We had gone on a few dates, but I made it clear that I wanted to take things slow physically, so we hadn’t done anything beyond kissing. He got too drunk to drive home one night, so I said he could stay over. The next morning, I woke up to him wide awake and dry humping me from behind.

Aftermath: I told him to leave and never talked to him again.

I rang my boyfriend up and told him I had been rushed into hospital late last night. His response? Okay.

Aftermath: He claims he was confused, not good enough. Still deciding how to break it.

I belong to a dating site that specialized in husky men. One day I was contacted by a guy who wanted to chat. I read his profile and thought he was cute, so we talked. One time I asked him what his favorite book was. The responding message started: “Wizard of Oz. I don’t know why I’m telling you this, but I was an orphan and had a very unhappy childhood.”

Aftermath: It took me 24 hours to respond. After insisting that I chat with him on Yahoo so we could talk more “intimately,” I blocked him. I was creeped out.

I’d been with this guy for 9 months or so, and things had been going downhill for a while. One day I was finally fed up, and called him to break up. He actually said, “You can’t break up with me. I won’t let you.” My response was “Well, you really have no choice in the matter. We’re done.”

Aftermath: He continued to tell people we were together, including mutual friends. They thought I was being terrible to him, even though I told them what had happened. I lost a lot of friends over the fact that he refused to believe that I had, in fact, broken up with him. But considering the guy, I’m glad I broke contact completely.

Two years in, he was living with me rent free, eating me out of house and home and was jobless. He dropped out of school to play World of Warcraft all day and pretended like he was still going to class. Eventually he began crying like a baby that his life was sh*t. A suicidal downward spiral later and I had to kick him to the curb before he took me with him.

Aftermath: I got my life back together, met a wonderful man and have been happy ever since. As for the ex, he’s still single, jobless, living with mommy and daddy and he’s almost 35.
