I used to make excuses for my boyfriend all the time.
If he took hours to reply, I’d tell myself he was busy.
If he cancelled plans, I’d say maybe something came up.
One weekend we had plans.
He cancelled a few hours before we were supposed to meet.
I said okay, no problem.
Later that evening, I saw his story.
He was out with his friends.
I remember just staring at my phone thinking…
“You could’ve literally just told me.”
