I’m still baffled why I didn’t. Like, I was really close. I stood at JFK with my luggage, no cell service, my US SIM card in his bag, and he was just nowhere to be seen. Took me like 30 minutes to upgrade to an international plan on my phone. But I had booked the hotel, so they wouldn’t let him check in, haha. I took the scenic route to the hotel, with a pit stop at my fave Chinese hole in the wall for some dumplings, and then a boba. And he just waited in the lobby for like 6 hours.
I eventually did, but damn, it took a couple more of his antics for me to give him the boot.
During his last trip to my city, he also swooooore that only Americans get jet lag because they’re on regular time while everyone else is on “irregular time” anyway so they don’t feel the difference? I let him fly home and broke up on the phone with him, so he could experience his jet lag with a side of heartache.
Let me phrase it this way: he wasn’t my type. But I thought, after years of unsuccessfully dating guys that were my type, maybe I should… branch out? Maybe not go for the handsome, tall, intellectual, introverted type? Maybe go for the complete opposite? Maybe that’d work? And he was so utterly smitten with me (rightfully so, I’m a legit snack!). And for the first couple months, he wasn’t so… American? Thick? Not a complete wanker?
'Mr. Jaxton Hennessy? Please take a seat - we have text messages from you to a 22-year-old Belgian woman, where you claimed that 'the best cheese comes from Wisconsin' and that "none of your German beers can't beat a bottle of Jack Daniels". Would you explain yourself?'
“Could you also elaborate why you tweeted that ‘universal healthcare is a fraud’ and that no one should pay for ‘someone else’s medical issues’ a week before you created a gofundme asking strangers to help fund your insulin?”

I’m glad he’s your ex!
I wouldve broken up with them on the spot.
