My Ex and Whys, the Sequel

The Madonna Whore Complex, I Was the Madonna, He Was the Whore

Because not seeing the penguins wasn’t enough

A few nights ago, after another all-nighter of writing stories about Bill Gates and Elon Musk, I decided to watch a movie on Netflix. With all the coffee I drank throughout the day, my eyes were as wide as an owl’s eyes.

What to watch, I asked myself.

Something light, I probably wouldn’t finish it halfway through. I decided to watch My Ex and Whys, and not only did I finish the movie it brought back to life a repressed memory too painful to remember.

Are you with me? Do you think of your exes, or do you believe in TOTGA, ‘The One That Got Away?’ And do you believe in giving your exes a second chance? Do you still need to be paying $29.95 for Grammarly?

I did it all, even after I didn’t see the penguins.

Like any past love, it was good until it wasn’t. We were the perfect couple on the ship.

If there’s a yearbook on the ship, we would be voted the couple most likely to live happily ever after, or as the cruise line’s tagline says, ‘escaped completely.’

And the Democrats would have loved us, the interracial gay couple.

When did our love go south?

I can’t remember how it happened. A relationship doesn’t go south in a day, but one has to be blind not to see what was happening and I know I’m not blameless.

The sex was good in the beginning. But I transformed not into a dancing queen but a textbook example of the Madonna-Whore complex.

I become the good and chaste, far from the bad and promiscuous single gay man who I am when I’m single.

It is never intentional but as soon as I’m in a relationship I turn into a nun who lives a life of servitude.

I’m not saying I shun away from sex, but instead of blow jobs, I would cook for you or wash your feet.

While I take responsibility for myself, I can only take so much of his lies, it wasn’t much about me being the Ice Queen, but it was more about him being for a lack of a better word a ’whore.’

And I have no issues with him being one. Hey, I had my days of being a whore.

My ex remains a whore to this day, he still manages to have weekly debauchery even if in a few more years he would get discounts as a senior citizen in Australia.

Eleganza Extravaganza

As it turned out that when we were not together, he would have made Mama Ru proud, not only did he ‘didn’t f*ck it up,’ he was always f*cking Asian men.

You see my ex had a thing about Asian men, later I would find out that he thought I was a Thai guy, well sorry, but I’m not.

While I would avoid any contact with any cute guy on the ship, he would make himself available to all the Asian gay men on the ship.

His bottom was years ahead of the coronavirus, he wanted it to be passed around, inoculated with a pointed needle.

I think he had a thing for science, he wanted his bottom to be known as the black hole, well in my book, he will always be an a*shole.

Call it intuition but later I had these strange feelings about his stories. There was one time, when he passed out in Vancouver little did I know that it wasn’t on the street as he first told me of the 911 incident.

He passed out while inside a gay bathhouse in Davis St. in the company of three Asian naked guys.

And when the doctor at the ER resuscitated him, they found out what was in his mouth wasn’t vomit.

All these stories he told me himself.

But I can’t forget the day I hacked his email, when you’re desperate to find out the truth you become the ugly person you never knew you could become.

In one of the emails, he sent his Thai boy lover, he said how bad the sex he was having with me was, and not only did he have no love left for me, but he only feels sorry for me.

In the movie My Ex and Whys, Calista played by Filipino actress Liza Sebarano had this to say to her ex in the movie, which became a viral meme.

Just like her, I asked my ex if I’m ugly and that is why he was fooling around, but like all victims of infidelity, lies, and gaslighting it was never my fault, nor was it because I wasn’t giving him some Thai gay sex.

It was all about him.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Where such men love, they have no desire and where they desire, they cannot love. — Sigmund Freud

To all the men or women, CIS or Binary, some deserve a second chance, but many do not.

Never allow yourself to be the victim, and learn to forgive yourself.
