“Funky smell”
One day I realized that funky smell emanating from my husband was creamed corn.

Aftermath: Sadly, the relationship lasted ten LOOOONG years after that. I finally kicked him to the curb when he carried me across the house by my neck, in front of our child. Should’ve left when he just stunk.

“Mannequins”
He showed me his house. He had two life-size mannequins in his living room, man and woman. They were dressed in the exact outfits his parents were married in (wedding dress and military uniform). From head to toe, everything the mannequins wore on their wedding day. I thought maybe his parents had passed and he was remembering or honoring them. No, they are still alive.
—Ricky
Aftermath: That was date #2; he didn’t get to date #3. Too creepy for me.

“I absolutely detested”
I woke up, looked at my partner sitting on the edge of the bed and realized that I absolutely detested the shape of his head.
—Narie
Aftermath: It only lasted 3 months after that.

“Jean shorts”
She offered me her ex-boyfriend’s jean shorts to sleep in. Her guest room was full of her ex-boyfriend’s clothes.
—Chad
Aftermath: My first clue should have been that the guy before me abandoned an entire wardrobe to get away from this woman.
