The Ex Factor

So I apologize for not updating more often (or at all) But I'm going to try to be better. So here's them main topic of the day.... can you really be friends with an ex? A part of me thought I could, and so I carried on like I could for quite some time. But I think deep down I was just settling for even having a little piece of what we once had. And in the end I think that made me realize that I've never really been one to settle. In fact, it's something that I rarely do. So why would I choose to do this with this particular relationship? So coming to this realization = GOOD! What I did about it.... not so much! So in a moment of "clarity" and a little bit of crying, I decided it was best to sever all ties. What does this mean you ask? Well it means that I deleted his numbers from my cell phone, and I deleted him from my facebook. Now I know what you're going to say, this is extremely petty. But it seemed logical at the time. And here were my thoughts...first of all do I really want to see what my ex is up to? Answer, probably not. Do I really want him seeing what I'm doing day to day? umm, I think not. This was my effort to move forward...

So that was yesterday, today I get a call from him and he is quite upset. He doesn't want to be my friend at all and he is rather mad. I don't blame him. But it's odd that you can get in an argument with someone that you're no longer in a relationship with. All in all, I stand by my choice, I do think it's time we move on, and I'm ready to do that. So while it does upset me that he's upset with me, I know in the long run, it's better for both of us. Maybe one day we can be friends, but not today...
