My fiance is doing business with my high school bully, and I don't know what to do about it.

0:05.1

My wife, her best friend and I, went to high school together, but I ran in a very different social

0:09.9

circle. They played sports and were decently well-known and popular. I was really into art and

0:14.8

computers. I was really chubby and I had an awkward haircut. We all went to a rather large high

0:19.4

school, so it was more that I knew about them rather than knowing them personally. Back up, my wife,

0:24.2

and Daria, her best friend, have been best friends since they were really young. They both moved

0:29.0

into the same neighborhood in preschool, and their parents are very close. In high school,

0:33.3

there was this guy named Chris, who would regularly bully me. There was a name that Chris and his

0:42.4

Chris and his friends had set up, so that I would be embarrassed and they could pretend I had done

looking, wealthy, and he knew it. He walked around like he was untouchable. Insert all of the wealthy

1:06.8

athletic, good looking stereotypes that you want here. They pretty much all rang true with him.

1:11.6

I hated him and hated any time that I had to be around him. I know that a lot of people

1:16.5

faced some really violent bullying, so I don't want to make it sound like I was physically tortured,

1:21.4

but I did feel like I was relentlessly harassed. I was very thankful and excited to get out of my

1:26.2

hometown and away from those people when I went to college. I don't know if it was growing up

1:30.5

or growing into myself, the ability to reset my identity or just getting away from bullies,

1:35.5

but I really found myself in college. I'm still a bit of a nerd and artistic, but I grew into my
