Now You Have To Be Kidding Me! - Part 2!

So, if you didn't already read the previous post now is your time to do so, I'll allow a 5 min recess for reading catch-up over here.

Welcome back...

Following an hour or so of instant emails between myself and Bex (productivity at work took a bit of a bashing this day!) I laid down my true thoughts on the issue. I tend not to get straight to the point for fear of upsetting my friends. But to be quite honest I was getting a bit annoyed that the amazing Miss Bex couldn't see she was being taken for a ride! I know there is a massive difference between giving advice and taking it, but come on, your bf is advertising his sexual services on Gumtree (hello? Gumtree = international - the boy's going global here, it's not just the local newspaper!).

I'll break it down for you - this is what I said to Bex:

1 He's hit you, lied to you, cheated on you, finished with you, got bored with you, used you and stolen from you.

As if number 1 wasn't enough of a reason I thought I would push it home with number 2...

2 STDs are a massive possibility. if he's low enough to advertise his services (at her flat I'd like to add!) he must have some kind of nasty dirty disease - maybe even a plethora (I love that word!)

So, Bex totally took my points and made all the right noises at the right times. She even said "right, that's it, I can't take it any more...it's over!".

Yes, you clever reader, you totally guessed it! She lied!

Apparently it was his friends who set it up as a joke (er...the words "yeah" and "right" spring suddenly to mind!), I'm sure he used the words "sorry" and "I love you" in his many excuses, but sorry sweetheart, sorry doesn't cut it sometimes!

And, guess what, he's trapped her as well now because he booked them a tripped to Las Vegas and it's not for 6 months - who's going to turn down an all expenses paid trip??

I'm struggling to understand! If someone disrespects you so much how can you possibly go back for more! She keeps emailing me now telling me how well things are going and how great he's being.

Is it bad for me to be thinking that I really cannot be bothered to reply (obviously I reply with "that's great" and "I'm really pleased he's being nice")?

B to the EX

I started off writing the most recent secret but soon realised that you need some background first or I will be forever blogging in the past and I want to go real-time, so I will try and round up the secret givers as best as I can over this coming week.

Bex

Bex and I met aged 18, first time living away from home, we were possibly the worst 2 people to be living together.

Bex was from the mid-north and me from the south, we were both a bit crazy with wicked sense of humours. Being students we didn't stick to the going-out rules from home (i.e. Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights), we went out Monday through Thursday and the whole of our residence (all 4,000 freshers!) stayed in over the weekends. In our block there were 7 floors, each floor had 2 flats and each flat had 12 students. Bex and I were the only 2 girls in flat 14 on the 7th floor!

Every weekend was spent wondering around the several blocks of flats in our mini-village in Southampton making friends and drinking a lot!

At the time Bex had a serious boyfriend (they split up in the 2nd year) and I was free, single and loving life. Bex confessed she was sometimes jealous as I didn't have to worry about a) what bf was doing at his uni and b) If what I did would upset anyone, for example our first night at uni there was a gathering of us and the 10 boys from our flat in my room, they all started to leave the room, 1 boy left:

Jen: Can you get in my bed so I can go to sleep.

Cokey: Get in your bed?

Jen: No, I said get out of

Needless to say I woke up in the morning and Monsieur Coke was still in my bed.
Back to Bex...

After uni Bex and I lost contact for a few years, it's difficult living so far apart to keep in touch when you have different things going on. I know that's a lame excuse (OMG, I haven't said "lame" in years!!) but it's my excuse so suck it up!

Anyway, we found each other again and I now get daily emails from Bex. She has a boyfriend, lets call him Dumbo. Last year Bex admitted that Dumbo has hit her (she filed a police report then retracted it - bad girl), we both know he's cheated on her, he uses her for money and a place to crash, he's a 26 year old child not wanting to grow up (can you see the love i harbour for this dude?), he cannot commit to her...and the best is yet to come!!

I've grown more and more intolerant towards Dumbo and I've never even met him. I really don't like disliking people but he's definitely on that list!

Bex is a serious candidate for the "boy trouble" category as it's all she ever seems to have.

She's a perfect girlfriend in my eyes. She's beautiful, she's athletic (she's actually a sports model and is a lookalike for a famous tennis player (I shall not say which as you might Google her)), she's a dancer, an excellent friend, she's bright and confident.....a real shining star!

I do love my Bex! But I don't love her issues.
