Just for fun: Pettiest reason you ended a relationship

[Anonymous]

I found out that the parents of the guy I was seeing had a bad marriage. I come from a loving family and I did not want a guy with family baggage.

He only had one arm.

Now before you come at me, here are the issues I had with it:

He lost his arm in a near-fatal car accident in 2001. He was drinking, which was the cause of the accident. He didn't hurt anyone else, but I looked up his public records and he had 3 additional DWIs since that accident, with one being recent when I was dating him (2015 was the DWI, I dated him in 2016). He has been to jail for the DWIs - his mugshot is on Google Images.

He continues to drink quite a bit - go to happy hour and then drive home. This didn't really phase me as he wasnt stumbling out drunk, it started bothering me when I found out the cause of his accident when I googled his name one night, and subsequently checked public records.

If losing your arm due to a drunk driving accident isn't enough to make you stop drinking and driving, nothing will.

I broke up with someone because I asked her if she would still date me if I only had one arm and she said no.

Dumped a picky eater who tried to say he was a “super taster”.

Omg. Sounds like you dumped him for a better reason than having one arm!

Omg. Jail.

My husband watched the last season of the Americans without me (I was on a work trip). I should have dumped him.

I found he wrote frequent one star Yelp reviews. Of burger kings and Dunkin’ Donuts. I never told him I knew, and I still read them till this day.

I also had one of those … and I told him. In the Hope that he would address it and we could continue to date. But, it hurt his feelings and he became distant after …
Next time I won’t say anything and just move on.

Still better off saying something, right? If you don't, you'll move on = breakup. If you do, he might react badly = breakup; but he might change his ways = stay together. So, better overall outcome possible if you say something. I mean, of course, we're omitting the other option, which is to stay silent AND stay together, but obviously that's not going to happen.

One guy I thought was 10 years older but he was 20 years older. It was just too much for me.

Another was very tiny in "ahem" that department and was a turnoff

Another guy was really boring and said he went to Catholic high school and took a test and then was brought in the office and was told he scored high for being a priest. No thanks

Any guy who appears to have a fetish for my ethnic background

A friend said he looked like John Madden and even though he was decades younger than him and not overweight I couldn’t unsee it.

I know a Doris who is in her late 20's/early 30's. Is she Lebanese?

No, this was 20 years ago.

So, now her name fits. Your loss!

Pointed it out and expected him to handle it… he did, by grabbing a nearby towel and swooshing it at the spider. It didn’t kill the spider, just flung it off the wall to somewhere else into the room, so now we couldn’t see it and it was probably now angry and plotting its revenge.

I made a hasty exit after that.

Absolute deal breaker. WTF!

The best I could theorize is that his big d*ck was like a magic wand that turned people into crazy exes. I didn’t want to be turned into a crazy stalker ex.

I’m not sure this is a petty reason. It sounds like a BIG reason…

LOL. It was! I had to frantically practice Lamaze breathing just to relax myself enough for him.

I dated a guy with a filthy bathroom. I don’t think he ever cleaned it. There was a level of grime that I’ve only seen in Waffle House or gas station bathrooms. He was such a sweetheart but after a while I friend-zoned him.

I had to do the breathing exercises with my now DH. He thought it was jus “thing” I did. He literally had no idea how big he was/is. Thought he was average. Apparently one of his exes was a true size queen and size shamed him before he broke up with her. He is over 8” with ample girth. Bonus is he definitely knows how to use it.
