I hate Drama

and drama queens. When my exhusband and I split, I didn't harass him, didn't bother him, and although I tried to avoid him, he insisted on stalking me to the point where I decided I needed to get totally away from him and moved to another state. I dated a man some months afterwards and when it didn't work out, I never bothered him again. I didn't text him, didn't call, I just walked away. It's called Pride. So I don't understand these women (or even men) who have to continue to harass and stalk and bother their exes, some even years after the fact...they didn't appreciate them when they had them, and when their ex moves on and finds someone else, I don't think they have a right to complain. Then they decide they have to say nasty things to and about their exes new girlfriend. On Facebook of all places. Don't get me wrong, I like FB, it has it's usefullness at times, but I don't think it's an appropriate place to show one's immaturity level and to cause drama. So today I posted a pic of my bf, and his ex commented, a nasty comment. They have been separated for YEARS. I deleted the comment and didn't respond. I figure it's best just to ignore her. This isn't the first time she has done this, and she is in her 50's, time to grow up wouldn't you say? Her whole thing is to try to make me look bad, she is trying to make it look like I caused the breakup of their marriage. I didn't even KNOW him then. We've known each other less than a year. When in reality it was her. Unfaithfulness, sneaking around with another man, telling him she wanted to experiment and explore with other men. No pride in herself apparently. He was devastated, but now he has moved on and she can't stand it. What did she think? That he was just waiting for her to come to her senses? He doesn't even want her. So I think the best thing is to just hold on to my dignity and not respond, even though I really wanted to blast her, I bit my tongue, sat on my hands and refused to stoop to her level.

I admire you for being calm about it. If I were in that situation, my initial reaction would be to respond to her bitterness. But then again, it would be like feeding her ego. So, much better to just move on. Try blocking her from your Facebook so she won't ever post any comments nor see your profile anymore.

LOL I assure you I wasn't calm, it took a lot for me not to respond the way I really wanted to. As soon as I saw her comment I felt my blood pressure sky rocket, she was just trying to make me look bad. I thought about blocking her, but I want to keep an eye on her.

Are you friends with her on Facebook or your profile is set in Public that's why she is able to see your posts? Maybe you just need to make some adjustments on your settings so that she could no longer comment on your future posts.

I did the same thing with all of my ex's. There is a reason they are an EX! So you don't have to deal with each other anymore or be around each other anymore. I really don't understand people that act this way. Why can't they just get over it like everyone else does? My ex hurt me really bad so I wanted nothing to do with him at all after we ended things, why would I want anything to do with him? He hurt me! I really find it to be VERY immature of your boyfriend's ex to be posting things like that on FB especially with her age, wow! Some people never grow up huh? I know someone here when I found out their age I was shocked because they acted like a teen instead of a woman in her late 40's!! Some people really show their true colors on FB and other social sites... It is amazing to me. I think you did the right thing by ignoring her, she is not worth your time or energy.

Yes, it's best to just walk away, no contact and get on with life. I've been hurt real bad too, and if someone really loved you they wouldn't hurt you. I deserve better than that, a real love. It is immature of a 50 something woman, 7th graders act like that, not mature grown women.

Oh my God, she's in her 50's and yet she is acting like a teenager who's madly in love trying to let everyone see that she should have had their sympathy. well that is what most these drama queens do. They would act as if they have been stepped on, cheated on, and that they were on the losing side. Blah! I don't think so. I have similar experience with this girl who kept on bothering me and my ex then. she kept on telling me about their relationship and what they did. OMG! as i am interested. She said that she saw all our photos and she knew this ex of mine was this and that. so much for all the warnings and yeah i could have really used them to my advantage. the point is why can't they move on? Why do they have to always bother you and destroy a relationship, to a point she was begging me to just give my bf's number so she could contact him and that they can just have a chat or something. Anyway, since it was in facebook, you can always just choose to block her account from receiving updates made by you or your bf. I am sure you can make her feel more crazy not seeing anything from you. haha that'll drive her mad even more, but what the heck... just block her and she'll no longer be part of your life. just pray for her that she would already be able to move on. she probably does need that right now, as she seemed really guilty still of the past and hopeful she could correct that mistake she made.

A wise man said 'being strong does not always mean you have to fight the battle. True strength is being mature enough to walk away from the nonsense with your head held high'. I find it the smartest thing to do not to fight back jealous and possessive exes. After all, when you find a person you love the world around does not matter when in the relationship but just the two of you. I do not understand why, particularly women we want to fight lost love. Am proud, i have been heart broken but never turned around to fight the ex. Keep it calm like you have always done and give your love the best. Happy valentine.

Exactly, harassing and stalking and fighting an ex won't bring them back, on the contrary it will push them away.

Your way of dealing with things seems to be resonable at first and I agree that it's best to ignore that nasty comment but I am a bit worried about that "pride" of yours when it comes to men. It looks like you're afraid to admit that someone actually means something to you. Remember that it's bad to be overly persistent but it's nothing bad to care for someone and make a little effort not to loose him.

When I said Pride, I meant in not losing my dignity in responding to her comments. I love him and he knows it, no problem admitting that, and he loves me. We are planning a future together. He also agreed with me in not responding to her, she is just looking for a fight and I will not give it to her.
