Reasons why you left your girlfriend

[BucksFizz]

I'm not a particularly good looking man and I often wonder why any woman would want to lie-down next to me so you could say I have no right to dump anyone yet when I get it into my head that I want to leave a relationship then my mind is pretty much set, when the subject comes up for discussion some of the reasons seem to split opinion.

A few examples include;

• She would nag me all the time and come home from work in a bad mood and sulk in the corner, she always made me feel like I had done something wrong and that alone would put me in a bad mood.

• One had a history or cancer, strokes, and another nasty hereditary diseases in the family which I didn't want passed to my children.

• A few months in with a girl I met on Tinder she said she goes out with me because "I don’t look like a cheater", too ugly to cheat I think she meant.

• 12 months in and I found out I wasn't her type, she likes tanned lads with blonde hair, muscles and tattoos…the polar opposite of me and especially strange because again we met on Tinder, I set her free so she could find someone more in keeping with her type.

• One was very ditsy and we had many misunderstandings which ended up with countless arguments, not only that but I would never trust her with kids or anything more important than the weekly shop.

• One wanted to get married and said if I don't marry her in X amount of years she would leave me, again I set he free so she could find someone who wanted the same.

At first glance the above may reflect badly on both them or I and give you the impression of a dysfunctional relationships yet with the exception of these points the relationships were all quite good, shame really.

My current girlfriend gave me a similar ultimatum about marriage and I told her it will never happen and I explained what had happened in the past and we almost had the same outcome, she claims it broke her heart at the time but has come to accept it.

So, I am just wondering what other peoples experiences were?

I discovered her ex was not only the local nutter but also had a gun!

And here I was thinking I was a fk up

Cheers OP, you've made me feel just a little bit better about myself.

[grumbledoak]

I left one because I wasn't going to marry her and I felt I was wasting her time. In hindsight, I should probably have married that one! But in truth there are no lessons in looking back. No way to try both paths.

But I do agree with the first thing you mentioned: as soon as you get that "should I leave her?" thought, you may as well do it then. It never goes away.

Where's the guy who wanted to dump his gf cos she didn't earn enough or have enough ambition

[Rob_R]

Left her because she had borderline personality disorder and constantly gaslighted me.

To be fair, I'd say the primary reason she was so messed up was her psychotic parents. I just wasn't prepared to deal with it, and neither I think, was she.

Found a better one.

Wanted kids!

[alorotom]

Ran the car off the road (A19) to try and kill us when I told her it wasn't working out - I prob could have picked a better time but she was crazy

Took a golf club to every panel and piece of glass on my Corrado

I have a history of attracting the kerazeee

She got jealous of shakira calling me everyday to go on a date.

Been a while, but here are a few of mine:

- She had horrendous breath and would never accept chewing gum whenever I offered.

- We knew each other for a while before, but on our first night together she had really hairy legs. There was no second run.

- Sent me too many text messages. Literally constantly all day. I realised she really had a problem when we were in the pub and she texted me whilst I was in the toilet. Just fk off and leave me alone!

- She was vegetarian and disapproved of me eating meat. She also moaned at how much beer I drink. No-one gets between me, my food and beer.

- Finally, one of my mates took the piss out of her (very minor) and she went absolutely nuts at him, then went nuts at another for telling her to calm down. Then went nuts at me for laughing. I think at that point it was either end it, or die.

Religious reasons, I was brought up as a catholic, and she was Satan.

Yes been there done that. Also had the going psyco if I didn't respond back within 5 mins. Tried to go through my phone and quiz me me on who all the calls were from, and then was suprised when I simply left and never came back.

She stayed at her Auntie's house one night whilst her ex was currently living there as a lodger. She told me they even slept in the same bed - but that "nothing happened.....honest"

She was given the elbow then and there.

Pretty much how it ended for me too. I went back to Uni and ignored her for a few days.

[TwigtheWonderkid]

Every girlfriend I ever dumped was for exactly the same reason. Because they told me to fk off and that they never wanted to see me again, whilst throwing my stuff out the window. So I told them we were finished.

Ha....that'll teach 'em.

[NickM450]

I can honestly say that I don't know why I split with the last one!?

Things were great, we talked about our future, marriage, kids, houses etc., everythng was going great and I had never been as happy in a relationship. Then 4 days before we were supposed to move in together it ended.

Still have no idea if it was the right thing to do or the biggest mistake of my life, only time will tell I guess
