Just wondering.

So in your past relationships what went wrong and how did it end?

Me I can't say as I'm still with my 1st gf.

Just realized that we arent compatible. Moved on... I barely talk to her now but she talks sometimes. Does not mean I dont think about her.
Whats interesting is that we started off as friends... and then it led to the demise of the friendship.

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.

one HS GF: said the "M" word too early & often (we were both 17).
another HS GF: lied to & cheated on me.
one college GF: paranoid (literally)
another college GF: vacant mentally & emotionally.

that's enough bad memories for now.

Geez, too many to remember what went wrong.

General reasons were
1. way too clingy, dependent. Dammit woman you need to love yourself...I can't complete you.
2. just grow apart
3. she didn't put out enough
4. too annoying
5. mean
6. depressed
7. hypochondriac
8. ugly person (on the inside)
9. found somebody better
10. wishy-washy
11. flaky
12. over critical (I mean come on...so I used the wrong fork at the restaurant...no need to get all bent out of shape)



Something along the lines of letting her go on a cruise with her girlfriends would be the biggest reason.

Well it wasn't ALL her fault.

But it WAS mostly her fault.

I guess the fact she had been married 3 times before WE met should have tipped me off.

most memorable - he wasn't a talker. i mean he really hardly spoke. it was real odd.
funny thing is now he has a job where he has to speak a lot.
*waves to Mike if he reads this* :p

1st long term girl... I moved away to take some classes and we grew apart even though we meant to stay together...

2nd long term girl... lied to me one to many times. But honestly I made a few mistakes of my own in this one...

I don't think I'll have another long term live-in girlfriend anytime in the distant future!:p

1. i wasn't ready for marriage and this girl was. i was too immature and ended up hurting her.
2. lots of dating and such but no significant relationships as i was trying to figure myself out
3. nice girl, wonderful person. great friend. cute. but i couldn't stand her giggling and I still wanted to screw around.
4. good friend. outgoing. hot body and perky personality. but not wife material. likes to work and parties a bit too much.
5. i loved this one deeply. wanted to marry her. but she is EXTREMELY INSECURE. INSECURE. INSECURE. INSECURE. And CLINGY!!! Every time I work a little late, she'd think I'd be cheating on her or neglecting her. She ended dumping me for another guy and pinned the blame on me for everything. She f*cked with my mind, body and soul. Glad it's over.

1st - a charmer with no self esteem, very selfish, very impulsive; diagnosed over the last years of marriage with: depression, social anxiety, and finally (as I was booting his a** out the door) sexual addiction with borderline personality disorder traits. I have no direct contact with him - at this point I just watch from the sidelines (have kids) enjoying how good life is without him, and slowly watch him self destruct

2nd - a good guy, but wrong time and situation, we still talk

2 and 5.

i don't understand how ex's can be friends still. i never talked to mine afterwards. i guess she's a living remind of my stupid mistake for dating her, the time and money i wasted, hurt feelings, arguments, and general resentment. on that note, i'm flying back to see my gf in an hour :D great girl.

I've had many relationships so this is in no particular order--I'll just give some reasons:

Immaturity
Lack of experience
Emotional baggage
Big liar
Self-absorbed
Bad manners
