tactless

[azurelunatic]

It's probably a poorly-planned move to babble endlessly about the person I love to the ex-girlfriend of same.

She has, of course, no love-feelings for him anymore; that, I know without doubt. She's monogamous and with someone else. So that's not the awkwardness. It's just a remarkable freedom from tact.

I never learned these things. I still don't know the rules. I'm still the stranger/foreigner/outsider.


This is a bad morning.

Well, it depends. IF you tried it and got a bad reaction, don't try it again, but if you haven't tried, you could ask her how she'd feel about it.

I'm mostly monogamous but not jealous, and I sincerely like most of my exes, they just weren't right for me. So I might think it was cute if someone babbled adoringly about one of them, depending on the ex in question. I mean, I don't want to hear anyone say nice things about Scary Stalker Ex, who was sufficiently evil that I dropped all the people who insisted on remaining friends with him, too, when we broke up, not because I'm nasty, but because I wanted him completely outta my life. But if some dear boy were to come up to me and babble adoringly about ikaros, I'd be delighted.

Well, as she's my roommate, and I rattle on about him damn near nonstop, it's a little... well.

She's still regretful about breaking his heart. She was his first girlfriend...

Some days it's fine. Some days it's not. I'm never sure what kind of day it's going to be.

She likes him just fine. They were great friends before they started dating, and they've remained very distant friends after the awkwardness with the breakup, which was a mismatch error rather than a blowup. If he spent more time around here, they'd become closer again, but he's being Mr. Antisocial Busy.
