Wedding
I dated someone who referred to me as their “side piece.” In front of me. To their friends. At a wedding they invited me to. -E.L.

To kiss or not to kiss
I dated this guy who had, two years before, decided to kiss me without my consent. *facepalm* I was not ever enthusiastic about him. Red flags, people—don’t date someone you wouldn’t want to kiss!! -M.K.
Dyked
My ex girlfriend vandalized my car by writing “DYKE” on the passenger side in Sharpie. It was very confusing to be hate crimed by your own gay girlfriend. I like to refer to it as The Great Dyking of 2013. It’s one of my favorite stories to tell around a campfire. -J.M.
Studious
My ex would regularly jizz into the top drawer of his desk. I guess he wanted to see how much jizz it would take to fill a drawer. I opened it once like … ??? !!! -A.L.
Tattoo
A girl I was dating let a guy friend of hers get a tattoo of him and her holding hands. At the time, I was dating her, monogamously… -C.L.
Dance recitals
I dated a guy who loved his best friend’s kids a lot. He went to their dance recitals, brought over dinner, all of it. I thought it was sweet even though he prioritized them over me a lot. Turned out he was just in love with his best friend’s wife. -E.S.
One-sided
A guy I was dating told me I was obviously not into him, and the relationship would be too one-sided, in an attempt to get me to fawn over him and convince him I did like him. He was successful. Boooooo to this man. -C.F.
