Re: (Sigh) Suddenly Single: I agree with Christy. Don't let him abuse you like this Bug.
Breathe in - Breathe out......don't listen to him and as hard as it is - wipe your butt with his comment and the so called comment this other person may or may not have said. He is just trying to put you down.
HUGS to you! SS

This is why he did it. There are many people out there that can only build themselves up by tearing others down. Sad, but true. Don't believe what he says Bug.

Re: (Sigh) browngreen: BUg,
He sounds like a pretty socially inept person.
My son will say things about how so-and-so thinks I'm weird or whatever (in this town, I tend to stick out becuase I"m not a 1950's throwback) and it does get under my skin sometimes, especially when I feel that I was nice and not-weird to the person. Also, I worry about how it affects him. If He's offended.
I usually blow it off and just say "O really? They said that, huh? Well did you tell them they're right? I AM weird, and I'm Proud?"
Truth is, it DOES bother me a little, for like 10 minutes. The last time, I told my son that it's not nice to pass that sort of thing along, and I for one don't want to hear it. I had found myself getting upset and trying to discredit the person in question (usually the person in question is someone in our neighborhood, or another kids' parent, and my son here's the critique about me via his friends....).

(Sigh) AloneandCold: Why the F does he think he has to tell me this stuff for?
Him: I was talking to W today (some guy I used to work with for about 3 months, barely knew the guy. three years ago, haven't talked to or seen him since) and he pissed me off.
Me: Oh yeah, why is that?
Him: Because we were talking about how I (I being the ex) was single and he started going off on how butt ugly you are. I just wanted to tell you.
Me:......................... Um..... Why did you think you needed to tell me this?
Him: Because it pissed me off.
Now all of this was said with a more or less happy tone. Personally I'm not a barbie doll, but I am not butt ugly either. I think the guy was trying to console my ex since I left him, maybe? The last I knew the guy thought I was an okay person... What I don't get is why the hell he felt he needed to tell me this. It shouldn't matter but it really hit my self confidence a little. Ok a lot, I even went and stared at the mirror for a minute. :-[ ??? I come back out of the bathroom
Him: What's wrong?
Me:.............................................
(Sigh)
Re: (Sigh) half full: Sounds kinda passive agressive.
I mean why tell somone something like that.All it would do is make a person feel bad about themselves.
So sorry,and try not to let it get you down.
