So I went out to watch the UFC fights last night. Im a pretty social guy so I usually churn up some conversation with those around me. A guy sat down at my table with his girlfriend and I just couldnt hold back. We got into a conversation about how we both had long term relationships that failed (me a marriage and him a babymama). My x actually fkd me over harder than a normal fk over so I have a bad taste in my mouth for sure but I dont let it out in public. I dont bring bad vibes to the table. We were discussing my former house (with the x) and my new place and he said "ohhh, thats a pretty big drop". And it is. I was in a fantastic neighborhood in a great house and now Im just some apartment guy in a crappy neighboring town. I looked at him and said "yep, and Im not very happy about it". I put on a smile because I was trying to keep it light. So this guy then looks over at his new girlfriend and said "well you know what my dad always told me? Even when it ends badly, THEY ARE WORTH IT". I know that was a little signal to his girlfriend that he was a good guy and not bitter. And so I could not hold it in at that point. I had several beers in me and I look at them and say, "you know what, I dont think they are". There was almost no conversation after that. I tried to engage him a little but he choose to talk to this other guy at the next table who also was with his girlfriend. Ah yes, men still taking the blue pill after a bad split. To each their own.
