Got a call from the ex tonight

[joetechParticipant]

So, I’m online scrolling through the forums with a drink and my phone starts dinging. It’s her. “Happy Easter” etc. I’m ambivalent. Then the phone rings. It’s her. We make some small talk and she tells me about the grandson and how he misses papa. A few minutes later, I hear her daughter coming home and I can hear the little guy in the background. I doubt he even remembers me. She tells me a friend of mine came by the house recently to ask about me. That explains the text I got from him the other day. At the end of the conversation she tells me that she loves me and that’s what makes it so hard. I respond, “You had a helluva way of showing it.” Then I hang up. These bitches don’t accept responsibility for a damn thing that they do to us. NFG! I wonder what she thinks we have left to talk about?

These things don’t happen to guys who don’t pick up the phone.

Sorry about the grandson. The holidays have a way of opening up old wounds, and c~~~s trying to start new ones.

I hear the words text, call. Your dealing with women. Do none of both. Texting is an open one sided opportunity for a c~~~ to belittle you or otherwise “win” a conversation. Nothing new to you, but they’re opportunistic bitches trying to gain the upper hand. F~~~ em

Happy easter

skip the cavernous vag and go your own way

Silence. Because it prophylactic.

Women have problems with boundaries. The whole brainwashed masses about ‘rape culture’ gained popularity among women because they themselves have little regard for other people (male and female) autonomy and are content in imposing their ideas at others expense.

Exhibit B: Telling a c~~~ to go f~~~ herself will rarely lead to the c~~~ going away. However, she will f~~~ herself without your help. Yet pop back for ‘just a hello’.

She misses me more than I miss her. Answering the phone gives me the opportunity to hang up on her. It’s time I started using her, I have my reasons.

If I got a call from the ex at any time, it would be time to smash the phone, grab the bugout bag and run!

I never want to hear from that bitch again for as long as I live

She knows there is nothing.
The whole blablah was to pull you in, to make you part of, to be inclusive.
And once you are inside, you are involved – even if only on the phone.
when you are involved, there are things to talk about.

She was 3 minutes away from getting her hooks into you, your mind, your head.
Just so she could f~~~witcha down the road.

Another indication of this is the setup:
Text: no answer – follow up phone call to press the issue.

You dodged because you learned and kept your head clear.
Lurkers pay attention!

They start s~~~ on the holidays.

When the Ex calls, the question is never WHAT she wants it is only HOW MUCH?

Not even worth spending a second thought. “Hello, how much?” – saves some time and you don’t have to waste time listening to her nonsense.

She’s fishing bro. No more contact is probably best.

Peace is > piece.

The fact she called you means she has no one else to bug.

Apparently Chad was putting his eggs in someone else’s basket for Easter.

LOL! Man you come up with some good ones. I never knew Mr. Spock was so damn witty.

Mine is not even plugged into the wall (Yeah, I still roll circa 1970) until I want to place a call.

I’m not trying to be a dick here, just asking an honest opinion.

What’s the best-case scenario of talking to your ex? Why bother picking up the phone?

I ask because i stopped taking my ex’s calls as soon as i paid off & separated. No emails, calls, txts, etc. Nothing. Now that i’ve seen her true colors, I just can’t imagine anything positive coming from any interaction w/her.

She was probably feeling lonely and wanted some attention to which after she gets it she would dump you off like trash again… Good on your brother for leaving it as you did!

^^Exactly this.
Why are you answering the phone?

[joetechParticipant]

I answer the phone because it gives me the satisfaction of driving home my point from 2000 miles away, and the sound of my voice reminds her of what she threw away.
