Bad things I regret doing to my ex

Bad things I regret doing to my ex

BY PENDA HONEYGHAN 

REGRETS are a common feature of broken relationships, and sometimes once we reach a place of self-reflection after a relationship ends, there comes the need to admit what we did wrong, and seek forgiveness.

What are some of the things you’ve done in past relationships that hit way below the belt? Two men share their most cringeworthy behaviours.

Shane:

I slept with her sister. Her sister seemed more interested in me and she cared more about how I felt, or at least that’s what I thought. She, on the other hand, acted as though I was a stranger and barely wanted to touch me or interact with others around me. I also lied to her on many occasions, including when she found out about what her sister and I were doing. I should have manned up and begged for her forgiveness. I should have also told her how I felt about her not showing me affection. They both ended up leaving me. Turns out the sister had another man and she just wanted her experience with me because my girl told her how much of a tiger I am in bed.

Craig:

I told my girl I was going to Canada when I was going to the country to stay with my family. I even used calling apps to call so I seemed to have a foreign number. Turns out one day we had to bring produce to the market with an uncle. The devil is very strong because I don’t usually do that work, plus my girl wasn’t supposed to be at the market. Anyway, as I busied myself through the market with a small carton of produce in hand selling and shouting, trying to mimic loud mouth sellers, I walked straight into my girl and a friend of hers. Of course she was upset, very upset, and her friend quickly spread the news of my lies. They not only mocked me, but they kept mocking her about green cards and other things. I have never forgiven myself for that reduction to lies.
