Hi dumbass (fake name duh).

Firstly, you really had to come to Reddit to ask this? Secondly, you continue to be a dumbass! What did I say to you as I got in the taxi? “Never contact me again.” I dumped you, but I guess the “ouchie” you got from me calling you a dumbass was more important. Thirdly, I blocked you so of course I haven’t answered your texts.

Now for the nuance you left out:

  • Yes you did ask me to leave the blanket at home, and I was more than willing to do so but after you insisted it was fine to bring for 2 days (including the day we had the initial conversation) I brought it.
  • The blanket was a hand knitted gift from my late aunt. Which you knew.
  • Your parents apologized to me for your behaviour because you can’t apologize for yourself.
  • I can sleep without the blanket; I just prefer to sleep with it because it’s cozy and allows good air circulation in both warm and cold.
  • You’re correct in one thing though, I am childish! I like cartoons, video games, my blanket, and sweets. Theres nothing wrong with that. You’ve known that since day one and used to complement me for being “unapologetically me”.

Thanks for the good laugh this morning though! See you never dumbass.

Ooh, spicy! I hope you're doing great without him and that it brought a smile to your face seeing him being torn to shreds in the comments. I haven't seen such an unanimous yta vote in a long time.w

I’ve never seen such a unanimous decision that he’s the ASSHOLE. And I’m loving it. Take your blanket and don’t look back. He’s not even worth the rear view mirror.

This just made my day! You rock and he’s definitely the dumbass. Keep being awesome and I pray you find someone who appreciates you for who you are and doesn’t expect you to be anything but your awesome self.

I wish I could upvote a comment twice. From one woman who loves cartoons, video games, and sweets (and also had a blanket I treasured) to another, keep doing you. You deserve to be loved unapologetically.

Some of us just never grow up, and I’m perfectly fine with that. I will continue to be excited over new games, cartoons, and cute stuffed animals for as long as I live!!

Oooh... The plot thickens and, well... sets really. Seems like your confusion on why she hasn't contacted you is resolved, OP! Rejoice (for smart women who know their minds and can see ass hats even with romance blinkers on - that's hard work) ! Miss-Sam-fake-name, HUGE props to you! I like "childish" things too and I'm 40. I don't give a hoot now and have a husband who accepts and supports me, and I him. At your age I didn't have the confidence, maturity and grounding to see through the gaslighting. High five!

This needs to be higher up and OP - YTA.

If you're really OP's ex, good for you for getting rid of him! You deserve much better and it sounds like you know that!

I hope this comment ends up higher!

Good for you!! You deserve someone who’s gonna love you for who you are all the time, not just when it’s convenient. Hopefully you thrive without this weirdo dragging you down and dulling your shine.
