Clothes, Relatable, Awkward and Love: Cruel

Cruel

By scorned_jacketless_lady - 26/08/2013 04:52 - Australia - Brisbane

Today, after spending the weekend together, my ex turned nasty. I finally had the balls to tell him what a cruel asshole I think he is and really hit him where it hurts. I felt very empowered and strong. That is, until I realized I left my favourite and rather expensive jacket in his apartment. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to leave my controlling and manipulative ex. He took it well. And by "took it well", I mean he camped out my doorstep, held some of my belongings hostage, and tried to blackmail me into staying with him. FML

Today, while sorting through my clothes, I found one of my ex's old sweaters. After a lot of thought and difficulty, I threw it out. I felt empowered, until my father later rifled through my trash and claimed the sweater for himself. FML

Today, I finally got a restraining order against my violent ex. My mom now keeps finding ways to tell me how shitty I am for breaking the "poor boy's" heart and how I didn't deserve him anyway. FML

Today, I found the purse that some asshat stole from my 15-year-old sister a few days ago. I found it in my now ex-boyfriend's closet. When I confronted him, he broke up with me for "invading" his privacy and kicked me out, without the purse. FML

Today, I got into a huge fight with my boyfriend after driving 200 miles to see him. While arguing, I told him I never wanted to see him again and left after slamming the front door. I left my car keys in his kitchen. FML

Today, I caught my ex trying to slash my car tires with a knife. She actually had the balls to claim she was testing my tire pressure, before power-walking off into the distance like nothing had happened. FML

Ultraviolence

Today, I finally stood up to a bully who had been messing with me for over a year. His response? He picked up the chair I was sitting in and threw me across the room. FML

Letting you know

By Anonymous - 18/02/2013 21:30 - United States - Los Angeles

Today, I felt like letting my ex know just how I felt about all the bullshit he put me through. I dug up his number, typed a long paragraph with lots of pain and emotion, and sent it. The reply was, "No wonder he broke up with you." Thanks, whoever has that number now. FML

This ain't working out

Today, my boyfriend and I got into a heated argument. He raised his hand like he was going to hit me. Having been hit by my ex before, I panicked and instinctively kicked his legs out from under him. He then dumped me because he said he was just gonna scare me, but I used real violence on him. FML

Nice neighborhood

Today, after my ex broke up with me, I threw out all the clothes he’d bought me before, which was basically my entire wardrobe. Anyway, this creepy guy who lives a few blocks away seems to be wearing my old clothes and waves my bras and panties at me. It’s gross and creepy. FML

Honey, if he was that bad, it's worth losing the coat. Congratulations for standing up to him. It's definitely not an easy thing to do.

Well, time to go ask for it back. Be nice about it, just for the coat.

I took "ex" to mean that he was your boyfriend when you spent the night. I took hitting him "where it hurts" to be verbal - maybe he's illiterate or a little rough around the edges and you cut him down for it. If that's the case, that was really shitty of you and you shouldn't have done that. You deserved to lose your coat and you do NOT deserve to be empowered. Next time? Try, "I don't like the way you treat me and I'm not going to put up with it. Goodbye, don't try to contact me or I will call the police"

I completely agree. Also I'd like to add a small point. If "hit him where it hurts" was literal; and you physically hit him in the genitals (I could be way off and this is not the case - if so then I am sorry), then you shouldn't feel empowered and you should lose your coat, as well as anything else you left at his place. Under no circumstances should a person (man or woman) hit someone unless it is in self defense.

Cut your losses! You shouldn't apologize to anyone after you stood up for yourself. Good for you OP!

If the breakup was that bad, your jacket and anything else you left there are probably long gone by now.

Better hope he's not spiteful and vindictive as well as a cruel asshole, huh?

Would you pay the money you spent on the coat to never see him again? If you would, then it's money well lost, right?

Today, I got into a fight with my girlfriend after spending the weekend together. She ripped into me verbally before hitting me in the balls and storming out. Not only did she break up with me, but also she forgot her favorite jacket. It's very expensive and she will most certainly come back for it. FML
