My roommate is a wreck. He’s unkempt and overweight, insecure and awkward. The days he goes to work he goes in high as a kit, and on the days he takes off he’s drunk as skunk. And whenever he gets drunk, he starts blubbering about his ex.

I know his ex fairly well, as we hang out occasionally and she plays drums in my band. She’s a decent girl, HB7, a little fucked up but not to any abnormal extent, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why she did what she did to my roommate.

She dated him, obviously. He has good heart but he’s a 4 on a good day. She constantly taunted him about how she could fuck any guy she wanted, then reportedly cheated on him while they were out together with another guy in a bathroom, then broke up with him.

The breakup broke his soul. Started him down a spiral of stupidly heavy drinking, smoking, and overall bummery. He hates her with a passion, yet still loves her. He’s a goddamn mess and I think he feels, rather he knows, that, at least in the state he’s in, hell never get with anyone as hot as her again.

I just wanna know why she’d screw someone over like that. It’s seems nothing more than vindictive.
