truly pathetic

i know i'm not very good at consistently blogging, but that's because i don't always have a ton of excitement in my life. i'm in a loving, committed relationship = boring. i am a nurse & work full time = boring. i don't have any children = boring. my point is, it takes something in the news or in real life to get under my skin to motivate me to blog. so this week....

sunday night i was pretty tired and headed to bed quite early, brett decided to head over to our friends place to hang out with friends, play pool, etc. suddenly at 0130am he gets a text from an unrecognized number. turns out it was his ex-girlfriend. as in FROM SIX(+) YEARS AGO! & here's the conversation:

pathetic white trash dirty redneck whore (PWTDRW): miss you
brett: who is this
PWTDRW: really?
brett: really. new phone.
PWTDRW: steph
brett: i can't talk.
PWTDRW: why?
brett: please don't try to contact me ever. i'm happy. i hope that you are too. please. thanks.

did i mention its been SIX(+) years?! what a friggin' idiot! so brett decides to tell me this on monday night, because we're very open & honest and don't keep things from each other. he thought i was upset about it and then got all angry and said, "you know what, i'm just not going to tell you when shit like this happens. i'm such an idiot, why do i give you ammo?" the thing is i wasn't mad, i was a little upset that she somehow has his phone number.

i don't think i shared back in december about how he performed a comedy show in his hometown. she & her entire family came to the show and sat in the front row. (oh yeah, i was at work in california at this time). and they all bought a crapload of his merchandise. i'm guessing brett either gave her brother his number, or business card (which is also how he remembers it). PWTDRW was really drunk that night and tried to come onto MY boyfriend, told him about her children & failed marriage blah blah blah. she gave brett her phone number that night which brett's brother happily tore into multiple pieces and sprinkled into the garbage can.

so while it is on my mind a few days later, it's mostly because i can't stop laughing at her pathetic ass! get over it. move on. your relationship ended long ago.

BUT i am a woman, so of course i wonder about things. it's only natural... so i logged onto our shared cell phone account, grabbed her number since i knew the time of the messages, tagged the number 'dirty whore' and went through our old bill cycles since december. she's never contacted him before & i already knew he wouldn't contact her. so why now? why four months later? i just can't stop shaking my head!
