He Kept Testing My Love Until I Left

"My boyfriend, Ryan, loved watching me get jealous.

So he would deliberately bring other women home and praise them right in front of me, telling me how smart and beautiful they were.

He said I was terrible at hiding my feelings. The second I got jealous, it showed all over my face, and he found that hilarious.

Whenever he pushed me far enough to make my eyes turn red, he'd laugh and pull me into his arms.

“Silly. I was just messing with you.”

I believed him far too many times.

Until this time, when he brought his childhood best friend, Tessa Reed, to my birthday party.
