When asked when I would be ready to start a family by my (now ex) boyfriend, I said, “I have no idea if or when I want to have a family. I have no idea if that will happen for me.” He said, “That’s a lie.” Umm…no.

Aftermath: He continually brought up the same point. I continually gave him the same answer. I hated being called a liar. We broke up.

He invited me over to watch the new “Battlestar Galactica” miniseries. After it was over, he declared that the decision to run from the Cylons was cowardly, though he acknowledged that to stay and fight meant the end of the human race. A true patriot would have fought anyway, he said. Then he informed me that the show was obviously anti-Iraq war propaganda, and that he was a fervent supporter of President George W. Bush.

Aftermath: I would have ended it right then, but felt bad because we had already purchased tickets to see the premiere of the last “Lord of the Rings” movie with mutual friends a few days later.

We were in his office when his mother stopped by, and he introduced me as “a friend.”

—MB

Aftermath: Thirty years later, he found me on Facebook and asks to meet for coffee to catch up. Catch up on what? My entire life?

He cried during the last “Lord of the Rings” movie.

—Kelly

Aftermath: He cried when I broke up with him, too.

After we  had dated for 6 months, she told me that two nights earlier she had tried anal (which she told me was never gonna happen, lol).

—Ind

Aftermath: I got in my car and left.
