I've been dumped 3 times

xxx

I’ve been broken up with three times. Each time, I felt blindsided.

The first time, I was twenty-four. He sat me down on our sofa, holding his own fingers gingerly, and I interrupted his thoughtful breakup speech to ask, “Wait. Are you gay?”

He shifted his body backwards, “What? Are you serious?”

I was totally serious, “I dunno, you’ve been partying in West Hollywood a lot lately so... I’m just, like, trying to make sense of this.”
