A Peek Into the Now-Dusty Ex Files
Posted by Lynnster on April 18, 2008
In recent weeks, random information floating around the Internet has revealed that the being known here on the Zone for eons as The Freeloader Ex has apparently gotten himself a divorce in recent months.
One of my best gal pals from college days asked me in an e-mail yesterday: “So, shouldn’t you posting something over at DontDateHimGirl.com right about now?”
Tempting, yes. But probably not.
Oddly enough, and much through the same channels, right about the same time, I also found out another ex-boyfriend of mine has also apparently gotten divorced in the past year or so. That bit of news rather surprised me… unlike the above about FE, which really didn’t surprise me all that much.
In that particular case, no warning off needed for the female masses. That one’s not without some absolutely infuriating qualities, but he’d probably say the same about me, and basically, he’s okay. Me personally, I’d just be, like, been there, done that, I’d pass, thanks.
Probably needless to say, having been almost completely out of work for four months until March, even a small chunk of the literally thousands of dollars the Freeloader Ex owes me, my mother, and owed my late father (in the latter case a pretty largish amount) sure would come in a little handy right now. And since he got his master’s degree a while back, presumably he is well employed these days. But I suppose now alimony and child support will sop up a large percentage of that, and I haven’t held my breath any waiting to see a dime paid back the last, oh, almost 15 years, so I don’t suppose I’ll start holding my breath now either.

Sometimes it’s just better to write off the money and be glad he’s not your problem anymore.

Yeah… good point, Churlita. I’m glad my readers are so smart ‘cos sometimes I’m not so much. *nodding*

An expensive lesson learned. Write it off and move on, like Churlita said.
