Hey everyone, I wanted to give an update to my last post about my now ex-girlfriend and the whole “fair” situation.
After that whole mess, things were rocky. We were still talking, but something just felt off. Then, we started talking about my sister’s upcoming wedding. Out of nowhere, she said, “I’m only coming for your sister.” Not “for you and your family” or “to celebrate with you,” but specifically for my sister.
The second those words came out of her mouth, I remembered a comment someone left under my last post telling me to watch out for little signs of disrespect and self-centeredness. That comment hit me in the moment like a brick to the head. I realized right then that I didn’t have to keep putting up with the way she treated me.
So I looked at her and said, “Matter of fact, you’re uninvited.” She just stared at me, probably waiting for me to backpedal or joke about it. But I didn’t. I meant it. I got up, ended the conversation, and never called her back.
That was it. No more games, no more waiting for her to change, no more being told I was “immature” just because I stood up for myself.
To everyone who commented last time telling me what I needed to hear — thank you. You gave me the clarity I didn’t want to admit I needed. And to everyone who saw the post, agreed with the advice, but didn’t comment — you were right too.
I’m feeling a lot lighter now. Sometimes the trash really does take itself out.
