"He was also very critical-would criticize me over little things, like how many times I turned the bacon while cooking"
Oh yes, the criticism never ended. If I wore a cute skirt or dress out he would tell me I looked like a ****. If I covered up, I was boring and no fun and other girls looked hotter than me. You seriously can't win. He would tell me to go out with my friends more because I nagged him too much, then I would go out with them and then he would send his friends to follow us out and yell "sluts, skanks"! Its actually amusing to me now that I'm writing it all down. How did I put up with all that pull and tug??? I think they feed on the drama. They can't stand to be in normal, calm relationships. As soon as I stopped feeding into his drama and being more mature and detached, he was bored with me and he started looking for other people. God, I hope he burns one day.
