Ex Boyfriend Quotes

“If a man, who says he loves you, won’t tell you the details of a private conversation between him and another woman you can be sure he is not protecting your heart.

and my mind along with them.

I must go now
and I urge you not to look back.”

“The most important thing you can do in a relationship is to not lie to yourself. Have the courage to act on those gut feelings. If you think he is cheating then he probably is.

Have the self respect to see your relationship honestly and not how you wish it was.”

“Daisy! How nice to see you." Madison's voice grated over her nerves, pulling her out of the moment. Her defenses slammed back into place and she jerked away.
"Madison." Turning, Daisy forced a smile and slid one arm around Liam's waist. He was broad and solid and mouthwateringly hard, like he spent his days pumping weights in the gym. "Nice to see you, too."
"We're together." Liam slid his arm around Daisy's shoulder and pulled her to his side.
"You're with him?" Orson's bushy eyebrows flew up like two dancing caterpillars.
"Oh, Orson." Daisy leaned into Liam's side, feigning surprise. "I didn't see you hiding there behind Madison."
She made the introductions. Orson glared as he shook Liam's hand. Madison was too busy checking Liam out to notice that her new boyfriend had spiked a jealousy fever.”

"You haven't. You're still a conniving dickhead," I said with a sneer.”
