‘Got rejected because my skin texture wasn’t “flawless” enough for his mom.
‘Also she doesn’t think I’m pretty enough to give him “beautiful children.”
‘Wild to be disqualified from a gene pool I never applied to. Imagine being rejected by someone who isn’t even dating you, for kids that don’t even exist.
‘So instead of breaking up, he decided it was only fair to cheat on me. And then ask me for another chance to make it right only to later tell me he can’t cause he got that girl pregnant and was asking me on how to deal with it and which gynac to approch for an abortion.
‘That man hit new kinds of lows.’

‘A girl “broke up” with me cause I wasn’t a fan of Ellen DeGeneres. I didnt dislike the woman as i hardly knew anything about her, I just didn’t find her sense of humor funny is all. And that was enough to not be worth dating apparently.’

‘Remember the 2012/2013 NHL lockout? They rebooted a ton of minor league teams, and Denver got the Cutthroat’s.
‘The following year, it looked like there would be a major and minor league team.
‘My 27 year old pack-a-day smoker ex that hadn’t played hockey in yyeeeaaarrrssss really thought he had a chance to try out. I mean, there were kids that have lived and breathed hockey every day, but Mr can’t-even-spring-for-the-sports-cable-package was really gonna do it. He changed his work schedule to train and the whole gambit. When he came to me to try and get me to pay more bills so he could drop to part time work and train more, I was “unsupportive” and “unreasonable.” He’d make so much money for us!
‘Yeah. It’s one of those it’s-funny-now breakups, but I was pretty upset at the time.
‘No, he never went pro.’

‘Not mine but someone I know broke up with her boyfriend, who was genuinely a really decent bloke – he would go and pick her up whenever and wherever no questions asked, take her mum out shopping as she didn’t drive, made sure she was ok when sick, turn up with flowers not just for her but for her mum too etc basically being a good human being. Also according to her, as she kept on telling me repeatedly, he was proficient in the bedroom too.
‘She broke up with him because he showered too much.
‘That’s not even a cover up for another reason – she seriously was bored of waiting for him for the 3 minutes it took every night for him to get out of the shower. This poor guy had done the absolute most for her and she couldn’t wait 3 minutes for him. I think he had a lucky escape tbh.’

‘Not a breakup, but a girl in high-school wouldn’t date me because she said my last name didn’t sound good with her first name.
‘My wife has the same name as her. She took my last name.’

‘They told me that it was over because I was too ugly. At 2am. In a hotel lobby. On Valentine’s Day.
‘This person was such an asshole. It was a blessing in disguise. Learned that lesson, and met my now husband 10 months later. Much better off these days.
‘No idea what happened to said ex, but if you’re out there: screw you, Chad. May your socks always be slightly damp and you always hit red lights when you’ve got to poop.’

‘”You have [genetic condition], which probably means you did something terrible in a past life.”
‘Not verbatim, but that was the gist.’

‘His mom didn’t like me because I was too fat.
‘It was hard at the time, but yeah, I dodged a bullet.’
-Candid-Mycologist539
‘Well, if you dodged that bullet you couldn’t have been that fat.’
