Does he mean that he was so angry that he destroyed the bus orrr does he mean that the hole looks good enough to you know, use as a flesh light kinda thing coz he is horny but his ex broke up with him??? I am confused.
A lot of people who can't move on from a bad relationship. It's just sad.
It takes time, especially when they are actual jerks with you. I only found some of them straight worrying, the rest just made me giggle, although I wouldn't do it
Load More Replies...The best revenge is to get over it and move on. Easier said than done I know but........
The best way to deal with an ex is to completely ignore them. If you give your ex ANY sort of attention, like petty revenge, you're just fueling their ego and that "look how unforgettable I am" arrogance.
Some people don't have a choice since kids are sometimes involved in joint custody arrangements. But if you and your ex are decent people, you come to a mutual truce and understanding because, regardless of how you feel about each other, your kids don't need to witness the pettiness...
