That’s It, We’re Boyfriend Shaming
When we were younger, all we wanted was to find our one true love. Then we got older and realized that finding love is a lot more difficult than movies made it out to be. There are so many things that can go wrong before you even become official. Some guys will have a long list of ridiculous demands before your first date, like unfollowing all men on Instagram. Others will attack you for the very normal choices you made before you even met them. Unfortunately, sometimes people’s true colors come out after you become official and these boyfriends are nothing to look up to. We don’t love calling people out, but these men made it all too easy to shame them. What’s the worst thing a boyfriend of yours did?
Not All Wishes Come True
Have you ever liked someone so much that it genuinely pains you when they don’t feel the same way? It’s an awful feeling, but there’s not much you can do about it. In this case, it’s best to try and get over this person and maybe even move on with someone new.
Upon finding this new person, it’s not advised to go back to the person you were crushing on and question them about why they don’t like you. We applaud this girl for putting this man in his place in so few words, we just wish he would have stopped texting her. His girlfriend deserves better, and he needs therapy.
Boyfriends, Birthdays And Bad Gifts
Shopping for birthday gifts is one of life’s most difficult tasks. You can be the closest person to someone, and still not know what they’d like. In these cases, we think it’s always a good idea to go with something from the heart. It’s beyond sweet that this girlfriend took her time making this gift for her boyfriend.
We don’t know who hurt him, or why he felt the need to react this way about such a kind gift. If it were up to us, we’d have taken the blanket back after dumping him on his birthday. If you’re a grown man complaining about your loving girlfriend, maybe you deserve to be single.
It’s Time For A Breakup
What values do you want your life partner to hold? Most people want someone kind, smart, loving, and preferably not a drug addict. We understand that people go through a lot in their lives, but not everyone is equipped to live life with an addict.
This girl saw her dad struggle through a coke addiction, and watching her partner suffer from it is likely very hard for her. She voiced her stance to her boyfriend, and he had the worst possible reaction. If he wanted to let his hair down, he could have gone for a fun night with his friends, not to a drug dealer.
Flirting With Unfaithfulness
Each couple has a different definition of crossing the line. No person wants their significant other to kiss or spend too much alone time with someone who has an interest in them. Most people also don’t want their significant other to flirt with or constantly text others in a seductive manner.
It can be a bit of a red flag when your boyfriend has a girl best friend because somehow the relationship always tends to go too far. This girlfriend must have had an inkling, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been snooping through her boyfriend’s phone. In the end, it’s a good thing she did snoop, otherwise, she wouldn’t have known she needed to break up with him.
Someone’s Getting Desperate
Being in a relationship isn’t for everyone, and there’s a lot of work you’ll have to do as an individual before you get involved with someone else. For example, you need to work on patience and restraint. If you’re ready to get more physically involved, but your partner isn’t, you’ll need to learn how to live with that.
We feel awful for this girl, and it sounds like she’s had this conversation with her boyfriend more than once. If you have to pressure someone into doing something with you then it isn’t consensual. At a certain point, this becomes harassment, and nobody deserves that from their significant other, or anyone for that matter.
Do You Even Like Her?
Social media is a weird place. Sometimes you’ll see people so obsessed with their significant others that it makes you want to throw up. Other times you’ll be left confused by the people who post about their girlfriends like the stray dog they picked up off the street.
There aren’t rules for everything in a relationship, but it’s kind of unspoken that you’ll never compare your current partner to an ex. We don’t know what this man thought would come of this post, was it his way of reaching out to his ex? All we know is that if we were his girlfriend we’d be very embarrassed and hurt by this.
Let’s Consult The Dictionary
We’ve never understood cheaters, why would they be in a relationship if they knew they weren’t going to be faithful? They go to extreme lengths to find someone to cheat with when it’d be easier to just break up with their significant other. This girl tried letting this guy down nicely, he should have walked away from the conversation while he still had a chance.
We like her definition of what sucks far better and think this man should adopt it. 15 years is a long time to be with someone, we can’t imagine the heartbreak his girlfriend would feel upon finding this out. Do you think this man will ever learn the error of his ways?
Are You Looking For A Maid?
Why do you want to be in a relationship? Most people want companionship or simply someone to share the good and bad moments with. Then there are those select few who only want someone to look after them and clean up their messes. It seems this man isn’t looking for a girlfriend, he’s really looking for someone who can replace his mommy.
It’s your job as an adult to keep a clean and tidy apartment. We can’t imagine how disgusted this girl was upon finding out her boyfriend has the hygiene habits of a middle school boy. We hope they do break up, she deserves better than to be someone glorified cleaning lady.
A Sick Way To View Sickness
Mental health is a serious topic, and it needs to be talked about more. You never know what’s going on inside someone’s head. If someone does open up to you about their struggle with mental health you should see what you can do to help them. When this man’s girlfriend told him she was struggling with depression, he somehow took it as a good thing.
It takes a seriously sick individual to use someone else’s depression to their advantage. If you’re not going to take care of your partner when they need it most, you shouldn’t be together. Depression can be fatal if not dealt with, and this man obviously doesn’t care.
PSA: This Guy’s Insecure
Do you trust your significant other not to cheat on you? If you don’t trust them, maybe it’s a good indicator that you shouldn’t be together. This guy on the other hand just wants to embarrass his girlfriend while coming off as a macho tough guy to the men on Snapchat. Even if other men were all over her, stooping to this level and telling people to jump off a bridge is a few steps too far.
If we were Sarah we’d take note of these very obvious anger issues. Things like this usually start with something small, and end with him controlling every aspect of her social media and searching through her texts at night.
Newest Form Of Mid Flight Entertainment
How do you know that your partner is “the one” so to speak? It’s a great feeling to find the person you feel completes you. If you know the person you’re with isn’t who you’re meant to be, it’s in everyone’s best interest to let them go. Breakups are difficult, and you don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, so it’s important to let the other person down gently.
For future reference, breaking up with someone while barreling through the air is not gentle. Not only was this girl stuck next to her ex-boyfriend for the remainder of the flight, but everyone else heard what happened and likely spent the rest of the flight staring.
There’s Every Need To Judge
If you’re single, what’s your preferred method of meeting new people? Some people like meeting others out in the wild, otherwise known as the local bar. For those of us who are a bit on the shy side, dating apps are the way to go. Unfortunately, anyone can join a dating app, including people already in loving and committed relationships.
If this guy was so paranoid about his girlfriend finding out he was on Tinder, he never should have joined in the first place. For the record, we don’t know anyone who is into a man that’s already taken and this is definitely a situation where it’s perfectly acceptable to judge.
Vengefulness Is A Disease
Some people have such little regard for others’ feelings that it makes us wonder if they’re even human. Breakups can be difficult, and if you can remain on good terms more power to you! However, just be mindful that some people will pretend to be on good terms with you only to get revenge later on.
That must be why this man agreed to dog sit for his ex only to lie to her about the dog passing and selling it years later. We don’t know what he could have possibly gained from this, maybe he just wanted to see his ex suffer. Whatever the reason is, we hope he gets his karma for this, and that this woman is able to find who bought her dog.
Next Time Let It Go
Some men let their jealousy overrule them, and it can land them in some awkward situations. If you work with someone it’s normal to text them from time to time about covering a shift. Monica’s boyfriend may not work, and that’s why he is coming off as aggressive and manipulative in these texts.
Even after this man explained why he was texting Monica, her boyfriend just wouldn’t quit. He didn’t have to explain the details of his personal life, but it seemed there was no other option. He even had to go as far as sending photographic evidence. What’s worse than being jealous is that her boyfriend completely flipped out when he found out this guy was gay.
Who Makes The Rules Here?
There’s a Twitter account for everything these days, including men who need a way to validate their controlling beliefs. It’s important to keep in mind that nobody in a relationship is in charge of the other person, and you can’t control who your partner talks to. If your partner is constantly flirting with or giving you a reason not to trust them then it’s acceptable to bring the topic up.
Even when talking about it, it’s important to keep in mind you can’t make your girlfriend do anything. Baselessly telling her she can’t talk to men simply because it makes him insecure is a huge red flag. What’s an even bigger red flag is thinking that this sort of behavior isn’t controlling.
Cheaters Be Warned
Technology has advanced in ways we never could have imagined. There seems to be a smart version of everything these days, even our watches. The great thing about these watches is they track our every movement, and even let us share and compare with a close group of friends. It turns out these watches are good for more than just seeing who gets the most steps in a day.
You can also use them if you are suspicious that your partner might be cheating on you. Most people don’t go for a run at 2 in the morning, but we can think of a few things that would get their heart rate up. Lesson learned, if you think your partner has someone on the side, get them a smartwatch.
So Much For Our Vows
We’re not saying that you should keep all your partner’s secrets, but we are saying you should be a bit more lenient with them. It can be alarming to find drugs on someone you care so deeply about, but maybe it’s best to get the full story before running to the cops. There’s a lot that this guy did wrong, starting with digging around in places he shouldn’t have been.
Then he had the bright idea to confuse cocktail decorations with something people smuggle across state lines. To top it all off, he just had to go running to the police. This man just gave his wife 3 different reasons why she should file for divorce.
Time For A Couples Counselor
You’re not always going to be on the same page as your partner about every little thing. Some things are okay to compromise on, and other things, like bedroom preferences, aren’t really up for discussion. If this man wants to be in a loving committed relationship, he’ll need to understand that he can’t make his girlfriend do things that make her uncomfortable.
Some people simply don’t want to be tied up, and that’s perfectly okay! What’s not okay is acting like she’s committing a crime for not wanting to do kinky things with you. We understand being frustrated, but this is the wrong way to go about it and makes him look like a jerk.
10 Things I Hate About You
Even if you know you’re in a toxic relationship, it can be hard to leave them. Part of you feels like you won’t be able to live without them, but deep down you know leaving is for the best. This user did the brave thing and went for a trip after kicking her partner out so she could take time for herself.
While on her breakup retreat, she put together a list of all the reasons to hate her ex. We didn’t think it could get any worse than him hitting dogs, but we were severely mistaken. When this person’s ex inevitably reaches out trying to get back together, they’ll have this list to look back on to keep them from running back.
Whiplash In Text Form
Have you ever broken someone’s heart? It hurts to see other people in pain, but sometimes being together isn’t what’s best for either of you. Even if you know it’s right, the other person might not and will take every chance possible to get back to you. We’re no strangers to the
“please take me back” text, but this guy takes it to a deranged level.
It started off sweet, and we almost felt bad for the guy. We quickly lost what little compassion we had for the guy when he sent that second text. It makes him look creepy, desperate, and like he needs to insult people to get what he wants.
What Not To Wear
In a relationship, it’s important to keep things fun and interesting. It’s also important that each person contributes equally to keeping things fun. A lot of men want their girlfriends to come to bed in beautiful lingerie with their makeup and hair done. These same men can’t even ensure their underwear is fully intact and without skid marks.
There are a lot of double standards in dating, but this one really grinds our gears. We’re not saying men need to go above and beyond, but if they want their girlfriends to look a certain way, they also need to put in some effort. What’s your biggest relationship pet peeve?
Delusion At Its Finest
Some men will be cursed by a life lived alone. The sad thing is, if these men learned right from wrong they’d be able to find a woman they’re worthy of dating. For example, if a woman sees you’ve posted a novel about what a woman would need to do to deserve you, you’ll never even get a phone number.
What’s worse is that men genuinely think of a woman as property and not their own individual beings. Nobody wants to be controlled, especially not by their significant other. If he’s looking for someone to serve him, we have a feeling he’ll be looking until the end of time.
Way To Sell Yourself
When dating apps first came out we were so excited about their potential. We quickly realized that they weren’t all we’d dreamed them up to be. In order to find a relationship, you’ll need to be open and honest on your profile, but you also need to be realistic. If this person genuinely thinks this way, he should get used to being on his own.
He spits out a bunch of awful remarks, and then ties it all together by saying he’s actually a really nice guy. If he’s wondering why he doesn’t get a lot of dates, we might be able to shed some light on the situation.
The Art Of Gaslighting
Some people don’t know how to control their anger, and in that case, it’s best to steer clear of any type of relationship with them. Abusers have a strange way of weaseling out of things once they’ve been called out, but you must always remember to hold your ground. This guy thought he could gaslight his way out of this, but this girl held firm and didn’t let him manipulate her.
We wish there was a way to get men like this to see why their texts are so scary. Sadly, that will never happen, not even if we did a dramatic reading of their texts in front of a live audience. In this situation, you just need to block the number and move on.
Beggars Can’t Be Choosers
There are some truths in this life that are too difficult to face, so people live in fantasyland. You can want to be in a romantic relationship all you want, but you can’t make someone date you. It’s possible to find someone who seems like your perfect match, but they don’t share the same feelings for you.
All you can do in this situation is move on and hope that someone new comes along. It’s not the fault of the other person that they didn’t like you, and it doesn’t mean they’re not willing to be vulnerable and fall in love. All it means is that they’re not willing to be vulnerable and fall in love with you.
This Won’t Win You A Date
We’ve never understood the people who would go to war for their favorite celebrity. Men in particular have an obsession with Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating habits. He tends to date women much younger than him and doesn’t keep them around too long. Some women have pointed out how weird it is, and this man took it upon himself to defend the celebrity who doesn’t even know he exists.
If this man thinks all women truly have to offer is sex, we feel bad for him. He’ll obviously never know what it’s like to be in a loving and committed relationship. Thankfully, this man is not a celebrity, and as such many people are willing to call him out for his comments…and receding hairline.
Oh How The Tables Have Turned
Men like to complain about how women are insecure when in reality, most men are far more insecure than women. It’s important to set boundaries and expectations in a relationship, but be mindful that you can’t make your partner do anything. If you’re insecure that your girlfriend has male friends, that’s something you need to work on, it’s not something you can unload on your girlfriend.
This girl gave us the perfect response moving forward when guys say these sorts of things. Some people might see it as abrasive or too much, but we think it’s just the right amount of funny and truthful. What would you say if someone told you to stop being friends with people of the opposite sex?
Dating Disasters And Reddit
Reddit is an interesting place, and it’s not for everyone. There are some people who post asking for advice on their gardens and others who seek torture suggestions for the woman they’re dating. What someone chooses to do with their own life has nothing to do with you. If you can’t handle being someone who has had sex before, then don’t date them.
What’s worse is most men who think this way have had sex before marriage, but think it’s only a sin when a woman does it. You can’t define for other people what is okay and what is worthy of being punished for, and you certainly can’t ask the internet for help with said punishment.
Good Luck With That
Most people are sick and tired of dating apps, and this guy is one of the reasons why. When writing your dating profile it’s important to highlight all your best qualities. You can tell people why you’re a catch, or why they should consider dating you. This guy went in the opposite direction and gave all women of the universe a list of reasons not to date him.
If we had to guess, all the women he’s come in contact with have known exactly what they want, he’s just not it, and that made him mad. It’s okay to get upset when you hit a roadblock on the way to true love, but lashing out like this isn’t going to help anyone.
How To Catch A Predator
We’d like to think all our friends are amazing people who can do no wrong. Sadly, sometimes your friends are going to do disappointing things, and you might even have to call them out. Men preying on younger girls has been an issue for decades now, and it only seems to get worse as the years go on.
A 35-year-old man has nothing in common with a high school girl, and it’s wrong on so many levels for them to date. We’re sure the 17-year-old sees an issue with it, that’s why she used the excuse of being too young to give out her number. We hope he gets fired before her 18th birthday.
