Alright we have all heard the phrase, “Bitches Be Crazy!” As a girl I have taken the proper amount of offense to this phrase and really tried not to give it any encouragement. But as I creep up in years and I watch my male friends navigate through many relationships I see more and more truth in this phrase. While I agree many girls get their crazy ways from a man who treated them wrong, I think its time ladies for us to put aside the excuses and get our shit together.
This post is inspired by trend I saw on twitter. The hashtag was “#ExGirlfriendsBeLike”. I know many of my followers aren’t twitter savvy so I will explain what this means. When a hashtag trends it means lots of users are tweeting to this hashtag. When I saw the trend I clicked on it only to reveal so many crazy stories about exes. I started thinking about this and realized that I know of quite a few crazy stories myself.
I’d like to share one such story. A recent ex of mine had who he called “the crazy ex”. Knowing he’s a guy I didn’t put much faith in that nickname until I saw her in action. Not only did she proclaim her love to my then boyfriend (they dated a few weeks) but when he tried to cut contact she stalked him, texted him, Facebooked him- you name it she did it. And she wonders how she got the name the “crazy ex”.
So here is my task for you ladies. We need to turn this around. We don’t need a negative hashtag trending about us. We don’t need other ladies scowling at our actions. We need to make a good name for girls. We are all someone’s ex lets just be an ex and strip the crazy part.
How do we do that? If he is your ex. MOVE ON. Don’t text, tweet, Facbook, Skype, drive by, use binoculars at his window, *69 him…just don’t contact him. Leave the memories in the past where they belong and find a new man to move on with. I know how hard it is but let’s do it for the ladies. No more craziness out there ladies let’s get our act together!

I never use the phrase but some are really really out to lunch. They need to move on fast and stupid going all crazy stalker, same for guys, they can do it just as bad.
This is true. Men and women do it but it seems women have a special knack for it.
Yeah, there are some crazy ass chicks out there, but honestly, when you’ve been screwed over by an asshole, it’s easy to go psycho. #paybacksabitch
Bijoux, I LOVED your hashtag. That was BRILLIANT!!!!!!
I’m here to amuse!
Nice hashtag! And yes you are right I have been screwed over by plenty but I think killing them with kindness is the way to go.
“. I know how hard it is but let’s do it for the ladies. No more craziness out there ladies let’s get our act together!”
You are sooooooooooo right, Shae! And not only does this pertain to women, but men as well because I’ve seen quite a few guys act the same way towards women.
I twitter or facebook, but I’ve heard HORROR stories about some of the stuff that people say and do on those social media sites.
FAB post, girl! As always!
Have a super weekend!

You are right its almost like people think because they are on social media they can say and do things they would not normally do since they are hiding behind a computer screen!
I’m with you, Shae. Although I haven’t had an ex in over 20 years, so I may not be the best one to weigh in on this 🙂 But yes, move on – stalking just makes you look pathetic.
Yes it very much does, why dont more women understand this?
Great post. Of course men do their share of the crazy, too. Ex’s of both genders have to learn how to move on.
This is very true! I guess I saw it most with women but these comments are reinforcing it is both genders to blame!
