Hey there, reader. It’s Heather here, the creator of ThingsMyExSaid. Some of you have maybe noticed some serious cartoon silence on my end here over the past few months. It wasn’t you, it was me. And I’m still taking some time. But I wanted to reach out and let you guys know some of the cool developments that are going on behind the scenes here at TMXS.
First of all- it speaks so much about you guys and the content readers like you have provided for this website, that despite my complete and utter lack of posting or publicizing, we’re still getting several hundred visitors a month! And the quotes keep coming! If you’ve submitted a quote in the last several months, just know it didn’t go unnoticed and it’s safely incubating in our giant quote database, faring much better than all the houseplants I’ve neglected over the years.
The main reason the website has been so quiet is we’ve been planning our official launch celebration in New York City- more details to come on that later. Just expect some fun and wacky shenanigans coming up around the New Year.
In the meantime, because I am that needy, I have a request: What are these two men are conversing about in this 1950s romance comic? I invite you to post in the comments section below.
What are these men talking about? You decide!
Cheers!
Everybody moves at their own pace when it comes to relationships. Sometimes, you fall into step with someone easily. Other times, it’s too fast or too slow. Are you waltzing while they’re doing the tango? Or the foxtrot?
In the case of this reader, here, I do have to agree that if you can’t tell after 5 months whether you love someone, the answer is probably no.
Looks like they had spent enough time together to come to the relationship’s conclusion.
Sometimes, we all need some space.
Sometimes, taking that space makes you an insensitive jerk.
How was everyone’s Valentine’s Day? Sometimes, holidays or birthdays and the-like can be built up to the point where you end up feeling a let down. Like the disappointing birthday card in Cards Against Humanity. And then maybe you have a fight. Anybody have a V-Day like that? And then you inevitably try to talk to your significant other about what went wrong…
And sometimes, instead of a resolution, you come to an impasse like this:
Nope. That is not a real apology.
Get yer chocolate ready and start yer engines! It’s nearly lovin’ time!
Ah, romance. Another year of love.
Starting to itch yet? VD is almost upon us!
Batten down the hatches, lonely people! It’s going to be a stormy weekend.
That’s right. Five whole days until it’s impossible to get a restaurant table. And forget getting seen with any of your new friends, making Saturday plans on Valentine’s Day just adds a whole new level of complicated to a casual or pre-what-are-we-conversation relationship. Best avoided. I recommend volunteering to babysit for your coupled-and-progenied friends!
And there’s this.
This week’s quote is almost sweet. She’s jealous. They were at a crappy party. And he’s in love with her. Actually.
If he comes to terms with dropping the “L word” by surrounding himself with other women, I wonder what his proposal’s going to be like?
What’s good party etiquette? Not this.
What the….
At least he was honest? I don’t know if that’s better, actually. I appreciate a good manscape as much as the next girl, but during the party? Come on. Nobody’s that insecure, are they? Woof.

Wow! Turns out finishing a masters program makes one busy. But I’m happy to report the degree is complete, and I’ve bid goodbye to bonny Scotland and returned to the hustle and bustle of New York City. And that means back to business! We’ll be switching our posts to every Tuesday and Thursday, so that I can expend some of my TMXS energy on developing some new plans for the site. More to come on that soon.
But now, the reason why we’re all here. The quote of the day! So, are you ready?
In all honesty, some people take a long-ass time to get ready. She could be one of those people. But this guy still sounds like a tool. Nap time? Wake up, dude, and recognize all that fuss was for you! Next, she’ll take less time and he’ll tell her she’s letting herself go.
