We were together for eight years. On our second wedding anniversary, he told me he was moving out and wanted a divorce. Then he asked if we could still date afterward.

—Amanda

Aftermath: The last time I voluntarily saw him was when we signed the divorce papers. Single life is hard for me, but it’s better than being married to him.

He explained that his friends at work liked to grab his “muffin top” that hangs over his jeans to tease him.

–Amy

I allowed him to take me on a few more dinner dates because he had good taste in restaurants.

Not only did he have a man purse (aka a ‘murse’), which I could have dealt with, but he also exclaimed he could foot the dinner bill because “this place is cheap.” And then as we parted, he pulled a jar of chunky peanut butter out of his murse, gave it to me, and told me, “It reminded me of you.”

—Missi

Aftermath: I tossed the peanut butter and never saw him or his murse again.

She tried to lure me to bed by dancing provocatively naked in front of me. All I could do was laugh. I realized at this point I felt no attraction for this woman.

—Henry

Aftermath: Ended officially a month later when she rang me and proceeded to verbally abuse me for 30 minutes whilst telling me I should give her a chance and did I know what I was missing?

I kept beating him in every video game we played and it really pissed him off. In the end, he tried forbidding me to play at all.

—Cecilie

Aftermath: He wanted a gamer girl and he got one. Too bad he wasn’t man enough to handle it. It ended quickly and we never spoke again.
