My first girlfriend was kinda unstable. Wouldn't let me talk to my friends and would show up crying hysterically in school. One time threatened to cut her throat open in front of me with a pair of scissors while sobbing in chemistry class. In front of my chemistry teacher. Got sent home and narrowly avoided the mental hospital because her dad was a volunteer firefighter and gave advice on how to answer the questions. Would frequently break down crying out of nowhere on the way home from good dates.

Found out she lied to me pretty continuously. Would tell me she was in one place, was actually in another like 2 times a week. Told me she'd only slept with one ex boyfriend, over the course of the relationship figured out inconsistencies and got admissions one by one that she'd slept with like 6 guys before junior year of highschool. And that she'd been doing drugs. She claims she was raped on an ATV by a guy she was dating at the time.

One day I packed up her stuff in a box and dropped it off with her mom. I've never talked about her mental health issues with anyone. From time to time I run into old friends who say they don't believe the stuff she says about me. I take that to mean she tried to trash my reputation.

The suicide threats, the lies, the dent in my bank account, reputation destruction, the sex. There's no way to get it out of my head so I just don't talk about it.
