Cut the crap and tell me that we're through

It appears that the Not-Ex has finally removed me from their friends list on Facebook. I had never gone through with this myself, as the last time I did and they commented on something (or something, can no longer remember the situation) they went 'oh, lol, I thought I'd added you before. Weird, huh?' And I claimed I'd been going to a f-list clean up and had 'accidentally' removed them.

But...they finally removed me. I have no idea when this happened. I was playing one of the games and going into the 'invite your friends!' thing (I rarely do this) and noticed they were no longer there.

Is it weird that this is such a relief? But it is. If they had done things like this, oh, THREE YEARS AGO...it would have hurt at the time, but I could have gotten over it. Instead of having that long, drawn out thing we were doing that kept socking me in the gut. I realize it's probably really sad that this is the closure I needed. But I did. I needed them to say, in words or action, that it was over. Not 'oh, I'm not in a place for this right now, BUT we can still blahblahblah', or 'oh, sorry I did X. Things are crazy. I'd hate me too. Sorry, I won't do it again'--and then doing it again in six months. They needed to say, without any qualifications or exceptions, that it was over.

And they did and it is. If we were still talking, I would tell them thank you.
