Just no consideration

It sure does take a break up to realize how some people act! Of course, I was seeing my ex's behaviour through rose coloured relationship glasses, so I really had no idea it was as bad as it was.

Case in point - I'm starting to realize that my ex lacks listening skills. I'm also starting to realize he takes nobody's feelings into consideration except his own. I guess this is obvious in the way he constantly teases everyone, including myself when we dated.

Anyways, I'm in summer school now. I never wanted to take summer school. I would have much rather started my first year in the Fall (even though I'm 27 years old and going back again) because then I could have eased myself into the process, instead of jumping right back into school, after being away from it for nearly 10 years. I got nothing but grief from my ex when I told him I was going back. I mean, he thought it was great, but he didn't exactly like the timeline. "FOUR YEARS??" was all I heard. "Four years, it is going to take you four years to finish? Holy that's a LONG TIME! Well, you can fast track, and take school in the summer, and at night, and be finished in two years, right?"

GRR! The more I think about it the angrier I get! I'm taking summer school because of him. At the time, I got nothing but pressure from him to finish, and I know I should have told him to pound salt, but at the time, I did not. I just did it. I made myself believe that rushing through school was the answer. Of course, he figured that because I was only going to school, my marks should be way up there. What a jerk.

I have blocked him, I will not talk to him or allow him to communicate with me. If by chance he does, I am prepared to tell him to hit the road. I am under so much stress this summer from these classes, and I'm doing very poorly in one, because I can't handle the intensity of it, because it's a crash course.

I won't even get into the fact he can't take no as an answer, and keeps making attempts to contact me (well, he did, until I blocked him)

Grrr.
