He had a temper tantrum when I wouldn’t let him get a flat screen TV. He actually said “Well fine, from now on I’m just going to say no to everything you want.” Then he refused to speak with me for the rest of the day.

Aftermath: I want a divorce, but I don’t know how to go about getting started.

While going through my texts, I realized I deleted the ones from her first because she literally never had anything interesting, funny, or even very smart to say.

Aftermath: We kept going out for about a month later, but we pretty much stopped trying after a couple weeks and had a very boring breakup. A fitting end to a similarly lackluster relationship.

A short time after moving in together, we were arguing and she flipped over a bucket full of Pine Sol water I was holding, getting it all over me and nearly ruining her loveseat. Later that day, she got in my face and clinched her fist like she was going to hit me.

Aftermath: She hit me twice … a few months later. I had just broken up with her and, from three feet away, she through her phone at my face. Then she sucker punched me while I was tending to my eye, which was closed up. We don’t speak anymore.

I graduated against the odds after the hardest year of my life (finishing my law degree from home whilst caring for terminally ill my father). Proudly, I asked my partner of 5 years to come to my graduation. He didn’t see the point in ‘celebrating me’ for a day, and when he saw how hurt I was he called me self-centered. I had to beg him to attend.

Aftermath: We broke up a week later over this and various other belittling acts. He made me believe I was insignificant and unexciting so I would just stay home with him. I took him back twice more after he promised that he would change. Three months and a lot of empty promises later, I left him for good. I feel like me again.

My on-again, off-again boyfriend and I were discussing our relationship and love. I told him that I felt I deserved love in my life and that I think most people deserve to be loved. His response was “What makes you deserve love?…What makes you think you are special?”

Aftermath: I moved on without his knowledge and now he tries to tell me he loves me. What makes him deserve my love? What makes him special?
