Australia part two

[MichelleLT]

I think most of us took severe self-esteem blows from our exes. There's nothing like being left for another woman to make you insecure right? What greater slap in the face can there possibly be? Then if that's not enough they have to go and say horrible things to justify their actions, make it out like it's all our faults.

Of course we are all scarred from that.

But Ali has a point. The comments that set you off are not really compliments. They are like when my ex sorta apologized for cheating on me, then threw in the "but you looked better with long hair." It took me a while to pull out why I felt slapped, but when I did it made me furious because he was making lame excuses again.

Now, Joe is a fun fun fling. And it's great that he's made an effort to see you and hang out and that you have had fun. But you know he's immature, that he's fighting with his own addictions, that he's not long-term anything material. So don't get so wrapped up in what he thinks. He's not good enough for you anyhow! He is lucky you spend time with him!!!
