She called to tell you about her new boyfriend because she's not over you.

[–]DaUmega 126 points127 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The fact that you posted about it means you are probably not over her..

It's the internet/Reddit. Users feel their day to day activities are news worthy no mater how trivial. Check /new your head will explode with trying to understand how people even get up in the morning.

Why else would anyone who just met 'someone new' think to call their ex and tell him about it? That lady's mind grapes be crystal clear.

[–]pretty_annoying_tbh 2 points3 points ago

I get the feeling you're just saying that because you're not over OP.

[–]Switche 1 point2 points ago

We have no idea how this conversation went, we know neither of these people, and have very little information to go on.

It's more than a little presumptuous to pass judgment here.

It's true. I hadn't heard from her in a while and figured she was trying to make good after cheating on me. I learned my lesson though.

This. A thousand times this.

[–]star_witness 33 points34 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The correct answer to this call is always "I'm happy for you, and I'm glad you've moved on with your life."

She wants you to be mad, and not showing her that you're mad will make her mad.

But either way: Fuck. Her. How petty.

[–]star_witness 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I agree with the sentiment, but I get the feeling that if he told her to "fuck off and die" it would lead to more drama that OP doesn't really need.

[–]FUCK_YOUR_EX 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I would say that yes that is the correct thing to say but when it comes down to it how much do you really give a shit? My answer is making sure that person gets the hint that I don't give a shit about them but also being happy and living my life is best without them.. I do agree 110% with the last bit though ;)

[–]redbeardo 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

NO. Don't fuck her! That will just lead to more emotional connections and it will be harder to break up with her.

[–]FUCK_YOUR_EX 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

ಠ_ಠ for the love of all things, why do my fellow /r/'s talk to your ex's? I don't care how nice they were, or how well or not they mean it when they're telling you they found someone new. WHEN YOU PULL THE FUCKING PLUG. CUT YOUR LOSSES, MOVE ON. Look OP I'm already on your side, because this is what I do. Your ex now just wants to run this little fucking race to see if she can get some emotions out of you. I've seen it countless times. Oh FUCK_YOUR_EX you're an asshole you don't care. No I don't, we're not together anymore so any obligations with knowing your personal life now also went out the window.

TL;dr: Reddit, stop talking to your ex's you become the proverbial Gotye song. Cut them out, this means Facebook, places they hang out at like a favorite bar or coffee place, gym etc. They call, you let that go to voicemail, stop texting them, and don't reply when they hit you up for small talk. Do this and I assure you a saved shoe... so to speak.

Your username conflicts with your advice, good sir. but after having followed this advice for years, i can confirm that it is the only way.

[–]FUCK_YOUR_EX 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's your opinion and yes I've thought about that.. However, I think most people use it more figuratively, like fuck the police, fuck your couch, fuck that noise, and fuck that shit. Where I derived this name came from many posts that involved ex's and people having to deal with there shitiness. So I've stepped up to talk shit and hate Reddits ex's because we are a community and people need to belong and feel good in it by reassuring the posters there ex's are garbage.

[–]ONXwat 0 points1 point ago

i understood what you meant by your username, but i chose to understand it as "bone your ex"

i am also too baked to come up with a long winded response.

Mine called me from England, telling me she was getting married, 140 days after we broke up, to some guy she met while she was working for a law firm in Cambodia. I lived in New Zealand.

I agree wholeheartedly! No offense taken whatsoever.

[–]Jizzworthy 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The only appropriate answer to her on the phone?

"So"

Then you hang up, and never return a phone call, email, facebook message, IM, IRC, snail mail, or pigeon carrier message from her again.

Simple.

[–]northbayray 1 point2 points ago

You need to keep her number in your phone just in case she calls you ever again, so you know that you have to hit ignore. Otherwise, you'll see a random number, and if you're drunk enough you might pick it up. And it might be her. And there are 7 billion people in the world, so she can fuck right off a cliff!

Mine constructed an elaborate ruse involving a lot of FB updates and several of our mutual friends. Also some sketchy IM's. Do I win?

[–]nixeon_dead 3 points4 points ago

what are you angry about, she was nice enough to call you up like an adult and tell you first hand instead of letting you find out through the grape vine.

Seriously, not everything has to be some sort of mindgame like reddit makes out.

[–]Shefferstroke 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Quite. Times like this it becomes abundantly clear that the majority of Redditors are the most bitter and jaded young men you'll ever come across.

Or just young, maybe, I'm not sure. To me this seems like the mature thing to do (of course it all depends on the context, but since we don't know it it's sort of useless to pass judgement on the poor woman).

[–]FUCK_YOUR_EX 2 points3 points ago

You just let her do that? Do yourself a favor and set Admiral Akbar as her ringtone then next time she calls to basically degrade you in your love making abilities, which aren't true because she's fucking pathetic and needs to do that, you'll know... it's a fucking trap.

[–]TheDoktorIsIn 0 points1 point ago

I got a phone call from my ex that went similar to this.

Her: "Hey."

Me: "...hi?"

"I just wanted to let you know that I'm over you."

"Uh... okay? Anything... else?"

"No, just that."

"Okay then... bye."

I found out about the new guy by using tricky math to discover that 4 people were staying in a 3 bedroom house. When I asked where does X sleep?

Crushed.

She said "well it has been 4 months"....... but i didn't ask when that sleep arrangement had started. But to have the new guy living with her already?

So yeah, heart crushed.

It had been a 5 year relationship.

I am now sad. Damn you OP.

You have to be at a really high level of narcissistic behaviors to call someone just to tell them they have gotten another boyfriend. And I am talking about the dance instructor on Dance Mom's level on narcissism. And that lady tells 10 year old girls they are never going to be anything. That measures to 1.7 µh. µh=microhitler.

[–]crossower 2 points3 points ago
