Broke up with a man who turns out, was jealous of all the things he accused me of being. A diva’s canon event

This was waaaaaay too relatable, my goodness. I dated a man like this before, never again.

Thankfully my current boyfriend is nothing like this. This gave me good retrospective.

I want my girlfriend to go out with her friends and have a blast. Dress to the nines, get attention and have fun. If you don't trust your girlfriend, you shouldn't be with her. Also, I'm not a sports fan so I may not even be a man.

The pipeline of a fan behavior man becoming your biggest opp boyfriend is an unfortunate cannon event

This is like reading the beginning story of my ex and I. Men like him, them, they are attracted to the sparkle but cannot stand the shine. So they try to dim us down, compete with the idea of us in their head.

I'm glad he's an ex for you. I'm glad mine's an ex too.
