Hello Table,
So I know when you see this word I bet a lot of people go through your head. I mean we all know someone who is bitter. Whether its from a personal relationship, money, family, or even work we all know someone who is harboring some resentment about something. I’m going to specifically focus on personal relationships and share my aspects of it. Now if this is you please don’t get upset just get better, but this is not about anyone in particular, just the way I see things. Let’s start with a question, if you ask for a divorce from someone are you allowed to later be upset if they re-marry?
Well my answer of course would be no. I mean why should you be upset, you clearly have outgrown the person or you wouldn’t have asked for a divorce, right? Well that leads to question number two: If a person male or female continues to try and stay relevant in their ex’s life are they being bitter? Hmm, that’s a good question table and I say yes. Well why?
Before I answer that question let’s define bitter. One definition for bitter means to be angry, hurt, or resentful because of one’s bad experiences or a sense of unjust treatment. So why yes? Well based on the definition the other party feels some sort of way about the past relationship. They may feel that you’re treating the new relationship better than you treated when you were with them. They may feel that you should have done more in the relationship than you did. Maybe, just maybe it’s because they were not happy with themselves in the relationship. I’m not saying this is the case every time but if you find yourself still trying to cause the ex some harm or trying to make their life a living hell than you could be bitter. So the question you should ask yourself is why?
Your ex is your ex for a reason. Leave them in the past especially if you have supposedly moved on and they have too. If you’re truly happy than you wouldn’t be concerned with what’s going on in their life. Not to mention I’m pretty sure that bitterness will not get you closer to heaven, but hey this is my aspect of it. You do what you want! Well table what do you think? I welcome any comments or feedback. I also welcome any stories you may have, but keep it respectful. See you at the table!
