Mark is Jezebel's most hyperbolic of headline writers, which I have been told is a reflection of his ebullient personality. Personally I would've gone with "Perfectly Good Selfie Ruined by Engine Bolt".

Oh hell yes. This is my little corner of the comments section. Found it. Easier when they're not around, caring for another adult's emotional needs, simmering resentment- we could be the same person.

Oh no, really? I remember this from you writing about it before and am sorry to hear that it stuck. The long and short of it is that this behavior means he has issues that you do not want to deal with. I know this is way easier said than done given how the feelings built up for you, but.. consider it a favor. If he…
