So, basically you broke up because you cheated on him?
And You're making yourself the victim because it happened a day *after* your birthday?
Honestly, when the relationship's over it's pretty rare I want to maintain contact with an ex. There's only one ex I have I kind of want to contact, and it's not for romantic reasons. We talked for like six years. I was used to looking for stuff for her. Shows, video games, clothes, just things she'd like. I got OCPD, so it bugs me. Every so often I'll find something and be like "Oh, she'd love this." and I'll just sit and stew because I can't contact her. It was a bad relationship, and if she isn't in one right now she'll think I want to get back together. I don't, I'm not single, but it's like I dedicated a chunk of my brain to her and it's still running.
Like, shit I'll just vent here. I watched The Sopranos some time back, she likes violence and angry dudes and gore. I think she'd really enjoy the sub-plot about Johnny Sack and his wife. The short version? He basically starts a war over someone in another crew making a fat joke about his wife. His wife is quite morbidly obese, it's true, but he loves her. And she's always buying all these diets to lose weight, so it pisses him off because he feels it's insulting her efforts. Then one day he comes home and he stumbles onto her eating junk food out of her secret stash. They have a big fight, but in the end he tells her he didn't care. He never wanted her to lose weight, he loves her just the way she is, and they hug. And then realizing he's been a fool, he calls off the war. Calls off a hit seconds before it would have happened.
Or like she always liked jiggly cutesy monsters in games ya see, like Studio Ghibli shit and the that copy of Digimon Ditto, the Slime from the Dragon Quest games. So, I'd love to be able to tell her about Slime Rancher, the game pretty much looks like it was made for her.
That's the other dichotomy, while she likes gory morbid shit she can't handle any harm coming to animals. She actually used to walk out of movies if something happened to an animal. She can't handle it. The other day I was googling some horror movie, and I found a sister site called dayoftheanimal.com. It's run by a bunch of women similar to her. They love horror movies, but can't stand harm coming to animals. So the point of the website? They attempt to watch every horror movie ever made and provide content warnings for violence to animals. She would *love* that site.
Oh well.
