Yup. Full Sail. He spent so much money to get that degree, and I don’t think he was able to use it much, as he had to move back to BFE, Indiana, where those kind of jobs aren’t available.

I dated a guy like this. I was just about fed up with his neediness when, after a trip to my mother’s, he came over, ate the rest of the labor-intensive meal that she only makes once every two years or so, and then told me we should take a break. He tried EVERYTHING to end that break. The break continues.

I’m not even going to read any of the other stories. Guy who wanted to better himself by going to video game school? Went to a punk show with a guy from a euchre meetup group? Driving 90 minutes each way to an 84 hour a week job?

You know, the more I think about it, a note in a box of (nice) chocolates might be my preferable way to break up. 

I did not, but I also didn’t call his mom and tell on him so he probably still got his money. I went with some friends.

Oh geez. I have a story of basically the opposite - I meant to stay with a guy through his birthday because it seemed cruel to leave him right then, but accidentally I spilled that I found his scent/hormones really off-putting and had really only dated him because I was lonely, and then I found out his mom died the…

It’s amazing how many ghosts re-materialize once they realize you ain’t paying any attention to their haunting.

This one involves (alleged) Chinese spies!

I had started dating this guy, my last year of college. He wasn’t in college, but after graduating, he decided he wanted to be ‘good enough’ for me and get himself educated by going to video game school in Florida. Dumbass me was in love, and moved halfway across the country, away from all of my friends and family, to…

I want to stitch that shit on a pillow.

We had plans for dinner with another couple that night and when I told them we would make it due to the above, she comments, “you can just say you don’t want to come.” They didn’t believe it had even happened.

Words to fucking live by:

A few months later I figured out he’d at the very least been emotionally cheating for a while.

Although I’m no Mandy Moore, I had my own Ryan Adams. Mike expected me to be his girlfriend, therapist, nurse, best friend, mother, stylist, mediator, life coach, and a whole bunch of other unrealistic demands. (My top comment in this article has more details.)

I spent a year living with a boyfriend I desperately needed to break up with (but couldn’t... because we lived together and I was too broke to move) and two other roommates. But we still broke up every couple of weeks toward the end and during one of these breakups, he basically moved into the bedroom of one of the…

I once had a guy break up with me in the passenger unloading zone while dropping me off for an out of town flight. It was cowardly AF, but also kind of ingenious because he knew he only had to deal with me for about 3 minutes before security would move him on.

When I was 16 a dude I had been seeing for a few months ghosted me. The odd part about this was, on top of not answering my calls or emails, we also had a class together and he completely ignored me in person too. After about a week and a half of this I realized that spending the time I had been spending with him with…

So, I started seeing a friend of my roommate’s boyfriend. He wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he was sweet, good looking, and easy to talk to.

The first sign was apparently he likes to kiss and tell, because my roommate kept not-telling me something that he said about me after we’d had sex a few times.

The…

(I was broken up with) After 8 years together out of the blue, on Facebook, on a Wednesday while I was at work. We were both in our 30s. Grow up. 

Jimmy Savile, Jerry Sandusky and Michael Jackson used charity as a way to rise above suspicion while getting access to a vulnerable pool of potential victims, and increase the odds that anyone who could catch them in the act had a reason to look the other way. The facility is fine only as long as Tyler isn’t allowed…
