What was wrong with your last three relationships?

I saw this on TIP the other day.  Please list the fatal flaw of the person you were dating before your husband.  It doesn't have to be the reason you broke up, just what you found to be their biggest weakness.

I'll go first.

1. No communication skills

2. Boring.  Interested in opposite sex.

3. Thought we were soul mates at week 2.  Buh bye.

  • This is an interesting poll...

    1. Where to start...he was an emotionally abusive POS, he was the most conceded person I have ever known, he was very immature, he flirted with every girl he saw, and the list goes on and on and on. If you couldn't tell, I'm still pretty bitter about wasting 3 years on that jerkhead lol. But everything has a purpose, and that relationship led to some very, very life-changing things once it was over (going to church, becoming a Christian, meeting DH, having a better relationship with my brother, etc.)

    2. Not much in common, he was a drinker/smoker, NOT what I was looking for.

    3. Too clingy.

  • 1. Emotionally abusive

    2. He was my brothers' best friend and we didn't want the same thing for the future.

    3. Total d-bag (easiest way to put it). It was mainly a summer fling because we were both going off to college but he ended up cheating on me.

  • I only dated two people in high school before meeting H. Here were there flaws.

    1. He was a terrible kisser and I couldn't get past it. Loose lips sink ships.

    2. He decided we were better as friends. He was also very self-conscious about his intelligence (there was nothing wrong, just bad parenting) and I think that would have annoyed me in the long run.

  • 1. He had a girlfriend of 3 years that I didn't know about. Let's just say, he was good at juggling the 2 of us.

    2. Going no where in life at the time and cheated.

    3. Totally going no where in life and liked drinking A LOT!

  • 1. He couldn't commit and had serious judgment issues.

    2. We were in high school.

    3. We were in high school.

  • 1. He broke up with me because he thought I was psycho.  However, he had purchased an engagement ring for me, asked my dad's permission, and then never asked.  I traveled a lot at the time, so when I came home I would go surprise him at work... He thought I was "stalking" him and that I was trying to "catch" him.  About 2 months after he broke up with me he called me BAWLING saying he made a huge mistake... But it was too late.  He was a huge man-child anyway, so I'm lucky he ended things.  SUCKA.

    2. He was my BFF's cousin who lived in Chicago.  He was WAY emotionally unstable and verbally abusive.  I broke up with him over the phone after 4 months because he was C.R.A.Z.Y.

    3. This one was a marine I had dated for a year and some change, then broke up with because he was super passive and boring.  But had reconciled with after dating someone who was seriously unhinged.  We dated for about another year and I realized that even the second time around... He was super passive and boring.  Go figure.  

    I went through cycles... Crazy a$$hole then passive man-child... And back and forth.  Till I found someone who had his $hit together.  :)

  • I only really dated two guys before H - I don't call them my boyfriends because we were never official, but we were definitely seeing each other.

    1. Spent four years liking this guy - but he wouldn't commit. Said he wasn't ready for a girlfriend - but dated my best friend and a German exchange student after he told me that. And, he totally wasn't a great kisser. At all.

    2. A big man-baby. Flip-flopped between girls, could never make up his mind...then, he came to my house on New Year's Eve our senior year drunk. And started bawling like a baby. It was definitely over then.

  • 1. Too religious. As in, sex made him feel so guilty that every time it elicited a "we'll never do this again, ok???"

     

    2. Hated himself. You can't love someone else unless you are at least secure in who you are.

     

    3. Too old/mature. I was way too young and he was way too old. He kept saying things like, "we need to get married and get you pregnant!" If I'm not ready at 31, I definitely wasn't ready at 21. 

  • 1. Too scattered and different from me, but a good guy at the core. I knew what I was doing when I dated him, though. 

    2. Also a good guy. We just weren't right for each other long-term.  

  • DH and I started dating when I was 18. I didn't date too many guys before him, but the previous relationships mainly ended because we were immature and not ready for a serious relationship. They were pretty casual relationships.

    1. Cheated on me and I was leaving for college (he was a year younger and still in high school)

    2. Fizzled out after the initial excitement and felt stifled by each other within a few months 

    3. Left the country (he was an exchange student from Colombia)

  • 1.  I'm really not quite sure, he just stopped calling.  But, he was a freakin rodeo cowboy, I should have seen the writing on the wall.  It sure was fun while it lasted though Stick out tongue.

    2.  Thought the grass was greener on the other side.  Come to find out, it wasn't, and I got messages from him for years after we broke up.

    3.  High school boyfriend.  Said if we ever had kids he would let them smoke pot.

  • 1. Was too busy trying to "find himself." Maaaajor identity crisis.

    2. Liar.

    3. Alcoholic. Peace out.
