She Found Out Her Boyfriend Was Messaging His Ex-Girlfriend Throughout Their Entire Relationship, And His Excuse Enraged Her
If you’ve been in the dating game, you know it’s not all rainbows and sunshine. Unfortunately, there are some truly messed up people in the world, and TikToker Amy Dickinson’s (@amzdicko) crazy ex-boyfriend is one of them.
In a viral video, Amy described one of her most toxic relationships of all time. So Amy had been with this guy for a year, and he was emotionally abusive and manipulative.
“He would stop talking to me for days on end if I did something so much as smile at the wrong time during a conversation,” explained Amy.
One day, they discussed going on a beach trip during the upcoming long weekend. However, he immediately started growing uneasy and claimed he had a friend visiting that weekend.
This friend was named Sarah, and when Amy dug a little deeper, she found that he had dated Sarah before.
Apparently, his logic for not telling Amy was that his relationship with Sarah ‘didn’t count because it was very brief.’
Two weeks later, he stopped speaking to Amy out of the blue. And she couldn’t think of what she’d done wrong to deserve his silence.
“I can’t for the life of me work out what I’ve done as punishable. And normally, my response to this sort of behavior would be that I would pander to him. I would do everything in my power to try to make things right between us again,” said Amy.
But on this particular occasion, she decided to mirror his behavior to see what would happen. He had stopped speaking to her on Monday.

By Friday, they still hadn’t exchanged a single word with each other. Furthermore, they lived together in the same house!
On Friday morning, he finally spoke up as she was heading to work. He wanted some space and announced that he was going away for the weekend.
While he was gone, Amy and her sister tracked his location to see what he was up to. Then, he called her sister, asking to meet up with her, so she did.
“My ex-boyfriend claims that the meeting was to basically save our relationship. He wanted to talk to somebody close to me so that he could get advice on how to manage me because I was ‘so psychotic,'” Amy recalled.
Finally, he came home and accused Amy of having ‘incriminating messages’ on her phone with a male colleague from work. Amy only ever had one text interaction with her colleague a couple of weeks ago.
“After I had this information, I started thinking more about it, and I realized that this was the weekend that Sarah was meant to be in town, and I started wondering, did his Sydney trip have less to do with my ‘apparent incriminating messages’ and more to do with a visit to an ex-girlfriend?” said Amy.
For the first time, Amy went through his phone and discovered that he had been messaging Sarah throughout their entire relationship.
So she confronted him with the evidence, and all he had to say was that their relationship was over anyway.
This enraged Amy so much that she threw his iPad off the balcony. He then locked her outside and lit her teddy bear on fire. Amy ended up leaving him several months later.
@amzdicko When I retell this story it feels like I am recounting something that didn’t happen to me. Strangely I feel no emotion. I feel like I have created a mental block that allows me cope with the abuse I suffered throughout this relationship. Has anyone else had the same response to trauma? #trauma #survivor #narcissist #gaslighting #storytime #datingstory #exboyfriend #manipulative #manipulativeboyfriend
