Rant: The ex-boyfriend who doesn't know when to back off.

Hey everyone! This is basically a rant about a guy I dated in grade 11-12.

So I have this ex-boyfriend. He was my boyfriend for a year and half back in high school and, honestly, it wasn't a nice one. Whenever we argued, he always made me feel like it was my fault that we were arguing. He told me to stop talking to some of my friends because he didn't like them. He almost made me lose my freaking high school diploma because he plagiarised my essay (It was a psychology assignment we had to do together, but we had to write our own individual report). Like within the 1.5 years we've been together, we broke up three times (including the final one) and guess who was the one who ALWAYS initiated the break up: HIM! And guess who came crawling back: HIM!

So last year, I got so tired of the constant break ups and I've heard rumours that he was cheating on me that I was just like "Whatever. You be you and I'll be me" (*plays "Let It Go" by James Bay* 😂) and I moved overseas for university.

This year, he got a hold of me through Instagram and Snapchat. I didn't mind at first because I didn't give a care about him anymore--basically I moved on. Next thing I know, I was bombarded with messages from him. He kept telling me that he never cheated and it was only a rumour. He told me that he couldn't believe that I fell for the rumour despite what we've been through. He kept asking me personal stuff that I don't want him to know about. I got so defensive that I just straight up told him that I didn't need him to be concerned for me.

Am I just overreacting? Has anyone experience something similar? Please tell me. 😭
