I Got ____ In The Breakup

I thought I would pose a question as I realize today that I'm wearing clothes from my ex today.

What did you get in a break up? What did you keep? What did you hide before you kicked their ass out?

I got a great wine opener that was expensive.

What did you get? The clap? A child? Palimony?

A broken hall mirror, a slammed refridgerator door that warped, threats, and a lot of paranoia.

I got my fucking sanity back.

And an xbox.

I got my child. i finally got good sex WHOOOHOOO lol. and well hmmm i guess i paid for everything else so yeah i guess i came out pretty good considering hes in a homeless shelter because hes to lazy to keep a job and keeps donating his sperm to random people and is now in his oh i think 6th or 7th child.

I got the freedom from physical abuse (yup), and the clear head to find someone who is a piece of heaven on earth -- as well as an awesome huge 1880s ball-and-claw foot dining room table with 10 matching chairs.

Well, I gained a stalker that I had to take legal action against, a tremendous amount of grief and loss over something that was spectacular and failed in a colossal fashion (I hate failure), many beautiful memories and the knowledge that I am capable of love greater than I was aware. Oh yeah - and now am dirt-ass poor and broke as a result. LOL.

Me too. (so, where is my antique dining room set, huh? ;)
Insted, I got a piano, gold jewelry, furnature, and a Kitchen Aid mixer. Not bad, right?
My Ike Turner loved to buy high-quality 'apology' gifts.

Dirty fucker. I hope he rots.

I got one small end table.

$70,000 in debt.

high blood pressure

exiled to another state

6 litigations in 4 years


but
I got free

and I got her that was well worth all the above.

Is it weird that I would fuck you for the rights to that dining room set?

I prefer to think of them as "lovely parting gifts", like on the Price is Right. Helps to take the sting out of the break-up.

I received an all expense paid trip to Disney World including a 5 day Hopper Pass, a RCA bookshelf stereo with CD and dual cassette player, and a Broyhill sofa and love seat set. But most importantly I got back my self-respect, self-esteem, and a few friends he had alienated.

Hurricane's are named after SO's because they are wet and wild when they come yet take your house and car when they go.

I got stood up on Valentine's Day and got to return all the presents.

Lost $1.5 million in personal assets (and no that was not counting quasi assets like the boats and cars)

Walked away from joint assets -approx $5 million.

Got three years legal battle.

Lost the yachat.

Gained My freedom.
My sex drive.
My self respect
and my independance.

when my last relationship ended, i got my identity back. i wasn't the same person i was before when we were together; i was who he wanted me to be... i swear, NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!

hope we all live and learn, and let's hope there "IS" a next time, Bruce

Stacy, first of all it seems that I'm stalking you online tonight :)
Second, I did the same thing. Was engaged to a guy three different times, who wanted me to change and when I did, didn't want someone who would change. Turns out he didn't want to be in a relationship...

What I got was a 97 GMC 1500, the experience of hiking 900 miles, a few therapy sessions, my sense of humor, my family and my sanity back.

Been single for 4 years and have had a blast along the way :D
