Why? Why Do You Have to Be an Asshat?

Brought to you exclusively by Dual Mom on
Please be forewarned - I've had several (okay 5) crantinis and I'm mad as hell.

Break-ups aren't fun. I mean you never hear anyone say, "You know, just for shits and giggles I think I'll break up with my partner tomorrow". Unless of course you're a psychotic, narcissistic asshole and then all bets are off.

Though I have several narcissistic tendencies that scare the shit out of me when I dwell on them for too long, I'm not psychotic. I have the papers to prove it. My recent break up was the result of months of sleepless nights, agonizing conversations with myself and friends and alot of deep deep soul searching. It broke my heart to end the relationship. I hurt him. I don't like hurting people unless they deserve it.

Ex-boyfriend has been emailing me for the last week, hounding me to tell the kids about our breakup. He argued that they had a right to know. I argued that I was their mother, and as their mother I had final call as to when to tell my kids. The kids have not seen him in over 6 months. They have long ago stopped asking when they would see him again. Ex sent me an email today telling me that if I did not tell them, he would. He talks to Nora quite frequently on Facebook about farmville (don't ask...that's a whole other issue) and ipods.

This afternoon I'm in the kitchen and I hear Nora shout, "Mom...what the hell is going on?". Nora shouting is one thing, Nora saying hell means that something of an apacolyptic nature has happened. She comes out to the kitchen with the laptop and shows me Ex's facebook page. He has changed his status to "Single" and put "blank is now new and improved, 100% Dual Mom free".

Blink blink.

So I'm essentially forced to explain to Nora what has happened. You can only imagine how your's truly likes being forced to fucking do anything. Son of a bitch.

Wait it gets better.

My sister in law called me this evening - "Have you seen Ex's facebook?" I said that I had, that he's angry, hurt and lashing out. There was silence on the other end of phone. SIL said, "Wow, I can't believe you're being so diplomatic about this". Wait what? Long story short I check fb only to find that he's essentially had a full on conversation with my daughter about our relationship on FUCKING FACEBOOK for all the world to see.

So I fired off this in an email:
Do not speak with Nora about our relationship ever again please. I have no problem with the two of you discussing farmville or ipods but I will not have my personal life displayed for all the world to see on fucking facebook. I haven't been 14 in a long time and have no desire for this type of display. I thought you were alot more mature than this.

And I get this back:

So the point of your note is that you're pissed off that I did exactly what I said I was going to do. I was no secret that I was going to let my friends know on Friday. (So the only way he could let his friends know about our break up is via FB?) It was no secret that if your kids asked I would tell them the truth. (They would never ask about our relationship unless something provoked them to ask) I'm really not sure what the problem is here.(The problem, you limp dick fucking asshole cocksucker is that your using my children to hurt me) You had advanced warning and now you're embarrassed. To bad. What bugs you is not in any way or form my problem. Be angry at yourself.


So here's the thing. I'm not going to post anything disparaging about you online and I have not done so. (Ummm how is it not disparaging to have a conversation with my 12 year old daughter about our relationship online you stupid fucking bald bastard) That's as far as it goes. I do this for your kids. (You do nothing for my kids...you do this because you know the only way to hurt me is through my kids because I stopped caring about you a long fucking time ago) Not for you. At no time will I lie to your kids if they ask me questions about this.Feel free to send more email demands to see what weight they have with me.

Here's the thing, I get anger. I get that he's angry, I do. But this, this is just beyond anything I ever thought he'd be capable of. I did not want this breakup to end in our slinging names and insults. I'm obviously not going to respond, it's exactly what he wants. However, if he continues to use my daughter to get to me, he's going to wind up with his penis shoved down his throat, and not in a feel good way either. I will fucking hurt him like he's never been hurt before.

Bastard, you would think he'd know after 8 years not to fuck with me. Who's going to bail me out when I'm arrested for assault?

This must kinda confirm to you that breaking up was the right thing to do!

sounds like the break up was the right thing, that is a crappy thing for him to do...and to use your child...doesnt sound like concern or love on his part to me.

sorry this happened to you friend.

Are you effin serious? That is sick. He is making your daughter his confidante and that is out of line for a grown man. It makes her feel important that he confides in her and treats her like an adult.
Be very careful here.

Be glad you didn't waste any more time on the douche bag. Hurt, angry, or whatever. That was inappropriate of him.

Good luck, sounds like you're gonna need it. It has probably just begun. I've dated a few douche bags myself. I oughta know :(

What a fucktard. In what world is it possibly appropriate to bring someone's 12 year old daughter (or any age kid) into things like this?!

Sounds like it's probably a good thing that you're not together anymore. Geez!

Good luck with him. Should be interesting!

I would have your kids block him. There's no need for a grown (ok, so he doesn't sound so adult like lol) man to bring children into a situation like this, especially since they're NOT HIS! I'd be just as pissed as you are girl!

I agree with Dee. Block him from Nora's fb account. He's too full of anger and stupidity to think rationally. You did a wise thing breaking up with him.

I had an ex who, after a break up, posted pics of me on the internet, you know the kind you let your boyfriend take when you are 19. On the upside, I looked darn good. Downside, what was I thinking with that hat?

Maybe you could post a new status of your own, like "It's official! 100% tiny penis-free."

because obviously anyone who would do this kind of stuff has no penis to speak of whatsoever.

You don't need to assault this ratbastard. Call the authorities the next time he talks to your daughter and have him arrested. YOU are the MOM. SHE is 12. He doesn't need to continue any relationship with her. And if you ask him not to do something with your daughter, and he continues, he can go to jail :)

That sounds a little like harassment.

and block... :) Your daughter doesn't need to be his "FB or FV friend" she needs to be a kid. Delete. Also your family doesn't need to be his friends either. I'm sure they have their own friends.

Wait, I'm a little confused. You said your kids hadn't seen him in 6 months. And he felt they needed an explanation?! And from HIM??

My break up (the final one in 3 yrs of us being on-and-off) was 6 weeks ago and my 4 y/o just asked yesterday when he was going to come over again. I told her he wasn't going to come over anymore. To which she replied, "I hate it when you break up". Yeah, she's FOUR!

Personally I think he made himself look like an ass by having that conversation on FB with your 12 y/o daughter.

You made a great decision breaking up with him. The real Him came out!! As for him talking to your daughter on fb........he is looking like a Fool for all the world to see!!!

Um...seriously? Someone at our age changes their status on Facebook to publicize a breakup? Really? REALLY?!? That's what the KIDS in High School do.

*rolls eyes*

What a schmuck!

Asshat indeed!

The relationship and its issues are between you and him. Using your daughter as his confidante is not right and not adult of him.

Hell, I'd even go out and roll him for ya.

Just let me know where to wire the bail money, honey.

What a complete jackass. Good riddance.

I'm pretty broke right now but I'll still donate to your bail fund. What a douchecanoe. He sounds like he's 19.

Looks like breaking up with him was a very good idea after all. He's clearly not worthy. Move on girlfriend. That hurts them even more.

If I lived there with you, I would not be able to bail you out, cause I would be right next to you in the cell.
Sooo glad that you are done with him and able to get on with making you happy!!!

Disgusting behavior. You should have your kids "unfriend" him. I really don't think he's a "value add" to their lives.

Alyce said...

you're the mom, unfriend him and have the kids unfriend him. He has no reason to maintain contact anymore.
