I asked him who the person was and they couldn&#8217;t remember, but said I definitely knew him because he lived in the same neighborhood at some point.<br \/>\nI decide to figure out who this person is and he said, &#8220;Well I live on {street}&#8221;\u00a0 INSTANTLY knew who he was talking about. We start chatting and he was surprised to hear that I lived where I did and said, &#8220;Wait&#8230;you&#8217;re not the one I met at the 4th of July party. I would remember you.&#8221;\u00a0 and after about 30 minutes of talking I found out that my ex took someone to a 4th of July celebration in the neighborhood and introduced his girlfriend to everyone.&#8221;\u00a0 I moved out on July 1st.<br \/>\nSo the whole time I was in Ireland and he was talking about how I killed him by &#8220;cheating on him&#8221;\u00a0 (which I did not do) and the month we lived together while I got my apartment where he made me feel like absolute SHIT for what a horrible girlfriend and he already had a new girlfriend waiting.<br \/>\nI swear I give men too much damn credit.<br \/>\nThis man and I were actually laughing at the end because I told him some stuff and he was &#8220;He told us the exact same thing!&#8221; and he said, &#8220;You need to talk to my daughter, she thought something was a bit off about him.&#8221;<br \/>\nSo my advise to you, Gentle Readers is if a man reiterates that he is a &#8220;good man&#8221; or &#8220;not that kind of guy&#8221;\u00a0 to the point of nauseum he is DEFINITLY that kind of guy he&#8217;s disparaging.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a funny thing happen before Christmas break.
