I told my boyfriend of a year that I re-enrolled to finish my degree. He said, “That’s a great idea—did you think of that yourself?” I became mute with shock at his insult, uttered in sincerity.

Aftermath: I moved across the country to finish my degree.

After 6 months of dating he was getting way too clingy. He was already talking about getting a place together and “our” future. Me, on the other hand, I was enjoying being young! If I was out with other friends he would text and/or call me the entire night. I told him that I would call him when I got home, but the texts continued. Later that night we fought about him being so attached and he decided to cheat on me the next day.

Aftermath: Needless to say, when I found out that was the end of him. I went to his house around 9 the next morning to get some stuff that I had left there and the little tramp was there. Haven’t spoke to him since.

I really liked this guy, but he moved back in with his mommy and daddy,  38 years old,  drove their vehicle, smoked a lot of dope, and was no good in bed.

Aftermath: After we broke up, I realized he wasn’t worthy of my time. A loser at his age to do the things that he did. I cheated on him and he had no damn clue! It made me feel great, to defy someone who has cheated on me.

Long distance relationship for 1.5 years. Lived together for a year and few months. I should have left when I had to sneak and take birth control pills because he had the crazy thought that if we had a baby that we would be together forever… I should have left when I had to start hiding the battery, phone and my cellphone in 3 different places at night so that he couldn’t check my cellphone to see if I was talking to other men. He had to go when he started sniffing my underwear every time I took them off.

Aftermath: After I finally got him to move out, he moved a few blocks away from where I lived. Two weeks later, a hurricane blew me to Texas and him to Georgia. After he realized that I wasn’t letting him come to Texas to be with me, he bought a house for us in Georgia that he’s still waiting for me to be a resident in….NOT!!!

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.
