Today, I'm thoroughly convinced that my ex is lying about being in new relationships so she can burrow her way into my head/get my attention. Only problem is, we're in the same social circle, and if I call her on it, I'll look like a jealous idiot and my friends won't back me up. I just want these games to end. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, after I found out that my new partner was messaging her ex, and she hid it from me, lied about it, and made out I was seeing things, we got over it, because after all I thought it was an innocent enough explanation and I believed her, she has now been doing it again with another ex. FML
Today, I got in an argument with an ex-girlfriend who kept tactlessly bragging to me about her new boyfriend. I told her to read what she'd sent me, then pretend her boyfriend was telling her that. Fifteen minutes later, her boyfriend calls me, yelling for making her feel sad. FML
Today, my ex, whom I dumped in 2024 because she stopped caring about me or what I did, is stalking online someone I have just started dating. She went to her workplace, then called me to tell me I'm hers and she will never let "the other woman" take me from her. Not sure if I like the indifferent one or the jealous psycho less. FML
Today, my ex had a freakout because she found out I have a new girlfriend. She doesn't want me back or anything, she herself has a new boyfriend. Her issue is she just doesn't want to see me happy with someone else. Apparently, I'm supposed to just stop existing now that she's done with me. FML
Today, my ex-girlfriend started dating the guy she told me not to worry about when we dated. FML
Today, my cheating ex is telling everyone she knows that I'm a stalker, abuser, and manipulator. I was always there for her and was trying to talk to her. The other guy was the guy she lost her V-card to in high school. He deals drugs, and beat his ex, even her back in the day. She has nothing but praise for him. FML
Today, my ex is calling everyone I know, telling them I ruined her life. I'm not built for serious relationships, I was very open with her about that, the moment stuff gets serious I freak out, yet she chased me at every stage, then blamed me when I couldn't handle her demands for serious commitment, and left. FML
Today, I kicked my partner of 8 years out after confirming she was indeed going speed dating while keeping me occupied, going to couples' therapy, and doing work on our rental property. All a ruse. She's a tricky one, my EX missus. Nah bitch, nah. Take the lies elsewhere and we're flushing all these years. FML
Today, the friend who I'm crushing on but doesn't like me like that back said she wants us to keep our distance AND got angry because I told her I joined a dating app. Now she thinks I lied about my feelings. FML
Today, my ex called me up to suggest that we become friends, only so that she could introduce me to her new boyfriend. FML

The only way to deal with that shit is to completely blank it. Carry on with your life and just blot it out. It's the worst thing you can do to people who like to play games. What does it matter if she's screwing someone else? You two are done so it's no longer your Circus or your monkeys. Go find yourself a good rebound and move on. It'll piss her off more than anything else you could do. If, on the slight off chance, you're reading into things that aren't actually there, this approach also works. Go forth, get pissed, get laid and get on with your life. Best revenge out there.

So move on and find someone new. That way you can tell her you have a SO and need to give them your attention. Let her learn from you and finish moving on.

Dude, just start being super excited when they bring up a new person. You know it's a game, so start playing. "I'm so excited for you, have you got any holidays lined up? I can recommend an amazing restaurant you guys should try"... etc. Once they think you want them to be with someone else, they often lose interest in torturing you.

Why do you care who they brings or dates? Just move on, don't ignore it, make it not matter to you. If they have someone great be happy for them. If they lie, well, the joke is on them
