Don't be a bitch.
Not only is it not classy but you won't win and you may end up with real muck on your face.
Need further proof?
A friend of mine hooked up with his ex-girlfriend 5 months ago, just a few weeks before he went on deployment to Afghanistan.
Background?
Having being dumped by her long-term boyfriend for more or less further bitchy behaviour, this piece of work decided to get some attention from our unsuspecting upcoming war hero.
He fell for it.
She thought she could rest on her previous charms.
Problem was, she was no longer that charming. And her lack of attention and support for our hero was abhorrent and unintelligent.
Her contact with him was clearly always only when she needed some attention herself.
Her cat and mouse antics were childish and sloppy.
And disgustingly self-centred.
She probably thought she would get away with it.
What she didn't count on was her competition.
Someone who was more charming and definitely more than prepared to lavish the man in question with attention.
And care packages.
And daily emails enquiring about his well-being.
And whom more importantly just liked him for who he is and not what he could offer or represent.
Today he flies home a little different to how he left, somewhat wiser I gather but more importantly, not hopeful about a chance with the spoilt, tacky, witch.
The ex stays an ex.
Moral of the story?
You never, ever know who is looming in the background ready to be more charming and less bitch.
