WORKING WITH YOUR EX PART I

WORKING WITH YOUR EX
Since we are all caught up on my current Match dating experiences (don’t worry, there will be more), I figured I would use this time to talk about my current situation with my ex. I had referenced him in a previous post or two, so let’s go ahead and discuss one of the biggest mistakes I ever made in the dating realm.

This sounds like a terrible idea. I'm in!

Let’s call this guy D-bag. He takes the art of douche-bagging to the next level, because not only is he a prick, but he goes about it in a cowardly way. 

I'm not insulting you, I'm describing you.

Let's start with the ending (the current situation) and then work our way back to the beginning. Enjoy.

CURRENT SITUATION
The man works in the same department that I do, but on the other end of the floor. In theory, I don’t have to see his face every day. Unfortunately, I do see him just about every goddamn day, which is more often than I ever saw him while we were dating, oddly enough.

It’s been close to two months since we broke up, yet at least once a week he will email, IM, text or talk to me in person. I don’t understand why though because we both made it very clear that it would not be a good idea to talk to each other, at least for a while. 

But he just won’t go away. It's not even work related conversation either. If it were, I’d be fine because I can be civil about it and mature enough to look past the fact that he sucks and just get the work done. But he’s coming back and trying to have regular conversations, as though we are good friends or something. What the hell is that about?

You again?! WHYYYYY DON'T YOU JUST FUCK OFF ALREADY?

But 90% of the time that he attempts to have a conversation with me, it turns into him giving his latest apology or analysis on why our relationship failed. Later on, you’ll see why this pisses me off so much, but this one incident in particular requires no explanation.

Two weeks ago, the D-bag IMs me at work asking if I did anything to his car. Seeing as I’m not in high school, or a dumbass, I answer, “No, I did not do anything to your car.” And I really hadn’t. Then he proceeds to tell me again that he is sorry for what happened to us.

And then he tells me that he knew it wouldn’t work prior to my moving in with him (what an asshole), and that he just allowed me to keep trying to make it work, even though he had stopped trying (you twat) and that he knew this was hurting me, but he let it get the point that it did anyway (because he was too much of a pansy to end it when it should have been ended) so he ultimately wasted my time.

Look, I know all of this already. No need to tell me again, especially at work, over an IM, which is his preferred communication channel because he can hide behind his keyboard like an e-thug. 

It's not me, it's you.

Blocking only blocks IMs though. It does not prevent face to face interaction or emails. 

The last in-person visit was him dropping off a piece of junk mail that was delivered to his house. Not necessary bruh.
