The Sunday Confessional: The Crystal Heist


It's Sunday morning, dear readers, and Appreciative Reader needs a compassionate ear. Gabby is listening...

Dear Gabby,

I'm glad I'm not the only one out there! I never told anyone but the last time my boyfriend threatened to break up with me, I took one of his cherished Steuben crystal wine goblets. I had never done anything like that before. I never even thought of anything like that before. I just went for one of the things that I knew meant a lot to him. I was angry. His threats were more and more frequent and I just came to the end of my rope, I guess. But I knew at the time I was doing something bad so I took the one with a small chip in the base.

A few weeks later, he dumped me in an email. Now I wish I would have packed up all six of the set and hauled them away forever!

Okay. Please keep this anonymous. Thank you.

An appreciative reader.

There now. Feel better? (Gabby wishes you would have taken all six, too!) Thanks for sharing, AR.


Neeeext?

Wonderful to know I'm not alone in the "take something from the man I once loved before he revealed his total asshole side" club.

There's the catch: either we give them time to show their 'asshole side' (as you so delicately put it) before we fall in love or we risk becoming petty thieves. Not really a tough choice when you step back and look at it outside of the 'in love' rush.

(But really, petty thievery is a small price to pay, wouldn't you say?)
