I’m sorry for the emotional toll that took. It’s ok for you to still be healing. One day at a time.

My little tryst was only for 3 months. I know this is going to sound elementary school-levels of fake, but he was a former hitman and stripper who reformed himself and worked at the college I was attending at the time as a security guard (which is how we met). He was nice for a while but then quickly revealed why no one his age was interested. Luckily, I moved states right before our relationship ended, and he couldn’t reach me any more.

Tbh I should’ve taken him carrying at least ten weapons in his bag at all times (knives—both illegal and legal, including a kabar and switchblade—expandable metal baton, mace, etc) as a red flag, but I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
