I can empathize with him, but he still sucks

My college boyfriend had a lazy eye. Literally and figuratively. His eye always drifted from the girl he was with to the girl he wanted to have. And I fell into his gaze. I should have known when he was flirting with me in an off way that you could only call mocking while he was with his current girlfriend, my classmate. I should have known that he was a woman-hater.
