Real Friends

My friend (we'll call her Rebekah) just came out of a bad relationship. Reader's Digest version: He was manipulative, controlling, and a candyass pansie. Because of this, she practically alienated her family and most of her friends (she couldn't get rid of me if she wanted to)--he wanted to know if she would give up her family, friends, and grad school for him. Much as I tried, I could not convince her of his mind-game-playing ways. I don't blame her, I did the same thing when she tried to warn me about my ex.

Now her self-worth is close to zero. Her other friends don't want to hang out because they feel like she was ignored them while she was with him. Yeah, it pissed me off that she ignored me while she was with him, but I also knew it would end badly and that she would be in desperate need of a friend when it did.

Beside, she did the same for me.

Of All The Weird Things

So, I finally felt guilty for telling the ex to go to hell. I'm actually adjusting really well, but I felt like this is the last thing I need to do before I really move on (since there are several viable "options" around these days...).

I found his profile on myspace, dropped a short "hey..." kinda message, and crossed my fingers in hopes that I could just apologize and move on. Nay nay. He tried to add me to his friends list!!! What kind of ass does that? In response I told him I just wanted to apologize, wish him well, and move on with my life. I'm not into digging at the scars of old wounds. Yes, it may have only been five months but I'm dealing very nicely, thank you.

Eh, whatevs.
