The Real Reason
u/RJLestrange: “[My ex] had a fairly large scar on her back and was incredibly self-conscious about it. She wouldn’t even take her shirt off the first time we had s–. When I asked her about it, she said she had fallen from her horse when she was young.
Fast forward a little and I’m out finding her a birthday present and have enlisted the help of her friend. I pick out a s–y singlet and her friend just looks out me like I’m stupid. Apparently the scar on her back, which the singlet clearly revealed, wasn’t from a fall, but an abusive ex-boyfriend who had pushed her onto his motorbikes exhaust pipe and burnt her. We ended on good terms, and I never told her I knew.”
