One night, I was meeting my boyfriend in a hotel room he had reserved way up north. When I arrived, I noticed ties on all corners of the bed, some lube, a blindfold and a CUCUMBER! I got a little freaked out after seeing all that. Then his cell phone rang. It was his wife.

Aftermath: I have not returned any of his phone calls or text messages.

My girlfriend was pissy with me for a full week after my return from a vacation/job hunt. It turns out she was angry because I had stayed at the apartment of two girls without asking her permission. Those two girls were two of our mutual best friends. They had moved away recently, so neither of us had gotten to see them. And they were the ones who introduced us to each other a year earlier.

Aftermath: 1 more week

I found out on my birthday that he had been cheating on me for 9 months.

—Jasmine

Aftermath: Five months later, he told me he loved me and couldn’t imagine himself with anyone else. We aren’t together but we aren’t broken up.

He blew his nose at the table by sticking both fingers up his nose with the tissue and diligently circling them around for about 30 seconds while continuing to talk.

—Thank God for the Salsa

Aftermath: In the car on the way back he wanted more, but I said I wasn’t looking for anything serious and that I’d enjoy hanging out again, since he really was a sweet tool.

We had sex for the first time and he failed to climax. He suggested I give him a blowjob, but I had never done so before and it was too overwhelming. After a few failed attempts, I told him I couldn’t do it. He snapped back with “That’s what they all say!” (He told me he was a virgin) Then he suggested we have a go without the condom. I was on no form of birth control.

—Peeps

Aftermath: I broke it off with him soon after because spending time with him was too weird. Months later I asked him who were the “all” were who said these things, and he denied ever making the statement.
