X is for Exes


OK, that starts with E. I know, shut up already! But it sounds like X... right? Right??

Look, X is a hard letter. If you’re going to make an issue out of it, I could have written what would probably have been a very boring, but edifying, post on xylophones. Did you want to continue arguing about the etymology of Exes? No? Good, cause I’m sure I still have that xylophone post around here somewhere....

Anyway, I thought it would be more humourous, or at least more entertaining if not more edifying, to devote this post to the stupid things exes say. 
  • We can have ‘no strings attached’ sex – no, no you can’t. At least one of you is still emotionally connected to the other, and this is simply impossible. If that emotion is now more hate than love you definitely don’t want that person anywhere near your sensitive parts;
  • I spent two days in a hotel room with her but we didn’t have sex – honest. Pull the other one, mate, it’s got bells on. Anyone will even a modicum of intelligence will not believe you.
  • Why don’t you trust me? I can’t imagine. Do you think it might have something to do with all the other men/women/both that you had sex with during our relationship and/or marriage and forgot to tell me about?
  • Look, it’s magic! A rabbit with no rabbit hutch! Don’t ask me. This one is dead set true. The guy bought his kids a rabbit but no rabbit hunch. He had the vague notion the rabbit could just wander around the house. When announcing this to the ex, she had to buy the hutch in the interest of the kids. A true forehead slap moment.
  • You are no longer the most evil woman in the world. Technically this was said by a guy to his ex after he’d gotten a new ex. Presumably this was because his most recent ex now had this status. Isn’t this the thing you always wanted your ex to say to you? Personally I think I’d rather stick with ‘most evil woman in the world’ status. At least it has a ring to it. 
  • You know that friend you bought to the party last month. What was her phone number again? Total class act. What can I say? Anyone with half a brain should bne able to spot the problems with this one.
  • Text message from ex's best friend "Your ex gave me your phone number". Wow. Well, at least I know what he thinks of me. I broke up with him, and I guess that was a good move! A backhanded way of insulting someone. If you really want to insult someone, I suggest you just say it to their face.
So what stupid things have your exes said to you?

What a great idea for a post on x. Yes it's a tough one to do. I think I probably provide more content for this post than I receive. Not a good sign I know! ;) xxx

HeeHee, "You are no longer the most evil woman in the world." Classic.

Last time I was an Ex or made anyone was an Ex was Berlin, 1974 and her father discovered I was a British soldier and he was in the SS during the war

Loved this post

I can't claim credit for it, a friend who was suffering through an unusual number of stupid statements from her ex suggested it to me!

Ciara Ballintyne said...

It's certainly...original.

Ciara Ballintyne said...

I had the experiences of many people to draw upon :-)

Ciara Ballintyne said...

Ah, I wish I could say the same! I can't imagine why he was unhappy you were seeing his daughter....

Not_Quite_Evil_Enough said...

Yep, he is original for sure. Telling me about how his most recent ex had cheated on him for 2 years and broken his heart, taken 2 years of love and devotion from him, poisoning his view of love and comparing it to me - The person who stood by his side, loved him for his faults, stayed faithful for 4 months while he ran off to enjoy his life, after I had asked him not to go, while my life was slowly falling apart and while I bent over backwards for him (not literally... oh, wait... maybe THAT is what I did wrong...) and Mr Army Boots says this to me. Mr Army Boots, you sure know how to make a woman feel (a blinding desire to pull her hair out) special....

Our X post is about Xylophones ... well, not exactly.

Ciara Ballintyne said...

LOL I did see that!

Ciara Ballintyne said...

Well, the desire to pull your hair out is kind of special. Kind of.
