Everyday Typical Story


“My boyfriend would do all sorts of crazy things when we first met.  We’d talk until four in the morning.  He said he’d die to be with me.  But the moment he knew that I was falling for him, he suddenly grew cold.  He’d call me names.  He’d disappear for days every time we argued. And he started spending time with other girls.  He said they were just friends, but it bothered me.  Plus he would never commit.  I asked him for a commitment because my parents are trying to fix my marriage, but he just listened to me cry.  He wouldn’t say a word.  During one of the periods that he wasn’t talking to me, I reconnected with an old crush from my childhood.  And this new guy treated me so well.  He even came to meet my parents to show that he was serious.  But my boyfriend logged onto my Facebook and discovered our messages.  And he started crying and begged me not to leave.  He said he’d marry me if I came back to him.  So I did.  But now he’s saying that he hasn’t decided if he can forgive me.”
