They have terror cells here. I’d avoid places with a lot of people until this thing dies down. For real.

Yep. I joined GC in 2003. He was 7. He's 29 now. .

As I remember, you just said you tapped into dude’s v-mail and heard a chick, then packed up all dude’s gifts he got you, put it in a garbage bag and dropped it off in front of his fraternity house, which I thought was funny as hell. The mental image of it had me Lmao. You didn’t even knock? Dude didn’t try to explain himself? I’m just asking because you didn’t have any proof. Did he try to get you back? Did you go back? Was this when you were at the University of Minnesota? These are details you left out. Dude probably opened the door and said wtf? LOL!

lol
Because you are usually up to something.

This was when I was at UND. I was a cheerleader, he was on the football team, and he just happened to be in a fraternity too.

I didn’t need proof, I had peace. And that was enough. Besides, proof is for court, Phrozen. Intuition is for self-respect, which I’ve always had a lot of. But it wouldn’t matter, by the time I would’ve gotten the proof, I’d already returned the garbage bag of gifts he got me.

Things that are easily available and cost very little are often low in value and low in quality. So, some of my friends tried making excuses for him by telling me that he made a mistake, that I have too much pride and that I should take him back. I told them that it’s not pride, it’s pricing. I don’t hand out full price loyalty to discount behavior.

Bottom line is that I’m not a game. Honestly? I was the final exam that boy forgot to study for. He didn’t realize that dating me is like parking in a garage with security cameras. Try something stupid and see what happens. He didn’t get caught. He got figured out. That’s what happened.

He just didn’t get that I didn’t play games. I set boundaries, color code them, laminate them, and highlight them in pink.

CG is back! Wussup?! How was your vacation?

Back to dude. LMAO @ what’s in bold. CG, you’re possessive as hell. You got trust issues. So did he try to get you back? What happened there? I know he had to have tried to explain himself. Did you tell him about how you tapped into his v-mail? What’d he say about his retuned gifts? Did anybody see you walk up to the house and drop off his gifts? This is some funny ass shit LOL!!!

I need details LOL! I think we’d all like to read them.

It was fun. I’m not back home until tomorrow, which is only like a 6 hour drive. Staying the night at my sister-in-law’s before we go back home tomorrow morning.

lol
Possessive? No. Let’s use the right words. I’m exclusive, I’m observant, and I’m not about to look stupid on purpose. That’s it.

Did he try to get me back? C’mon, of course he did. For like two years until he graduated and even then, I was told from friends he came back looking for me, but by that time, I’d already transferred to Minnesota to prepare for vet school. I don’t remember everything but he came with the whole speech, “I didn’t cheat, I swear, you’ve got it wrong, please just hear me out…” Meanwhile the bag of returned gifts was already sitting on his porch like a surprise party he didn’t want.

Did I tell him I tapped into his voicemail? No. I didn’t need to. I knew, he knew, and the teddy bear laying face down on the front lawn knew too. I mean, it was obvious enough.

When I say dating me is like parking in a garage with security cameras, it means I don’t hover. I don’t stalk. I just don’t miss patterns, and I don’t ignore what I see. I’m not paranoid, I’m perceptive. And if a guy tries something stupid, he’ll catch himself on replay. I’m just not blind. I mean, I don’t sit around checking his phone or spying or anything like that. I just pay attention to red flags and I don’t pretend I didn’t see them. Trust is easy if a guy is trustworthy. But if he’s sneaky? I’ll figure him out every time, which is what I did to my ex. That’s all.

Did anyone see me drop the bag off? Maybe. I hope they did. I like people to know I clean up my peace when I’m done. Call it a teachable moment.

It’s not trust issues, Phrozen. I don’t have that problem. It’s called not being an emotional pawn. Look it up. I’m not damaged, I’m disciplined. I trust myself more than any excuses. Since then, I refused to let myself get messed with like that ever again. I wasn’t bitter. I wasn’t angry. I just learned to get smarter. So… guys like him, I left them in the “on sale/clearance aisle”, and that in itself is the very reason the same game won’t and hasn’t been played on me twice. That learning experience and discernment got me a good man. Truly a blessing.

Lmao @ “the teddy bear knew”. You’re a trip. At first I thought you met dude at a fraternity party or something Greek life in nature. So I was thinking to myself, how was CG not interested in Greek life, but her dude was Greek? Was he D9 Greek? I’m assuming no, but curious.

I’d have ask how you found out. Then you’d have to tell him. Did he ask? Did he mention anything about the garbage bag of returned gifts? LOL!!!

This story is funny as hell.

No, he wasn’t a member of any of your organizations.

He didn’t have to ask how I found out, he knew exactly what I heard. Trust me, when you’ve got a guilty conscience and a plastic bag of teddy bears on your porch, it’s pretty self-explanatory. Funny thing is, that teddy bear stayed on that lawn longer than he did in my life, lol.

I don’t really remember all of it, Phrozen. I mean, that was like almost 25 years ago? I just knew I didn’t have time for that kind of nonsense, especially when it was with a girl on my cheer team.

Damn! Lol! She backstabbed you. Wow.

So you’ll reject Greek life but will date its members Lol!

So, I honestly never figured that out. I was nice to everyone, I even went out of my way to be nice to her, but for whatever reason, she just hated my guts. Not sure why. I guess some people just need a villain in their head, and I made a convenient one? lol

So when I found out she was the one who was with him, I wasn’t shocked. I mean, it was like, “Well, okay… add that to the list, I guess.” I never did figure out what her problem was with me, and believe me, I wasn’t about to lose sleep trying to.

With the second part of your post, I mean, what can I say, Phrozen? Clean cut, jawline, dimples, it’s too much. It’s never been about “greek” letters or anything like that, it’s that energy. That charm. Put it this way, I have a type…. and I married him.

It’s called jealousy, CG.
