It’s almost Valentine’s Day! And in honor of Friday’s impending Hallmark holiday, we will be posting one new comic every day this week!

Kicking off the fun is this guy:

Lie so you don't get upset

His logic is flawless.

Ever find out that your boyfriend thinks you’re kind of busted looking?

don't get your teeth

Not our kids. Your kids. Because I wouldn’t touch that with anything but a ten foot pole. Or my penis.

…Let’s hope his kids don’t inherit his tact.


It’s hard to believe that we are at the end of this year. In fact, it’s been exactly a year since the relationship that sparked ThingsMyExSaid came to an end! What’s different since then? Well, I’m living in another country, studying in a graduate program (never intended to go to grad school… but that’s a story for another day), it’s the longest I’ve been single since I was about 11 (serial monogamist alert), and I’m about to board a plane to spend New Year’s Eve in a country I couldn’t have located on a map until about 3 months ago. And I just accidentally stirred my coffee with a dirty spoon, so now it tastes like onions. We can’t win ’em all.

But the little ticker on my homepage says there are about a thousand of you checking in when I air my and your dirty laundry here on the site every week. And that’s pretty damn cool. I’m having a lot of fun with you guys, and looking forward to a great 2014!

Here is a list of the Top Ten TMXS quotes of 2013. Some quotes are from the early days, that I think many of you may have missed. And some are just too good not to revisit. Cheers, and Happy New Year!

It’s ThingsMyExSaid‘s 100th post!! Oh my gosh! We’re so old! And to celebrate, I thought what better way than to share one of my personal favorites. I’ve been saving this one for a special day. I think you can guess why.

Alright. It’s time to learn a strange bit of trivia about me.

So I have this pattern of being dumped when a terrible, horrendous disaster occurs close to my home. Seriously.  The guy I’m with realizes the world is going to end and that he’d rather die alone than anywhere near me. The first time this happened, he was my first serious boyfriend in high school. You know, that one.

Usually I like to leave you guessing as to which are the quotes from my own life, and which are reader submissions. But today is a special case. And believe me, I wouldn’t post this quote if I didn’t know with 100% certainly that it was real.

You just can’t make this stuff up, folks. And I suppose, in some small way, that was the start of how ThingsMyExSaid was born.


So I started this site to make fun of and achieve catharsis from my (and your) shitty ex-significant-others. Here’s what happens when one of my not shitty ex-boyfriends starts reading the site.
