My ex is a great person and I’ll always adore them. But one time in the 15 minute public transport commute between my house and our fairly closely located offices, she checked in 8 or 9 times - with selfies every time.

She was a conventionally attractive woman - we connected over personality and interests - but she’s the kind of person who gets spotted in mosh pits and invited back stage. She was a fitness model for a while and could drink for free any time she wanted to let dudes buy her drinks.

The check in every 90 seconds thing seemed to just be fucking inviting stalkers to be creepy. We had people in our social circle Who were fucking weird about wanting to fuck her and getting turned down already, and people who seemed genuinely offended that she was dating my ugly ass. It just seemed like a terrible idea.
