Wow, that is quite a story, very well written, I will say! But my heart goes out to this girl and her dating experiences. I can very well relate. I was single until I was 44. I have so many weird and distressing dating stories, but eventually found a wonderful kind, caring, gentle soul that I’ve been married to for 13 years.

Thank you so much! It really is a minefield out there. I met my first and current boyfriend at 30 and before that I had often wondered if I could ever be in a relationship with a man 😅 I mostly saw relationships around me that I never wanted to be in. As women we are taught that being in a bad relationship is still better than being single which is just not the case. But yes, it is possible to meet someone who treats you the way you deserve to be treated and we shouldn’t settle for anything less. I’m happy that you found that! ☺️

Can we refer to Harry as 'wet used tea bag'?

OBVIOUSLY. Such a good piece, although an awful story. Totally agree re: providing names before you spill the tea in public. We undercover reporters need to know these things!

Thank you! Right?! Give me the wider context and background info before you go into the most specific details.
