Check your courage, your humanity, your common decency, your *****, in the cloakroom of pathetic
2. Spend not a nanosecond thinking about how it would feel if it were done to you, reminding yourself how sad, justified, and relieved you feel
3. Debate tween text and email, choose text cause it is shorter, less time consuming, and packs more punch
4. Be proud of your courageous forthrightness in dealing with human problems so directly
5. Immediately (or prior) text all your friends what you have done
6. Make plans for a party so you can begin trolling the field. Of course not! (invite the ex, that would be cruel)
7. Proceed to smear your ex in person, in secret, to justify how good and kind and used you are and were. Laser focus on new target person who really turns you on
8. Show around all the ex's break up poems for laughs.
9. Shampoo and rinse your soul with lye, and repeat, 2 - 3 times a week. If you notice any self improvement, call your doctor immediately!
Happened to a friend (email but sans the cruelty). Then I remembered my ex did the same to me - told "everybody" she was divorcing me, and then had our clergyman call me the Friday before we were supposed to go away with my son and his then new wife, to give me the news. No, I will never forgive her. And yes, she still went on vaca with us but didn't tell the kids till they were leaving.
