LV men love being bullies. Besides correcting one of them on a few things and them saying "No OnE LiKeS a KnOw-It-aLL" I've compiled a list of my various exes' favorite sayings:

  • "Must be nice" — Yes, it is nice. Keep sulking over there.
  • "What about me?" — What about you? Put on your big boy pants and problem solve.
  • "I don't want to text every day" — Proceeds to text me 30+ times a day and panics when I don't respond.
  • "Why do you know so many useless facts? Did you go to some international private school or something?" — I like to read and I don't think my knowledge is useless. Sounds like projection; maybe you don't know enough.
  • "I don't like it when a woman makes more than me." — If I was still with this ex, he would probably cry at the fact I now make 3x what he does. And I used my 'useless facts' to get there.
  • "I'll always stand up for you." — NEVER did. Was and still is an absolute coward.

The more I read the books on the reading list, the more I understand that these were not 'jokes' or fun things my exes were saying. They were clearly showing who they were and I chose to ignore it. Not making that mistake again anytime soon!
