It’s been 6 weeks and 4 days since I broke up with my boyfriend of 6 months, 3 weeks and 2 days. Although ‘broke up with’ is perhaps not as appropriate as ‘dumped the lying shit’ – but that’s simply semantics.
I have managed to forgo the usual pattern of breaking up having completely skipped the upset and moved straight to the anger section of the process. That is really a gimme since he decided that it was acceptable to sleep with one of my friends over the weekend that I was lying sick in my bed with the flu. So that’s one ex-boyfriend and one ex-friend with no waiting!
Honestly, I think I’m more mortified than anything else. And a little embarrassed and, of course, livid. But the fact that I wasn’t as upset as I think I should be probably shows that perhaps he wasn’t the right guy for me. Well, that and the fact that he slept with my friend! What a git! Surely there are some guys out there with a little moral fibre.
My mum never liked him anyway which should have made me worry from the get go. Always listen to your mum – that’s my new motto! So I’m practically over it now (apart from the little flares of righteous anger that come every now and then) and I’m quite excited to be single. We’ll just see how long that excitement lasts.
And to be even more positive – I don’t have to buy that god-awful bran cereal I hate, I don’t have to see whether the toilet seat is up or down and I don’t have to feel guilty when I want to watch a soppy, girly thing on the telly just because he’s missing yet another night of football.
So this is the start of my blog and my new life! As well as my normal job (I work in a florists and occasionally my mum makes me help with her dog walking business) I just got a ‘job’ helping this little old lady in her home. I’ll just be doing little tasks for her, some cooking, cleaning, shopping but mainly keeping her company. Should be fun and a little different so long as she’s not one of those evil old ladies that’s going to be nasty to me. And also so long as she doesn’t make me catch any spiders! That starts on Monday so I’ll let you know if I survive.
