Yeah, so, I recently learned that my soon-to-be ex-husband and my ex-friend/his mistress read my blog.
Why are they reading it? I have no idea.
“Hey, we did this really shitty, hurtful thing to someone. I can’t wait to read about how shitty and hurtful it was.“
Imagine doing what they did and then taking the time to go to my blog and read about how much it hurt me, AND THEN thinking you’re the victim.
“I know we cheated on our spouses and destroyed two families, but what about meeeeeee and my feeeeeeeelings.”
Seriously, you won. You get to be together. You lied to two people who really loved you and broke their hearts. And 10 points to Slytherin (which I assume is your house) because your spouses, who did nothing wrong, only get to see their child 50% of the time now. Good job. Really. I’m sure it’s true love, and it will work out great for you, and it won’t end when one of you does the same exact thing to the other. That never happens.
So, yeah, I’ve blocked them on all social media channels because they’re not my friends. I don’t want to see their photos or read their tweets, and they can’t see mine. But I can’t control who reads this blog, so if they want to read it they can. This brings me back to my original question: Why?
If they had a blog I wouldn’t read it, because I don’t need to know what they’re doing or how they’re feeling. Are they reading it because maybe their friends read it, and now their friends know the truth? Well, I’d ask why they weren’t being honest with their friends in the first place. And then I’d wonder if they were being honest with themselves. I suspect the answer is no. I believe it was the genius poet Lizzo who said, “Truth hurts.”
Knowing that they’re reading it isn’t going to stop me from writing about whatever I want or need to write. This blog is for me. It’s not for them. You don’t like it, don’t read it. And as a friend recently told me, “The high road can get fucked.”

It just means they don’t really have a life. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Never let your son know that his father is an ass. Having said that VENT ON!!!!! we are here to agree with you. Write his name on the bottom of your shoe. When it wears off, write it again. Keep doing it until you can’t remember how to spell his name.

I never talk about my ex in a bad way in front of my son. Hopefully, he extends me the same courtesy.

You might be able to block their IPs? Not sure though.
