"I've just been too lazy to take it down," was his excuse.
For months now she has been staring blatantly at you in the face almost mockingly thinking, "Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm up here and you're not!" She had the perfect faux tan and long black hair. Her eye makeup was overly done which you could only find on porn stars. She had an athletic build and his arm around her. It was obvious who she was in that picture frame- the ex-girlfriend.
The first time I saw it I had my suspicions but didn't say anything. I decided to bite my tongue and wait. Weeks later it was still hanging up on his wall, taunting me. Who is this girl that he felt was significant enough to be framed on his wall? Really, I'm not all that jealous.
That's a lie. I actually am.
"Who's the girl in the picture?" I unashamedly asked.
"That's just my ex-girlfriend" he responded oh so nonchalantly.
Ya, that's what I thought.
It's been a year and a half since the break up. You would think by now the picture would have come down already. The only thing worse than an ex girlfriend is an ex girlfriend who is still in the picture- literally. Who would want to be constantly reminded of a failed relationship? I'll tell you- a masochist that's who. Or if you're a hopeless romantic, like I'm not, it could be possible that he's still hung up on her.
So your boyfriend "thinks" he's over his ex-girlfriend yet you're not quite convinced, especially with the accumulating evidence that you keep finding. It starts with the random pictures hidden in the drawer that you accidentally find or an email you stumble upon. You come across really unusual things that you know just shouldn't belong there such as her class schedule, a journal that she kept for him, old cards, or love notes. There are even some of her clothes hidden in the back of his drawer. It's one thing to keep memorabilia stashed away in a box up in your closet, under your bed, or even buried somewhere in your back yard. It's another thing to have it lying around your apartment where it's visible for your current girlfriend to see. To make matters worse "the ex" is still calling on a weekly basis. What's more disturbing is that he's still taking her phone calls. What's even weirder is that all he does is talk about how much he hates talking to her. It doesn't make sense.
