A Night at the Club Part Deux - The Tables Have Turned!

[brokenglass]

If anyone would like a little background to why I'm posting this, please see here.

 

So, its been a week since this incident at the club last week, where my ex valiantly decided to make a scene and attempt to embarrass me in front of my friends. Since then, we've talked 2 or 3 times. Once last Wednesday, where we had a very wonderful lunch with our son, sans her decision to tell me some man is flying her to Europe and is "only a friend." We also spoke briefly on Mothers Day when I had her mother give her a card I bought, which she thanked me for, and then proceeded to be pissy with me because I didn't keep our son all day on MOTHERS DAY. I ignored her once she got pissy. And then we spoke again Monday night, visiting my son and as far as I am aware, that was one of the one nights where she hasn't deliberately tried to tell me something to try to frustrate me or make me jealous.

 

Just when I thought that trend was over, enter Tuesday evening.

 

I get to the club early, and after doing some band favors get inside and get my drink on. I'm having a great time. There are beautiful women flirting with me, I'm surrounded by friends, it was wonderful. I knew the ex was coming from the night before and prepped myself for that.

 

Later on, its a packed house. I am mingling, trying to feel the room and there she is, looking absolutely f**king amazing in a brand new skirt she bought. First thing I do? I walk up to her, smile, kiss her on the cheek and hug her, then offer to buy her a drink, which she accepts with a smile on her face. The conversation starts off with a bang, we're smiling and laughing and its going well. She then asks me to go outside and smoke with her, so I do.

 

Well, this is where the night begins to get interesting.

 

Again, we're having great conversation and all is going VERY well. Then she leans to me and goes "oh I forgot to tell you, I'm going on Mirena. Its normally $600 but I'm getting it for free."

 

...

 

 

If there are some of you that aren't aware of what Mirena is, its birth control.

 

Ok so, yeah, I pretty much know you're opening your legs for whomever you want to. You told me that over a month ago and probably shouldn't have been mentioned then. But it was, and I know. If we're friends, there's no reason to rub the dirt in my face more right? Apparently not.

 

So, my mind immediately comes to a mental crossroads, and I chose to take the high route. The route that, I know if I get through this moment, I will be awarded tenfold something in return. I looked away towards the volleyball game being played and simply said "thats cool, good for you" and left it at that. She kept babbling on about something but I don't remember, I wasn't paying any attention at that point. Once the back door was open again, I went to get another beer and ran back outside to see my buddies and mingle a bit more (where she followed me to, nonetheless).

 

My friends are telling me to maintain composure, I'm doing well, etc., and I am maintaining. I'm having a good time, I acknowledge my feelings for her and my plan and goals, and continue to go with the flow. Then the music starts playing.

 

I immediately get in the front of the stage and wait. I see my ex is texting away again on her phone, so I text her to come up front with me, which she actually does this time! We were having an absolute great time, standing there together, watching our friends play some great music, I was happy. She looked uncomfortable, but having fun.

 

That is, until those three really hot women came up to the front with me They start rubbing all up on my back, rubbing their chests on me, dancing, talking to me, I'm talking to them, dancing with the girls, and completely turn my back to my ex. Shes my ex right? I'm SINGLE. There are THREE good looking girls dancing with me and talking it up with me. THREE!!! So I flow with it.

 

About 5 minutes later, my ex taps me on the shoulder and says shes leaving.

 

LOL

 

I could smell the jealously 100,000 miles away. Whats wrong? Can't handle seeing THREE girls want to get to know me a little bit more?

 

It turns out these girls worked for a local strip club and were passing out free passes. They were less interested in me and more interested in me spending money at their club, which is fine (and something I might end up doing), but on the surface, it seemed these three girls were interested in the band's cute, sexy friend with the northern accent. And it appeared my ex couldn't handle that.

 

The rest of the night went absolutely fantastic, and I made it a point to have an absolute good time, feel gratitude for what I was experiencing and feel good about me and my life. And it was good.

 

So, whereas last week, I was tested. The whole week I was tested and I persevered, I kept my head up, I stayed the course, I continue on the path, kept my back straight and my spirits high. And I truly feel that I was rewarded with the satisfaction that, if she was truly over me like she says she is, she would have been happy to see me thin, healthy, mingling with ladies and over her. But she clearly could not handle seeing me being single.

 

Well, if thats the case. We need to chat. But I don't expect that conversation to happen for quite a while.
