Okay ... so common sense has prevailed. So has guilt, but I can't claim that as being part of the plan. That was her own doing. Anyway, Mom has made the decision (Final Answer) to NOT move to BC at this time. She agrees that she needs to save up money ... and allow me time to do the same so that she doesn't leave me in the lurch. She is also offended that I'm waiting for her to change her mind again. (I won't stop waiting until the new lease is signed.) That's what you get for being impulsive all the time!
Next ... I discovered that among FB's need to re-arrange and upgrade things, they've also created a new Messages file for items from Non-Friends, etc. What a cache of messages I have discovered. One was from a person who asked for dirt on Jade, asked for "my side" of the story, and my opinion as to whether or not she should invest any more of her time with him. Apparently, it would make her feel better if she knew he had also treated me badly. Oh, and he may have cheated on me with her a long time ago.
WHAT?
How do these people find me? We don't have any friends in common on FB. Seriously, I spent a long time looking just to be sure, because it sounds like somebody has been talking about me behind my back. After gathering what info I could (and it was little) I finally wrote her back. I'm considering blocking her too, but first things first. I decided what angle I was going respond with and let it fly with minimal info. I hope she reads it and chokes.
Here: You be the judge ...
Hi (Lea). You don't know me from adam, but we've had mutual friends over the years. I really hope that I am not crossing the line or opening up a can of worms here. I've known (Jade) a long time. Sometimes he's great and other times he's well.. an ass. Anyway, without stepping over boundaries, or opening old wounds...I'm interested to hear your side of the story of your relationship with him...before I invest any more time. Feel free to ignore this too if you don't feel comfortable responding. It'd be comforting to know that he's treated other women in his life poorly...I'm not sure what to believe from him anymore but I think in the past he may have dated both of us at the same time without us knowing about it. I could be wrong about that. That's just an assumption.
Take care.
And my eventual response ...
I apologise for taking so long to respond. FB's refurbs tucked away a number of messages on me and I've only just discovered the cache.
If you are interested in hearing my side of the story, then I must find myself curious as to who has already told you theirs. I cannot find any mutual friends with you on FB. I feel that this places me at a double disadvantage.
As for investing more time, I am somewhat astounded by your request to hear more about my boyfriend so that you can decide about dating him. That's gutsy. I'm honestly not sure if I should admire you, or punch you in the face.
As for him dating two of us (or more) at once, you wouldn't believe the number of messages I've received in the last 20 years that tried to say the same thing. They all had one thing in common ... no proof. Most don't even try to offer any. According to him, you are just a friend that he once tried to date back in the 90's, but it didn't work. I'm willing to believe that.
My side of the story? He's not available. Thanks for writing.
If she's telling the truth, he's now in a world of trouble. I'm not sorry about that, by the by. I am seriously tired of getting notes like this. I am NOT the only ex that Jade has. I'm just the one that lasted longest. He has other exes on his FB list. I've seen them. None of them are getting these letters. Who the dickens contacts their boyfriend's ex and asks if he is worth keeping? This woman is supposedly an Executive with Addictions and Mental Health (according to FB) ... doesn't that mean she's a big girl now and can pull up her own panties?
Dear Sluts, Bitches, and Those Who Must Not Be Named; (I swear, this is the one time I would like to use the c-word.)
I don't care if you thought you were in love with Jade once, or think it now. I don't care if he banged you in the bathroom of a bar, or if you are one of his weepy one, or two, night stand conquests. I don't care if you think you own him. Do you really think I want to hear that he PROBABLY cheated on me with you? If you really think this is a problem that requires my attention (especially WELL AFTER we've separated) then be prepared to provide honest proof. Also be prepared to get checked for an STD, darlings. He's got one.
STOP CONTACTING ME! Did you read the part where I DON'T CARE?
Have a nice day!
Seriously. Do I need to start wearing hats made of tin foil? Get a life, people!
Meanwhile, back at headquarters ...
Mom and I started moving furniture in the living room today. It's an experiment. A pox on rectangular living rooms. Looking good so far though ... just have to move some big shelves and the TV (which I will carefully rewire so that the DVD player works!!) and Voila! The new floor plan! Not exactly Party friendly, but I'm sure it's workable in case of just such an emergency. ;)
Ah, yes, that reminds me of another fight. somebody wrote me in regards to my advertising on a page in FB. Apparently, I'm too pushy and not giving anybody else a chance. LOL! No, not really. And instead of writing me nasty letters, all they had to do was introduce themselves ('cause I hadn't noticed any consultants). I would be happy to share my advertising. That's how it works in PartyLite. Anyway, I won't get into it, needless to say, she declared that she was going to be speaking to her Unit Leader about me. Pfft. Okay. So, I contacted mine ... who promptly told me not to worry about it. I wasn't doing anything wrong.
It's been a busy couple of days for me. On a lighter side, I did manage to take myself out to a movie last night. Sherlock Holmes 2 is exquisite. I plan on going again tomorrow, with a friend this time, and seeing it again. Should I wear a mask in hopes of avoiding more letters?
Sweet Dreams!
UPDATE: The Cow's Response
ReplyDelete"Perhaps then, you should ask your boyfriend for the real truth. I think he has a skewed version of what truth really is.
Enjoy your life with him. I am glad he is no longer a part of mine."
Apparently, that wasn't enough for her because she sent another note soon after.
"I always knew he was lying to me. Just never knew who he was lying about."
Sorry, wretched bovine, but this still isn't enough to convince that you are anything but a hammy actress - an easy accomplishment on-line. Still no proof. And no offer to back up the story. Did you expect me to go into Victorian vapours?
She immediately blocked me, by the by. Beat me to it. I will keep checking on that so that she doesn't sneak back later.
This cloak and dagger stuff sucks. How do some of you other people keep this up and stay sane? I'm too damn honest for it.
