PumpkinHead Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I guess this is kind of an evil plan. But I can do this. I am a high end jewelry designer and manufacturer. My Ex works is a jewelry store. Im going to get my jewelry into that store. Nothing else will be said to her during this time. I give myself a year to do this. I don't need to get back together. But satisfaction will be had by her seeing that she has to sell for me. Link to comment
IAmFCA Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Hahahahahahaha I totally get this. Do it. She will claim you in her sales pitch. I know him and his work, he's so good, etc. love it. Link to comment
mustlovedogs Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 ... I hope you're joking. If I worked in a store and my ex's products happened to come in, I would think "huh. What an interesting coincidence." And then I would do my job and go on with my life and probably never think about it every again, ever. Link to comment
mustlovedogs Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 My Ex contacted me a few weeks ago. I hadn't spoken to her in 7 years, except for a couple brief conversations that she initiated. Oh my gosh especially because it's been 7 years Link to comment

It also keeps them linked - or keeps him linked - to her. Probably not good for him. But by a year from now, maybe he will have healed. Maybe she will sell his pieces especially well. They might make a great team in this way. Lol but true. Link to comment
mustlovedogs Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I don't think it's evil as much as childish. But whatever, an 8 year vendetta, enjoy your high end jewelry job being a scorned dude Link to comment
thejigsup Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 if your stuff is any good, she will appreciate the commission and silently thank you. It is nice when exes help each other. She will most likely take her current bf or husband out to dinner with the money or buy him something nice. Link to comment

PumpkinHead Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 I'm a pretty successful designer. I sold in very expensive stores. The real story is that I got into this business to be with her. It didn't quite work to be with her right away. I dedicated a few years to learn the business and I couldn't get it to work out. She contacted me again. It wasn't a good time. But now I can get into the store she works at and make her sell my stuff..lol. However it works out, I'd like her to work for me. Link to comment
HeartGoesOn Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 This appears to contradict the title of your last thread asking, How to open up communication again? Either way, as long as you allow her to rent space in your head, she wins. No offense, but after all of these years, why not let it go? Link to comment
mustlovedogs Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Her selling your designs does not make her work for you. She will still work for that store doing what her boss tells her, which may include selling your designs. But you will be in no way shape or form her boss, her supervisor, or her superior for it. If you ever want a healthy relationship you need to change your mentality (and end this obsession) Link to comment

mustlovedogs Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 My ex gave me my couch. Man, I bet he thinks "she couldn't watch Netflix without me! Everytime she sits, it's because of ME. Go me." Link to comment
thejigsup Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Like i said, she will take her current squeeze out on the town with the money and think you are a chump. Nice. Link to comment

LadyRayne Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 After 7 years really? Why?? Link to comment
greta96 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 You do realize you'd be doing her a favor, right? She would not be working for you, she would just sell it the same way she sells other designers' jewelry with the hope she'd make a profit and enjoy the earnings with whomever is in her life right now. I don't see how that gives you any satisfaction or why, but to each their own I guess. It is however a little scary that you haven't managed to move on from a breakup that occurred so many years ago. For you to still hold the grudge and seek some sort of "devious" revenge is unsettling, because the best revenge would have been for you to be happy and long moved on, with a family of your own and not give your ex a second thought.

Wiseman2 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 But she works for the retailer, not you and she can steer customers Away from your stuff to other merchandise. So in reality she has it over you, unfortunately.. I'd like her to work for me. Link to comment
catfeeder Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 If my designs were all that successful, I'd get greater pleasure from selling them with a competitor. Link to comment
Unscrewed Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I like this site. The heart motivates people to do funny things. Do it! And do come back and tell us how much money you make! Link to comment
