This looks exactly like my ex and I, around 2006-2009. Even his face, the fedora, and the guitar are correct. Any time I mention his name, someone related to his wife harasses me. He left me to be with her, reassuring me that he never cheated on me with her, while apart. After the break up, he asked her to marry him. This was after asking me to marry him, just before our break up. I had said, “no” because I thought he was cheating. Fairly soon after the break up, they were posting wedding pictures. I ended up marrying some stranger that my friend set me up with after hearing my ex left me. This picture hurts.

It's that he's terrible at guitar and his original songs make her very uncomfortable...

Oh, funny, I looked at the photo and was like "Oh, this seems like this one artist who did stuff like that and posted on the Internet but who I lost track of" and then I realized that .. oh, yeah, that's the guy.
