He told me the next day he didn't want to argue with me anymore because he wanted to sleep, which is why he dumped me outside. Now, I know you guys are all gentlemen here, and my ex's actions were very un-gentleman, if you ask me. Also, a few weeks prior to him breaking up with me, I caught him getting a phone number of some girl on campus, which only added fuel to the fire. When he said "I've been wanting to break up with you for 2 years..." I felt used and violated physically, emotionally, and financially. I know, he was a loser...thats why I didn't look back when we broke up. I do consider the "slap in the face" an isolated incident, because we had no prior physical contacts before that...and I'm not one who normally loses my temper, my current boyfriend can attest to that. (Yes, my current BF is a total gentleman...after 3 years of dating, he still opens every door for me.)
Of course, I'm not justifying my actions...a slap in the face is battery...I just wanted to explain the cirsumstances a little bit more. I do consider this an isolated incident and I plan on fully disclosing it...I'm just hoping the BI will see it the way I do. I did not slap him as a solution or to cause any harm...I slapped him because it was a build up of emotions. Afterwards, we cooled off and I walked away from the relationship...I have never laid a hand on anyone before or after this time. Its not a representation of me as a person, or how I will perform on a professional level. So anyways, thats the rest of the story. Hopefully it clears things up a bit.
