being single

[tothebeach08]

Be Happy! I'm one work day into singlehood and so far so good.

Thanks for that. What are doing tonight?

Things my ex wouldn't LET me do like watching porn and ripping down the wallpaper.

Yeah she was definitely wrong for intentionally flirting w/ the dude to piss him off but decking the guy wasn't a good solution no matter what way you look at it. That is unless he wanted to get put in jail.

I disagree. I'm thinking that was the best solution for that particular problem. If some guy is going to kick me out b/c he wants to be able to flirt with my gf, he's got another thing coming.

I'm not sure if cheap shoting some dude is good for either side. You're really lucky you didn't go to jail and have assult charges brought against you.

I wouldn't consider it a cheap shot since he had the gall to call me a loser and threaten to kick me out so he could continue to hit on my gf. He should have been ready for it, or he shouldn't have said it. Thems is fightin words And, right is right. If i have to deal with the legal side of it later, that's fine by me.

I use to feel exactly the same way but several thousand dollars and an aquittal later my thoughts on that have changed a little.

At least you were acquitted

yes but at the time losing the money hurt

had a disagreement (fistfight) with an, unbeknownst to me, drunken off duty cop and his buddy in a denny's parking lot at 4 in the morning. Long story short by the time it was over i was charged with Aggravated assualt, aggravated battery, battery, and resisting a police officer. 9 months later I was aquitted of all charges but still out my lawyer fees with no way to recoup it. All because he was an off duty cop and what he said was gold to the prosecuter. My lawyer brought forward a witness from the restaraunt who corroborated my story and the judge ruled in my favor.

That's close to what i plan on doing. My plans include drinking heavily and that's about it.

Sorry, man. That sucks. But, at least your lawyer did what he was supposed to.

point is that it all could have been avoided if I had just walked away....pride and booze wouldn't let me do that and it cost me......In your situation and if I were the same age as you I would have done exactly what you did to the bouncer. He knew what he was saying would put you to the test and unfortunately you fell for it just as I would have in my 20's. Fortunately however you werent hurt or arrested.
I have seen it go the other way 1st hand. I had a friend stabbed and almost killed while I was in the military simply because pride and the booze wouldn't let him walk away. Pride and booze is an awful mix....

I'm not saying "welcoming" her back w/ open arms but if he thinks that 99% of the time he was happy in the relationship then I think its kind of silly he throws it all away.

I'm not sure about you but NO relationship/marriage is great 100% of the time. Every couple is going to have something that they have to deal with, its just whether or not you think that person is worth it to deal w/ those issues.

I think it all depends on if that 1% issue is important enough. If it is an issue neither can budge on, then its probably best to move on.
