WhatsApp chat of female characters from books about men

Eve

Girls!!! I need your help. I woke up passed out in a garden with a guy I’ve decided to call “my rock bottom” lolz. I think he might be a bit of a wrong'un - he’s been telling me all morning that god made me just for him and I used to be his rib. Don’t want to kink shame but WTF????

Helen of Troy

Oh no. NGL. Why is there so much drama at the moment?

Generic wife from On the Road

What has he taken? Don’t panic - has he started talking about jazz yet? 

Eve

He said a voice in his head told him that I’m not allowed to eat any apples and if I do I’ll have to leave immediately. So obviously I “accidentally” ate an apple in front of him so I could bounce but now he’s decided he’s coming too. I think he’s sobering up though because he’s just realised we’re both naked :-/

Helen of Troy

It's so annoying when guys get obsessed with you, right? I mean…I GET it…

Lucy Dracula

Sorry just seeing this lol. I thought I had bad taste in men??

Lucy Westenra

He still won’t see me during the day and only calls round at night unannounced…He can be a bit selfish in bed, I guess. He’s really into sinking his teeth into my neck and slurping my blood for hours while he lays on top of me barely moving. If I’m honest I don’t really get anything from it, but he really seems to love it and maybe if I just relaxed a bit, I’d get into it? He said other women love it? 

Eve

It's a no from me girls.

Lucy Westenra

TBH when he does leave, I mainly feel drained, exhausted and devoid of any will to live. But what can I do? All the men around him seem to really love him or want to kill him, it’s hard to tell. He says he literally needs me to live though! I know - it's so cute??!!!

Helen of Troy

Possessive guys. I get it. BELIEVE ME. I get it…

Lucy Westenra

So you guys don’t think I’m crazy?

Generic wife from On the Road

Well my moron husband and his annoying friend have gone on another trip to find themselves. He’s off to ride the rails, work on a parsnip farm, collect dog shit in Nebraska. Find the REAL AMERICA. 

Eve

But don’t you guys live in Manhattan? Doesn’t he want to be a writer???

 

Generic wife from On the Road

No silly!!! According to him - proper culture is on a peanut farm in rural Ohio that we’ve probably never even heard of - that’s where the REAL art is happening. 

Lucy Westenra Dracula

Jesus. He sounds more draining than my guy.

 

Generic wife from On the Road

If I have to listen to him try to make small talk with the gardener one more time about “the working man” or attempt to smoke a joint with the plumber, I will die from embarrassment. It’s humiliating. I mean I could maybe tolerate it if he had a job.

Lucy Westenra Dracula

Sometimes I’m worried Vlad is struggling with money because he only seems to have one outfit.

Generic wife from On the Road

I mean - he’ll be back in six months, broke, talking about some poor Mexican girl who’s the only one who gets him even though he doesn’t speak Spanish. 

Helen of Troy

Drama is the worst, right? I hate drama. You know me. Sometimes I wish I could just choose myself.

Eve

Fine. Go on Helen. How are things with you?? 

Helen of Troy

Oh no. It's so cringe. I don’t want to say.

Generic wife from On the Road

OK cool. Anyone reading any good books?

Helen of Troy

Well, it's so random and I’m so embarrassed but there are two guys who are literally so obsessed with me, they've both launched, I want to say military conflicts??? To win my hand in marriage???

Lucy Westenra Dracula has left the group

EVE

OK I’m literally hiding in a bush, naked, trying to ditch a guy who's been telling me he looks identical to god for the past hour. 

Generic wife from On the Road

WTF? How long has this been going on?

Helen of Troy

About ten years. I haven’t spoken to either of them since it started. 

 

Eve

They're at war over you but you haven’t spoken to either of them in a decade?

Helen of Troy

To be honest they mostly seem to just want to spend time with their friends wrestling, in leather loincloths, rubbing oil onto each other's groins.

Generic wife from On the Road

Both of you. Come round to mine. Bring wine. NO JAZZ RECORDS. And garlic. Just in case Lucy brings her creepy boyfriend.

Eve

He sounds like a total snake.
