Am I an asshole for not wanting to talk to my ex I was with for 12 years who I have no children with?

Am I an asshole for getting pissed off when she starts to text me when she is drunk and telling me about this "great guy" she has been seeing for a few months after only 2 weeks ago she asked me...

@ainoa Thank you miss ❤. Also,  In Flames lyrics have a way of hitting me right in the chest along with the driving melody.

Little did my younger self know that this was better for me. I needed to hurt, it was to learn. Part of me knew that back then but I refused to see. I blamed a lot on her because I was unable to see. About 4 years after this rant she told me I made the right choice. Still doesnt make it feel any better but I learned that showing regret or hurt actually harms others more than it helps. People respect an apathetic honest asshole more than emotional honesty and I am finally starting to understand why. Would you rather the captain of a sinking ship apologize or would you rather they honestly tell you that we are going to die and it is their fault? I think I would rather have the shitty honesty over the meaningless comfort. I mean unless I am about to die......lie to me like I am about to get on the short bus in that case. The helmet is more a placebo at that point but hey, we have our own story.

Trainwreck

But honestly the big one on the horizon is Star Wars and I have yet to see The...

I Agree with the horror part :(

@ainoa the only good thing on the horizon I've seen for horror is Ash vs Evil Dead which is a TV series and I don't know if I would even call that horror as much as a dark comedy. But at least it has everyone returning for it and it will be violent. We always have the old classics so turn that frown upside down :)

I may have shared a picture of this before but deleted it.

For quite a few years I would try to lose track of this and would keep it hidden so it wouldn't remind me of that night. I realized just last December that in doing that I was giving that night power over me which was approaching a decade and it needed to be...

My older production sucked but the ideas and things I reached for still make me want to try again.
