15. Long Distance Relationships
My first long-term girlfriend and I planned to attend the same college, but I had to start a semester later, making us slightly long-distance. One night, she butt-dialed me, and I overheard her talking to a guy. She claimed it was her friend Jack, which I found odd but brushed off. During a visit, I met a guy named Luke, who later messaged me on Facebook, revealing she had been cheating on me since she started college. Devastated, I confronted her, and she admitted it, saying she no longer had to lie. The guy’s voice I heard wasn’t Jack but the one she was cheating with. Despite the pain, I was grateful for Luke’s honesty. Interestingly, most of her friends sided with me, and when I started college the next semester, they became my close friends and remain so to this day.
16. Sixth Sense
While at work, I tried calling my boyfriend, but he didn’t answer for hours, leaving me with a horrible feeling. I was so stressed that I started crying, and my boss let me go home. When I got home, I found him in bed, half-clothed, with a naked woman. After a huge blow-up, he absurdly claimed she followed him home from the movies. Even if that were true, he let her in and got naked with her. It was a terribly abusive relationship, and although I eventually broke up with him, I regret not ending it on the spot. That was over ten years ago, and I wish I had left him sooner.
