Dating A Player - BENJAMIN 17

"We started talking, and I liked her...."
I dated a pathological liar for real. Yo, this girl! When I met her, I thought she was great. We started talking, and I liked her. She told me about her life, and I told her about mine, and we connected. Everything was great, and in no time, we spent most of our time together.

"Everything is just suspicious."
One day she told me that her uncle was in town for an event and that she was meeting him in a hotel for lunch. I asked her if she wanted me to go with her, and she said she was okay with going alone. Later, she told me that this uncle's family was around, and she would spend the evening with them, possibly the night, and come back the next day. Weeks later, I saw a compromising picture of her and an older guy. I was not going through her phone, she was showing me some pictures, and then maybe she forgot, and we got to this particular one. She panicked and explained that her uncle was "just like that." He liked to take pictures with people standing very close to him. I inquired about the family she mentioned was present, and she stated that they were bonding so well that she didn't even have time to take pictures.

"I'll be a fool for you."
That was shady, but I let it go. Then, about two weeks later, she told me she was going for a sleepover at one of her friends' houses. The next day, one of my friends told me he saw my girl in a club on the outskirts of town with older men. So I decided to act a fool and asked her how the sleepover went and what they did, and all that, and she even told me a whole story of how they had fun and watched movies all night.

"OOOH"
I confronted her and told her that my friend had seen her in a club and even showed me a picture, and she responded by saying, "Oooh." She tells me they decided to step out just for a drink and then returned home. She said these older men were her dad's friends whom she ran into. If you saw the pictures and listened to her story, you would roll your eyes because it was untrue.

"I Choose Me"
So she was dating an older man and me. And I had to end the relationship because, first of all, she was lying so much. Secondly, she was sleeping with other people, and I was not about to let myself get infected with HIV or other STIs. So it was too good to be accurate, but I think lying like this in a relationship is toxic.
