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!!!

We were married not quite 4 years when she started spending a lot of time “hanging out” with a coworker. I was too trusting to say anything, then she stopped coming home at night. Shortly after, she said she had feelings for him and needed time to figure things out. I held on for as long as I could, then asked for a divorce.

—Shane

Aftermath: They were together for several years and ended up getting married. On their 2nd anniversary he asked her for a divorce. I did a little dance when I found out.

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.

—Meems

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.

My boyfriend and his best friend bought the same “banana hammocks” and thought it was “normal” to wear them together at a fraternity party. Did I mention they were roommates?

—Heather

Aftermath: I later found out that he became bisexual with that roommate and now has a fat girlfriend who LOOKS like a man.

I had been taking this girl out for about 2 weeks, but didn’t make a move. On one date, she said, “You know, all my friends think we would make a cute couple.” I thought she was dropping a hint, so when I dropped her off, I told her I was really attracted to her, and that the reason I hadn’t made a move was because I really liked her & wanted to take the time to get to know her. She said, “OK, I got to go now.”

—Dennis

Aftermath: Still working on it, managed to fix the awkwardness. We going out next Tuesday. I just never met a chick who you keep taking out, she keeps saying yes, you have a good time, and she drops hints about dating, but isn’t into you.
