Yes, exFI paid for my e-ring with extra student loan funds he had sitting around because he didn't have to take as many classes. Because, obviously, an e-ring is FAR more important than financial security. And for the record, I told him about 1000000 times that he was not to pay for the e-ring with his student loans. He did it anyways.
Also, yes, he's totally the reason I had to change my telephone number. I jumped on a contract with him last year, and he got the phone in the breakup. Actually, the night we broke up he was like "Well, don't forget that you've been talking to this R guy on the PHONE THAT I BOUGHT YOU AND PAY FOR." And I was just like "bitch please, how many times have I offered to pay for part of the phone bill. We're done. Kthxbai." Well, that's how my response in my head went. IRL, I was a little nicer. Now, I have cheap service and have learned, you really do get what you pay for.
