smescrater | The abusive ex

They won’t leave me alone.

They crave my attention, wheedle and whine and demand I pay attention despite the fact we’ve broken up. Looking at things now I see how abusive it had gotten, and how they wanted to envelop me and not let me have a moments peace.

I submit this as evidence of just how bad things are:

Facebook wants me back, it can change, things will be different this time.

Not even a week since we started a trial separation and already facebook is sending me messages of how much it misses me and look at what’s happening.

I’ve not missed it in all honesty, I’ve found myself composing witty one line updates and then just not posting them. Thinking about it, all I wanted in posting them was validation and acknowledgement. As it happens, I’ve gotten more of those by interacting outside of the internet.

In one week I’ve had a surprise coffee date with a friend, caught up with a dear friend who I’d not seen in a year, started putting the plans in place for an event, and just had tea and biscuits with a new chum who I hadn’t realised live in the same neighbourhood as me.

In all honesty, I wasn’t even going to bother commenting on the break, there’s more to my life than how I use the internet. However I am appalled by facebook’s tactic of e-mailing to try and entice me back.

I’ll leave you with this from zenpencils, I think it covers pretty much everything I want to say quite nicely.
