What's the pettiest reason you've dumped someone?

Did a bad DIY taxidermy job of his cat. Little too weird for me.

He said "touche" the way we now say "lol". Like it was just a meaningless filler word used to respond to anything. "I'm not coming over tonight" "touche". "Grab me a beer and I'll be there in ten" "touche". I'm not even an English snob. I don't correct other people when they use the wrong "to" or anything. But that shit made me insane. He was also a late 30s barfly/bouncer still living with multiple roommates and dating 19 year olds, but it was the touche that led to the breakup.

2 months into slow dating: We were in a restaurant, and he broke out crying because he hadn't met my parents yet. I broke up with him a couple of days later. I originally had planned dumping there at the restaurant, but took puty on him and waited some days 🙄

He would bite his nails then spit them across the room. I can still hear the sound in my head twenty five years later.

We got into a fight about what the word vagabond meant. He thought it meant someone of royalty. He was already on thin ice for saying theee-ater instead of theater.

icommentingifs · 5時間前

I was willing to let some basic annoyances go - he had a voice like Gilbert Gotfried and he was short (5'4" ish). But he was really an awesome person so we went on a few dates. Third date, he kisses me and shoves his entire tongue down my throat - like thick and choking and it was the most awful experience on the planet. We didn't go out again after that :(.

jl370 · 7時間前

Maybe not really 'dumped' so much as just didn't continue past the first date, but he arrived to our first date in a truck that not only had a pair of balls in the trailer hitch, but also had a bumper sticker that said "Dodge the father, Ram the daughter". Kind of humorous, but definitely not somebody I'd take to meet my family...

He lived thirty minutes away, and the price of gas kept going up. I didn't feel as though he was worth it.

I was 15 with my first boyfriend. We were making out on my bed and he turns around to reach for something, facing his backside towards me and I realize: He smells like poop!!

Cue me spending the next 30 min trying to confirm that he actually smells like poop. He did. Broke up with him the next day.

Petty? Maybe but I'd do it again!!

Wtf

I devoured his soul before dumping him as is tradition.

I have a petty reason for why I won't start dating someone who could be amazing for me. We're close friends and I started out with a crush on him. We have a fantastic time together and talk almost every day......but he can't stand anything seafood and doesn't like to be in water. It sounds stupid but I realized it would be a problem when we were planning lunch and dinner excursions (we always order menu wide and share everything) and I was bummin hard by having to forgo these amazing looking places because the menu was 70% seafood. And when I couldnt invite him on a river float with my other friends because he doesn't dig the water. Realized as a boyfriend those would both become issues. Momma needs her oysters and beach days.

He chewed really loudly. It made my skin crawl!
Another: He used the word 'make out' when he wanted to kiss me.
I definitely have aversion to specific things.

I went on a first date with a guy whose voice was so robotic that I was visibly annoyed every time they talked. It was monotone and void of tones and rhythm.

He was someone who developed strong body odor fast. Not that he wasn't hygienic, he took good care of himself. But he would start smelling of sweat very strongly even after showering and as someone with a sensitive nose, I couldn't deal with it. It is mean, I know.

He wore axe deodorant like a 15 years old high schooler would (spraying his entire body and emptying a can every few weeks). Way way waaaay to much. Couldn't breath when next to him.

He convinced me to play WoW and said he would help me level my character as long as I picked a certain class. Then he got too busy with his guild to ever help me play, so basically I sat bored at his house trying to play a dumb shallow game while he had fun with his guild for hours on end.

I like RPGs, but solo ones like Morrowind and Skyrim. WoW was boring.

ansible_jane · 5時間前

We weren't dating, just hanging out and getting to know each other. But the way he spent money completely destroyed any idea that we ever would date.
He didn't have a job, and he spent what little money he had on toys. Vinyl figurines. No shade if you are making bank and happen to like collectible toys, but buying toys as a "broke" college student? Turn off.

He wanted his filet mignon extra well done.

I made dinner one night and asked how he liked his meat to be cooked. He said very well done, no pink at all. When it was time for the meat to come out, he lasked "can you leave it in longer?" Those steaks were overcooked, dry, and leathery as all fuck. He said they were perfectly done.

I can't be with a man that likes his meat overdone and cooked to shit.

Tiajamesbitch · 6時間前

I was 15, first serious BF. Two days into officially dating he made me a mix cd with R.Kelley and Nelly. Nothing against these artists at all, but at 15 that's basically a proposal. Too much too soon. LMAO Broke up with him that morning.

drunklibrary · 5時間前

I was "going out" with someone when I was 13. We were in a friend's basement watching a movie, and we were holding hands. For the duration of the movie he would not stop making tiny circles on the top of my hand with his thumb. Over and over and over. I think he meant to be endearing. Being young and meek, I didn't want to say he was driving me absolutely fucking insane for like 2 hours so instead I dumped him via text that evening. It was like Chinese water torture, thumb-style. The relationship was two weeks long, but 12 years later I still remember how badly I wanted to freak out lol.

unisparkle · 6時間前

Dumped one guy because he told me that he waxes and grooms his eyebrows.

Dumped another because when he was driving he would constantly put on the gas and then let go, then hit the gas, then let go to "maintain" his speed. He couldn't just hold the gas pedal in the same spot! Drove me nuts!

Finally, didn't dump him but just didn't want to date him because he was about a foot and a half shorter than me and had little man complex. The way he walked reminded me of the little chicken hawk in the foghorn leghorn cartoons.

ohblessyourheart · 4時間前

This is going to sound awful.

He was too poor.

Now, I grew up poor: welfare kid, no shoes in summer, etc. I met him at my first job after high school, in the next town over, and I thought he was great. He smelled a little funny, but not necessarily bad--everyone has their own smell!

We went on several dates, and at the end of one, I drove him home. I really had to pee and asked if I could use his bathroom even though it was four in the morning and he lived with his parents (he had also just graduated). He said yes, and he led me inside.

He turned on the light, and a billion cockroaches SCATTERED. The floor was warped and reeked of piss, the whole place was rotting around them. I don't know how the place was standing.

He led me through mountains of hoarder shit and his mom stuck up a hand and waved from her multi-boxing WoW setup. They invited me to their DnD group the next week. At the house.

It hadn't been the smell of him I'd smelled, it was rot and cockroach shit.

I just couldn't.

You know how in teenage books/movies they go "and he stuck his tongue down my throat" I assumed it was a saying but this guy actually did that. Like clean my tonsils shoving his tongue. I could have told him I didn't like it, but yea, was like "um, sorry, bye."

He said he was a musician and wanted to introduce a song to me that represented what he was all about. It was terrible. Elementary lyrics with shitty beat. I told him that I couldn't respect him after that. No regrets.

He had erectile dysfunction and blamed me for not helping him keep it up like sorry I'm not hot enough for you but I'm not sure thats how ED works... Then he would get mad at me if I eventually got discouraged and turned off by his limp dick trying to smash into me. Get over yourself pal..

_JeanGenie_ · 5時間前

He wouldn't stop talking. Constantly asking questions about EVERYTHING. Every single thing in my house got a question from him. And this wasn't like, a few months in. It started on the first date. He didn't care about my privacy or space or anything. Yuck

I'm not a fan of getting eaten out. I rarely allow it to happen to me and rarely want it. Anywho, I was seeing a guy for 3 weeks and we were having sex very recently. Like I think it was either the second or third time we fucked and he insisted on going down on me. I said sure but please not for long. He goes down, it's meh, but then I feel immense pain on my clitoris. Mother fucker bit my clit thinking I would like that. He bit it hard. Like it hurt to pee for a few days and even sit the day after. Broke it off a few days later.

eatscakesandleaves · 5時間前

He used the word copacetic, was very possessive of my time and didn't like me chatting to other guys even when I was working, drove 5k under the speed limit at all times and lived with his mother. Oh and when I called his house, he pretended not to be sure it was me. I have a very distinctive accent (a not from that continent accent). Stupid unnecessary game playing.

But the final straw was copacetic.

LisaPressnellSinger · 3時間前

He didn't buy me a birthday present or pay for birthday lunch, after inviting me out for lunch, but then bought himself a random cat sculpture whilst we were out celebrating my birthday! We were together 7 years but this was the day that marked the beginning of the end. Many other things happened that led to our breakup but I was particularly humiliated by this.

I was 15, he was 18. We met right after my last boyfriend dumped me, so I was only looking to rebound. I never liked him that much at all, I just didn't want to be lonely.

First date he's a little late, then we get to the restaurant and it's a 45 minute wait because he didn't make a reservation. No problem, I suggested a hole-in-the-wall mexican restaurant that my family loved to go to. We go there and he pays, but as we're leaving he goes "Oh I forgot to tip" but doesn't go back in to tip... so then we're on our way to the movies but he has to stop and get gas because I guess he didn't bother to do that before picking me up (this made us a couple minutes late to the movie so we had to sit in the first two rows). During the car ride there, he answered his phone and talked to his friend which I thought was extremely rude. During the movie, he tried to talk to me the entire time but I tried to just ignore him and watch the movie. Oh, and he revealed that he had his ex-girlfriend's name tatted on his chest.

Miraculously we continue dating after that because I was so desperate for a relationship. The only redeeming factor about him was that he insisted we wait to have sex until I was the legal consenting age (only a month or two away), but we broke up before then anyways. Ah to be young and stupid.

He was a 23 year old man straight out of the army and every time I touched him ever so slightly he would sigh and shudder heavily like a woman in porn. I'm not even talking about touching his dick... I mean like, anywhere.

It's pretty hypocritical of me cos I'm really OTT with noises during stuff like that too, but apparently I'm just not into it in a guy.

I tried to get past it, but I was on the fence about him anyway and then I just could not deal with it anymore.

I had been out with this guy, friend of a friend, a few times, and he seemed pretty cool. I met up with him one day after I had a job interview and he said I was dressed so nice that he wanted to take me out to a fancy restaurant. When the bill came, he used his watch calculator to tell me how much I owed. I was unemployed, hence the job interview. I would've been happy with a trip to McDonald's, which was actually in my price range. After dinner, I drove us back to his house, where he lived with his grandparents. (we were only 19 so this wasn't a deal-breaker) He introduced me to his sweet little grandmother, then we went to hang out in his bedroom - with the door open. He kept trying to make out with me, which was awkward since Grandma was just down the hall, but when he said "are you going to have sex with me or not?" I was gone.

Nice guy, a little reserved but overall I genuinely enjoyed his company. He was tall, and fit, but had really narrow shoulders. I tried to let it not bother me, but after I saw him without a shirt I was so turned off by how narrow his shoulders were. So petty, but I really could not get passed it. I had the "I'm not feeling us as a romantic thing' talk a week later.

OGsinner · 4時間前

Because he cried, like a lot. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for everyone expressing their.feelings, it is healthy. But this dude was 22 (I was 15) and he would make those sort of scenes whenever he felt he wasn't getting enough attention from me, very often. The straw that broke the camel's back was when he arrived (unannounced I might add) to my house on Sunday. It was the hey-day of local multiplayer so me and my cousins had a sort of tournament going (which I was winning) so the dude came, gave him a kiss and proceeded to focus in my game (FIFA) he left and didn't comeback, we kept playing and one of my cousins was disqualified he went outside and didn't comeback, next cousin lost and disappear as well until I ended up by myself playing and winning Hehe. Anyhoo I go outside to see where everyone went and there he is (boyfriend) fucking crying a river because I "wasn't paying attention" to him. My cousins throwing a pity party for the guy and I told him to stop crying please. He said I was being mean so I left and went to my room. I stopped answering his calls and didn't see him from that day forward. We broke up over the phone when I told him I didn't like guys that cried over everything.

More like the straw that broke the camel's back, since there were little things here and there that bothered me.

We went to The Martian, and he tried to talk to me during it. It's one thing if we're watching The Room or Rocky Horror where there's a lot of audience participation, but this was Oscar bait. There were people around us getting annoyed, and when I eventually shushed him, he pouted the rest of the movie.

Afterwards, he tried to give me an ultimatum of be exclusive or we stop seeing each other. We barely knew each other, the little things bothered me but I was ok with letting them go, but then he talked during The Martian. I agreed that we should stop seeing each other. I think he was a bit offended, but I didn't care. He talked during Oscar bait.

He tried hitting me up again a short while ago. I mentioned that I had a new job (FT with benefits in my field, and I have a BFA so that's kinda hard to find). He made some remark about how it's a step in the right direction. Really pissed me off with that; it's not a step, it's a goal met. A step would be a volunteer opportunity or an internship. I might be being petty, but whatever. I stopped talking to him after that, and have no plans on returning any communication he might send my way again.

Sitting in the movie theater watching John Carpenter's Vampires. About halfway through the movie, you finally see the head vamp. I turn to my date and whisper, "Wow, he looks like Trent Reznor."

He whispered back, "Who the fuck is Trent Reznor?"

Record scratch. Oh man, we are so done. It was about 1998. Peak Nine Inch Nails era. Dude was my age and had previously claimed to be really into music. If I can't talk about music with someone, I got nuthin'.

He kissed by rapidly sticking his tongue in and out of my mouth over and over again kind of like a snake tasting the wind... Took all the magic out.

Another one was his breath smelled like dog shit, literally.

filo4000 · 5時間前

We went out on one date, a quick coffee date. He was very shy but I didn't really hold that against him. However, I ended up having to do 90% of the talking which went along the lines of me asking a question, him answering two sentences or less, then me trying to keep the conversation going to which he would not respond until I out and out asked him another question, repeat.

This is not the reason I declined a second date, I was willing to give it another try because I suffer through periods of intense social anxiety and I know how it feels, but once you calm down and warm up to the person it can get much better. The reason I declined a second date was that the second date he proposed was me taking him to my university and giving him a tour of the place. I just pictured this in my head and it became too overwhelming.

First of all, I'm expecting the dynamics will not change much from the first date but now we're walking for the whole thing instead of sitting down and relaxing. Second, I don't know anything about the university that could make a tour interesting, it'd literally be me pointing out things that the signs already clearly state with nothing more to add (here's the TD bank lecture hall..., here's gym #2..., etc). Third, I didn't have a parking pass to the school despite having a car because the bus was free and easy to take and a pass was 500 dollars, so to get to this date I'm going to either pay for parking or take a bus that only runs once an hour on weekends. And fourth of all I was like, who asks someone out on a date where they're volunteering the other person do all the work. Like, wouldn't an equivilant be something like person A asking out person B on a date to person Bs house where person B can cook them dinner? The more I thought about it, the more I got convinced it was rude (my friends have differing opinions on the rudeness of this)

Basically, this stupid date idea started to annoy me the more I thought about it and I cancelled the night before and just didn't talk to him again.
