so tempted

McKneff

You might think its funny, she will block you, she will tell your ex her own story, your ex will block you for being 'nasty'


Leave it well alone.

How tongue in cheek is this reference to yourself? Sad fact is that this is exactly how you would come across to two people that you currently consider to be friends, if you carried out what boils down to passive aggressive behaviour. If this is what you are seriously considering doing whilst wine just beckons, then I would suggest that you stay away from alcohol for the evening. Who knows what you may be tempted to do once you have actually had a few!

He's an Ex from years ago that is together with a friend from a different 'Arena' . . . I trained him in cards, gift giving, general lovelyness . . I'm proud of what he learned and his education in loving women . . MY original post was 'I taught him well'

It comes across as either big-headed or or a bit pathetic. It might just about be funny if you are close enough to both of them as a couple that you can make jokes about your past together in person, but it doesn't sound like that's the case.

There is no way you can put it that sounds anything other than awful.

Enjoy your wine tonight.

Ye gods wuman, let it go.

This goes a long way to explain why he became an ex. He wasn't a pet that needed training up, he was or should have been your equal. Why on earth are you still proud of all the knowledge you think you instilled in him? This makes no sense to me whatsoever.

The guy features far too highly in your psyche. Do yourself a massive favour and move on. Be happy for him that he is with someone he loves, without the need to gloat, point score or stir up trouble. You are and will just come across as a sad attention seeker!

So . . my ex, still friends from about 10 years ago, is seeing someone I'm friends with on FBook . . we worked together about the same time 10 years ago(Girl and me). but don't think they knew each other IYSWIM

She has posted a msg about how thoughtfull he is with flowers etc for Valentines . . . I am so tempted to msg her and say, 'I taught him well' but think that's the bitter single b*tch in me after seeing all those loved up couples on adverts all day !!

RANT OVER . .wine beckons

Delete the woman of FB.. DO NOT! I REPEAT DO NOT contact her or him, and do NOT tell anyone about this!

Do you still have feelings for him? Coz it sounds like you do.

I have been with my husband for 25 years, and although I didn't have many relationships before (maybe 5 or so, lasting two months to 8 months; ) once the relationship(s) had ended, I didn't give them a second thought after a few weeks or maybe two months or so.

This 'I taught him this and that' sounds a bit weird I must admit, and kind of arrogant. (No offence.)

Was it an acrimonious breakup? Did he end it?

I agree with the ones on here who say 'move on.'

well done if you have resisted the temptation!
anything other than 'awww that's lovely hun' is going to look suss!

I think this post is totally appalling!

Do you have any idea how arrogant this makes you appear?

I agree 100% with this:

I don't think this sounds bitter or anything, although I agree with other posters that it would be better not to post this. You simply seem to be observing that people change, and that you may well have played a part in his personal development.
