"Pay very careful attention to how he acts with you in front of his old lover, and how he acts with her in front of you. If he parades you around, like a trophy, or a diamond necklace, his heart is full of bitterness and an ill-will. Leave him. If he is overly affectionate with her, using her to tease and create jealousy in your brain, his heart is full of manipulation and carelessness. Leave him. He should be protective of your heart, unquestioning, and careful with hers, for he has seen how fragile it is."
