So I got an email from the ex last month. I wasn't really planning on emailing back but I recently found out his sister died, so I decided to send my condolences. Here's some backstory (in case any of you don't know):
My ex is now a woman. Yes that's right. He was a man. Now he's living as a woman. And goes by a seriously crazy name. But I won't post it, just in case. He didn't start his woman thing until about a year after we broke up but still. It's weird. But I'm okay with it. That's his thing and if he's happy, then great for him/her.
In the email I recently received, s/he decided to update me on his/her life. Apparently s/he got a boob job in Guadalajera (god, I know I butchered that spelling) and now works as an exotic dancer. No shit!! Apparently s/he's a lesbian now too. Or something like that. I'm not sure how it all works. S/he still likes girls.
Anyway, I had to share my truly bizarre Valentine's Day story - just to put it all in perspective. Sometimes you just never really know what will make a person happy, ya know?
I wonder if the men who frequent the strip club know he's a she? I mean she's a he? Oh whatever.
Wow, that's crazy! Was it the sort of thing you were surprised by or not so much? What did s/he do for a living when you were together? And I would personally be terrified to get a boob job in Guadalajara!
Oh, I was definitely surprised. I don't think anyone expects their ex-SO to become a member of their own sex. That said, in retrospect I think there were clues. I just didn't comprehend that someone could change sexes (or want to for that matter) so it never occurred to me.
When we were together we were in college so he did nothing then. Quite the pothead/bum back then. Although always got good grades.
I, too, would be terrified to have any type of surgery done in Guadalajara. (Thanks for the correct spelling, btw!) But I suppose I'm a worrier like that.
I so missed this story. Have you told it before? That is a really really really crazy story. It completely solidifies the theory of "you can't make someone else happy" - I mean really, you couldn't, right??? How could you have known?

that is so crazy. it beats any ex story i've ever heard, for sure. i knew someone in school who was going through the process of changing genders (M to F), and she also identified as a lesbian and had a live-in girlfriend. apparently it's pretty common to still like girls.
That is like the weirdest of all weird ex stories. And seriously, who goes to Guadalajara for surgery??? Who wakes up and thinks "Aha! Guadalajara! That's where I'll go to get my boobs done!"
I'm dying to know what name he goes by. If you think the name is totally crazy even for someone that seems a little out there, it's got to be good.
Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee - omg - I remember you once posted something about "beware of the cute little club guy who wears eyeliner, even if it looks good on him..." Well, I guess this is sort of a happy ending, right? He's happy, you're happy, and well, that's good, right?
