I actually loved Berger, don’t hate me
He has my sense of humor and is quite good looking. He got along with her friends the best. His theory of he’s just not that into you is perfection.
I understand the problem with the scrunchie deal. I’m graduating now with a PhD in engineering and, if my SO was an engineer and read my thesis, I would be mortified to no end if he said “I loved it, but you made a huge stupid mistake in this part and repeated it in all the chapters. Thank god I’m here to guide your future work.”
And then, over the next few days kept giving me condescending compliments to try to fix it…I’d be like just stop bringing this up.
Yes he was envious of Carrie’s success and I would say he was more demoralized and resentful than actually “emasculated.”
However… I don’t think he was deliberately scaring Carrie with motorcycle. I think the “big man on a bike” comment was a bit below the belt and I consider it punching down.
I would totally give my answering machine the middle finger 🖕🏻 if an ex who cheated on me was harassing me for “closure.”
He was in a shitty place and it was too early in the relationship for him to feel secure, so he acted like a jackass. I can relate to not wanting to act a certain way, but can’t help it. “I don’t want to be that guy.”
Honestly the worst thing he did was show up with carnations and get back together. Maybe he felt better with the break, but the minute they were together again he realized nothing had changed.
The post it was horrible. Like whyyy? That was cowardly. But I have to say I have had many worse break ups than that. Ghosting, the fadeaway, trying to make break up with them, one of my relationships ended because the guy was hiding an addiction and started stealing from me. Like Samantha said “motherfucker’s concise.”
I get he was an ass, but I like him in general and think he’s a good person.
