Rubbing it in

By lmiller - 24/01/2010 03:29 - United States

Today, when I logged onto Facebook, I discovered a friend request from my ex who broke up with me and deleted me months ago. Upon adding her, I was taken to her profile where I saw dozens of status updates talking about how much she loves her new boyfriend, who she dumped me for. FML

took a year to finally get my ex to stop trying to add me on myspace. her reason for the add? " I'm engaged it's not like I want you back." uhM... I never said anything about getting with you. I just hate you is all so stop sending friend requests

"My ex" by itself is sufficient to indicate THEY broke up. Adding "I broke up with" clearly means "HE broke up with HER, hence the initial confusion. Geez, I can't believe I'm explaining this to an FML staff.

You don't seem to have read Alan's post correctly. If I said "I broke up with my girlfriend", it MAY mean I did the dumping, but then again it could easily mean SHE did instead. But granted, it was ambiguous.

"my ex who broke up with me and deleted me months ago"..... "new boyfriend who she had dumped me for"

Well, what did you expect? All her status updates to about how she misses you and how much she wish she never let you go?

you shouldnt have accepted her request, you asked for it...

Ah, Facebook drama! A never-ending source of entertainment.

^ If you just wanted to inform someone about the break up without indicating the dumper/dumpee, wouldn't you just say "we broke up"? I have a hard time understanding your POV because to me, saying "I broke up with her" is equivalent to "I dumped her". Is this a to-may-toe to-mah-toe thing?

You have a good point; I was just saying a lot of people would say "I broke up with her" instead. It wouldn't be grammatically correct to say "we broke up" in the FML without completely rewriting the first half. Still, it's fixed now, so it's all good ;)
