again. let me apologize for that in advance. i'm really sorry. you deserve better. go ahead and cross me off the list I guess.

Oh, goodie! Makes me happy to know that exes freak out over Blogs their exes write about them! Sorry YOU are suffering with this, Ago-go, but it is exactly what the Dr. ordered for my ex-, too! Funny thing is I will be telling only stories that are absolutely truthful & factual.

But it is going to take me a long time to get around to the REALLY-good-stuff, darn it! It is emotionally draining on ME to post publically about the screw-jobs SHE pulled! And I have to think about HER to do it! Maybe there is some consolation for you in that.

Need any troops to help you out on this? I can spam as well as anyone!

And who exactly is God? Show yourself, I say!

Oh, and don't go hide. Post his email for all to see and ridicule!!! And let him know you did it!

It is both fascinating and stupefying to watch this unfold from both sides of it, boy howdy.

He still doesn't know you have one, I take it?

Bug him til he movies it. Immature but absolutely worth the trouble.

His blog is his catharsis. It doesn't have to be totally honest or even realistic and that is what makes it healing for him. Even though he may have made some posts out of spite, I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of knowing that I care or that what he wrote effected me in anyway.

Well said Ruben. Just erase your Bookmarks Ago and try really hard to never view it. It will be better that way.

God--Aha!

Ago-go--be careful of what you're asking for with this punishment thing!

Ago, does he read yours? My ex reads mine. I take full advantage. Why yes, I am an immature bitch.

I just read his blog. Dude.

Stop reading it. Remove the bookmark.

this is rather mean, but i've been thinking about it (since my ex has a blog too). How 'bout getting someone to hack it? Or do it yourself? That will show him, for sure!

Blogger ago-go said...

megan, he still doesn't know where my blog is and i'd really like to keep it that way. and i'm glad you read it and see the ummm, situation. bookmark removed.

florsie, i would so love to hack it but that would just drag out this mess and cause more problems for me i'm sure.

Dude. Your ex's blog makes ME furious, and I don't even know the guy.

Don't suppose you want to send us the link so we can see what a dick he is for ourselves, would you?

os, i appreciate the suuport but i'm not passing on the address. i'm going to be a grown up and let this go...this is me letting it go...

Blogger egan said...

As much as I want to see his site, I applaud you for not passing it on. Let it go. He's an ass and he's in the past. Move along and forget about the one nut wonder.

OK, see your FIRST mistake was to actually go looking for his Blog. I mean, what do we use Blogs for, if not to rant about stuff like our relationships (IE. my 20 year marriage) it was only a matter of time before he put something there that would certainly annoy you. Stop now, while you can. :)
