“If you ever think of cheating on me”- he couldn’t complete his sentence as I pushed him taking him aback.
And I didn’t stop there I slapped him hard.
How could he even think something like that about me?
And did he just indirectly character assassinate and slut shame me?
I can’t believe this is the same person who comforted me at the police station and made sure I don’t blame myself.
This makes me think maybe men only support and comfort women when women were being forced into by someone because of course if women willingly even smile at another person they are ‘encouraging’ them according to the same men.
I didn’t know he harbored victim shaming mentality.
I guess I don’t know a lot of things about him.
I was giving him plus points on date yesterday just for holding my dress and arranging everything.
How much marks am i supposed to give over this?
Minus ten.
Moreover this wasn’t even that serious but his words made this nasty.
His head whips to the other side as an impact of my slap.
“I won’t explain shit to you because you don’t deserve it” I speak and turn to leave the place.
I reach the end of the basement door to unlock it and feel a gentle touch on my wrist. Unlike other times his hold is gentle because he wants to apologize and not confront me.
Even if this relationship doesn’t work I am sure that by the end of it I can write an entire book on male behavior, manipulation, and apologies.
101 ways to identify appropriates and the in appropriates about men and dodge them featuring Aaradhya Malhotra.
After my parent’s behavior and their demise this is the first time I am hurt by someone’s approach and behavior towards me.
“Wait I don’t know what came over me but I can explain” he says a pathetic attempt of damage control.
“Please don’t” I find myself saying in a low voice.
“That’s just going to make this worse for me” I murmur.
“Please just one chance and if even after that you don’t want to stay walk away from me and I promise I won’t utter a word” he requests.
He takes my silence as a cue to continue his mommy daddy or whatever issues he has.
“My dad cheated on my mom” he reveals.
Sad but how is that related me.
Let him talk.
Shut up both of you.
“Maybe he still does” he continues and I go still.
“These aren’t trust issues but just a fear of losing the person I will be with. I know I came across as really ridiculous and I apologize for my choice of words no one deserves such words no one I am really sorry” he speaks his head hung low and my both hands in his.
“I didn’t realize when my mouth started working faster than my brain. I am such a dumbass” he speaks.
Okay that’s valid and enough of a reason.
