“Flowers”
We were laying in bed talking when his phone rang. He got up and walked outside to answer it. I got up and went to stand by the door to see who he was talking to. I heard him say, “Didn’t you get the flowers I sent you? Well, what? You can’t say thank you?” In the year we had been dating he never so much as took me out on a nice date! I confronted him, and he kept saying, “You just aren’t good enough. You’re not pretty. I want her back.”

Aftermath: I left that night, taking everything I had bought for the house. I’m now with a great guy, who thinks I’m great, pretty, and good enough. The ex still calls me from blocked numbers. I guess he thinks I’ll be there when he’s lonely. Truly a loser.
