Bobby: Tinder got me into this mess. By damn, Tinder’s going to get me out of it. But seriously, Bobby’s got a chill outlook. Cool adventure.


LameBMX

Yep, Bobby is living life.


Black-Rozes

hoping ppl catch that reference


LameBMX

I must have made it subconsciously, because I didn't catch that reference.


bmcmore

Damn it, bobby


LameBMX

Ahhh, now I get my own reference. Thanks human!


WCPitt

Bobby's story reminds me of a story of my own from 5 years ago. I can confirm it was the worst two weeks of my life. **Long story time:** When I was 21, I dated this girl I met at the bar I bartended. I was head over heels for her, which led to me getting hurt on repeat cause we broke up and she turned into a pretty big hoe. She'd lead me on and give me false hope, and although I had my fair share of hoeing around as well, her and I would inevitably end up hooking up every weekend when we were both drunk (which also wasn't good for my feelings). I met someone else and stopped talking/seeing her, and of course, this is when she "realized" she was still into me. A few months go by and I become single again, and at this point, the initial girl is in Hilton Head, SC for an internship and I'm pretty down bad, so I message her after not speaking to her for quite some time. (For context, the initial area is like 12 hours north of SC by car) She invites me down for a week, saying we'll rekindle our relationship and all that, so I book a round trip for 10 days. Everything is going great via text and trip time comes around, she tells me she'll be at the airport to pick me up. When I get in her car, I can immediately tell something is off... We get back to her place and guess who I meet? Her boyfriend. Things alllllll went downhill from here. The first night alone was rough. We all went out to bars together and we end up losing her. Turns out she snuck off with a bouncer to hook up. I'm standing there at 3 AM, stranded, when the bars are now closed with no idea how to get back to her place and guess who miraculously finds me? Her boyfriend. He didn't really have any context to who I was or why I was there, so we had a long talk while he drove me back to her crib. He was actually a really, really awesome dude. He was furious with what she did to the both of us and ended up dumping her that very might. After that night, It was incredibly awkward between her and I, as I obviously had to sleep on her couch when she had three roommates who didn't even know about me (nor that I was coming down for 10 days). I was pretty upset and she "didn't believe I'd actually come". She tried some weird shit, like when it was just her and I there, she'd get naked and say she was gonna shower, making it painfully obvious she was trying to get me to join her. At one point she straight up asked me if I wanted to touch her boobs (???) I ended up reaching my boiling point by the fourth day, so I asked her now ex-boyfriend to give me a ride to the airport (because she refused, as she "wanted to make things right"). But wait, it gets worse. I was pretty broke so I just had to suck it up and deal with the fact that I'd be sitting in an airport for 6 days or whatever since I couldn't afford to get a closer flight. After 5 loooong, painful days of doing nothing, with *only* a burger king to eat at, 20 minutes before boarding, the flight was canceled due to weather and the next available flight was 5 days later. **Worst 10 days of my life.** Ended up blocking her then and there and before she returned to the area, I moved two hours south to start college myself. Ended up going back up over last summer to see some friends and ran into her on the bar strip. She came up to me and acted like nothing bad ever happened between us and offered me coke. Took a couple grams from her and left her in the bathroom. Haven't seen her since, hoping it stays that way.


mrrooftops

At first, she had all the cues of a narcissist - but later in your story, she's downright sociopathic/psychopathic.


WCPitt

I'd definitely agree with that, she is the perfect candidate for sociopathy. It's unfortunate that she's incredibly attractive, I doubt I'm the only guy she's used that way. I think I'm just attracted to toxic girls. At 19, I dated "that girl" from high school that everyone found attractive. I moved down the street from her and never had the nerve to talk to her but I befriended her brother and it ended up being his idea to introduce us. That was the first time I was in love, and it was going great and she was pretty much spending every night at my place at this point. We had a falling out one night and she went upstairs to try and fuck my cousin (pretty much a brother, lived with me since birth). He kicked her out and she blew up my phone talking about the amount of dudes she fucked without me noticing. Side story: One time she was sloshed when we were all at the beach and tried giving me a handy in the car on the way home, but her brother was in the backseat. and I was the driver. I kept trying to get her to stop and she eventually whisper-threatened me if I didn't let it happen. I probably should've known at that point that she was manipulative/toxic... love makes you blind, eh? We ended up going to a Mongolian place and he threw a punch at me in the parking lot for that. Fun stuff.


mrrooftops

Sex makes you blind. The sex with a cluster b person is amazing. But that's their way of controlling. They don't feel intimacy with it, just excitement. And that means that the man can be interchangeable. you were just a cock.


Tricky-Pea9011

And this is where I chime in. By now you should realise all these super hot babes get everything they want as they are "babes" and generally go for the less attractive type so they can con them out of there money via shopping hair ect. Beauty starts from the heart and anything else is a bonus. In time you will meet the right one for you. You learned a very valuable lesson.


LSden44ev4

I have a similar story. Right before I left for college I was seeing this girl and I really liked her. She was going somewhere else so we knew it was likely going to end, but i definitely had feelings. The night before my flight she said she had to meet her ex as a goodbye before she left. She missed my entire going away party to meet with the ex. I had a pretty early flight, like 7 am and she then drove all the way to the airport to apologize but admitted to kissing her ex. I told her she was crazy if she thought i would accept her apology. over the course of the first semester in college she kept apologizing and trying to make things right over long distance. i finally caved and bought a ticket to see her over thanksgiving. I show up and book a tiny room in a shitty hotel because I was a broke college student. She hangs out with me but I can tell something is off. Finally, her best friend tells me she’s had a boyfriend all along. I confront her and she admits it. So I stayed in a shitty hotel room in a shithole town in Arkansas for like 3 days. She didn’t even agree to drive me back to the airport at the end of my stay. Fortunately her best friend gave me a ride. I ended up getting revenge by making out with her best friend as she was dropping me off. Then when she found out she has the nerve to call me and get pissed that I had made out with her best friend, even though she had a fucking boyfriend the whole time.


WCPitt

Man, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I think, at the very least, it gives you a sense of what type of girl you want to be with or not want to be with. Gives you higher standards and self-worth. I think you're a beast for making out with her best friend, sounds like she belongs to the streets.

[удалено]


LSden44ev4

Honestly, I think it was kind of a pity make out session. Lol. I think she felt bad that I had flown across the country to see a girl who had a boyfriend the entire time and just failed to tell me.


xX7NotASquash7Xx

Damn that’s crazy


LoganCaleSalad

Goddamn this whole thread is full of stories like this & here little old me has never dated a toxic person like this in my life. Well at least not until I graduated college but never put up with for very long, once I saw their true face I bounced. Actually caused me to swear off dating for 3 whole years then 5 years ago met my girls at the gym & it's been awesome ever since. Sad that 27 yo have more grace, maturity, & emotional intelligence than anyone I've dated my own age in last 15 yrs. Have faith my dudes there are good ones still out there you just gotta wade through the sewage to find them. Probably not gonna find them on the apps though.


PointOfTheJoke

I love that last paragraph so much for you. Cheers mate!


mparrish6001

Hold on, you stayed at an airport for 10 fucking days?


WCPitt

Yep, figured I could handle the initial 5 cause they seemed better than being at her crib, but then a tornado or hurricane warning (I forget which now) put all flights on hold for a while. I was flying frontier cause broke college status, so the next flight they'd give me a voucher for was 5 days later.


BigGMonE

Okay so I have to tell this story because as hateful as it was I’m still proud of myself. Btw this will be a LONG STORY So my first real relationship after the first time I had gotten my heart broken was with a woman I had known since I was a teenager. We were together around a year when she moved into my house which I owned (not paid off though), and I proposed to her. She then tells me her credit is horrible from when she was younger and just ran it up shopping and she’s worried it will affect our life together so she wants to fix her credit before we get married. So three months down the road I get an offer through work to go out of state for six weeks on a job and make incredible money. So we talk and decide I will pay off all her debt with this job and she’ll come see me in Kentucky on the weekends since I would only have Sundays off over the six weeks. So first few weekends are normal, we have a ton of sex and go around the town I was in on Sundays but the last two weekends something seemed off. I decide it’s just me being in my own head from being away for so long and when I return I pay off ALL of her debt. As soon as the payments clear she tells me she started sleeping with her best friends brother who had just gotten out of prison the last two weeks I was out of town and that it was my fault for making her lonely by working so much. So I leave her and throw her out. Fast forward another three or four months and I’m out of town in northern Michigan (I live in southeast Michigan) and she calls me to tell me again how big a mistake she made and that she’s so sorry and just wants to get back together. (This had become a regular thing for her every time she drank even though she was still with prison boy) So the second to last day of the job I tell her I’ll come get her and she can stay at my hotel with me until the job is done so we can talk and figure things out. I go pick her up and can tell she has snuck out and PB has no idea that she’s going with me. So I take her back to the hotel and that night act as though I want to work things out. I go to work the next day and finish the job, come back to the hotel and tell her that there’s about three days left on the job. That night we have sex ( I obviously wear a condom) and after she falls asleep I pack my stuff and take it quietly to the car. Around 6 a.m. I wake up and leave the hotel solo to drive home, in the process I leave her stranded at the hotel that she has to be out of by noon with a note telling her I would never trust her again and that she should not trust me unless she planned on reimbursing me the $12k I put out to pay off her debt. I then send her boyfriend PB a message on FB letting him know where he can pick her up at and that she needed to be out of the hotel by noon. In my defense I did leave her $20 so she could get something to eat 😂. But I always smile when I think about what must have been going through her head when she woke up that morning.


TheMmaMagician

Literally the plot to a shitty movie.


swiss_smegma

Smashed and using the smashee’s hotel room to try to smash again. What a legend.


Difficult_Hedgehog47

He scored twice against Benfica tonight, but I'm sure he'll be scoring more in DC this week! Go on Bobby!!


molotov_cockteaze

I don’t know Bobby, I live on the opposite coast, but I’m already in love with Bobby.


No_Introduction8285

With a name like yours, maybe he's safer on the opposite coast!


Obligation_Guilty

Hahaha Bobby flays life🤙


ElementShow

He is up for adventures at least... Or maybe not anymore.


HighOnGoofballs

Got laid and now has a few days to chill in a fun city I call that a win


1dayAwayagain

And not have to pay for the room. Definitely a win.


Desertbro

Dungeon Raid the mini fridge


AMeNtIVe

He smashed and now has a free room for a week in a great city. Win win. Only downside I can see is he has to eat out for all his meals, but hey just treat it life a vacation.


whocaresaboutmyname

Could he charge room service to the room? If so it's almost the perfect vacation.


[deleted]

seems kinda shitty. yeah the woman fucked him over but doesnt mean he should get her in trouble w her company when they know she’s not there anymore


rk3ww

Her company payed for it. I have tripled my hotel bills when the company foots the bill. Travel perks.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> Her company *paid* for it. FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


FriendlyMan3214

Ok who ran into someone spelling paid wrong so much that they wrote a bot because of it


Dan_Berg

This is the fourth time I've seen it today so it's needed apparently


spicerldn

I see it constantly on Reddit, along with alot instead of a lot, and then instead of than.


diags_1

wait who spelled payed wrong


ihatefez

That's a helluva bot. Neat!


spicerldn

I love this bot!


Compassionate_Sniper

No ethical excuse for deliberately doing something that could be detrimental to someone’s livelihood. Not only is that narcissistic and void of integrity, but it’s totally uncalled for- especially if she either trusted you or was naïve enough to leave you there.


[deleted]

> he has to eat out Well yeah, that’s why OP is letting the ladies know


Supermalt418

I mean if the company paid for the room surely the food is on too

It’ll be on her. They literally don’t know he exists…

You’ve gotta eat. Stop spending your per diem at Dan Flashes


[deleted]

They have a shirt that costs $1,000 dollars down there. Crazy patterns…


[deleted]

Yeah, but it isn't his company so I'm sure he won't lose sleep over it.


Steezle

Let’s be real. You knew what you were doing. Lol


PayTheTrollToll45

Do people really have this hard of a time entertaining themselves? I would have a great time... I’d join a free trial at a gym for the week, live in my hotel and do whatever.


ArethereWaffles

Woah woah hold on, I don't think even a fortune 500 could afford to pay for all the stuff in a hotel mini fridge, especially in the DC area.


Zen_Satori

Yea are we supposed to feel sorry for him??? Seems like he won and is gonna win some more lol


Mr_midnightmare

Yeah, I'd be happy knowing I don't have to pay for the room, just for the hookup to be a total bust. I'm happy for this guy, but sad that he just got left for an ex. My man deserves some praise for actually doing it, I wouldn't have made a trip like that, that takes some balls. I hope he finds someone who'll definitely treat him better. If a man is willing to go that far just to see someone, then idk what is.


[deleted]

And met a real human on tinder who didn’t ghost him. Dudes bad week is better than 99.9 percent of my entire life.


ncurry18

Also lots of really cool stuff to do for free in DC. Easily a win.


Wrecked--Em

Yeah I'd spend that whole week in museums.


Tech-Fonzie

I had this happen to me once in Vancouver. Although in my case, she took a chartered flight back to the island. Something big happened to her kiddo. But yea, talk about an adventure.


antiqua_lumina

How sure are we that they’re not going to ask for payment on his way out?


1dayAwayagain

It's likely they won't. Corporate accounts don't typically jump through hoops to try and recover a few hundred / thousand dollars.


elementmg

Just walk out. They'll charge the card on file


IHSV1855

No person has ever ordered more room service than Bobby is about to order.


Jlindahl93

In a city with a plethora of free amazing cool shit. Some of the most fun in DC is free and public transit is fantastic. One of the better places you can get stranded alone.


BotGirlFall

You can spend a whole day just in the museums. Great seafood over there too, Id low key be kind of happy my date bailed one and left me in a free hotel roo.


Jlindahl93

A day is on the light side. I could easily plan 5 days worth of museums and sights in DC

It's kinda crazy walking into the Smithsonian and you can just go anywhere. Best museum in the country and it's completely free.

ispls

The Air and Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy center is open and is awesome. It’s a bit far from downtown but it is so worth it, probably my favorite Smithsonian.


Butterballl

Just moved from there and I always hated the constant drone of ice cream truck music that permeated around the mall, other than that, great city with tons to do if you know the right spots and aren’t on a super tight budget.


[deleted]

I did noticed the ice cream trucks out numbered the other food trucks


DoYouEvenCareAboutMe

>Metro is consistent You must have gotten insanely lucky. I have to wait up to 20 minutes for a train during the day sometimes. My 30 minute commute can take an hour if I barely miss the train.


natefreight

I’m pretty confident I could kill a whole day in any major city in the US and not get bored. Exploring a new city by myself? Sounds kinda perfect.


KingQuesarito

Just don’t end up in SE


AmalioGaming

SE stands for? Seattle? Visited a couple of cities while on a trip to the US a few years back. Seattle was by far my favorite. Had that big city & maritime vibe to it while being much cleaner than San Francisco or New York. I'm assuming you're talking about a different SE?


soxandpatriots1

DC is often referenced by its quadrants, so they're probably referring to Southeast DC. That area of DC is less touristy and has a reputation (at least in the past) for having a higher crime rate.


noworries_13

Best part of DC is the church's chicken on Minnesota.


mistersmiley318

Southeast DC. DC's divided into quadrants based on relation to the Capitol and SE incorporates most of the east side of the Anacostia. That part of town has suffered from disinvestment and crime for decades due to a multitude of reasons, though a lot of people do exaggerate how bad it is. There's stuff to do over there, but it's not really as touristy as the other side of DC.


thekarmabum

Seattle is pretty cool, I live here now and I like it. It's not for everyone though, you really need to learn how to say no // ignore homeless people out here because they are pushy as fuck.


SpaceHallow

Exactly what I came here to say! This dude got hooked up with a free vacation, chill date and got laid on top of it.


badnewsbeers86

Interesting how a quick reframe turns this into an awesome opportunity and great story. Come reframe my life for me.


PM_me_spare_change

Surely they matched in Orlando, where they’re from? And he’s just on vacation?


staerne

OP probably realized she’s not over her ex and bailed


flsingleguy

Maybe she doesn’t want to wake up in the tub full of ice and a missing kidney.


MyBoldestStroke

Like we’re just supposed to *trust* Bobby’s account on this?? How do we *know* the OG tinder date made it back to the ex? How can we be sure Bobby didn’t get too excited and accidentally stole her kidney on the first night and now has to find new kidneys for the remaining nights in DC??


TheThankUMan22

You know that has never happened right? And in the myth it was a guy in the tub.


theLPguy

Sounds like something a kidney trafficker would say


Mike

I don’t understand why you’re trying to ruin things for people like us who actually have to traffic kidneys for a living. Like, can’t you just let us live in peace? I don’t try to disgrace your line of work. Think about the people you’re affecting. I’ve been in therapy for years from the humiliation I’ve internalized from people who shame organ harvesters like we’re some sort of bad guy.


atticus__

With the name Mike I knew this was going to be an old account, but damn 16 years is like literally the beginning of Reddit.


wash_ur_bellybutton

Mike. Mike Idney. Probably the original organ trafficker.


theLPguy

Well done 🤝


Fr33Flow

Then get off tinder?


flsingleguy

I am not on Tinder just this Reddit.


dr_noiiz

Honestly what I was thinking -- why did OP post it with that title almost seems like THEY didn't invite this poor guy for a drink


nullstring

*Plot twist* Bobby posted this onto Reddit himself.


AlwaysTheNoob

Because OP is currently flying back to Orlando to be with her ex.


HTGeorgeForeman

They could be a match from before he left, so in orlando


steepledclock

The only answer that makes sense, but of course there are 3 guys above it criticizing OP for "not having a drink with him."

Could have been worse; could have been texting that from a tub of ice missing a kidney.


drewhead118

The tub of ice really shows dedication and going that extra mile for customer service. When I was kidnapped and organ harvested, I got nothing more than a bean bag chair and a lone ice pack on my lap


BotGirlFall

They gave me a bag of peas then came back and said they needed a cup of them out of the bag for stew later. I didnt even get invited over for the stew


KekeroniCheese

That's absolutely classic. I bet you used the remaining peas to make a strengthening tagine.


weaselg2010

I'm surprised the missing kidney joke is still getting this many upvotes. It's literally on every post where two people agree to meet up.


ContemplatingPrison

Yeah that sounds great. A free hotel room for a week in a new city and they WFH so they can go anywhere and work that has internet more than likely.


oopswhatsmyoldlogin

As someone else in DC...probably one of the less out there Tinder messages I have seen.

He's also in a hotel room HER company paid for. Time to get minibar wasted. I actually think this may be a lie because no one would leave someone they just met, jilted, in a room your employer is covering. Sounds like a really easy way to get fired.

josh8far

And we’re having the best weather you could ask for


taH_pagh_taHbe

What would you recommend doing on a Sunday (cant drive)? I've found things close pretty early from my limited google search. I'm flying there in a couple of weeks as a stopover, landing 11am on a Sunday and flying out the following morning.


sxan

Most of DC can be seen without a car. The monuments and war memorials are all outside and don't close, and it takes a fair bit of time to walk the entire area from the Library of Congress to the Lincoln Memorial, and if you swing by the White House it's even longer. That's all The Mall, and it's all open. You could spend the better part of a day outside, walking around, looking at stuff; especially if you stop and spend any time at any of the memorials. I'm not a native - we just lived a couple of hours away for a few years and visited a handful of times, and I'm not an expert on the hours. I'd check the hours of the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian, of course, and there are other museums other than the Smithsonian that may have other hours - its a very compact city, and much of this is within 10 blocks of the Mall. There's a Madam Tussauds in DC, too. Your hotel will probably have a city guide with the main points on it; I think the city prints them and gives them to the hotels. Unless there's a specific Smithsonian museum you want to see, I'd honestly just grab one of the hotel maps and head to the Mall. Oh, if you want to get into, eg, the Aeronautics museum, I'd get up at the buttcrack of dawn and go stand in line. Some of the museums are super popular and hard to get into, and you could spend the morning in line. Also, don't bring anything with a blade (like, even a nail-cutter) because they won't let you in with it, and they won't give it back if they take it.

DeadLikeYou

I think you are missing the point. Hes looking for a date, not a tour guide.


sxan

Who needs a date, when you have history?!?


DuckDuckYoga

So like outside of museums and memorials is there anything to do there?


sxan

There are good restaurants. If you mean clubs and such, I wouldn't know. I wouldn't be surprised, but i couldn't say. The Potomac is right there; you might be able to rent a kayak. If you're not into historic or educational stuff, you might be SOL.


vontade199

Boat cruises on the Potomac, a lot of embassies host international events (many open to the public), frequent music venues and good nightlife (9:30 Club and U Street Music Hall is really good) There are a ton of really good parks & nature areas for hiking. Many trails everywhere; you can also rent a bike. Within DC, Rock Creek Park is amazing. If you have a car, you can go to many more like Great Falls Park, which has cliffs & waterfalls. If you’re into shopping & stuff, Tysons Corner is one of the biggest malls on the East Coast. Bethesda is also great


LadySmuag

If you find normal museums boring, there's an immersive [Van Gogh exhibit](https://vangoghexpo.com/washington/) that is being hosted in DC right now. It's a fun time. There's some great roller skating rinks in the area if you want to be humbled. I've never gone from 'I've got some skills' to 'did that senior citizen do a backflip??' so fast in my *life.* Pretty much anything you see at the Kennedy Center is going to be great. I've attended opera performances, musicals, and a depressed clown act (Puddles Pity Party)- all excellent. In addition to the Kennedy Center, there's a lot of concert venues. I've seen some really great shows at the 9:30 Club and Comet Ping Pong. You can drop serious cash on some amazing Michelin star restaurants but also? My friends just invited me to go to some kinda viking themed drinking hall/axe throwing range. Should be a fun time, and we won't spend anywhere near as much money. On the subject of drinking, there's some great distilleries and breweries. I liked Green Hat Gin, there's a garden you can hang out in. If you like hiking, the Billy Goat Trail at Great Falls isn't too challenging but has gorgeous views. There's a 50ft scramble up a rock wall, so it's not all easy going- you don't need any special equipment but you will want good shoes and lots of water. Also. Stephanie Meyer's unpublished novel *Forever Dawn* (from the Twilight series- think sparkly vampires) was archived at the Library of Congress and you can make an appointment to go read it in person. This means nothing to 99.99% of people but I think its valuable knowledge to have in your back pocket in case you ever need a killer date idea with a certain kind of woman.

Am I the only one who thinks that it's weird that she Just Cut her Work Trip because her ex texted her? I travel quite a Lot for Work and i would never Just Go Back. If you travel somewhere for Work, you usually have Meetings and stuff. And Just in Case i would, i would make Sure to Check Out of the Hotel to Cut the Cost. A night in a decent Hotel where i usually travel is 200$+.


Suicidal_Cheezit

I’m genuinely curious why you randomly capitalize the first letter of some words?


brandymicsign

Yeah so weird


Daddytrades

It’s because she’s cheating.

This. I travel weekly and have a long itinerary to get through. I am usually making 7-8meetings per day when I book hotels. I can’t just cancel because most of them are far too important. Thinking about it, someone in my family would have to die or nearly die for me to cut things short.


DaughterOfIsis

Yeah this legitimately seems fake


LJR08

Why are u asking? U matched with him, YOU do him a favor


Timmy12er

Normally, a wall of text is a red flag. Not this time, though. Great read!

Lets say she didn't leave. Who wants to stay in a hotel room with a new person they just meet for a week?

Order as much room Service as you can Bud


yagstocks

Bobby want to hang? I live in DC


TheWontonRon

Once met a guy who flew to a different COUNTRY for a girl and 1 day in they had an argument and she left him on the side of the highway.

Going anywhere for a week with someone you dont know is a bad idea

Well tinder works in DC...


UCFknight2016

I live in Orlando too. DC has a lot of nice things to do. Last time I was up there I did a few museums and a tour of the capitol (the legal one, not the JAN 6 one)

He's married. The company isn't paying for the hotel if she cut her trip short. Nice story, though.


hiecx

Why don’t you ? Don’t let Bobby down after he shared his story with you


ender89

Wonder when they put those in, I don't remember them the last time I went, but that was probably 10 years ago.


Comedyfish_reddit

What about rather then so that: I’m here for work. But free at nights. Want to meet up. She doesn’t want your sloppy seconds mate. Or maybe she does. I haven’t dated anyone for fifteen years. (Wife wouldn’t like it)


nosweat2024

Do you still have your wallet, credit cards and are you sure the room isn’t under your name? Asking for a friend.


mostdope28

I mean sounds like a great trip so far. He hooked up with her, now has a free room in a new city to expire! I’d be exstatic


SteveDaWaiter

And your sad about this why??


DiasporaBarbie

Being with him made her realize how much she missed her ex. That’s savage
