Discuss, or feel free to not discuss if it's too personal, your experience with your exes here!
I know I've BEEN a terrible ex myself, but I don't want to monopolise the thread by posting a huge essay in the first post.
I tend to keep my significant exes on different continents.
Also, I think I get along with them all kind of well.
At the risk of making myself sound like a bad person, I'll submit an example of me being the bad ex:
I only dated this one guy in junior high because he was nice and I kind of felt sorry for him (a bad reason to ever date someone, I know). I wasn't really attracted to him, though, and when I finally got up the nerve to tell him that I wanted a "break," he gave me, in my opinion, a very cheesy testament of how he would "always love me." (He's since moved on and gotten married, I believe.) All I had to say in response was a very awkward "teehee, that's sweet."
He actually took it rather well, though.
I like to be an arse when I'm going out with someone and enjoy the company fo people who also enjoy that kind of thing, so there is the context. There was a girl I was going out with a couple of years ago (about age 17/18) whose day I made really awkward (she saw the funny side, don't worry) she was returnign clothes ot Primark but felt shy doing it so just as we were walking up to the counter, I took the pants out of her hand with the receipt and took them myself "these just don't seem to fit!" I said. As a (UK)Size 14/16 or Male 34", there was no way in hell her size 8 pants were anything like what I could fit into.
Later on, we were in a Cafe, just a little one we hadn't been to before and I had this cheap ring I had picked up. It was the kind of thing you got for a pound, real cheap looking, but as I ordered a pot of tea for us I told the clerk I was plannig to present this ring to her and I wanted their help. "When I raise my hand like this," I said, "bring the ring over stood up in a carrot cake." The clerk not only agreed to help, but realising where I was going with this made our whole stay complimentary <3 A whole tenner on tea and cakes saved! The lady brought over our pot of tea about five minutes later, giddy with excitement, watching me from the counter (which was behind me) with a broad grin and whispering fervently to the other customers at the desk and to the other staff, all of which "Madeline" (for the sake of her privacy) noticed.
"What are you doing now?" She said, a grin on her face appeared as she said that, knowing I was about to pull another one. I raised my ahnd for the signal and the woman behind the counter jumped for joy, taking Madeline's smile for the wrong thing.
I proposed to her in the cafe (I didn't mean it but it was the kind of joke we played, so no a#hrm done). The woman behind the counter had told everyone in the store (about 8-10 people) and we got a standing ovation.
About a month later, she got me back really well. I received a call in the middle of the night,, Madeline's crying profusely, can barely speak and tells me she's pregnant. She lets me beleive it for a whole week before letting me know that is was retaliation for the stunt in the cafe.
The tone of this isn't really where I was going with this thread, but I remembered it before and thought I'd share.
Dude, no names!
So are you looking for stories where things are made awkward because someone was being a dick, or more funny-awkward stories?
I meant like ace had a pyromaniacal girlfriend and I'ce had some rather violent encounters and domineering partners too. Wolfy was weird. he was An agoraphobic furry. Fun though ^^
This one time I was playing wing commander 2 and trying to open wc2.exe but it wouldn't run because I forgot to do all the memory allocation stuff in autoexec.bat. That was pretty embarrassing, because I had a friend round.
lol, indeed
I broke up with a girl over AIM one time. She then proceeded to talk shit(understandable) on me for two years and continuously added me on every social network I joined.
Okay, well, I had this one boyfriend who I was dating when I broke my leg and had to have surgery. We lived together with two other roommates in a two-story townhouse, so going up and down the stairs was difficult. I was also having a hard time sleeping from the pain, even with the pain medicine I was taking.
So one night we're laying in bed and I can't sleep, so I ask him if he would mind going to the kitchen to get me a glass of milk because I thought it might help me get to sleep. He said he didn't want to, so I responded that I would do it myself but I was afraid of falling down the stairs in the dark. So he gets up in a huff, goes downstairs, gets a glass of milk, comes back up and hands it to me roughly, spilling some of it on the bed. He then leaves the house in the middle of the night because he's really upset. He came back later and acted like nothing had happened.
I know I was being a bit demanding, but man, that was weird and uncomfortable :/
@Wesley Gaddis - that's weird :/
Weeee! My exes include, but are not limited to: a pyromaniac; a graffiti artist with a heroin habit; a punk violinist who lived on a barge; a girl who identified as a vampire; a hairdresser who, with frightening frequency, would explain (unprovoked and in far too much detail, with no trace of humour or irony) how she fantasised about harming her clients (one of whom was me...); two stalkers (not at the same time); and a model (hurrah!) who took up scientology (hurroo...).
So, I have lots of amusing, worrying and/or depressing stories about many awkward, embarrassing and plain batshit insane moments with many women. We could be here a while. But my ''favourite'' may be the girl that would dine-and-dash pretty much every time we went out. That was at least just funny (and cheap!).
Luckily I can laugh at pretty much anything and everything. But yeah, tip: if you meet most of your partners at industrial rave and goth rock gigs, expect some of them to not be entirely... right.
@Meagan that's what I thought! She hasn't followed me on tumblr yet, so there's that.
Quick question, has an ex, or significant other, complained about your gaming?
My husband tells me I'm an iPhone addict. That's probably due to the fact that I play iPhone games all the time.
I've accidently done the "be a dick and they'll love you" thing to a girl once because she was always IMing me while I was playing Halo, which made me feel real bad later on.
I had a girlfriend who was REALLY into Gender play (something with is obviously a thing I'm into, being all transgender and all) but a lot of my stories are NSFW, I'll post them if people are interested or I can go into the stories and clean them up a bit.
@Adushan I can't say, of all things, I've ever dated someone who complained about me playing games. Generally I won't look twice at someone who isn't 'a gamer' themselves anyway.
Oh! I just remembered a really funny one.
So I was dating this guy when I was a high school senior. It was Halloween and he and I were at his house getting dressed up and ready to go meet some friends at a party. I don't remember what he was going as, but I had on a puppy dog costume.
So as we're getting ready to leave, his dad pulls us aside into the kitchen (which is still in full earshot of everyone else in the house, mind you) and proceeds to give us both the "I know you're at that age, but you shouldn't be having sex" talk. While we're both dressed in ridiculous costumes.
It was super awkward, for sure.
I remember things "heating up" a bit when I was still in high-school with this one girl. She was a fan of tying her boyfriends to things so I thought I'd have some fun with it too. So we're alone in my room and I handcuff her to one of the posters on my bad to have her immediately start wailing and crying. Turns out she had a phobia about being constrained and to boot, my mum raced up the stairs to see me on top of my lady with her in a fit (uncuffed as I quickly had undone them when I realised).
She went home very quickly after that.
