It's pretty much all smooth for now anyway, I should mention. I talked to her about the [expletive] and she's backed off to treating me like a friend again and not being pissy. Plus I have a date this weekend so yeaaah boi.

I know I have a history of being over the top misogynistic. But my comments weren't necessarily that bad. My advice was to ignore her. In my experience, and I have a decent amount of experience with crazy ex gf's, ignoring them is the most productive thing to do. It helps with moving on as well. If she treats him like that, especially in a work setting, there's not really a future there.

Fighting fire with fire is going to start an issue with his feelings, his professional life, and he'll still be stressed. Instead of fighting fire with fire, fight fire with banging some other chick.

Awesome! Again, TM, my comment had nothing to do with your [expletive] ex (who is apparently now a friend). You also seem like a very cool guy. But well done on the rebound!

You can always invent a new girlfriend to make her jealous.

Or start drinking more Dr. Pepper around the office. Instant respect.

Moving on amicably is not acceptable after the trouble she caused. There should be something you know about her that could be leaked to others in the office to humiliate her.
