Leveling up is the best revenge.

Oh sis, I. AM. HOWLING!

In the middle of my soft cozy bed, like a glorious starfish, on a sunny Saturday morning. I’m going to make a good cup of coffee, have a croissant, take as long as I please to get up and get ready, and go about my day doing whatever the F I please!

No dancing about on the head of a pin to keep some whiny, moody, entitled man happy, because nothing is good enough.

Yeah..... it’s a hard pass. No thanks.

I can’t believe I wanted to marry an LVM with no ambition...my life would’ve sucked.

s_slayer · 2020-09-05T15:32:51+00:00

So beyond glad I didn’t marry any of the 3 that talked about it to me. For starters, they were all messed up emotionally, just hid it well from the rest of the world. I also might never have met my current partner and the love of my life who gives me so much of his time, love, affection and attention - something my exes didn’t do, they tossed me just enough crumbs over the years to keep my then-pathetic ass strung along. I weep for the pickmeisha I once was.

It's great. I slept in and had a great snuggle with my dog. Had a cup of coffee with an episode of New Girl. Funny show btw but I'm picking it apart now that I know about FDS 😂. Then went for a nice walk with my dog. Nice weather today, low 70's is my fave. Now just relaxing with some more coffee and an adorable snoring dog. No man-stress whatsoever. Life is nice.

JaneIsaPain · 2020-09-05T12:57:19+00:00

Not one ex when asked by my mother do I regret not marrying. Not one. But at the time I thought I did. Funny what some space and distance can do to how you view a person.

temptressinateacup · 2020-09-05T13:26:40+00:00

My ex dropped out of an Ivy League degree in maths and engineering to become a cop 🤡

UnforgettableBevy · 2020-09-05T21:08:24+00:00

That ex wrote me a letter 20 YEARS LATER that basically said I haunt his subconscious and he regrets his decisions as a young man and I’m the reason why he drinks at night.

.... and we all laughed!!!!!!

sunset74420 · 2020-09-05T15:39:32+00:00

If I would have gone through with it, I would most likely be in an orange jumpsuit right about now.

BellaStayFly · 2020-09-05T17:11:01+00:00

Thank you Universe for saving me from my younger self. Not getting what you want is often a blessing!

Inspection-Critical · 2020-09-05T16:01:49+00:00

The guy I wanted to marry at 19 turned out to be a sociopath who stalked every woman he ever dated and committed revenge porn on at least one of them. He was terrifying.

The scariest part was his ability to "switch it on and off" in polite company. He ended up marrying a very accomplished woman who was a total doormat and catered to his every need like a servant.

I never think about him anymore unless a post like this comes up. When that happens, I get a chill like someone just walked over my grave. Or that feeling you get when you're crossing the street and almost get hit by a car.

MuffinSongs · 2020-09-05T14:31:54+00:00

Hahaha!!! He woulda showed up late strung out on god only knows what drugs! Hahahaha! No.

Izzy4162305 · 2020-09-05T18:53:26+00:00

Mine still calls every few years to see if I’m interested in getting back together. He actually made one of those calls shortly before he got engaged, I didn’t even realize the timing until I randomly bumped into him a few years later and he told me he got engaged, married, blah blah. I feel terrible for his now-ex-wife, she deserved better.

clairemaffeis · 2020-09-05T14:43:08+00:00

Gag.

Saltwich · 2020-09-05T16:28:34+00:00

Oh my God thank you Jesus 🙏😩

Merryprankstress · 2020-09-05T18:17:11+00:00

Oh man...he strung me along years...kept dating me on and off but wouldn't put a ring on it.. the last time we were "on" he was finally like "I'm totally ready, we're gonna do this" and then a few weeks later dumped me via text. I dodged a fucking missile, and now I'm finally over that clown!

Mysterious_Midnight7 · 2020-09-05T13:16:03+00:00

This reminds me of a cherished story: my first real bf as a teen (and you know how even then you think you're gonna marry your bf) was a LVM and I was devastated when he dumped me. It took months for me to start getting over it. About six years later, I was walking through the mall with an attractive FWB I had at the time, when I noticed these two guys walking in the opposite direction towards us. I found myself staring at them because there was something familiar that I couldn't figure out. Just as we passed each other, one of them looked at me and said hi. It was only at that precise moment I realized he was that ex, my first bf! I literally turned my head to look back at him as I kept walking and I lmao every time I remember this because I am certain I had a horrified expression on my face. His hair was longish and looked greasy and he had gained loads of weight. He was almost unrecognizable. Obviously I didn't say hi back because I was mortified at the thought of anyone thinking I even knew him. And there I was, looking better than ever with this hot man by my side. It was glorious.

usually_compliant · 2020-09-05T20:30:34+00:00

I thank the universe every day that I did not marry my ex who I was "engaged" to (no ring, just an "understanding"). Now I get to explore my life on my terms without any whining, duty sex, dirty socks, video game noises, and constant berating and belittling about my tastes, hobbies, body, family, job, etc. UGH!!!

sunnyxbaby · 2020-09-05T23:32:00+00:00

My ex was an absolute horror story. Got together when I was low on self esteem, and he completely used it to his advantage. He didn't work for almost a year and suddenly when he got a barely minimum wage job, he was just hot shit. He'd get all crazy jealous of my friends and used to tell me I was worthless and all kinds of things. He got physically abusive, and I finally ended it and the night we broke up, he went and fucked my best friend. I moved on, finished my degree, started working out, lost a bunch of weight, handled my self esteem issues, and now I'm married to an absolutely AMAZING man, while my ex works at Staples. Lol

7Cuervos · 2020-09-05T16:45:00+00:00

This is why being completely fine with being by yourself is important, saves you from mistakes like that

purrlikabaws · 2020-09-05T13:51:00+00:00

thinks about those exes AHAHAHA GAGS Ahaha...

MamiG13 · 2020-09-05T16:56:16+00:00

This is GREAT!

Adawritesrules · 2020-09-05T18:59:36+00:00

Dropping LVM on is own is a huge chunk of leveling up. The rest happens naturally.

missdanielleyy · 2020-09-05T20:44:46+00:00

I’m a big Taylor Swift fan and this reminds me of one of her lyrics:

“Back then, I swore I was gonna marry him someday, but I realized some bigger dreams of mine.”

SpicyL3mons · 2020-09-05T14:36:21+00:00

Hahaha!!! I’m embarrassed for my past self

TriniGold · 2020-09-05T18:14:29+00:00

😆😆👏🏾

anotherdamnloser · 2020-09-05T18:48:12+00:00

Bullet dodged. I was so stupid!

MagnfiqueMaleficent · 2020-09-05T23:53:08+00:00

The one who never paid me back any of the money he promised to repay? He was busted at work doing some sort of white collar crime. Sounds about right.

The one who called my 112- pound self “fat” is balding and just got the WORST hair plugs you ever saw. I think he could only afford to do the top and not the back because there’s still a bald spot up there. Oh, and he’s super fucking fat and super fucking single. A mutual friend told me he’s on some sort of website where older men go to find sugar babies. Last I heard, he bought a girl a pair of fake tiddies and then she ghosted him. Sounds about right.

And the one with the itsy bitsy teenie weenie? Also got uglier, balder and fatter with a few added years. Lives in a super ugly house (for reals, it was on the market for 3 years with no bites in a seller’s market) and is married to a very unfortunate looking and unhappy-looking woman. Sounds about right.

NicolBolassy · 2020-09-06T00:08:44+00:00

Ya but at the same time I’m proud of myself for getting to this point young, instead of mid twenties..

BabyGotBantz · 2020-09-06T00:28:41+00:00

Let my cry with my loving husband in my big house and great career I can do from home. Fuck you Jared.

KetoKittenAround · 2020-09-05T18:21:44+00:00

I am having the best laugh at myself!!! No scrote to try to please so that he can just take it for granted. I am so so so so happy I didn’t tie that rock around my neck. What a damn life that would be! He’d be cheating (he was astoundingly good at that) and come home expecting me to build up his sorry ego. Naw... nawwwwwwwww

Nope! Instead when we broke up I moved to a new fantastic area. I got a nice place, and a gorgeous cat, awesome job, and date only HVM. But I don’t need a single one!

TwirlingSquirrel · 2020-09-05T23:32:21+00:00

Preach, ever think of your ex and wanna dance for joy that you’re no longer with them but at the same time vomit in horror since that could’ve been your life forever?

supadupactr · 2020-09-06T01:59:03+00:00

So true! I literally cannot believe I was going to marry that fool. I gave him blowjobs every single god damn day with his 2.5 incher, and he refused to go down on me once. He said it “was against his beliefs” and that “penises were cleaner anyways”. And when I didn’t go down on him, he gave a little baby hissy fit and wouldn’t talk to me until I did. I was so stupid!! But now I’m free from all fuck boys and crybabies, and my man goes down on me 30 min a day...I don’t return the favor 🤣🤣

michelle27519 · 2020-09-05T20:45:09+00:00

On girl!!!! This is the best post ever.

2020-09-06T21:31:26+00:00

I actually laughed out loud. Thank you

PM_ME_UR_PUPPY_PICS_ · 2020-09-05T23:54:36+00:00

Tfw you’ve never had an ex or a boyfriend to begin with haha

BungalowBootieBitch · 2020-09-06T00:23:11+00:00

I remember he said he was ready to get married and was good with a quick visit to the court house. Like it was a fucking drive thru.

alluringiv · 2020-09-06T02:36:13+00:00

Huge laugh and a sigh of relief

PinkBlair99 · 2020-11-15T17:08:06+00:00

Also: compare how they’ve aged to how you’ve aged. This gets better and better the older you get.

justthrowhimaway88 · 2020-09-05T23:26:14+00:00

The funniest thing is that my ex would be the one to suggest marriage all the time & I’d be like...no lol.
