"I've been seeing this guy for the last two months. The other day, I found out that he was posted about in a social media group, and I found out by lots of my friends texting me to tell me what had happened. The comments were horrific, saying that he was well known for using cocaine and cheating on ex-girlfriends. I didn't want to believe it but some girls shared screenshots of what he was sending them as recently as the last couple of weeks."
"We had spoken about not seeing other people so I thought that we were in an exclusive relationship. I blocked him straight away and I'm sure he knows that he was posted as we have lots of mutual friends. I don't like drugs at all and I really don't like cheaters as I was cheated on before. I feel so humiliated that this was all so public. So many of my friends know about it all and now he and his friends also know, not to mention anyone who saw the posts online."
