I moved across the country to a city I hated with him and was stressed about finding a job. Instead of being supportive, he nagged me constantly and refused to come to community events so I could meet neighbors and network. I was so unhappy that I finally started seeing a therapist. Two weeks after we moved, he was in a minor car accident and I knew we were done when I had no desire to take care of him or be his chauffeur.

Aftermath: I ended it within a few weeks, moved back to my hometown. I’m now almost done with a Master’s Degree and couldn’t be happier being single. He just got married to the girl he started dating 1.5 months after I ended things. We don’t talk, but his friends still like me better than his new wife.

My boyfriend and his best friend bought the same “banana hammocks” and thought it was “normal” to wear them together at a fraternity party. Did I mention they were roommates?

Aftermath: I later found out that he became bisexual with that roommate and now has a fat girlfriend who LOOKS like a man.

I had been taking this girl out for about 2 weeks, but didn’t make a move. On one date, she said, “You know, all my friends think we would make a cute couple.” I thought she was dropping a hint, so when I dropped her off, I told her I was really attracted to her, and that the reason I hadn’t made a move was because I really liked her & wanted to take the time to get to know her. She said, “OK, I got to go now.”

Aftermath: Still working on it, managed to fix the awkwardness. We going out next Tuesday. I just never met a chick who you keep taking out, she keeps saying yes, you have a good time, and she drops hints about dating, but isn’t into you.

Even though he was an unemployed, recent law grad who had no actual career before, he would always correct me when I would call the condo that “he owned” an “apartment” by mistake—as if I couldn’t pickup on the concept of mommy and daddy footing the bill. He kept calling me a “nerd” about everything including having a job….and called me “old” nonstop when I was 26 and he 25.

Aftermath: I let up on the contact. My old, nerdy ass now has a boyfriend that is 2 years younger. He may rent but at least he supports himself and has more wit than simply calling me old and nerdy every 5 minutes.

My parents just carpeted our downstairs and my boyfriend at the time asked me if we had any carpet left. So I said yes and gave it to him without thinking what he needed it for. The next day he showed up to school wearing the carpet in the form of armor. And wore it for the entire day.

Aftermath: We broke up soon after this happened.
