I dated a guy who was recently out of a relationship with his wife. they decided to continue living in the same house together (separate living quarters) for their daughters sake until they decided what to do with the house.(first red flag, but I thought, I would give it a try and see what happens)..well after 6 months of dating, there were no plans for them to sell, her (ex wife) new boyfriend had pretty much moved in and she wanted me to come hang out with her and all of them. Needless to say, I said no, never, nada…huge red flag!! I got out right away…to this date, I hear they are still all living under one roof! yuck.

Huge red flag for me is the ever too clean guy. I once went out with a guy who had a serious OCD issues. We would be sitting at a restaurant and he would start inspecting all the stemware and plates. If there was a speck of water on either he would make a huge deal out of it and actually leave the establishment if they didn’t bring back something shining (to his standards). If I touched anything in his car (like air freshener) he would readjust it immediately. He made me feel very on edge.

Dating a man for about a month. Having dinner with him when my phone rings. Call display shows that it is his phone that is calling me. I say “Jason, are you sitting on your cell phone?”. He says “No, why?”. I say “Because you are calling me.”. He grabs the phone and runs into the backyard. When he returns he claims that is ex-girlfriend is nuts, has broken into his apartment, gone through his phone and is ripping his apartment apart and that he needs to leave ASAP. He leaves and 5 minutes later the phone rings again, so I answer. The woman on the other end of the line asks “Who is this?, to which I respond “excuse me, but this is my phone who is this?”, to which she responds “I am Jason’s wife!”. I was so shocked and horrified (I DO NOT DATE MARRIED MEN, let’s be clear) all I could do was squeak out “I am SO SORRY”. Jason calls me back an hour later to apologize for leaving so abruptly. I say to him “is there anything you want to tell me?”, he says “No, why?”, I respond “well, that’s not what your WIFE has to say”. Now wait for it because this is the most outrageous thing anyone has ever said to me in my entire life. Here it comes…..he says….”IT WAS REALLY JUST A VERY SMALL WEDDING”!!! Can you believe that???? As though it’s a sliding scale issue or something? Like he was only just a little married because only a few people came to the ceremony. Unbelievable!!! Needless to say I never saw him again….what a jerk. His wife called me the following day and was very respectful and polite and begged me to tell her what was going on as he was obviously lying to her and she just needed to know the truth. I told her everything and apologized profusely (I truly didn’t know however). She also dumped him like a hot potato. What a creep!

I had moved in with this man that I thought I was going to marry. We hadn’t been living together for two weeks when he started acting funny.
I am a Reiki Master and don’t put up with most crap, but this knocked me out of my “love” haze and saw me seeing red for quite some time:
Since I had a color printer, he wanted me to print out fake receipts so he could claim more money on his income tax!!!!!
That was it.

A trip to Vegas is just what i need! I recently got out of a 7 year relationship. It is the most difficult thing i have ever gone through. No one said break ups were easy, but noone ever said they were this hard either. In my situation it ended very badly, but now that time has passed the anger has allowed me to remember the memories we shared, ones that i will never forget. My other best friend is going through a similar situation, and its weird how timing works. It’s almost like a “domino affect.” This contest couldn’t of come at a better time!

My worst relationship was super hard to escape! When you date someone who likes to be in control, they don’t really like it when you try to leave them. Every time I tried to break-up with him he would tell me “You can’t, I need you in my life right now…” Well not only is that a selfish reason for him to have wanted me to stay with him…it also has the “right now” aspect which means that he was still not sure about forever.
So I would try to break up with him and I had a million reasons and he would always convince me not to. On top of all the other problems our relationship had, one day I found out that my boyfriend had been cheating on me (which is probably where lots of the problems stemmed from in the first place).I knew if I went to see him to break up with him that he would lie his way out of it and then convince me, for the zillionth time, not to dump him. So I wrote him a descriptive and strongly worded text message instead…and *poof* no more bad relationship!
Abusive Relationships, Get Out!
