The jist of our conversations was "Do you know why Hillary dumped me? She talks about you in her livejournal as 'oil baron' so I think it has something to do with us being Facebook friends."
It didn't escape my attention that while I -- someone whom I thought you had a meaningful and long-term friendship with -- was among the 60% who got dumped, he -- someone you met on okcupid and who I know from experience can be a good friend only to his cats and the Jameson corporation -- remained at least an active Facebook friend, if not a closer contact.
So yes, that mystified me and hurt my feelings immensely. I've been dumped by plenty of boys via being ignored, and have always argued it is the cruelest way to be dumped because what do you have besides your own worst conclusions? Once someone has cut you off completely, all you can do is be like, why do I deserve this? Am I too ugly? Too trashy? And having had more than my share of mental breakdowns, my answers to that question are always the meanest.
I would have just liked for something saying, "I'm going through a hard time right now." You never responded to anything I ever said, and yes that bothered me and made me defensive. Talking to TOB about you was kind of fishing for information about why you dumped me and not him -- miles from photocopying your journal and handing it around. Don't pretend I'm the mean girl here when I would totally have understood if you would have been up front about what was going on.
