Ok, me and my exboyfriend broke up about 3 months ago. We went out for about 6 months and he was literally in love with me, or as close as it gets anyway. I broke up with him and he wanted us to still be friends and he was really depressed and stuff. Eventually, no one at fault, we just drifted away and he started hating my guts for no reason. So, the other day I was on myspace and I decided to message him to appologize for whatever I did that made him hate me. Then, just today, I found out he got a new girlfriend. He told her about it and she's threatened to kick my ass and he's laughing at me and the whole school thinks I was pathetic enough to come crawling back and try to break him and her up, which I wasn't! And no one believes me, probably because I just broke up wit my current boyfriend. I have absolutely NO feelings for my ex, I was just thinking about how good of a friend he was and that it would be cool to be like that again, but now basically the whole school is bugging me about it. His girlfriend is actually on probation for beating up another girl and i'm terrified. I didn't mean for any of this to happen, and I feel horrible and guilty and terrible! What should I do??? Please help!!!

Tell people your story, but only if they ask. There's really no problem when it comes to people bugging you about it, it's just gossip, people will get over it within a week, most likely. As for his girlfriend, try to arrange to talk to the both of them together, in a public place (like school), and tell them in a civilized manner that you meant nothing by the message other than you would like to retain the friendship with your ex. If the girl sees it as a problem and your ex doesn't want to be friends, just let it go. Obviously, he doesn't want to be friends.

If someone were to ask me about the whole situation I would not even give them the satisfaction of telling them about it. Just let them believe what they want. Telling them what they want to hear won't do anything any way. And as for the girl; I doubt she'll seriously even do anything. Odviously you ex is trying to make yuo jealous. He sounds like a total fat head. It's not your fault. Your probably a very attractive girl and have a lot of guys after you, and he's probably miserable and trying to make you mad so your not happy. If she does touch you in anyway, tell an adult right away, but like I said before, I doubt she'll really do anything. I had an ex who was so upset when I broke up with him, he took his brother's car, went for a joy ride, and almost killed some people. She probably learned her lesson if she was really in juvy before.

If someone wont let you off the hook about it, simply tell them that you aren't intertested in him at all, and you are sorry that people have got that idea. Nothing else.
If you stop feeding into it, people will stop being such dinks. You can't change what they think, but you can change how much you let it bother you.
If the girlfriend approaches you or threatens you in any way, go to the principal.
You have no reason to feel guilty. You were only trying to be friendly, but your ex wanted to start drama. The only thing you can do is refuse to talk about and wait for the drama to die down... I promise it will. Soon you'll have a whole summer for people to find new nasty things to talk about. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
