Getting It Off Their Chest
Briefly dated this girl when I was 17, it didn’t work out; I broke up with her, her friends egged my car… all the usual teenage fun. She almost immediately starts dating another guy. About two years pass, and I’m just out of a long-term relationship.
She’s still dating this same rebound guy, but I can tell she still has feelings for me, so of course I use that as a massive confidence boost and hang out with her all the time even though I’m not interested in dating her again.
One day we’re hanging at her place, and our usual flirtation escalates to some play-fighting. Yeah, highway to the danger zone… not wanting to be that guy (even though I was clearly already being a jerk), I hastily leave after we almost kiss, and avoid her for a few weeks.
So, a few weeks later, her boyfriend texts me asking if we can chat. Neither of us are the violent type so I sheepishly agree, ready to apologise profusely and promise to stay away. Instead, he leads the conversation with, “So, obviously you and my girlfriend still have some feelings for each other.
Do you just want to go out so you two can get it off your chest?” I still haven’t decided if he’s the most whipped guy or the most incredibly confident guy I’ve ever met.
I later found out that she had packed up his stuff (he was living with her) expecting me to ask her out, but when that never happened, they stayed together. So I’m going to go with whipped. They’re married now. Story credit: Reddit / [deleted]
