Boyfriend Horror Stories

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009 | Memoirs

r-and-cbDuring an in-depth conversation I recently had about the newest shocking twist to the Rihanna and C.B debacle, a guy responded, “Why the hell would she go back to him?” I know that this is the reaction of millions of girls and guys around the world, but it made me think, why do so many girls stick around with their asshole boyfriends?

Everybody knows at least one couple that shouldn’t be together and in many cases it’s because of the douche bag boyfriend. For example, I recently heard about a guy who slapped his girlfriend across the face on a restaurant patio. Luckily, a table of five men saw the fiasco and chased the guy down. Lesson: exhibit A is someone you don’t want to be with. Maybe one of the five guys that stood up for you, however, is. A guy who can stand up for your dignity rather than take it away is a sign of a good boyfriend. Oh, and the fact that he slapped her is a pretty big red flag.

A good friend of mine recently got out of a long-term relationship with one of the most controlling guys I’ve ever met. He got mad any time she went out with her girlfriends, he would lie to her about emergencies so she’d leave work, and he even hacked into her Facebook and changed her password so only he could access it. The funny thing is, my friend is one of the sweetest, most innocent people I know and had never done anything to break her boyfriends trust. Lesson: A relationship shouldn’t feel like prison. You should be able to have a joint life but have a separate life as well and respect each other’s space. Trust is a huge part in a relationship and if you don’t have that, there’s going to be major problems.

Another friend of mine has a history of sticky relationships. The last one however, was with a guy who treated the relationship like a game and often wanted to include more players. In a nutshell, she found out that he was seeing someone else, he started avoiding my friend, he of course went back to her after breaking up with the other girl. He then started to date another new girl at the same time as my friend, again. And then she found out that he was actually sleeping with this newest girl the whole time he was with my friend and girl #1. Lesson: Never share your guy with someone else. If he isn’t satisfied with just you, he doesn’t deserve you. And games are only fun if they involve cards or plastic game pieces, not your emotions and self-esteem.

And lastly, years ago I dated a complete asshole who I can honestly say was the biggest mistake of my life. There is a plethora of lessons I learned from this two-month waste of time but ladies, here’s a good lesson to learn. My ex had quit his job and desperately asked to borrow a rather large sum of money from me. I admit now that I’m incredibly naïve and far too generous. I trusted him to pay me back like he promised but alas, I have only seen half of it. Lesson: Do not be a sugar momma, at least not to someone you just start dating. Even married couples these days sign pre-nups. Think about it.

In conclusion, ladies, please learn from mine and others mistakes, and guys please don’t be like any of these jerks.
