I will occasionally Google my exes (or search MySpace, Facebook, whatever) just to see if I can find anything. Before everyone got smart and made their MySpaces private, I found some stuff and it made me feel GREAT. I admit it, I am a huge internet stalker.

When we first started dating he was so open and I felt like I completely understood him. Over the years that we dated he kind of closed up. The problem is my heart still feels like it ended with someone really cool, but my mind knows he changed SO much over the time we started dating. I wish he had a blog so I could remind myself what a jerk he has turned into. This is going to sound stalkerish, but I WISH my ex had a blog.

Hopefully my description of his awfulness can be proof enough! As for not having any juicy ex boyfriend stuff on the net, I'm sorry. It really is fun to look at and read. Fingers crossed they all start blogs! Tia- Oh yes... the struggling artist. It just makes me giggle now because I always thought he was so noble. Even though, you know his parents helped pay his rent and he bought second hand clothes not because he couldn't afford new stuff but because he thought it gave him more credibility as an artist. Paula- Lucky to escape... yep that sounds about right. Oh these poor guys, it's starting to sound like we avoided prison terms! Katie B- I know, right?! It definitely makes me giggle. Thankfully time allows people to forget about what they once loved. Sara Jane- Aww sorry lady! And yes, I think you said it perfectly with the word 'blinders'. that's definitely what happened... Brookem- I like to think that too, but I'm pretty sure he's happy. And you know what? I hope he is. Whoa. I feel so.. adult saying that! Princess Pointful- Text speak to communicate? Definitely a bad sign. Glad you've moved onwards and upwards! ;) Michelle Woo- Sorry for not linking lady! Hopefully my description of his awfulness can be proof enough!

It is nice to know that the morbid curiosity serves to our advantage sometimes. Facebook is like that for me. It reminds me how painfully average some of the biggest heartbreakers of my life are, and that my ex-boyfriend uses text speak to communicate. Brilliant post, my dear.

I was dying for a link... I can't forget the day that I looked at my ex's myspace and was laughing instead of crying. When you are dating someone, you see them in such a different light. It's so nice when you can take off the blinders and see them for who they really are. I love that you feel better about the situation. What a tease you are Miss Brandy! I was dying for a link…

I've def. reoccuringly went back to facebook pages, myspace, away messages, etc. and it is a great feeling when you eventually got to the point in time that you forgot it existed and were just going about your normal life. And then to remember and go back and have the reaction you did? Priceles. Rock on!

Not so much because of the website stuff - I stopped looking at that and his myspace four months ago now. But because he turned to me for comfort after he was dumped by my replacement. And the horrible things he said about her (despite me thinking all the same things myself when I first realised they were going out) made me wonder what he had said about me to her, and that perhaps I'd had a lucky escape...

I was going to request a link too. We need proof! I love that moment after a break-up, oftentimes waaaaaaay after a breakup, when that big question finally hits you: WHAT WAS I THINKING? Glad you got to revel in the guy's patheticness. My exes have nothing juicy on the internet. Believe me, I've looked. Haha. I was going to request a link too. We need proof!
