things to do INSTEAD of calling an ex?

[cookiepuss]

this thread actually is not about me. I'm not having any problems not contacting my ex...but one of my recently single girlfriends is getting all weak and sappy on me today and wants to call her ex and profess her undying love.:rolleyes: trust me...this is a bad idea for her. I want to give her a list of things she can do instead.

So gimme some ideas. you usual playground and bathroom humor is welcome. if I can't stop her at least I can perhaps give her a good laugh!

:cool:

Go into your bathroom and open up your make-up box (or drawer or bag or whatever you keep your stockpile in). You know all the stuff you bought but never wear - the purple eye shadow that looked cool and gothy in the advertising but on you it makes you look like you got punched in the face; the lipstick that says "coral" on the bottom but on your lips looks more like nuclear Tang; the mascara that promised to lengthen your lashes by six inches but in fact just turns them into giant blobby clumps? Put all that shit on. Think super-scary drag queen, and paint yourself up the most ridiculous face ever. If your hair is long enough, pile it all on top of your head like some hideous wedding cake. If it is not long enough for this, then tease it into something equally outrageous. Then take photos of yourself like this and post them on your facebook/myspace/whatever. If your feeling really in the mood for fun, go on to a singles website and make up a profile for yourself with said photos and see how many lame-o losers would still totally do you, given half a chance.

I was thinking it sounded like a to-do list in a Kathy comic. it also reminded me of rattan furniture. strange.

I learned a good technique from someone to help with things like this

You change their name in your phone to something associated with the reason why they are no good for you, or whatever, like my ex I put "No time for love" which represented to me exactly why I shouldn't waste my time on someone who had no time for me. Tell her to try that, might help. It's hard to face those words on your phone and still decide to call them.

Why keep his number at all?

it's hard for some people to just delete someone out of thier lives immediately. they'll usually delete it after some time has passed...but in the intial stages of the break up and especially if it was a long term relationship you aren't just going to take them out of your phone the day or the day after or even several weeks or months after you break up.

[Burnout18]

let her call,,,, unless he hit her, or cheated on her,,,, let her call

Pfft. When it's over, it's over.

Unless you're seriously, seriously friends without an underlying "maybe if we stay friends we'll get back together" motive, it's over.

Some of us are human aka weak, heartbroken, etc., and when you go through something like that, you just can't bring yourself to break off all ties. I'm not saying it should be like that, by any means. But unfortunately a lot of us have to wallow through the bullshit before getting over it.

[abcdefz]

With me, I react to being hurt by making sure everything is cut off rather than leaving any ties whatsoever.

There have been two exceptions: one didn't work out the second time, and in the other case, we were good friends for so long beforehand
that we were out drinking coffee togather again the very next night. She's truly the One That Got Away, though.

[TAL]

She didn't call me (!)

[BangkokB]

hire a Private Investigator to find out where she is

Actually, you can do that on the cheap...Give a Picture, and never give a price on the $ exchanged(not to exceed 1จจ skikley lines, and some Vodka and you can warm the earth

[cookiepuss]

let her call,,,, unless he hit her, or cheated on her,,,, let her call

oh sure. friends don't let friends be desperate and pathetic.

[Loppfessor]

Call me!

and if he's busy call me!

[abcdefz]

Thus, I have no friends.

I guess I should give advice, since I did really well with the no calling. in fact, I have only called him twice since the break up 5 months ago. the last time was probably 3 months ago. we were texting each other for a bit soon after the break up until we had a major blow out "fight" (it was basically me just yelling and crying).

I gave in and emailed while drunk a couple of times about a month ago though.

anyway, I just kept busy and if I felt like calling, I'd stare at the phone and be like, "don't call, don't be a loser, don't call, don't do it don't do it don't do it". and then maybe text a girlfriend or something. or read about the war.


I don't know if it's helped though. I am still deeply sad and depressed. I had to go into the bathroom and have a lil' cry in the middle of this post actually. WEAK.

*SMACK* Nope. I'm not going to let you call yourself weak just because you are emotional. you're ok. and even 5 months later it's still ok to have sorrow.


I've been doing pretty good since my break-up. been happy even, probably because i really started mourning the loss of the relationship several months before we actually broke up, so most of the crying was done then. But just when i was thinking that I'm not missing him at all, i got a little sad today. luckily I have no desire to call him...but the sadness kinda hit me out of the blue.

nah i'm just sayin, cause i had a relationship end because my gf's friend didn't like me... think about it when you are mad at your girl/guy who bitch to who? your friends.... so after a few fights, this girl got into our business and convinced her to end it with me... and a few months later she came back and we ended up almost getting back together.... but we didnt because i was pissed she would leave me because of what a friend told her to do.... well im just saying, unless he hit her, or cheated on her let her do what she wants.
