He comes into my house, he uses my bathroom, and then he breaks up with me. While I’m wearing this cute outfit and now I’m sitting here crying.”
Opening up through tears, she added: “I’m just wondering when this is gonna stop happening.”
As clarified in the comments, Steph had been dating this person for a few months, and they had planned to head out on a date together that evening. Unfortunately, he'd waited until she was all dressed up and ready to go before letting her know they wouldn't be takign things any further.
