She wanted drama
I had been in a relationship with Helen* for nearly 2 years and everything was going as well as a world champion well digger in a regional well digging contest. Basically I was in love and was even planning how I would ask her to marry me in a couple of months.

That was until I found out she was cheating on me. She told me that she was bored with the relationship and needed something more exciting. She hadn't told me any of this before nor had she made any attempt to introduce anything new into the relationship. I was as gutted as a fish in a japanese fish gutting contest, (note to self: learn some similies). It took me a long time to get over it and I went the next few years without any serious relationships.

A while later I bumped into a mutual friend and she said that the new couple had lasted 6 months and then exploded pretty dramatically. Her new boyfriend started using her as a punching bag but she only left him after she found out that he had cheated on her.

I'm not saying that she deserved to get beaten and humiliated, but I didn't feel like a bad person for buying a celebratory round of drinks in the pub when I told my friends. It cheered me up like a cheerleader cheering... argh, forget it

*may or may not be her real name²


²it is.
