Dear Ex Boyfriend

LegacyUser

Hi

My Ex boyfriend and I broke up over a year ago. It was my first serious relationship and due to many reasons it didn't work out. As break ups go, ours was as bad as they get. I didn't cope very well with what had happened and I had to face things that I had never wanted to deal with before. There was a lot of hurt and anger on both sides. It dragged on for months and everything spiralled out of control.

I wouldn't say that it was a bad relationship because we learned alot from it and certainly helped each other through certain things that occurred along the way.

Bottom line is, it's over and in the past..that's for me, anyhow. I have had to work very hard to get my life back on track and for the first time in almost six months I am very happy.

Unfortunately, my Ex continues to bad mouth me. I hear it back through mutual friends and see things he writes on websites we are both on.

I understand that it's a free world and people are entitled to their opinion. I understand that I shouldn't read things that I know might hurt me. I understand that alot of hurtful things were said and done when we broke up. But no point in regrets, because no one can change the past, we can only move on.

I wish he would stop bad mouthing me. I can say with certainty that he is not having to go through the same because I have no contact with him and I don't talk about him.

It's very hard to ignore and not take to heart what he says about me. I feel it prevents both him and I from moving on fully and just getting the hell on with things.

I don't want to contact him directly.

To anyone who is going through a break up, don't do this to yourselves. To the person who might know that this is about them, please stop, forget about me for good and leave me alone please.

As the old saying goes, "If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all"

Thanks for reading.
