1. Changed Name
My college girlfriend and I lived together for a year after I realized she would always have her phone on silent or just plain ignore calls from “Jennifer.” One day, I write down the number and call it a week later.
It ends up being her other boyfriend, who she had never broken up with before she came to college. Neither of us knew about each other, and she had been visiting him when she went home to see her parents on some weekends and breaks.
Broke up soon after, and her mom said that sometimes you just have to accept things and that I owed her an apology for breaking up with her. It gets worse, but that was the gist.
