Do any of you watch Vanderpump Rules? Sad to say, I do. I am not even sure how I got sucked into this reality show, but now I am. You know how that goes!
So, this week’s episode featured the conclusion of a long running story line. A guy on the show may or may not have cheated on his current girlfriend on a boy’s trip to Miami. The weird part is, she isn’t concerned about it, his EX girlfriend is the one who keeps pursuing “Miami girl”. She even goes so far as to bring Miami girl into the bar they all work at during their shifts.
It was crazy ex-girlfriend at its highest form! It brings to mind my fave saying “Everybody loves crazy til crazy loves you back”!
We’ve all been there. Some guy literally drives you to the brink of insanity with his ridiculous douchery. You end up freaking out and appearing to be the crazy ex. And you don’t really care because you have clearly lost your mind over the constant BS and fuckery (sorry mom!) you have been putting up with. I get it, trust me.
What I don’t get is why Kristen (the ex) still cares this deeply? It appears, though I have not been a long time viewer, that everyone has moved on. Kristen even is living with a different guy at this point.
My only thought as to why she has carried this torch for so long is that she wants to prove to the world that he was a cheater and liar all along. She wants everyone to see that she was the wronged one in the relationship. I kinda get that, maybe. And I believe they were together for many years, again, I kinda get that.
I used to adhere to the best way to get over someone is to move on to someone else, but what happens if you do that, but still can’t let go of the past? And how long does it take you to move past it?
Luckily, I haven’t ever ended up turning into a Grade-A Kristen, but if I were honest with myself, I probably ruined some potentially good relationships over unresolved past douchebaggery by the guy before him.
And I do still have one or two past boyfriends I wouldn’t be sad to see suffer some sort of personal misfortune, but I no longer feel I am the one that needs to orchestrate it. I would, however, be really happy to hear about it. (Baby steps! I am a work in progress people!)
And please do not think I am saying only women can be the crazy, there are a lot of crazy ex boyfriends out there too! Honestly, I think crazy ex BF’s can be waaaay worse.
What about you? Have you held a revenge torch long after you broke up? What made you feel that way? I’d love to hear about it in the comments.
