Surprise

For my birthday, he handed me an ornate envelope. I thought it would be a voucher or plane ticket, but no. It was his shaved pubic hair. He chuckled while my family and I stared in shock. I thought I was going to be sick.

Report

Report
We’d been “dating” for two weeks when I broke up with him because I couldn’t handle his clinginess. He called constantly and sent around 40 messages a day. It was unbearable. On Friday, I told him it was too much and I was done. I blocked his number and stayed at my friend’s place. The next morning, I turned on my phone to find tons of messages and missed calls—from my parents, friends, everyone. That crazy night, he reported me missing at my dorm’s front desk, which led to my parents being called and all my friends frantically searching until I woke up.

We’d been together for two years when I introduced him to a close coworker who he immediately fell for. From the start, he didn’t hide it. While moving out of our shared apartment, he casually asked me to photograph her breasts in the gym locker room after her workout. My poor coworker ended up having to report him to the police for harassment. I was so ashamed for introducing them, but honestly, he seemed completely normal for two years...

Fantasy

Fantasy
Every few months, he asked if I was into “rape fantasy,” meaning role-playing sexual assault. I always said no firmly. Once, he said, “We’ll try it for real someday, and I bet you’ll enjoy it.” That night, I moved out.

Unfiltered

Unfiltered
He was a nudist—I wasn’t—but I accepted that about him. After six months, when he still couldn’t get me to join, he called me narrow-minded and told me to find a similarly covered-up jerk. When my mom and sister came to help me move out, he deliberately opened the door naked and sat spread-eagle on the couch until we finished packing.

Throw

Throw
He kicked the table in anger, then grabbed it and slammed it against the wall with my laptop, glasses, and a vase on it. I should have left then, but we stayed together for two more years. He never hurt me, but had at least one rage episode a month where he broke something. Once, I invited friends over to watch a game, and when his team was losing, he punched the brand-new TV he’d bought the week before. Everyone was shocked, but I had gotten used to it by then.

Anonymous

Anonymous
We met at Alcoholics Anonymous. The first year was good, but then he relapsed. He couldn’t stand that I stayed sober, so he regularly spiked my drinks—adding brandy to my coffee, rum to my tea, vodka to my soda. I can’t express how hard that was for me—as a former addict—and how cruel it felt.

The Nanny

The Nanny
He wasn’t a father but a nanny to his young son because the mother was rarely home. The kid didn’t know anything—I taught him how to clean, boil water, mail bills, tip, and more. When I broke up with him, the nanny called me for months, begging to reconcile.

Blaming

Blaming
He was convinced—and often said—that women are to blame for every cheating because if they properly served their men, they wouldn’t stray. Of course, he cheated multiple times; I guess I didn’t serve him well enough.

Child

Child
We tried for years to have a baby. I went to every test, lived healthily, and blamed myself for years when it didn’t happen. Then his sister confided that he couldn’t have children—a fact they’d known since his teens.

Game

Game
He was so addicted to an online video game that he lost his job, friends, and eventually me. When I left, his room was a stinking mess, and he hadn’t showered in over a week.
