List

In case you've never tried it, o reader, one of the best ways to get over someone is to make a list of things about them that drove you crazy (in a bad way). I did this for my ex over a year ago when he dumped me. But the whole situation is on my mind quite a bit over the last few weeks since he got engaged to my coworker, as noted in a previous post. Yesterday, I noticed a new picture of the two of them on her desk (she is on a work trip and not around), and, well, it kind of pissed me off. So I am going to post the highlights of the aforementioned list, only in a new light.

I never imagined I'd be that girl who blasts her exes on the internet . . . but nor did I ever imagine he truly had so little class, and that he could pull something this shady on anyone, much less me. I am hurt, and this is a much healthier method of coping than tracking him down and slapping him.

13 Things About Him That Are Not My Problem Anymore and That I Hope She Has Fun With

  • He's not really that attractive. I was probably out of his league, and I'm pretty sure she is.
  • His old, dorky glasses frames that he felt were as much a part of him as his nut sack.
  • He wore the same pair of shoes every day. And they were so brown, they were almost red.
  • His OBSESSION with jazz.
  • Snoring. It was BAD. I would lay there and wonder how it was possible for a human to make that style of noise.
  • He talked constantly but COULDN'T COMMUNICATE.
  • His car was FILTHY inside and he cleaned it out once in the 1.5 years we dated.
  • For one split second, one time, I got scared that he was about to hit me.
  • He thought it was funny to speak in an Asian-English accent (as in "herro" instead of "hello" - being that she is Asian, I wonder if he still does this).
  • He laughed, in my face, at my religious beliefs, yet demanded I have respect for his athiest ones.
  • He preferred to jump off my balcony in the mornings rather than accept my offered spare key.
  • He brought me flowers ONCE during that 1.5 years.
  • He promised he'd always be there for me.
