Beware the Vengeful Friends of an Ex, Including Me

Posted on 06:00 by rendy orton
It's frustrating to get dumped.
That's an established and widely acknowledged fact.

But what about the way someone can feel towards a person that spurned their friend?
I bet you've seen and/or experienced that powerful spite in some form, haven't you?

I have, and here are two examples (one from each side of the spectrum):

Example #1: I'm the recipient
This girl *Lisa that always gives me crusty looks because I didn't keep dating her friend *Vivian.
Funny, because Vivian and I never even reached the hand-holding stage, let alone serious dating.
Lisa doesn't know why I didn't keep asking her friend out, and she likely never will.
But if she wants to be crusty, that's her choice. No skin off my nose.
Example #2: I'm the giver
My buddy *Chris was head-over-heels for a gal named *Jenny.
I don't know why they broke up, but I still kind of harbor negative feelings for her.
She's a fun, friendly girl, and fortunately I don't run into her very often anyway.
My choice is to be nice to her when I do run into her, even though I'm still a little bitter.

Turns out forgiveness isn't just for the people that were in the relationship.
Sometimes (often?) it's also for the friends and loved ones of those who broke up.

So I'm letting go my bothered feelings towards Jenny and others who've hurt my friends.

Man, I feel better already.

How about you? Any unnecessary vengeful feelings holding you down?
I encourage you to let them go. Isn't it about time?

*Names changed to protect both the innocent and not-so-innocent.
