He called me from out of the country and told me that he knew I was in a grocery store. And he wanted to know who I was shopping with (a male friend who had a car). Turns out his friends saw me and called him to tell him what I was doing.

Aftermath: I found out that he was an international drug dealer, living under a different name, was married, and had 5 children by 5 women—all at age 26.
I read something about a woman setting her husband up with a comfortable life so she wouldn’t feel guilty about leaving him. I saw an unsettling connection between my wife’s excitement about my recent promotion, so I asked “Are you happy for me because you want a divorce?” She said I was crazy. But, she left me a week later, after months of planning. I knew it was over when she was happy for me.

We had been together for about 6 months. I lived in San Diego to attend college, and he lived in Orange County. For his birthday, we were supposed to go to Disneyland. I skipped school to drive to see him the day before with a rum cake decorated like a PBR can (we partied a lot). When I called to tell him about the surprise, he said he was tired and I should stay at my parents house that night.

Aftermath: I showed up anyways. He was having a party with all our mutual friends and his ex-girlfriend who I knew he still had feelings for. I should have thrown the cake in his face.

My job prohibited employees from dating managers but we often would go out as a group. Shortly after my 18th birthday, my manager asked me if I was going to the movie on Friday. When I arrived to meet up with everyone, I discovered that nobody else knew about it. He told me he wanted to see me but we couldn’t let anyone know or we could lose our jobs. We secretly dated for about 8 months until I found out that he had just begun secretly dating another co-worker too.

Aftermath: At that point I was done with him, but I warned her about him because I had known her for years and felt that she was even more naive than I was.

During sex, she got really hot telling me fantasy stories about me having sex with a hot girl lifeguard after everyone had left the pool. She started worked out 2 nights a week with friends. Shortly thereafter I found out that the “workout friends” was a gym teacher. At his school. At the pool. After everyone else had left.

Aftermath: She vehemently denied any wrongdoing; said that it was a coincidence, even after I received a cell phone video of proof. I filed for divorce.
