On my birthday I received a text. He said, “So I have a funny story to tell you.” Who knew that a funny story involved him sleeping with my best friend who was a “lesbian”?
—Birthday girl
Aftermath: Consequently the relationship was over. In the year, my ex received some decent karma when his girlfriend cheated on him and left him for the same girl that he left me for.
I found out on my birthday that he had been cheating on me for 9 months.
—Jasmine
Aftermath: Five months later, he told me he loved me and couldn’t imagine himself with anyone else. We aren’t together but we aren’t broken up.
I had been dating him for 5 years and I was 7 months pregnant when we went separately to the county fair. He had no idea I was there and saw him kiss another girl. He came home and asked why I was pissed. When I told him, he said “Can’t I have you both?”
—Shay
Aftermath: We ended our relationship. I am getting married to an amazing guy.
At a cook out, he shared with his boss that I was pregnant with twins and used that opportunity to ask for an increase in pay. I was not pregnant, did not look pregnant and we had only been dating for a month at that time.
—Ma Chell
Aftermath: It ended that night. I saw his boss about a year later and he asked about our kids, as he got regular updates from my ex on how they were doing. I told the truth to the boss and the ex lost his job.
Three days after I lost my virginity to my first boyfriend, I found out that he had been sleeping with three of his exes and three of my friends—including best friend.
—MJ
Aftermath: Two months later, he proposed to my ex-best friend.
