Farewell
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Update
Adventures With Medical Issues
My first boyfriend was an asshole. He lied compulsively to me, cheated on me, treated me as if I were stupid (I was in uni, he never finished secondary school), compared me constantly to his ex (with whom he never argued (LIES)) and his cousin (why couldn’t I dress more conservatively like the rich brat) and was a general asshole all around.
It took me moving halfway across the country to stop going back to him. Breaking up is hard. It hurts. And you minimise the bad stuff and exaggerate the good stuff. I met another guy while there. Two months later my ex, despite me telling him I was in a different province, had a new boyfriend, was asking where I was and why he hadn’t seen me in so long, and why didn’t we get back together.
The scary thing is, if I HADN’T had a boyfriend, I might have considered it. I might have gotten back. Girls aren’t MEANT to want to be single (please note the sarcasm here). Girls and women are pressured into being in a relationship, so sometimes the evil you know seems the better option.
My mantra is, that when your friends start pitying your relationship instead of envying it, it’s time to get out.
As for help, it’s hard. Maybe spend some time with her away from the douche? Go window shopping, to parks, to concerts, just have a cup of coffee and gossip… The more she sees how there is stuff to do without the douche, and how much fun it can be, and how he will ruin it for her, the less time she’ll want to spend with him?
