I recently cut ties with my ex after she threatened stalking charges

Sounds like a good call.

go figure a thread started by a female about cutting someone off....you creatures can't get away from drama, ya'll feed on it and need it

i cut out a friend. he got arrested for beating up his wife. And I helped out when he was dealing with the legal shite, i.e. I drove him to jail. but I cut him off after he got his life put back together.

he hasn't quite figured it out, and calls me. We have common friends, and do see each other randomly socially.

I actually saw him last weekend, it was beyond awkward. he looked horrible.

My best friend growing up cut me off and I was completely fine with it. We were extremely tight growing up, almost like brothers and he was a normal fun loving guy and we shared a lot of memories together like golf, hunting, lsu games etc.

When we lived together in college he meet this real crazy religious Pentecostal chick and he changed 180 degrees to match her. He first started getting on me for watching tv, next he started in on that I smoked pot sometimes. He never missed a chance to tell me what I was doing was wrong according to his new religion. The only reason I tried to stay friends with him was because I looked at him like a brother.

I finally broke down one day and told him straight up that I didn't believe in his religion or his god and we had it out and told me I wasn't living in the light of his lord, and that was the end of it. We never spoke again.

He married that girl a few months later, and she cheated on him within the year. Last I heard he's living in rural La is on his third wife (he cheated on the second one with the third from church) has kids he dosent speak with or pay child support for, but he is still huge in his church. I guess the light of his lord is a funny one that he lives in.

This is where I am at with my mother. I had not spoken to her in months until she contacted me yesterday to just bitch about me. Not to say hey or anything. And all via text. When I tried to call her to talk she ignored 3 of my calls. Crazy bitch.

Are you my sister in law?

Could not describe my mother in law any better if you were. We are to the point where we are cordial at gatherings, but try to avoid at all costs.

This thread has really helped me.

Ok that's funny right there.

Is your friends name Stannis?

I have family on my mother's side that I don't acknowledge as my family (super white trash). I was never really close with them in the first place, so it's not like I cut them off. I just came to a point that I don't even really refer to them as aunt's, uncles, and cousins any more. They're just people who exist to me.

I had a friend that I grew up with (we were the best men in each others weddings) that cut me out over something (not drugs, gambling, etc.) he thought I was doing (wasn't) and that had absolutely nothing to do with him. Basically, the dude was ignorant and went all holier than thou.

That was 1996 and I haven't spoken to him since. The only contact attempted (other than some phone calls that he never returned) was a lame @ss "linked in" request he sent me somewhere around 2010/2011.
After almost fifteen (15) years - uh, no thanks.

While I've cut people (usually over money or lack of respect) and been cut out too, I've learned that life is too short to waste your time with folks that don't value, don't respect or think they are better than you.
