Well, I suppose that if I didn't lead the negativity, I contributed.
But I stand by my statements. Namely because I've been in the boyfriend's position. I've been followed, accused of cheating, been forced to make all my phone calls in front of her, etc, etc. If I'd have had a cell phone, I'm sure she would have wanted to look at that too.
And it was a completely disfunctional relationship. When you're 19 and just happy to be getting laid, you might not recognize it. But when you're 20 years out and see the same scenario unfolding in front of you, it's hard to ignore.
This is not a match made in heaven. And it gets hard to be nice when you see your own past in front of you unfolding over a couple of threads.
