He made fun of my friend for her hair loss. She was going through chemo at the time.

“Chivalry”

manners

Second date, bill came. I offered to split the bill and he told me I should pay since he got the first date. So much for chivalry.

—Sara

Aftermath: He tried to make-out with me after that. Denied! I ignored the next two weeks of phone calls and texts.

“A Stretch”

best of manners

A month into the relationship, we went to the pool and afterward he asked me why I had stretch marks. I said, I was probably 40 pounds heavier before he knew me. He proceeded with the question, “Did you have a baby? You had a baby, that’s why you have stretch marks.”

–Kat

Aftermath: I was 17. I was not pregnant, I was just fat. I dumped him a few days later. He broke into my house to watch me sleep and profess that we were meant to be together. I got a restraining order because he started to stalk me.

“Subtitles”

I knew it was over when his mom started speaking to him in Russian and he answered back in Russian–leaving me totally out of the loop and standing around like an idiot.

–Kat

Aftermath: We broke up. No subtitles required.

“Grandmother”

manners

My grandmother had learned that she had lung cancer. My boyfriend at the time was upset because he booked us a cruise months before, but I had to cancel because I wanted to be with my dying grandmother. He was all mad at me, and I broke up with him because he was being selfish.

Aftermath: It was over before my grandmother passed away weeks later. He was very selfish, and was only looking for a booty call. He never supported me throughout the pain of sorrow.
