A guy who was straight edge when we got together.

• Emotionally and physically abusive. *Cheated all the time. *Tried to make me go to my ultrasound and abortion appointment alone. *Threatened to beat the shit out of me if I didn't go through with it. *Couldn't hold a job. I paid for a lot. *Ignored me all the time to play Wow and orange box and to chat with girls online. *Kept a creepy folder of nudes from his Internet lady friends.
  *Flips out because I hung out with a guy we were friends with alone. Trashed our apartment. Sliced his chest open with a bread knife in front of me. Gets diagnosed as borderline personality disorder at the hospital. Cries and apologizes and tells me he wants to get help and turn things around. *Threatened to kill me. Held me captive in our home, held a knife to my throat a bunch of times, while he swallowed a couple of bottles of Tylonel, then sexually assaulted me, then depended on me to get him to a hospital when he started getting sick.
  *Promised to turn things around... Hyped me for weeks on taking me on a nice valentine's day, told me to get dressed really nice. We went to tubby dog.
  

Then I finally opened my eyes and got the fuck out of there. I can't explain why I didn't sooner.

THEN I watch from a distance as...

*He broke 'edge' and started drinking, smoking, got into blow, eventually ended up a meth junky *Moves back with parents. Dad pays for therapy for bpd. Guy exhausts all the opportunities given to him to gain control of his life. *Ended up a homeless, bottle picking methhead *Assaulted who knows how many more women that he dated *Went to prison for around 4 years, is now a registered sex offender *Still a junky and uses bpd as a scapegoat for his behavior.
