While wrapped up in my J depression (not gonna lie, this is the shittiest I've felt in a long time. I'm going to even say shittier than when we first broke up. I should've said fuck having money and just gone out this weekend instead of dwellling in my misery.), I haven't mentioned I've been hearing from my ex, Moron, frequently. I find it bothersome to even type about it because I am so over him and that whole year and a half of agony. He wasn't entirely horrendous, he just wasn't me and I stuck around WAY TOO LONG and it just got uglier and uglier. I ran into him a couple months ago and then again a couple weeks ago and he acted like a moron. However he's pretty intelligent, so shocking. We chat once in a while now about work - he asks me for advice and I ask him what he thinks. Anyway, he kept pressing me to hang out this weekend and kept saying he knows I miss him (this is all through text) and my response was, "now I know how my ex feels when I say this shit." He says, "so you miss me huh" and I said, "no, I just feel stupid." hah.
Last night I have a dream about my ex I dated throughout college, on and off. Who dumped me right after we graduated and I was beyond heartbroken and lost 15 pounds. (3-4 months later I met Moron.) In the dream I believe we were married, and happy. He's a happy guy. We didn't talk for a while but now we do occassionally. I actually called him hysterical at 2am the nite J dumped me and he talked to me for a good half hour as I bawled and snotted all over myself. He called me later to make sure I was okay too. So I text him today like hey you were in my dream last night. I walk into the gym literally 2 minutes later and there he is. WEIRD? I broke his heart back in the day (during the 1st off period...things were never the same after that). Sigh. Tomorrow is his birthday. 2 years ago on his birthday I made him some sweet cupcakes.
So obviously it's time to get back on the horse. Me & J haven't REALLY been together for a few months now. It's time to date. I tried Plenty of Fish, it was not for me. Too... much like a cheap Adult Friend Finder. Ew. When Moron & I broke up last summer, conveniently right around my birthday, I signed up for Eharmony. I ended up meeting two guys, 1 was a psycho and wanted to rush (it was painfully obviously..although I guess he was 31 and thats where he was at in life) and the other was just too far but he's a cool guy. So since Eharm just sent me an email saying I could sign up for $20 a month for 3 months I went for it. I really didn't like it too much when I had my subscription, but I think it will force me to focus my attentions elsewhere away from J. No one can search for me, which I like. My matches are delivered and I don't need to do anything unless I think they're 1. hott 2. have a decent profile. What the hell do I have to lose besides $60 (billed monthly, so that's half a tank of gas a month), despite being broke I'll take my chances. It could be fun...right?
Today: Day 1 of no-contact with J. I can do this. I'm really freaking sad though.

I think it's awesome you're going back out there! I think with everything you've learned from Argov you are so well armed!
ReplyDeleteAnd at the very least you'll get some great dinners and drinks out of the deal! Order lobster and a martini with each date :)
