Rant: Working with ex

[wart57]

Just ignore her, I have been doing that more and more when Mrs. Wart goes off, and it makes her shut up. She is just itching for a fight, and when I don't give her one, she just simply shuts up. I also like to talk to her like nothing happened mere seconds after she is done screaming, it drives her nuts.

Seem like a nice guy...coming off a bit like a vag here though.

If you want to stop getting dumped via text message, you have to learn how to stand up for yourself and get to where you don't give a [expletive] about people who would treat you like this. In fact, you should easily not give a [expletive] and able to respectfully stand up for yourself in this situation.

Say this with no malice...just an outsiders view.

My advice on women: Ignore ex gf's. It drives them nuts. Soon enough, she'll send you novels via text message at midnight. Don't give in. Ignore it. If she repeatedly calls or texts, tell her you're out with friends. She'll either leave you alone or kill herself. Either way, you can move on.

Solid advice.

Yeah, but you guys act like it's all part of the ex GF's master plan. It very well could be just the standard issue "breakups are tricky" reason. How many people break up only to hook up again? There's usually a lot of indecisiveness or regrets around break ups.

Planet p brings up a good point. She's likely insane and definitely dumb, so, you know, don't blame her for that.

So you're saying her being a complete [expletive] is standard operating procedure? Her emasculating him & trying to make him look stupid in front of co-workers is definitely some sort of "plan" on her part. It was pretty easy to recognize how she operates when she decided that breaking up w/ him via text on Christmas Eve was any sort of civil way to break up w/ a person they even remotely cared about.

She accidentally broke up with him via text? Or are you saying that she had to because she was afraid 3rd was going to beg and plead if she did it in person?

My comment was more directed at tgantz and my board pet peeve of generalizing women or making them out to be some kind of different species. I should have clarified. In no way was Third Man's experience kosher.

no one is making women out to be a different species. If I got on the board and said, "Hey, I just dumped this girl via text. On Christmas Eve no less!" the responses would not have been kind. Further, if I went on to say that I was being an [expletive] just to make her uncomfortable at work, I am 100% certain the responses wouldn't have been kind.

Just because 3rds ex is a girl isn't why tgantz ripped her. It's becuase she's insane and stupid. he's obviously met someone like her before.
