Teenage boys can be such dicks.

He consumed my every thought in the mid-eighties. Finding my drab-wagon hitched to his shining-star, I fought a losing battle to keep him at my side. When it ended, I was crushed, blaming myself for everything, blaming him for nothing. Years later I learned about gaslighting, a term that defines my first romance.

    And teenage girls can pick some real winners. (I had several cringe-worthy romances.)

    Teenage boys can be such dicks. (And yes on the teenage girls too, alas.)

      And unfortunately, many of them grow up and continue to be dicks.

    But your last(ing) romance makes up for every dickhead you dated previously.

      Well I dated the dickhead above for so long that I really didn't have time to date many others.
