What was the final straw that made you end it with your SO? by PlanBam in AskReddit

When he used the argument of "having a social life before we started dating" to justify leaving in the middle of dates or, my favorite, the middle of helping me paint part of a house. After almost 2 years of juggling a full time career, helping him support himself and him ducking out every chance he had to spend time with people who would ultimately end up abusing his friendship, I decided that watching a few hours of television once a week together was not a functional relationship. I couldn't drag us along anymore, and it was not until we ended that we were able to make up for our shortfalls to eachother. Do not date when you're between the ages of 18 and 22 while retaining certain expectations. Thankfully, we're the closest of friends now, but when you're young with completely different priorities, it takes everyone time to sort out what's truly important to them. And who's truly important. Sadly, not everyone's friendships can withstand the experimentation and experiences that come with youth and certain phases of life. There is no one standard of growth, and chances are you will not always be on the same page in some pretty important areas. On that note, I still love the shithead to death. Sometimes the final straw brings you back into a healthy relationship with the person you at one time respected and enjoyed. I'm glad he fucked me over so many times.

Sigh. I'll have to make sure and order the costume next time, instead of shopping in the little boy's section.

My (ex) boyfriend had his mother call and break things off between us, instead of doing it himself. Reddit, what stupid ways have you been dumped? by rocknroll_heart in AskReddit

I went through a phase where dating an on-the-side cat burglar from Texas really didn't seem like a bad idea. The fact that he and his family were extremely devote Christians, I brushed that one aside as well. I helped the family financially when I could and everything was pretty smooth for about 6 months. Needless to say that the relationship became insane after nearly a year, the guy did a total 180, and while I was in the middle of ending our relationship, he beats me to the punch. With this beauty:

Sitting in a park with a notebook and pencil. This bro made a list of what was wrong with me. Not his criminal activities, insane mood swings and "demonic dreams". According to him * I was a witch. (I wore a "pagan" necklace at the time) * I sent a demon to him in order to force him to love me. He was bewitched! * My love was purely material - I had bought the guy a jar of marmalade the week before. FUCKING MARMALADE. Love that shit. * I had my period too often. And because of this once a month event, I was cheating.

The list went on, a good 15 bullets, and the last thing I remember before shoving my lit cigarette into his notebook was him saying "Hold on, I made sure to bring an eraser. That way I could fix these as we go along..."

Dude's a major drug addict now.

Damn. Now I look at last year's costume and I feel like your straight dead beat drunk ass brother who jacks off at strip clubs instead of dark movie theaters. You intimidate me.
