There is an ex who despite I ignore all messages and phone calls etc over the years, this person still will suddenly write. I don't know why. There was even a text a couple of years ago, a very long time since we broke up that still wished me birthday greetings and, "I love you," even though they are with someone else now. I ignore it all, never responded. To be safe I show all my family and certain friends when a message pops up to be safe because... I don't know, it seems weird.
Myself voice in my brain has always had a love for sledgehammers though I never owned one. I used a sledge once to help demolish a fence for a family friend, but no sledgehammers have been in these hands since. Myself always voices that it is time to grab one when people have harmed or hurt (even their feelings) the one's we love. My family and friends still chuckle when I say, "time to grab the sledgehammer.... where did you say they lived?"
Alas, a year ago I got a friend request on Facebook from the ex. Then later in the year a message request. I have not seen nor written any responses to this person for three years when I realized that they appear to weirdly have an issue of letting go. And it had already been three years since we broke up at that point; we barely spoke or saw one another at that point as well. This was my triad's discussion on the subject:
Myself: that friend notification. What the eff? How does my glowing effing ignorance of their existence constitute a request?
I: I knoooow! Ugh! Pass me the bagel.
Myself: We ignore this too right?
I: Duh! Yes! Why can't we get wonderful people we like and are long lost requesting us?
Myself: I don't understand how ignoring means, "keep trying to make contact."
Me: *swinging sledgehammer* Kill! Kill!
I: That's new! Why are you letting her play with that?
Myself: Don't worry, she'll just wear herself out.
I: ... Or accidentally kill US!!
Myself:... S---! I never thought of that :S
I: And this is why I make the rules! To avoid sudden death!
