Three Hundred Ways to Prove You Love Me
My girlfriend never felt safe with me. She was always testing whether I'd leave her.
We were together five years. In that time, she ran three hundred tests.
A month into the relationship, she called me drunk and said a man was harassing her at a bar.
When I got there, I found a man holding her down, kissing her.
A year and a half in, I was about to pay for my mother's surgery and found every dollar gone from my account.
After I'd scrambled and borrowed and finally covered it, my girlfriend texted me, laughing: "Congratulations. You passed."
It wasn't until our wedding day, when she walked in holding another man's hand, that something in me finally died.
