“We were fighting all the time.
I’d venture to leave and he’d love-bomb me.
At some point, I just asked him to make some effort to treat me with some kindness.
He replied that he refused to do that because it would be ‘a lie’.”

“We were walking to a restaurant and casually chatting.
He cut me off and said, ‘probably sleeping in and doing nothing all day.'”
“It was just a jab to be hurtful, no lead-up to it at all.
He worked part-time as a server but couldn’t support himself, while I paid all our bills.
He didn’t want to be on the lease because he didn’t want to feel tied down.
I dumped him over dinner at the restaurant.”

He told me ‘It felt good to yell at someone who actually deserved it.’

He was so HAPPY.

“I dated a woman for a year.
The day she was to start moving in with me, she told me my cat had to go.
I told her that wasn’t going to happen.
She told me I had to choose, her or the cat.
I told her goodbye!
Never saw her again.”
