Probably the most harrowing date I have ever been on…

Was the one where my ex got us lost almost all the way by New York City. this was sometime in the mid 90s I would guess. Both him and I have disabilities and we don’t get out much. We were both not great with driving and directions. I had to rely on him to do most of the driving. One day I just felt like doing something different. I asked him if he knew where such and such a mall was and he said very enthusiastically, “Yeah! Let’s go!” I asked him at least three times if he knew what he was doing on how to get there. He said yes all three times. He swore to me up and down that he knew what he was doing.

Low and behold, he ended up driving all willy nilly all over the place. It was late and very dark by this point and he almost hit a divider. I knew by now that he had lied to me. I was so mad. I didn’t know where we were either except that we were going under a sign that said “New York City” so many miles. We found ourselves getting off an exit onto a long, dark straight road. I mean it was extremely dark with nothing but miles of cornfields. I said to him, “I’m really scared now.” Instead of offering me some comfort what does he do? He yells at me, “How do you think I feel?” It was always all about him and how HE was feeling.

I have to get ready for work now so I will have to continue this later.
