I was dating this guy for a few weeks and I asked him why things didn’t work out with his ex-girlfriend. He told me that he wasn’t attracted to her. They dated for two years, so I thought maybe their personalities were clashing. He tells me “She had small boobs”. Wait, it gets better. Then he tells me, “She also had a burn on her chest from a childhood accident and I wasn’t into the whole burn thing.” He said it like it was a bad haircut or something. Dealbreaker.

The Jerk Ex-Boyfriend
Nov 5
So I was dating this girl in college, and decided to tell her that I was still friends with my ex, even though I knew she still liked me. That didn’t bother her, so it was great. But that got her to talk about her ex… she said how after less than one year of dating in her senior year of high school they talked about marriage and he actually said something about an engagement ring (mind you, I dated my ex for almost 3 years and SHE was the one who didn’t want to get married). Anyway, the girl said she took him seriously and was very disappointed to find out he had sex, in public, with a complete stranger at night in a park. And when I proceeded to call him a jerk and how he didn’t actually mean what he said about marriage she got all pissy and told me to ‘never call him a jerk- you don’t know him!’. But ma’am, I know any guy who cheats on his girlfriend is a jerk. Dealbreaker.
The Ex-Wife
Sep 16
My friend was waiting for her date to show up. He pulls up in a car, on the passenger side. Driving the car is a woman. My friends asks who the woman is. It’s his ex-wife –- it turns out they still live in the same house and share the car. Since he was planning on having a few drinks on his date, he asked his ex-wife to drive him in their shared car from their shared residence to his date. Dealbreaker.
The Google Alert
Jun 17
As a professional working online often, I have Google Alerts set up with my name as the keyword. I had been dating this guy for about a month and a half. He was super sweet, ambitious, and kind. While a friend and I set off on vacation for a week, he sent me “sweet” text messages telling me how much he “loved” me. Finally sitting down during lunch with my friend, I read my email and found a Google Alert with my name. It was a blog post from his Ex titled “Dear (My Name)” and laid out how terrible I was for dating him and what an awful person he was. He told me she was crazy and I naively trusted him.
Months later I re-check the Ex’s blog where I read he has been asking her to get back with him. Dealbreaker.
