OH MY GOD PREACH IT 🍿 👀💅

Ummm… I’m pretty sure this is romantic. If he was following her around or doing this in front of her door it’s creepy, but a guy doing something that hurts literally no one to try to romance a woman is not a creep. You are just hyper sensitive.
ummmm…..NO. it’s not romantic. not by a long shot. did you even read the article?? he’s fucking pulling this stunt SO SHE’LL SEE IT and get back with him! what makes you think she doesn’t live nearby?? in any case, he chose a public location and is literally trying to use social media to pressure/manipulate her into changing her mind. and he has the audacity to call that love. fuck. that. shit. not to mention that they were literally together 4 months. 4. months. does that sound like healthy behavior to you????? even if they had been together a lot longer, there’s no excuse. he’s not just singing his blues in the park, he’s being obsessive and down right CREEPY and she dodged a bullet. A GIRL SHOULD BE ABLE TO BREAK UP WITH A GUY WITHOUT THIS SORT OF PUBLIC GUILT TRIPPING BULLSHIT
Yep. This is no different then him threatening to kill himself if she doesn’t take him back. It’s a guilt trip. Plain and simple. Guilt trips are *not* sexy or romantic at all. She broke up with him for a reason, she shouldn’t be made to feel guilty about it. He needs to move the fuck on.
Guilt-tripping, manipulative behavior is never romantic.
Oh a God, the women who have been inculcated by sitcoms and romcoms to find this shit romantic are much more likely to end up in awful toxic relationships with a side dish of occasionally dead. It’s terrifying how much unlearning there is to do, and it falls on other women to do the unteaching. Men are shit and they ruin everything.
You know I watched this movie recently called Colossal, and I was shocked when the creepy male lead turned out to be the villain. I’m so used to male characters who behave like this character “getting the girl” and “being the hero” that it was completely shocking when the movie made this character the film’s villain.
The media spends so much time romanticizing obsessive, stalkery, controlling behavior that on the rare occasion a movie actually accurately portrays these behaviors as red flags, it’s a twist ending.
You will be pleased to know he has now stopped.
Unfortunately this isn’t because he came to his senses, it’s because one of the people living around the park where he pulled this little stunt got so pissed off with him playing at 4 in the morning they went out and punched him in the face.
So not only was he creepy enough to try and guilt his ex into taking him back, he also inconvenienced a whole bunch of innocent people and in the end it turns out that he wasn’t that committed to getting her back if one 4am punch stopped him.
Aw, a happy ending 🙂
