I was married for about 4 years and just had a child. My wife was crying about how she felt that she wasn’t a good mom. This went on a whole week, and then Friday came along and she asked if I would stay home with the kids while she went drinking. It was 1 in the morning, and when I didn’t get a call back, I was done.

Aftermath: We fought the next few months and she kept asking if I wanted a divorce…On New Year’s Eve , I finally said, “YEP!” She only sees our child every other weekend – if it fits in to her busy schedule. What a New Year’s resolution, and I’ve never been happier!

It was over when he called me “Nancy” in bed. Nancy is not my name. It’s my mother’s.

—Not Nancy

Aftermath: It was also his ex-girlfriend’s name. I broke up with him soon after, for less creepy reasons.

It was over when I fell asleep during the three-way.

—Anonymous

Aftermath: More sleeping.

I found a compare/contrast list comparing me to his ex-girlfriend and I objectively thought she was a better choice.

—M

Aftermath: We broke up, got back together. Went through counseling. Now we’re happily married with 2 kids.

I am 48 and was dating a 55-year-old guy. I knew it was over when he told me about an 19-year-old girl that had a crush on him. He referenced a conversation he had with his friend about what he would talk with her about after sex, and he said, “Tell her to go home.”

Aftermath: It made me sick to my stomach (my daughter is only 8 years from 19) and I realized then I was not his type…and didn’t want to be.
