Not all relationships are meant to last.
In fact, not everyone should be in a relationship at all.
Here are some of the best responses:
Content note: Mentions of emotional abuse and stalking.
“She was jealous of me spending time with my sister and implied our relationship ‘wasnt normal.’
I was so grossed out by the implication and dumped her the next day.”
“I briefly dated a girl who never cleaned her adult toys.
It was all I could do to not retch.
I played it off like the batteries had died in it.”
“I showered at his place after staying over and asked for a towel.
He gave me one which had literal skin flakes on.
I asked for a clean one, and he asked what I meant.
“I told him I needed space.
I knew it was him using a spoofing app, so I blocked the number.
I was naive and lonely at that time in my life.
But this was the breaking point for me.
I dove head first into therapy and never looked back.”
“I dated a girl who always seemed really well put together.
We usually hooked up at my place.
When I finally went to her apartment, the smell was awful.
There was a super small walkway through the mounds of dirty clothes to the bathroom.
I noped the hell outta there.”
That was a MASSIVE red flag.
Years later, I still feel bad for her kids and pray everything turned out well for them.”
He kept trying to call me from jail."
“My ex used to say that she wanted to be inside my skin.
It was her way of saying she desired me, but it was off-putting.
When I asked her to stop, she couldn’t understand what was so uncomfortable about it.
Pretty soon after that, I went on a week-long work trip.
Three days in, she asked if she could see other people while I was gone.
I broke up with her pretty much instantaneously.”
“She got super drunk at my sister-in-law’s house.
“He excitedly showed me a box of things he’d been collecting from me without my knowledge.
“The swastika tattoo I found on her chest was obviously an IMMEDIATE turn-off.”
I never spoke to her again.”
“She was looking at clothes in the mall.
“We went to a restaurant, and she treated the server like absolute shit.
Yeah, that was it for me.
I suddenly had zero interest in her.”
“I went away with my ex and saw his toothbrush for the first time.
So I ended it.”
