Your Ex vs. The Crazy Stick

You met. You went out. You started seeing each other. You made it exclusive. You dated for "X" amount of time. You noticed that something wasn't exactly right. You tried to work on things. You noticed that things were still not exactly right. You ended the relationship. Enter the crazy stick.

Sometimes, people for which ever reason just have a hard time letting go. We have all been there...some worse than others.

I mentioned in an earlier post that there had been a large amount of drama in my life and my friends lives lately and fortunately enough for you dear reader is, that it has a very funny telling!

A number of weeks ago *Marigold was hit by the 'ginger fever', to which she was quite taken with a gentleman with red hair. He is hot, like Prince Harry hot apparently. They went out a number of times, and things are going altogether well evidently. Then, THE night was upon them. They started making out on his couch after a concerted attempt at watching movies. Things quickly progressed and after some articles of clothing were removed, they relocated into his bedroom. More articles of clothing were removed. A quick conversation ensued to see if this is where they wanted things to progress to. It was, and all systems were a go. Out comes the condom.

Now I have to back up the story here slightly. This ginger Prince Harry look-a-like lives on the main floor, of a gated condo complex from what I was told. To which, the shortest gate is 9.5 feet tall.

Just as things were going to be consummated, there was this incredible banging at the exterior bedroom window, followed by a high pitched screeching. The Prince Harry look-a-likes ex girlfriend had scaled the 9.5 foot fence in order to gain access to his ground floor patio, and was now having a dramatic display in minus 40 degree weather. She had obviously been struck repeatedly with the crazy stick. From what the Prince Harry look-a-like told Marigold, he had broken off that particular relationship more than a year ago, but over the last 5 months the ex had taken to the notion that they were going to get back together and had escalated her crazy-ish behavior.

To compound the situation, Prince Harry l.a.l. leaves Marigold in the bedroom, to not only deal with the crazy ex, but to allow her into his home. To which, he persuades her to leave and come back within the hour so that they could "talk". Marigold listening to this in the bedroom, couldn't believe her ears...he was not only enabling the behavior, but because the crazy lady was coming back, she knew that she had to make a quick exit. Passed over in favor of the crazy one. F*ck her life was all she could think...and then she called me on the way home and we had a fantastic laugh about it! Interestingly enough, Marigold is still seeing this Prince Harry look-a-like. Its nothing serious, but the ex has not made a reappearance much to her delight!

Now, not all ex's turn stalker. A good portion do to some scale though. Text messages, phone calls, emails, social media check ups, the random show up here you just happen to be, flowers and then the old fashioned begging and pleading.

I am going to cut some of these ex's some slack here. A lot of the time, mixed messages/signals are given to them that would lead them to believe that things could be different (please see post addressing that very thing). Having been in that very situation last year myself, I can see both sides. Not that I went crazy, but I was lead to believe that I could have a relationship back.

Currently scientists have not fully mapped the genetic code nor the brain. So, there is no way to definitively predict if someone will go crazy due solely to their genetic makeup. But, if your the one doing the breaking up, please, help a crazy out. Don't call. Don't text. Don't email. Just leave the person be to heal on their own. Do not try to be overly kind, or sympathetic. No mixed messages/signals. Cold turkey baby.

Now, simply cross your fingers and hope that the crazy stick is simply too busy beating another person ex and not yours!

*Marigold is a real person and is NOT me...honest.
