She Had To Change Her Number, Quit Her Job, And Move To A Different City After Her Ex-Boyfriend Threatened Her
Unfortunately, many people find themselves in a relationship where the person they’ve been dating reveals their true colors later on.
One woman started dating a guy whose personality changed about three weeks in. When she told him a story about a guy flirting with her in class, he reacted in a way that really freaked her out.
She was in her 20s, finishing college classes and working as a receptionist in a city. One day, one of the guys that worked there told her his client was interested in her and wanted her number. She said yes, and agreed to a dinner date with his client.
He was seven years older than her, but she didn’t mind the age gap because her parents had a similar gap.
He worked in the medical field and was fairly charming on their date. They shared their life stories, and he admired hers because he had a very different childhood.
That night, she discovered he was adopted as a baby, and his adoptive father was abusive. His mom left home when he was only 15, and he was kicked out three years later. When he was in his 20s, he was in a terrible car accident and spent years living at a family member’s house so he could work and get his act together.
“Yeah, heavy conversation on the first date,” she said. “But all I felt was this overwhelming compassion for this poor human who had been through so much.”
Despite his past, she thought he was smart, handsome, and nice, so she continued to date him.
Unfortunately, three weeks into their relationship, he started to change, and his behavior became strange.

Throughout their relationship, he always said he refused to introduce her to any of his friends because he lost his previous girlfriend to one of his guy friends.
When he found out she had guy friends, he hated it and often asked her to show him what she was texting them.
As scary as that is, she would still find excuses to defend him and thought he needed more time to heal.
He also started becoming very critical of her appearance, how she spoke, and how she dressed. One time when they were arguing, he made a comment about killing her, and somehow that wasn’t what made her break up with him.
“Red flags [were] everywhere, but though it might be hard to believe, I was actually convinced I was falling in love with him,” she recalled. “Most of the time, he was perfect until he wasn’t.”
Things came to a head when she told him what she thought was a funny story about a guy who asked for her phone number in one of her college classes. The guy had asked her, pretending he needed it for class notes, so she gave him her college email address instead and told him she had a boyfriend.
She thought the story was funny because, at the end of class, she saw the guy throw out the piece of paper she had written her email on. However, her boyfriend didn’t find it funny at all.
“He accused me of leading the guy on, accused me of wanting to cheat,” she said.
“I was furious because I knew I had done nothing wrong. When he angrily threw a mug at the wall, which shattered, the whole argument came to an abrupt halt. I was scared and angry, so I grabbed my bag and bolted out of his apartment.”
She lived with her older cousin then, who encouraged her to break all contact with this guy. She finally realized how toxic the relationship was and heeded her cousin’s advice. However, her ex still spammed her with tons of text messages saying how sorry he was.
A few days later, while commuting home from work, she was on her daily walk to the local train station and felt the sudden urge to turn around. She saw her ex following her, looking disheveled and out of it. She waited for him at the train station, where she would try and talk to him privately.
When he approached her, she expected him to apologize. But once he was standing in front of her, all he did was creepily say her name and show that he had a small knife in his pocket. She was terrified by his threat and stood there, unable to move for a moment.
Finally, he simply turned around and walked away without saying another word. She was stunned from that moment on and decided to do whatever she could to escape her ex. Once she made it to her cousin’s, they called the police. She quit her job, changed her number, and eventually moved to a different city.
In a way, she’s thankful for the guy who hit on her in class. Although it led to a traumatic breakup, it was a breakup that potentially saved her life.
