Karma? Or Am I Just Being A Little Cold Hearted?

[SinsNotTragedy]

First of all, I'm new *waves*

Anyway, so this weekend, it was a full moon and weird things have happened. Saturday after work, I logged on and my exboyfriend had added me to his MSN list. I really didn't think much of it, since we haven't talked in 2 years, it was a rough breakup, after he broke it off over msn, after two years and started dating another girl the next day. It wasn't a pretty, or pleasant time in my life but I'm over it and waay much happier than I was ever with him.

So Sunday, I log back in, and he instant messages me to tell me that the girl, he dumped me for, broke it off with him, hours before I came online.

I hate to say it, but I feel like Karma has worked in my favorite. I also think, my feeling this way is tacky and rude. I know I'm thinking way too much into the situation, but I understand its hard when your heart has been stomped on, but I'm kinda glad this happened. It really did deflat his ego.

Sorry if this topic is silly, I feel kinda guilty. I also know I'm being childish.

DO NOT answer him!  There is only 1, I repeat ONE, an ex boyfriend contacts an ex girlfriend after he gets dumped. Booty Call.  No matter what line he feeds you about "just wanting to talk" (right, talk nekkid) or "just wants to be friends" (right, in your pants) it's all horse muffins.

That's the best part.

I got to shoot him down. It was quite a victory for me. He said something along the lines of how much of a mistake it was for him to have dumped me. And I coyly answered that no it wasn't.

*shrugs* I hate to sound childish.

Oh honey, I know how you feel. Right before I left for the Peace Corps, the ex who shattered my heart came crawling out of the woodwork (he had heard through the grapevine) wanting "closure" *snort* before I left. It felt soooooooo good to serve him his behind on a platter. 

Sometimes, it's feels good to be a little childish.

your feelings arent tacky or rude. They are yours and pretty much every ex-girlfriend feels this way at sometime. Heck, I still wish my ex would start pushing up daises.

After two years he broke up with you via IM?  He deserves whatever he gets.  And you deserve not to think of him for another second longer than it took you to type your post, you hear?

Karma is a wunnerful thing.
Don't reply, he had his chance and he BLEW it. When my ex came sniffing around right after I started dating hubby I tore him a new one. Golly it felt good.

Have a feeling about something is never rude.  Calling his to tell him you feel that way is rude.  Rude is not caring about what you do to others.  As long as its secret inside joy its ok.  And yes its Karma.

Ah, the lovely rumble of the Karma Bus, as it turns down the street to run some deserving soul over.  Don't feel guilty, he brought the situation on himself, sounds like his ego needed a bit of deflating.

Let me get this straight?  You maintained dignity, didn't cave to a slimeball ex who most likely wanted a booty call, and just have realized that you really were the one to come out on top in losing this guy in the first place... and that's childish?  If that's childish, then it's a pity more people aren't more childish.  I'd argue that you just had a bunch of emotions that only confirmed what you already knew:  you really are better off without that guy.  Seriously, if you'd gone back to the guy, THAT would have been childish.  Self preservation in this case was the most mature thing you could do.  As for having feelings, others are right.  Feelings are feelings.  You can't help those, and having feelings are never wrong.  It's never about what you feel, but what you actually do.  Judge yourself on your actions, not what you're feeling.

You owe me a new keyboard.

It's called schadenfreude. Go through it and then you get over it.

BTW It's not tacky and rude to feel something, it's tacky and rude to make some feelings known to those involved.

Gotta love the Internet/Text Message break-up.  I think it's awesome you stood your ground, and the fact taht Karma has come around isn't tacky or rude!  The hardest thing for me when an ex comes back around, no matter how happy I am, is going soft.  Even if I have no interest in them I can't just give them the big eff you.  Stick to it, you rock!
