I'm [22M] and my ex [21F] hates me. Would you acknowledge your ex's talent even if you hate him?

  1. Sorry to burst your bubble but online critique about a novel doesn't mean shit unless you are published and well reviewed in a variety of sources.

Yeah, when you're developing a novel, all feedbacks are completely useless unless it's reviewed in a magazine. Okay, make sense.

  1. It's pathetic to dedicate your life to prove someone wrong, man. Write an awesome novel because you want to, not because you misguidedly think she will suddenly care about you because you wrote a novel.

Nice of you to assume I didn't already want to write a novel in the first place. Ughhh, I'm so mad at my ex I have to prove her wrong, oh I know! I'll write a novel, something so random and I know nothing about. Writing a novel, best way to get revenge.

My point is, I already had the idea of writing a book before that, getting revenge it's only two birds and one stone.

  1. Get out of here with that sexist "women are more emotional" shit. You have dedicated your life post break up to this lady. You weren't meant to be, it hurt you, such is life. Yet here you are being immature, short sided, obsessive and emotional but acting like women are more emotional. Just.....no.

Women are more emotional than men, and that's stereotype for a reason. Did I say me, an individual, can't be emotional as well, where as other men aren't as bitter as me?

  1. If I was in your ex's situation I would think you are pathetic. You are sadly obsessed with this whole issue. Her not thinking your novel is great is neither her being immature nor bitchy, it's her realising you are oddly obsessed and (most likely) not as great a writer as you think.

Wow, I didn't you know about this situation more than I do. Because apparently, you're talking like you do.

It's like you're assuming I'm just going to message her and be like "Hey bitch, read my novel. And if you don't like it, that's just you being immature and bitchy."

Like I'm not going to start a polite conversation at first, and then ease my way into sending her my novel.

Take the L.
