As a professional working online often, I have Google Alerts set up with my name as the keyword. I had been dating this guy for about a month and a half. He was super sweet, ambitious, and kind. While a friend and I set off on vacation for a week, he sent me “sweet” text messages telling me how much he “loved” me. Finally sitting down during lunch with my friend, I read my email and found a Google Alert with my name. It was a blog post from his Ex titled “Dear (My Name)” and laid out how terrible I was for dating him and what an awful person he was. He told me she was crazy and I naively trusted him.
Months later I re-check the Ex’s blog where I read he has been asking her to get back with him. Dealbreaker.
