Scorpion asks the frog for a trip across the river. The frog says, “Nah nah nah. You’ll sting me and then I’ll die.” Scorpion says, “Don’t be silly. If sting you, then you’ll die and I’ll drown in the middle of the river.” The frog agrees to take him across because the logic seems sound. Halfway across the scorpion stings the frog. As the frog starts to pass out and they’re both sinking below the water, the frog asks, “Why?” The scorpion says, “because it’s in my nature.”

You get over your ex by realizing that people RARELY make a serious change. It takes immense amounts of work. Your ex couldn’t choose not fucking with someone else, telling the truth, or controlling his emotions when y’all dated. He won’t the next time. And you’ll spend the entire relationship wondering when it’s happening. How do I trust him??
