- At the time we started dating I was very thin. I am 5'6" and at the time weighed 110. He would berate me for the food I was eating, telling me I was going to get fat if I didn't watch it.
- He would never do any house work. I would ask him to do dishes (the only thing I asked him to do) before leaving for class. When I would get home, the dishes would not be done. Sometimes he would fill the sink with water, but he never scraped the dishes so there would be chicken bones floating in the water. When I bitched about it he would point out that he had alphabetized the book case, or reorganized his backpack or some other entirely useless task.
- When we would argue he always said things would be better when we were out of school. College Town was the problem. When we moved to the Big City he would be happy, thus we could be happier. When we moved to Big City, we were sitting in our bedroom surrounded by boxes that my family was unloading from the truck and he informed me he hated Big City and wished we could go back to College Town. Also Big City was his idea. I finally realized he was just a person who never be happy. Ever
- My mom didn't tell me about this until after I left T. She would frequently offer to buy lunch or dinner for us, and T would go pick it up. However, he would never give her the change. She said she always dreaded handing him a 20 for taco bell because she would never see it again.
- His younger sister was very smart. She decided to major in the same field I was in. T and his mom had a long conversation in front of me about how she was too smart for that and it would be a waste of her intellect. Thanks, luckily I am dumb enough for it.
- During college we worked in retail. He worked in a department originally, then was moved to security. It was his job to catch shoplifters. Imagine my surprise when I found many items he had stolen from work. One day I found over $500 in playstation games he had stolen. We didn't even have a playstation. I asked him what the fuck he was thinking. He wanted to return them to various store around town to get the cash. He returned a few, but then was nervous he would get caught so he "made" me return some of them. Obviously he couldn't make me, he just kept bitching and complaining about how we needed the money and how dumb I was being and just wore me down. Giving in on this is one of my huge regrets.
Seeing all of this written out is really horrifying. Also funny, because it sounds so unreal, who could be such an asshole? Who would marry him? Meeeee.
Lots of assholes, fortunately for them lots of young naive women. You grew up, got smart and got out! We all have regrets and have done stupid things. You learn from them and you go on!
ReplyDeleteI kind of hate him. And I totally understand how a relationship like that can progress anyway, even when it seems so nuts afterward.
ReplyDeleteHaving BEEN in one of those relationships, I totally understand the stuff that you look back on and cringe. I look at it like this: "I did what I had to do to survive and get myself out of the situation."
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you had to go through that. I had a similar experience. I still have regrets--and yet, I think that I love and appreciate my husband more because of the jerkoff who came before him.
