Perhaps it’s passive-aggressive of me to point this out, but one thing that I’ve noticed is consistently true about people who do dirt is that they don’t like to be reminded of the collateral damage. Well, sorry, but there is collateral damage, and I’m it. Feel free to embrace your new ready-made life, but don’t for a second think that anything about this is clean or easy for somebody who has to stay behind and put his world back together.
I am going to express my own pain, disappointment and seething sense of betrayal on my own blog whenever the hell I feel like it, until I start getting better. You don’t have to heal, because this is all going exactly according to your most fervent wishes, but I’m roadkill. My apologies if that is inconvenient for you.
Anything truly shitty that I’ve needed to say to either of you, I’ve said via private message or email, and I’ve never even mentioned your name around here (and I’ve stopped mentioning hers as of my last post on this subject).
I invite you to stop reading my posts, as I have stopped reading yours and hers, if you feel that I’m somehow acting inappropriately by posting about my own life and my own feelings on my own blog.
If you have anything more to say on this matter, I invite you to say it on your own blog, where I won’t see it, or read it, ever. The only times I’ve ever gone over there is when a friend has said something along the lines of, “What the hell’s up with [blank]’s blog?” I don’t read either of you, because I don’t particularly feel like watching you two making kissy-faces over the fresh grave of my former relationship.
Again: I’m going to say whatever the hell I want here. I have exercised enormous restraint, and anybody who knew all the facts about this situation would whole-heartedly agree. You have your on-line world, and I have mine. There are mutual friends and readers, which is fine, but apart from that, I don’t want to see them intersect again. We have nothing more to say to each other, and if you can’t stand the occasional barb thrown your way, then 1) stop reading, and 2) maybe you should stop screwing people over.
I don’t expect to see you reblog my posts again.
