Dumped Right Before Christmas Part 2

I should’ve known it was him by the drab sound of the doorbell!

I swear everything he came near turned to shit. 

  • He never moved his arms when he walked; that should have been a red flag.
  • He didn’t have any friends and had a shit of a relationship with his twin brother; that should’ve been a red flag.
  • He once told me that women should speak only when spoken to; that should’ve been a red flag.
  • He was cheap and would order ONE meal and expect us to share it; that should’ve been a red flag.
  • He was quiet; he had no personality; that should’ve been a red flag.
  • I could go on and on, but you get the point!

Five days passed, and I had experienced all of the necessary stages that a newly dumped person goes through.

  1. Sadness
  2. Anger
  3. Confusion
  4. Second guessing yourself
  5. Telling play-by-play to your friends
  6. Finally, you’re over it

When the doorbell rang, I was over it, and the last thing I wanted to see was his oddly shaped face and beady little eyes. 

The front door slowly opened, and there he was, wearing a sweatshirt, sweatpants, and a baseball cap. The first thing I thought was, “Oh, don’t dress up for me”. He looked a mess, and his breath was atrocious! 

When he said, “Why haven’t you called me?” my nose caught on fire, and my eyes began to bleed. 

After I put the fire out and stopped the bleeding, I saw him for the first time for who he indeed was and not who I wanted him to be.

He came to my house looking and smelling like trash; he instantly blamed me and truly wanted me to explain myself as if I were the one who stood him up. Apparently he didn’t think I sounded excited about going out to dinner with him so he decided to wait for me to grovel at his feet.

If you know me, you know I’ve never skipped a meal EVER, nor have I waited for someone to bring one. Jumping for joy over a date should never be expected from anyone, especially from a cheap bastard whose idea of nice dinner consists of loaded corndogs and chilly cheese fries.

Five days later (when he showed up at my door), I was able to tell him that he stinks and looks like he had just crawled out of a dumpster. My heart was calm when I told him that I had on blinders when I was dating him. The laughter that was in my soul exploded when I said, “You’re nothing to me, and I feel disgusted for ever liking you. In fact, these last five days were exactly what I needed to get over you.

He was just a big YUCK, and I can’t even imagine what type of overbearing asshole he is today. 

I closed the door as hard and as fast as I could and locked it. A few months later, my life changed forever; I met the man of my dreams.

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

  10. I honestly cannot come close to understanding what goes on inside the heads of these people. They are from another plane, that is for sure.
    Why are we blind to red flags as they happen? At least you had time to look back and focus 😉

      4. We have no clue as to how we deal with our feelings and unfortunately some of us aren’t taught what to put up with and what to trash. We live and learn and pass down knowledge to other hopeless teens. LOL

  11. Half way through your post I thought “this guy sounds like a drunk” and then when you said he smelled like trash I was convinced, haha. Not moving your arms when you walk is a definite red flag… it seems so simple and inconsequential but I have never met someone who didn’t move their arms who wasn’t also a bag of nuts.

  12. My wife had the same problem with asshole dude back when i first met her in 1983. Thankfully i was there for her and she was there for me. I nearly kicked his ass one night (it never became a physical fight) after that night he never ever returned to bother her. I made it clear he would be put down. My wife (girlfriend at the time) was so scared he was going to hurt me and I laughed. I told here “Naw, I would have slaughtered him.” I was more worried about hurting the focker than him hurting me. She figured because he was older than me he could hurt me. Age has nothing to do with spirit.

  27. I’m sorry you went through that. I swear it takes forever to find the right soul. I went through some thorny bushes myself. I am happy you found someone that you feel happy with. I am grateful to have my husband. He’s truly my best friend.
