I didn’t want to hear about it, but he kept talking, so I hung up
I knew there was something wrong with my ex-boyfriend, but I could never put a name to it. It took a little prodding to find the right name after his last debacle. The man was stupid. He didn’t have a bit of common sense in his body. Right after I broke up with him last month, he told me he was going to go out and get drunk. It devastated him. I was breaking up with him, and I wouldn’t even give him an explanation. For months, I had been telling him he was drinking too much and using too much marijuana. I knew he had a medical marijuana ID card, but I also knew he wasn’t supposed to be driving while under the influence. The night I broke up with him, he came to the house wreaking of booze and marijuana. I refused to get in the car and told him I was done. I walked back into the house and locked the door. Six weeks later, I saw him on television. The police had arrested him for reckless driving. They said he was visibly intoxicated and the smell of alcohol and marijuana was in the car. I got a phone call from him while he was in jail. He said he had been using medical marijuana, and the police had it all wrong. I didn’t want to hear about it, but he kept talking, so I hung up. Three days later, his mother called me. She said he was using medical marijuana when he walked into the courthouse, and they put him in jail. She thanked me for breaking up with him and hoped this was an excellent lesson for him.
