This is a safe space, right? Why is it that whenever someone tells a relationship story, they're always the victim? The wronged one who deserved better. But are you actually brave enough to own a time when you were the bad guy?
I'll go first as:
I once broke up with someone because they caught me cheating. She found DMs from the girl I'd told her not to worry about, and those messages told a very different story. When she confronted me, I did what every cornered coward does: made it about privacy, about anything except the actual issue. And then I ended things almost immediately after.
I know.
The thing is, I genuinely loved her. But instead of facing what I'd done, I decided it was easier to just become the villain. Walk away as the bad guy rather than stand there and watch the disappointment settle in her eyes.
Shame makes people do strange, awful things.
So what's your villain story?
