My Boyfriend Used Me As A Filler During His Breakup, Then Reconnected With His Ex

After six years of chasing him, James "Jamie" Dawson finally agreed to be with me. I was over the moon.

That is, until the day I overheard him talking to his mates. "You mean Mari Bennett? She’s just been my little lapdog for six years."

"She’s not bad looking, though. That’s why I didn’t ditch her. Kept her around to make Nate feel a bit jealous, remind her not to pick fights with me all the time."

The “Mari Bennett” he mentioned was me. And Nate—Natalie "Nate" Carter—was his ex-girlfriend of three years.

Jamie had clearly had a few too many drinks; his words were slurred.
