1. She was a nutjob. Dumped me for another guy after 6 months. 10 years later, she still propositions me once in a while. WTF?!
2. Way too clingy. Stuck with her for 18 months, but I had to go away for a week without her and every night she insisted that I call her (no cellphone back then, so I had to use a payphone!) and she cried on the phone. That was enough for me.
3. Great girl. Very cute, smart, talented. We dated for a year and then split up when I left for college. Wonder what she's up to these days...?
4. 3 years, broke up for a couple months one summer. I think she was bipolar. She would just really bring me down and I couldn't take it anymore. ANd I met the next girl.
5. 2 years. She was way too possessive. She would say "Sure, you can go out with your friends." And then she would insist on knowing what time I would be home. And she would call at that exact second and bitch if I wasn't home. If I didn't give her a specific time, she would just call me every 20 minutes to ask what I was up to. She was reading my e-mail. And lying about. I work in network security. I had logs to prove what she was up to. Gimme a break. She had graduated from college and I was looking for an out because I knew I didn't want to get engaged or move in with her. I bumped into someone else...that was as good an excuse as any.
