mood: apathetic, a bit miffed, frustrated with some people

ok. i woke up with a call from my bestfriend. he was forwarding a text from my Ex warning me about people spreading malicious rumors. i have decided to take legal action. yes, i will file a case. i'm just settling everything. i have people to back me up.

i confronted my ex online. i'm frustrated. read on if you're interested... it's pretty long

ME: look, if you have something to tell me, tell me straight. don't course it through other people. you have to make the first move this time.

MY-EX: well basically...people are warning me about you that you have not so good plans against me or whoever....and that with the situation with you and mabs...which i don't mind at all...but they do....i'm just saying be cautious lang of what other people might do...just trying to watch your back...i'm still hesitant to talk to you...that's why i don't go to you directly

ME: i need the information as to who these things are coming from. kevin is one source. i am filing a court case against them. i am counting on you to prove your friendship to me this time.

MY-EX: do you really have to resort to this? there must be some other way

ME: no other way. i figured as much. you're always trying to be a diplomat. you have failed this test this time

MY-EX: i can’t act entirely to your request if i have no clear conscience doing it...i just think this is too much

ME: you can, you just don't want to. i'm sorry, but you have failed to earn my trust again this time. i know you

*a few minutes later*

ME: you're still living in your dreamworld, i see.

*a few more minutes later*

ME: look, i know i've been harsh. i still am. it's just that i want this to stop and this is the only way. i don't understand why you insist on being friends with people who will harm you in the end. You, of all people should know that i never lie. i don't like lies. you have hurt me more now than you have in the past and i'm concerned that you will be hurting yourself in the future, too.

MY-EX : I just don't want conflict anymore....I've been so wearied these past few months...so many things happening all at the same time

ME: conflict is happening because you're taking a back seat. can't you see that? these things are happening because no one has been doing anything. i've been keeping silent the past few months, but see where it's led

ME: be honest. do you think i am lying?

MY-EX: I didn't think you were lying....besides, you don't know the details to the issues yet to deny or affirm anything

ME: then give me details

MY-EX: the only thing that got to me...you wanted revenge against me...that's what someone told me. the others...maybe just fluff. is that true?

ME: revenge for what?

MY-EX: i don't know...for hurting you?

ME: is there anything you have done to me that merits a vengeful action?

MY-EX: nope

ME: i'm not like that. i may be unforgiving but i am not vengeful.

MY-EX: the truth is....i didn't believe it. in fact i told these people...it's impossible

ME: let me know who these people are. at least tell them to tell me to my face if they have anything against me. this is so stupid. they're all backbiting me

MY-EX: i don't wanna add fuel to the fire....i'll defend you if i have to...but i won't take unnecessary actions

ME: i can fight my own battles. i want you to tell me who those people are. it's the only way this will end. the time for being quiet has passed. it's time to be confrontational now. that's the least you could do

MY-EX: what's the point...this will not end by fighting....those who live by the sword shall die by the sword. usually, lies die down...don't take them seriously anymore

ME: there you go again with your biblical comments. don't preach to me. it's not personal anymore. it's harming my business and i have to take legal action. these people do not stop when you keep quiet. these are the type of people who will kick a man when he's down

ME: i'm giving you a chance

ME: don't throw it away

*conversation ended*

yes, i was a prick in the end, but it was the test that i wanted him to pass. i still love my ex, the way one would love people in their pasts. i wish he would just take a stand instead of being apathetic to the point that the pain other people cause has made him numb already.
