We celebrated his birthday per his wishes: He and his “friend” got their nipples pierced together.  While we three had martinis at our house, he leaned back and leered at us while she started playing with my hair. I felt so trapped. Later, they went to our bed together, while I stayed on the couch. The next day, as I cried my eyes out, he said I was “cool” and didn’t understand why I was so upset.

—Hershey

Aftermath: He told everybody I was mentally ill and making it all up. Fast forward to after the divorce: I don’t need anti-depressants anymore, and they’re engaged.

We’d been dating for four months… I asked him to babysit my 5-year-old son for a few hours so I could attend a class. Came home to find he’d randomly rearranged all the kitchen dishes, shrunk my sweaters in the dryer, poured chlorinated water in my fish tank, and overdosed my kid on allergy medicine “because he coughed.” He laughed at my distress, and said my life wasn’t chaotic enough.

—Better off Single

Aftermath: I asked him to leave… forgot he still had my key. Next week, I skipped a regular appointment and came home to find him hanging out in my apartment. Got the key back then.

My wife went out with a new co-worker. She came home late and drunk. We got into a fight, made up, and two days later when she went back to work she told me over the phone that she was not coming back. Married for 4 years and ended with a stranger. A week later she put a restraining order on me. I saw her with that co-worker kissing. It’s been over a year and I’m still in hell!!!

—Sunshine

Aftermath: Not the woman I knew and married. Hope they both just die and go to H*ll!!!

He dumped me for my so-called “friend” so he could get publicity for his wanna-be boy band. He came back, and I gave him another chance. That is, until he cried and whined because I wouldn’t go to church with him.

—Wicked

Aftermath: I dumped him. Months later, he tried begging me to take him back. I saw him that night with his gf. He was shocked to see me!

In high school, my “friend with benefits” emailed to say that we needed to go back to being just friends because his mom didn’t want him seeing anyone. I respected that answer and we went back to being normal friends. Two days later he’s dating someone else, a privilege he wouldn’t give me.

—Mommy Issues

Aftermath: Good friend, baaaad boyfriend material.
