The initial excitement of a new relationship can quickly dissipate when confronted with challenges and obstacles that jeopardize the couple’s happiness. Have you ever observed a breakup triggered by a seemingly insignificant or trivial cause?
A user asked the forum, “What’s the weirdest reason you’ve broken up with someone?”. Let’s look at the top responses.
BAD SMELL
“She smelled like soup.”
PRETENDING TO HAVE SOLVED THE CROSSWORD
“She thought she got the answer to the crossword when it was actually me.”
TACOS
“Never wanted to get tacos.”
TALKING FASTER
“He talked so fast that I often couldn’t understand him. When I would ask him to please talk slower, he would talk LOUDER. But just as fast.”
THROWING GARBAGE OUT OF A WINDOW
“She threw garbage out my truck window while driving down the road. First date-last date.”
BAD SMELL FROM FEET
“His feet smelled. I mean so bad. They were so bad one night I thought he messed up the bed. Wasn’t going to go the long haul with that.”
PRETENDING TO SPEAK FRENCH
“She would speak French to herself in the mirror at home, and then she would do it at restaurants thinking it made her sound royal, I guess? I don’t know.
Here’s the thing. She knew not one word of French. She had no desire to learn a single word of French. She just spoke gibberish that sounded VAGUELY like French.
She was a full-grown woman in her late 20’s. College degree and a job. She started doing it around the second month into our relationship.
That embarrassed the hell out of me. I know a few words and even offered to teach her – a foreign student taught me how to say, “I love a lobster,” and other weird stuff that we both thought was hilarious while getting baked.
She said she didn’t want to learn. She just wanted to act like she was speaking French.”
IMAGINING HERSELF AS AN ANGEL
“1 year in, she told me she was literally an angel. Sad to say there was A LOT about her, wasn’t heaven sent.”
ADDING TO A FAMILY GROUP
“She added me to her family’s group chat after a week of dating. I was about 16 at that time and felt much pressure.”
NOT BRUSHING A TEETH
“She wouldn’t brush her teeth. It was gross. A real shame because she was super cute otherwise.”
EATING MUSTARDS
“She squeezed a disgusting amount of mustard in her hand, then ate it.”
UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
“He expected me to text him every minute of every day; if I was not texting him, he was texting all my friends and my siblings.”
TALKING LIKE A CHILD
“She started talking like a child when around me. It was really off-putting.”
GIVING A DIRTY BOWL
“Gave me a dirty bowl after cooking food for me at her place. She said it wasn’t dirty, but I cleaned it and showed her it was.
Can’t do gross.”
EATING ALL THE FOOD
“This is gonna make me sound like Joey from Friends, but he kept eating my food. We were on a date, and each got a pizza. When he was done, he took one of my slices without even asking. Had he asked, it would have been different.
Later we were at the movies, and I asked if he wanted popcorn, but he said he didn’t want them. So I bought it for myself. Not even 10 minutes in, he started eating my popcorn. So I slapped his hand away. When you say you don’t want them, then don’t eat mine.”
LYING
“My ex lied about why he went to prison.”
