Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I told her to stop contacting me and let me get on with my life.
Protip: Don't go looking for a new relationship. Do you first( love yourself, concentrate on yourself 1st.)..the rest will follow when you are'nt looking.
And get with some of your people and chug down some brews.
Take care of yourself, let yourself be angry, but use this opportunity to pamper and spoil yourself. Don't be afraid to do things alone, but don't sequester yourself away from your friends either. Have fun. Take pictures of yourself having fun. Basically, date yourself for a while - you're hot, you're into you, you're a hoot to be around!
This is totally different. Dan Savage would never condone this sort of post-relationship snooping. Shit is over dude, man the fuck up. Stop scrotum-snooping around (using Dan's new phrase) and either call up your ex and rage at her, or be a man and move on.
Your choice.
Seriously, logging into your ex's journal to check her posts is fucked up.
Fucked. Up.
Not being sarcastic:
NICE.
Pick up a new hobby and get good at it. Drawing, guitar, panflute, etc.
Lay that proverbial smackdown, OP.
I pronounce it bee-log.
And it's cases like this that set a bad precedent. If he hadn't checked, he'd have never found out what she was really like and might have gotten back together with her.
It may have been wrong but he should still be glad he did it.
To be honest, if one of my ex's had a livejournal, I would be curious to see if she mentioned me less and less after a certain point, or she had interests in other guys, or if I had hurt her. She was a big part of his life for a long time, it's only human to be curious and it's quite natural to want to learn something from that text. OP wasn't in the right to use his ex's password to read that information (even if it was accidental), but considering how it happened it's not really that creepy.
You guys act so crazy about things sometimes, you can say "hey, that's wrong" without making someone feel like they're completely insane. Vinegar and honey, and all that.
Did you not read about the whole 'cheating on him with about fifteen different guys and bragging about that shit on the internet' thing?
Yes, what Avicus did is wrong; I'm not defending that. But how about you place the blame directly where it should be and recognize that his now ex-gf is a pretty despicable human being instead of calling
someone a stalker for checking someone's livejournal?
For god's sake you reacted like he was standing over her whilst she slept. Jesus Christ. It's the fucking internet
Cheating on someone multiple times and bragging about it on the internet is objectively worse, and you're a bad person for defending someone with that level of moral decay
A+ man.
Good work and all that, lesser men would've crumbled under the opportunity.
Well done, broseph. It will take some time to put all of this behind you, but you can at least take solace in the fact that you stood up for yourself.
jesus you're pretentious. maybe you should follow vivixenne's lead.
In the future, though, what you did was wrong. Don't use the fact that she was unfaithful be validation for invading her privacy, because it's not. In the end, both of you proved that you are not really trustworthy, though her to a much larger degree. Next time take the high road. Future You is bound to thank you for it.
Nice work on figuring out her lies, as well as telling her you won't be getting back together.
