I am only going to give you a few of my stories.
* The many many times I'd wake up to 15-20 missed calls + texts before 7:45am where she's insisting she needs to talk to me and subsequently break things off. The first time it legit hurt and I was confused but I started noticing a pattern. She just wanted me to sit there and beg for her not to go. By about the the sixth or seventh time this happened, I literally picked the phone up once and was like, "Hello?" Listening to her. "This sh*t again?" She goes, "I'm serious this time." "I'll talk to you later." Click and literally went back to sleep unfazed. I'd ignore her and she'd always come crawling back after a few hours. I'd sometimes continue ignoring her for days.
* Two hours before my last college final she decides she's going to go on one of her rampages and break up with me. Gee thanks! So I'm all messed up while trying to focus of the material, all I can think about during the exam is her abruptness and lack of concern for other things in my life. Like she couldn't have waited until that night? I even asked her that. "Sorry, bad timing." I decide to mentally close it off and forget about it. I then start thinking about beer and friends after and finish up this exam. I walk out of my exam and there she is. Because the class let out all at once (everyone had to wait) everyone sees it on my way out. She was just smiling and pretending nothing happened.
* At christmas we were at her relatives house way far away. I have ridden along with the immediate family. At dinner, she's a little intoxicated and grabs my phone when a text comes in from another girl. It was a mass text saying "Merry Christmas All!" She put me through the ringer right then and there, told me it was over. KEep in mind I am at her relatives house in the middle of nowhere with no way out. I am basically having a heart attack when I decide to walk outside for some fresh air. If there was ever a moment that I needed a cigarette that was it right then because I was in the middle of being traumatized and needed to chill the hell out. I was so wound up and hurting. Meanwhile she's inside getting drunk with her extended family. Then on the way home of course there's the drastic change of events in the back seat. She's cuddling, kissing and her drunk grabbing. As if the previous two hours hadn't happened at all.
* Free way incident mentioned earlier in this thread. Spitting, hitting, swearing, threatening suicide, opening the car door on the free way and just being a monster.
* Anyone ever heard of the BluffMyCall Android app? It's an app that allows you to mask your number to some other number of your choosing and call someone else making it appear to the receiving end that the call is coming from the chosen number. The girl I dated had it out for pretty blonde girls (she was a pretty brunette). She was convinced in her own mind that I was going to leave her for a "pretty blonde girl". So to test the waters, she'd look up various numbers of my facebook friends who fit the description and ghost call me from those numbers using the app. Even though sometimes I would have had no idea who the number calling was exactly, I recognized the area codes and would pick up. That's when I would get confronted and be in trouble for answering the phone even though I didn't have the number stored in my phone and had no idea who it was other than the possibility it was someone I knew. F-ed up because I wasn't the one straying ever. She was!
* Mean/sweet cycles that would become more frequent as time went along. Toward the end they were overlapping one other. There came a point where I had totally changed as a person. I was so consumed by my status with her and trying to get back to the honeymoon phase of our relationship that I had omitted everything else from my life. My heart ached from all the trauma. Little by little I had become so broken and consumed by her mood swings.
* I had never called a girl a c*nt before (or even a bitch). It is a dirty, disgusting word. But she pulled some shit one time and I was so angry that it just came out. Not to her face though. I said it completely sober to my friends. I still think it's an awful word of the english language and I haven't used it to describe anyone since. But what she did was so awful and cruel. Testament to me having done something I wouldn't normally do. She is a c*nt.
I remember when I was definitely at rock bottom with all this. And I decided that I wasn't going to put up with it anymore. I was at a gas station somewhere on a country road. She had been fighting with me over the phone. I had stopped to get a snack and a powerade. From that point forward when she got ugly and started throwing fits, I'd stop responding for the day. Cold turkey. Soon came a day where I saw the light bright and clear. I was still mentally cracked out and broken. I looked like shit and I felt like shit but I had had enough. I was still coming down from a recent fit of hers when another one started up again. That was it. Walked her to the park, talked to her until I couldn't say it any more clear. I had explained it was over probably 20+ times. She wouldn't stop. She wouldn't listen. She was going on and on and on at how fat and ugly I was (I'm not), how I couldn't make it without her, etc, etc etc. I finally started to walk away. She's walking behind me down the street begging stop-stop-stop-stop! I love you! I love you! Stop! Do you want me to hit you? By that time I was at my car door and chuckled, looked back and said, "And you wonder why this is happening?"
That was the last time I ever saw her in person. I'm glad.
I eventually received phone calls from the police and what not regarding belongings I was holding ransom apparently. You know, overnight tooth brush, a picture she gave me in a frame, a running t-shrt and a pair of underwear. You get the drift...
