Exes can be monsters

Exes. We all have them. Some are better than others, but some are just monsters. There's a reason they're our exes, and we should never forget it.

This week, two of my best friends each had an ex crisis. One friend made the mistake of meeting her ex boyfriend at a bar. His brother was with him. It was intended to be a simple, innocent visit. By end of the evening, the two guys had way too much to drink to drive home. She's a nice person. She was concerned and said they could crash at her place.

They did. She regretted it.

He made up all kinds of stuff about how she "made out" with him and with his brother. It wouldn't happen. It didn't happen. It'll never happen. That's all I've got to say about that.

My other friend got a call from her son's school that he was sick and needed to be picked up. They tried contacting her ex husband but couldn't. She finally reached him and he flew off on her about how he was going to take her to court because she's negligent with their kids.

What? If her kids hadn't been with her ex, in his part of the week, I might listen to his accusation.  But I know better. Her son threw up all night and morning before his dad dropped him off at school.
She takes them to the doctor, dentist, orthodontist and gives them the structure and the love they need.

She's a great mom. He lied. That's all I have to say about that.

I've been lucky for about the last five months. My ex husband hasn't contacted me. But before that, he was a monster. I started ignoring his calls; his emails. I hope he got the message that I'm done. No more monsters.

Honestly, most exes just make it a big pissing contest. They still can't accept that we left them. That we're happier without them. They act like monsters because we don't let them control us. They're not monsters to us if we don't let them.

Love to the single girls,
