You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

My ex just recently broke up with me because of that. I stopped paying for her and stuff cuz she doesnt go to school like me and just works all day, meaning she has more money than me. So stupid. She said once that she would take me out once and then was hoping that I would forget the next day. I didn't and she was like "oh..... you wanna go out to McDonald's?" Dafuq? I took you out to Potbelly *****, ****ing cheap ass hoe lmao. Good riddance.
