"My now ex-boyfriend lived 20 miles from me; we would spend some nights at his place and some at mine. Thanksgiving was coming up, and we were invited to his stepsister's home along with the rest of the family. Two days before Thanksgiving, I got sick, so I did everything I could to rest up and take care of my cold, but on Thanksgiving day, it was a full-blown flu. His baby sister called me later that evening to tell me he had brought some 20-year-old girl and announced her as the love of his life. Whatever he left in my place was in a bag on the porch, and I never spoke to him again.
