shocker

And this morning, J's girlfriend broke up with him.

J: Am I so critical that sometimes its impossible to be around me?
H: Sometimes you're picky about things that don't/shouldn't matter. I'll admit it used to make me self conscious. Like I had to be uber perfect. Why, what's up?
J: She broke up with me. She said that when I was ready to accept her and love her without having something to pick on, then I can call her. But not until then.
H: Oh my. That took some balls.
J: Yeah, she's good. And she's totally right.

Yes, yes she is. While I feel for him, I sat here wishing I'd been that ballsy. Those are the things I wanted to say and never did. Mostly because I knew he never would love me for me.

And it makes me wonder if he'll actually change.

Why bother wondering?

2 things--
1) rock on, J's now ex-girlfriend.
2) you could say it NOW.

I hate when other people dump my exes better than I ever did.

I wish I'd done what J's ex done to my bastard ex. Hopefully, the next woman he dates will do that to him--the bastard tried to change me all the time and no doubt he'll do that to the next girl too.

Men--they never learn.

Women--we should learn that they never can be change unless the change is self-instigated

I could not help it, it just seemed like the perfect line for the situation. Good luck!

I'm glad you did. Changed, that is.
