Thanks For Being a Jackass — Compliment #4

The Compliment Challenge for today has to do with a lame-o ex-boyfriend.

When my ex told me I was going to hell and he couldn’t see me any more I was sorta devastated and definitely confused. Although things had never been “good” between us, he certainly was never this mean.

He told me the morning after I’d stayed at his house for the night. I sorta couldn’t believe his timing. If he wanted to break up with me, if he wanted to make me feel bad, why did he choose to spend all that time with me before he gave me the boot?

It was a game. I know that. He wanted things to be over (for real, for good), and he didn’t know how to do it. He thought that if he proved there was some sort of fundamental flaw with me, then the break up wouldn’t be his fault; it would be mine.

He decided I didn’t love God as much as him and so he decided to bring the Big Guy into it.

I respect that. Or at least now I do. At the time I thought it was cheap, unfair, and a little two faced.

But he did me a favor. We were never good for each other. In fact, it was a bit of a disaster from the beginning and I’m just glad one of us had the courage to do something about.

So my compliment for today (and I had to dig deep for this one) is to say that I’m much happier now and I hope he is too, and if it weren’t for him making the good choice to break up with me who knows where I’d be.

No, Mr. Ex-Boyfriend, you don’t get a compliment for being a good breaker-upper, but you definitely succeeded at getting me out of your life forever.

And for the record, I’m pretty sure I’m not going to hell. But thanks for the warning.
