He scolded me for not answering his call, not taking a walk at 11:00 at night, not doing his laundry or cooking dinner for him, and not letting him come over and “wear me out.” I had only known his name for 1.5 days.

Aftermath: I told him “this whole talking thing ain’t working for me.” He never called again.

It was a long-distance relationship. One summer he took me on a trip to West Virginia. We stayed in a huge cabin that he’d been to before, hiked trails he’d hiked before, and had a lot of impersonal sex. He barely talked to me the whole trip. I realized that he was trying to relive a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, who had left him over a year ago.

Aftermath: When I finally got home, I called him to dump him.

It was over when my ex-girlfriend stayed over with us and he informed her that he was breaking up with me.

Aftermath: He gave me attitude when he had to please me back in the bedroom that night and the next day I told him, “good f*in bye!” He slept with my best guy friend the day after we broke up.

I caught him trying to spy on me through my door’s peephole. I hid for awhile, but he wouldn’t go away and accused me of having someone with me. He said the police would have to escort him out ’cause he wasn’t leaving till he had answers.

Aftermath: I was scared of his craziness but followed through with my plans to end it anyway. I also made sure my peephole was not turned around for future creepers to spy.

After a four-year relationship, he gave me a toilet seat for my birthday present. He said: “I knew you needed one and I couldn’t think of what else to get you.” And he didn’t even wrap it!

Aftermath: Unfortunately, I’m reminded of him every day, actually several times a day.
