Some people thrive on drama. My own little sister, whom is 21, is that way. You should hear the fights she gets into with her boyfriend, and how many times they've broken up over the years, the major drama that seems to take center stage more often than not within their relationship. But, I've come to the conclusion with her, and she agrees with me, that the true reason she starts these insignificant rants with him is because subconsciously she is trying to see how far she can push him, see how much he really cares, if he really in truly loves her, or whether he'll end up leaving her like the other male figures in her life (father, stepfather) have in the past. Basically, those fears cause her to push him away in order to protect herself from being hurt, even though she loves him. I used to be that way myself. I know. So sometimes there might be a hidden reason to the way in which someone behaves. Sometimes you have to dig a little deeper and find the root of why someone is the way they are. Not to excuse their behave mind you, but to understand them better. Granted though, some people just truly get off on being overly dramatic, and there's no other explantation for why they are the way they are besides finding enjoyment in stirring the pot so-to-speak, or simply being bored. Anyway, sorry you got an earfull from your ex.
