Well, well, well… looks like our post-op princess is in quite the predicament! After her girlfriend promised to nurse her back to health, she pulls a fast one and leaves her high and dry for a spontaneous road trip with an old pal. The nerve! But wait, it gets better (or worse?). This isn’t the first time our leading lady has been left in the lurch. Apparently, her girlfriend was about as supportive as a wet noodle when her dad passed away. Yikes. After struggling to open her pain meds for a solid 30 minutes, our girl has an epiphany: it’s time to kick this unsupportive partner to the curb! She calls in reinforcements (aka her ride-or-die bestie) to help her pack up and move on. You go, girl! Now, let’s see what the internet has to say about this wild ride…
