As college students, we all have had at least one romance, or thought about the possibility. Many of us have also had break-ups while in college for similar reasons ” He cheated on me, he lied, my feelings aren’t involved anymore,” however, what if the reason for your breakup was not so typical. What if it was because your boyfriend turned out to be a psychopath? Movies like, The Perfect Guy and No Good Deed both depict men that are less than mentally stable. We watch the movie with our girls and think, “Wow this guy is crazy!” but we never imagine actually being involved with Mr. or Ms. Crazy.
Becoming involved with a person like this is not as uncommon as you may think. Read this story below about Lexous Knox’s psycho boyfriend.
At the beginning of the fall semester, Lexous Knox, Georgia State student and security guard, began dating a charming guy that she had so much in common with three weeks ago. They were both students at the same school and both have security guard positions, fate or what? After only two weeks of dating, he asked her to be his “official girl”. She said yes and thought nothing of it.
He began to meet her at her classes, call her non-stop and track her every move, but that’s what every boyfriend does, right? She noticed his behavior becoming more creepy.
‘When he would get angry, he would just sit there with a calm look on his face and just tap his fingers on the table. I thought that I was a bit weird.”
The day that Lexous’s boyfriend showed his true colors, is a day she will never forget.
“I was out running errands with my family on Saturday. When we got home we realized someone was in our bathroom. Me, my mom and sister ran out the house and my mom called the police. My mom’s boyfriend got his gun and stood outside the bathroom door and questioned the person in the bathroom. We came back in the house after my mom’s boyfriend realized it was my boyfriend. When I saw him, he had on my clothes; my shirt that says “I love Lexis”, and my basketball shorts. My mom’s boyfriend asked him if he stole anything and he said he made a sandwich and that was it. He wasn’t acting guilty or anything. He told the police the door was unlocked when he got to my house. He said he rode his bike from Georgia State to my house. I knew right then he wasn’t right. I was so scared and embarrassed.”
Lexous has cut all ties with this guy and she is safe, but she never thought she would ever date a guy like this.
Sometimes being cautious is not enough because people can be functioning citizens of society, then open up a bag of crazy out of nowhere. They can be sitting right next to you in class or working at the same company as you. How would you know they are crazy until you give them a chance? If you ever have suspicions about someone you are getting close to, always trust your intuition, and be cautious of who you are welcoming in your life.
