Attack on Potato Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Hello Everyone, if you don't mind listening for a while, I've got a story that I'll like to share. You see, this story started two years ago when I met this guy at my workplace at the time. As you can guess already, this story is about our relationship together and how it ultimately ended. I guess you can say it ended badly but I've come to look at it from another angle. It didn't end badly, it just seemed that way. I'll tell you why in a few moments. Well, maybe more than a few, there's two years worth of stuff to tell so it's probably going to take a while. I just hope you don't get bored. Alright, so boy meets girl. Typical enough right? He asked me out and I liked him enough,so I said yes. And we've been together for over two years. Our relationship ended in February of 2014 when I received a text from him telling me that he would like to break up with me as he would like more time to focus on his career and did not think that he would have the time for me. That was nothing but a ridiculous lie. I found out later though, when I came across his Facebook. It wasn't like I was purposely stalking his Facebook though, it was quite by accident. I was playing an old game I downloaded again : Draw Something. I used to play it with him so his updated Facebook photo was reflected in the game when I re-downloaded it to play. I was surprised to see that his new Facebook photo had a photo of him in a suit and a girl who I have not seen before in a wedding dress. The lousy scumbag got married a month after he broke up with me. Of course, the theories started popping up in my head. He got her pregnant and had to marry her. He was already with her when we were together. In the end, I realized it didn't matter. A quick scroll through her Facebook confirmed it. They were together from November 2013. He broke up with me in February 2014. He had 4 months to end things with me and he didn't. He strung me along, continued to keep in touch with me occasionally. Lied to me about what he's doing, where he was. Occasionally, he would ask me out and compliment me and treat me to dinner and tell me how hard he was working to earn more money so we can settle down in the future and that was why he didn't have much time to spend with me now. And I believed him. Of course I wasn't happy about it, he kept blowing me off and I spent Christmas and New Years Day alone because he had 'work' to do, but I didn't doubt that he was anything less than faithful to me. I truly believed that he was just spending a lot of time and effort on his work. Come to think about it, I was so foolish, or maybe I just trusted him too much, whichever. It didn't matter. I had no idea at all until after we parted ways and I stumbled upon the information. One of the worse parts of finding out is realizing I was the only ignorant fool. Quick looks at the pictures they took together told me all I needed to know. All of his friends and family members knew, and they didn't say anything to me when they could have. I mean, how hard could it have been? Well...why should they anyway? After all, they are HIS friends, not MINE. I just thought it should be some sort of basic human courtesy that's all. Guess that's scarce in people these days, common courtesy that is. And that wasn't all, he continued on stringing me along and occasionally he would ask me to buy him things. For his birthday he said. He needed an I-pad for his work and he was a little short on cash so maybe I could buy one for him first? Being the love-sick fool I was, I agreed. (Apparently, he also needed a new I-phone, $1000 in cash, a gold necklace etc...) Well, those objects made a re-appearance in his lovely new wife's Facebook photos. 'Husband's lovely present to me!' The gold necklace I gave him. 'Husbands's valentine's day present!' The I-pad I paid for. It was like a sucker punch to the gut. What kind of ****ed up person does this? I find myself wondering if his wife knew where those gifts really came from. And I wish that was it...but it wasn't. Right after we broke up, he tried to take half of the money in our joint bank account. I remember it as clear as day, he had only ONCE put in $1000 into the bank account, the rest of the money was mine. I was the one saving and putting money into the account for our future home. Even then, a month or so after he put in the money, he took it out again to pay for his driving lessons. So ALL the money in that bank account rightfully belonged to me. However, by law, he had a right to take any amount of the money since it is a joint account. But he knew the money didn't belong to him...and he tried to take it anyway, knowing the law cannot do anything to him. I lost about $1400 to him. It's a small sum but it was my hard earned money and I loathed to lose it to him. Thank goodness I managed to recover the other 90% of the account's money first, so I didn't end up broke AND brokenhearted. So in short, it ended badly. He was unfaithful to me, didn't break up with me immediately and instead strung me along to try and milk as much cash out of me as it was possible before dumping me with some lame excuse about work to marry a girl he just met 5 months ago. Wonderfully done! You fooled me completely. I hope you're proud of yourself for being such an a-class *******. I was bitter and angry, still am to be frank. But after careful thinking, I realized this is better than the alternative. Better her than me. Thank God she came along and married him instead. Or else, I'll be the one stuck with that sorry sack of **** instead. So I guess it ended well for me in a way. At least now I get a second chance to find someone else who won't **** all over my heart. And it's already game over for them. One day I'll look back at this and laugh, not today but sometime in the future. Now I'm slowly but surely piecing the pieces of my heart back together and finally putting myself first for the first time. This is the end of one relationship, but I'll find someone else someday. I'm not in a hurry, he'll come along when he does. So to all those sad saps who had their heart broken by some undeserving *******, don't despair. Things are already looking up, you're rid of someone who doesn't deserve you. So chin up and keep smiling dearies. I know I will.

Author Attack on Potato Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 Yea well, it was hard at first. I kept feeling so damn angry about it. I thought about getting even with him too, find that woman and let her know where the 'gifts' are from. But she probably knew about me anyway, and the fact that she was agreeable to a marriage after knowing a guy for 5 months speaks for itself. I'm just gonna focus on living my life and forget about him. Karma will get him back eventually. Thanks for the nice comment
