This post was in Chicago Craigslist on 03/29/2008 under “women seeking men”. The actual title of the post was “Breakup Lesson #1 – Don’t f*ck with someone who has naked pics of you”. The author writes of intense love, intense hurt, and American life. The post begins (edited for clarity and brevity):
Six years!!!
Six motherf*cking years!!!
What the hell???
I had always figured we’d work it out.!!!
I chalked up your alcoholism, selfishness, infidelity, lying, and depression to personality quirks that would work themselves out as you matured, despite the obvious contention that you had four years on me. I genuinely loved you and, despite everything, I know you loved me too. I think I’ve learned that, while you can’t control who you love, you sure as hell can control whether or not you allow yourself to stay with them.
But six years, kid!!!
That’s really what pisses me off the most.
And we’re not talking just any six years.
19 – 25.
(Seneca – He goes on to talk about the hotties he could have had.)
Where is your character?
You’re coming up fast on 30…..
You still drink until you pass out on the weekends. Your writing has been suffering and quickly sliding downhill for nearly two years now. You haven’t been published in 6 months. You’re starting to look weathered and rapidly approaching the stereotypical “bar whore” look. Honestly, I’m not saying this to hurt you.
Granted I’m pissed!!!
I really am!!!
IN MY F*CKING BED???
Seriously?
You have your own f*cking place!
What was it, for the thrill?
And then you have the nerve to call me an animal when I take a few swings at the guy after he threatens me in my own home? I bet he didn’t seem quite so sexy laying on the floor of my bedroom, crying about calling the police while holding his broken nose.
Nice choice in men! Gives me a reason to do some self-reflection. And you wonder why I would never f*ck you without a condom….
This life you’ve chosen - it’s beyond destructive. And I feel sorry for you. I truly hope you get it together one day.
You’re talented, beautiful, and deep, deep, deep, deep down…..somewhat of a decent person.
But as for us???
Not a chance!!!
(Seneca – He makes friend and property demands, then…)
Because, despite all the craziness, we were extremely compatible in the bedroom. And hell, dare I go out on a limb and admit that maybe you were even just a tad kinkier than me? No doubt your subconscious recognized the fact that I was the more trustworthy of the two, and hence the logic behind myself being the “keeper” of our visual record of our bedroom activities - thousands of them.
Oddly enough, most of them are of you or of the two of us. I’m the one more comfortable with my body. I could give a shit if one of your friends sees my my cock or my ass. Hell, if I get drunk enough one night, they might just see it anyway! I know Amy has been bugging you for a threesome for years. Something tells me she might just be a phone call away!!!
(Seneca – More demands and evidence of his hurt, then…….)
Good luck to you kid.
Hope you get it together.
Seneca adds:
Good luck to you, my brother.
May your wounds be healed.
