When He Left, He Left Some Crap Behind
I love discovering cool stuff and sharing it with you. Here’s a fun site for you to check out, and you might find it useful as well:
“Stuff That’s Left Behind is a blog all about the things we find ourselves stuck with when a relationship ends. You know the stuff we’re talking about – it’s either staring you in the face right now or buried somewhere at the back of a closet because you just didn’t want to deal with it. So, what’s that item for you? What’s the story behind it? Does it make you laugh? Cry? Does it annoy you every time you see it or make you smile just a little despite the way it all ended? Maybe it’s an old sweater of his that you couldn’t bring yourself to toss or a copy of her favorite book, the one she gave you right before dumping you for your best friend. Whatever it is, we want to hear the story and see a picture. Get it off your chest and let the rest of the world know they’re not alone. Going through a break up is never easy, but telling the world about it is super fun!”
Stuff That’s Left Behind grew out of its sister site, Ex-Boyfriend Jewelry, whose motto is: “You don’t want it. He can’t have it back.” There you can unload that ugly pair of earrings he bought you for your birthday, or heaven forbid, the diamond ring.
Here are some recent entries that I got a kick out of:
- Money and Ashes
After 11 years of marriage to a man I discovered was a total idiot, we split up. I actually found him one night at my girlfriend’s house – I walked into her house to find them making out. Anyway, he would do idiot things to irritate me. His favorite was vacuuming in the middle of the night, knowing full well that it would keep me awake and result in a bit of drama. We were split up for 4 years before I finally filed for divorce (I was able to stay on his health insurance during the split. I figured he owed me something for all the crap he put me through).
The divorce was days from being final, and he died. I got the life insurance money, all his stuff – car, furniture, etc… and his ashes after I decided to have him cremated. I donated his stuff to charity and instead of a funeral, I had some friends over for a “vacuum party”. Yep, I vacuumed those ashes!!!
- Once a pig, always a pig…
i had a boyfriend about a year ago, and around christmas he went shopping with my best girlfriend to pick me out a present with her help. well, they went into this hello kitty store and he decided to buy me a gigantic, stuffed pig. god knows why he would spend $80 on a stuffed animal, but i loved it nonetheless. that is until the 8th time he cheated on me and i realized the symbolism behind his buying me a pig of all animals.
- THE diamond necklace
I started dating my best friend’s brother… we had been dating 3 months on valentines and he surprised me with a diamond necklace… but is was really not my type at all, yes yes it was diamond but it was like one of those trail of diamonds and totally not my type. You don’t understand, I am FAR from romantic, wasn’t in love, annoyed by him, stressed out and not in the mood for a diamond necklace… poor guy…
Later he told me it was really his sister’s (my best friend) necklace but she couldn’t enjoy it because she didn’t have a guy to share it with. A week later he told me he loved me, I said “kudos’s” and a week later… i broke his heart :X sorry dude.
