People are capable of horrible things.

The reason they are capable is because they feel justified to do the horrible things they do. Our schemas define how we look at the world and they govern our actions as well. A paranoid, controlling, psychopathic personality like my ex-fiancé, I’m sure, felt totally justified in her actions. Didn’t matter the personal and professional hell she put me through — as long as her needs got met, the ends justified the means.

I also realized recently that she had been seeing someone behind my back, this woman to whom I was engaged. I’m not surprised. Every parasite needs a host. People like her simply cannot exist on their own.

So yeah, breaking up with me in an e-mail was one of the least offensive things she did. I’m not sure it cracks the top 10.

I can be an ass, but I’d also walk through fire for people I care about. In a billion years I would never do to another human being what she did to me. There are rules in war and to violate them is an affront to humanity and to god.

She’ll be judged, in this life or the next, but not by me. She’s someone else’s problem now. And whomever that is, he has my sympathies. That poor bastard will never know what hit him.
