So Hard....
At the tender age of 16, I found myself in a rather serious relationship with a friend of a friends who, at that point, was the year above me in school. Said person (Mortlock by name), had a car (well.. he said it was a car...) and used to drive me home after evenings out to the cinema, the pub etc. More often than not these eveings ended up in a blazing argument outside my house, resulting in me being told that if I got out of the car I'd be dumped. At which point I got out of the car. Which, oddly, never worked.

Skip forward to 11 months into the relationship. A friend of mine was having a house party to celebrate her birthday. Many of my friends from school were invited, including a good friend of mine who I had a bit of a thing with around my GCSE's and had recently come out of the closet. As per ususal with house parties, the drink flowed thick and fast, I got more than a little tipsy and me and said friend ended up making out twice. The second time, unfortunately, Mortlock walked in and decked said friend. I told him there and then he was dumped. He cried, screamed and drove home drunk at 3am, only to come back 6 hours later and tell me he'd forgiven me and that he still loved me.

Skip forward another 2 months of suspicion and jealousy to his birthday/going to Uni party at a local pub. Again, the drink flowed and he was soon drunk. I, wisely, remained sober. A friend and I had arranged to meet another friend just up the road as she didn't know where the pub. I made it known where I was going and off I went. Ten seconds later, Mortlock comes pounding down the road after me, blind drunk, and starts shouting and pushing me. Cue intervention of passing police officer, after which he accuses me of calling the police on him. I tell him he's dumped, at this point my friends and I decide to go back to theirs.

He spent all night calling me and both the friends I was with and turned up outside my house the next day. I gave him back the stuff he'd left there and told him once and for all it was over.

13 months to the day after we started going out...Apparently it was my loss.

He sounds like abit of a twat,
but I don't understand why he's made to sound in the wrong for hitting a guy you're cheating on him with?

I think alot of guys would do the same if they walked in mid-tongue shuffle.

It's a fair point
you were playing away, it was a fairly legitimate way to react even if he was generally a tosser.

Was the point that,
the guy she got off with had recently come out as gay?
I'm confused about that part of the story.

I don't know,
I kind of saw it as in she had a thing with a guy who turned gay, and then proceeded to get off with him again several times while not single, but why you'd bring up him being gay is the confusing bit.

Getting off with someone who is gay does still constitute as cheating, if that was a point which was attempting to be made, and gay or not your boyfriend is well within his rights to dispense judgement - even if we all know gay people are all limp wristed pansies who drink nothing but pernod and baby-batter.

Haha
Scarus, you made me laugh out loud with the pernod and baby batter line!

It's one hell of a cocktail
I'll grant you, not sure if i'd want to order one in a club though.

Not that I'd know.

In the hope of clearing things up a little...
He *was* a bit of a twat.

Hmm... I did still have a thing for the gay guy, so it was kind of a "hmm... if I do this, maybe HE'll dump ME" thing combined with "yea... I like this guy even if he is gay".

And yea, he was completely within his rights to punch said gay guy. That wasn't really the reason for attempting to dump him, it was more that at that point I'd been trying to get rid of him for about two months.

I need to know.

No, it was a car...
Just a really rubbish one with a crappy engine that broke down all the time.

We (me, my friends, his friends... everyone who knew him) eventually came up with the theory that it was, in fact, a large motorized lawnmower with seats and a radio.

That would've been fun though... heh
