I want to murder some men. To be specific certain men (four and counting..)
I’m going through a ritual that happens at least once in a relationship (all of mine followed it!!!) The break-up. Now put aside all the images that this statement conjures up for a minute…I’m not crying my heart out…I’m not much given to crying anyway.
Consider now the reactions of other people.
Not too many people to start with since it was a brief liaison and I didn’t talk about it. (which is why we will discount what his friends say, given that he has talked about it). In fact quite a few people in my sample have been made aware only recently of ‘him’ and ‘us’ and the ‘not-us-anymore-status’. Here is what they all had to say:
Friend 1 (female): Awwww…..if I were in
India, I’d take you out to eat lots of chocolate ice-cream. (To which I said, “I ate a lot of that in this past month, with him!” More..”Awww…” and a couple of smiley hugz)
Friend 2 (female, also bestest friend): Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Meet me for lunch this weekend. (And she also called in 12-hour intervals with a “What are you doing? How are you doing?”)
Friend 3 (female): Oh, that was fast! (and then…errr, gulp…sorry) 4 hours later in a quiet tone “Was it very painful?”
And here is what the super-smart studs say:
Bloody male 1: You want commitment in a month????
Bloody male 2: I thought you didn’t like coffee. and after I raged on that…”Okay, don’t fight with me”…and then…”Your blog isn’t interesting anymore since you don’t write about me. I know what you must be writing about now.”
Bloody male 3: Wanna come over to my place tonight?
Bloody male 4: You are so superficial. I rest my case. This man is never going to be seen on this planet.
umm.. u know i had seen his comment on ur blog, the one that started it all i presume, “we should discuss this over coffee or wine or both” or something to tht effect.. as long as u had a fun month.. its all fine in the end.. isn’t it?? or is that too guyish a comment to make?? coz according to my logic, a lifetime of sadness is welcome if it is precluded by moments of utter euphoria, or happiness. If he dint give u tht kind of happiness then.. (wanna bash him up??)
Now, who could these bloody males be! Just you let me know, and I’ll take care of each of ‘em. Esp, the insensitive #1. Grrr…Seriously, what do these dodos think of themselves!
@ Pragni:
His identity is public information now. It was a fun month and more. But no more for now, I suspect I’ll be writing about it for a long time to come.
@ Brad: Want another BIFF on the nose?
@ Brad: LOL!
[...] I’ve written more than one post about him or conversations I’ve had with him. I once referred to him as a Bloody Male on XXFactor. According to Sensorcaine who ‘officially’ introduced us, When you meet him, he’s this pretty normal guy. The weirdness is online. [...]
