30 People Tweet Embarrassing Stuff They Did While In Love With Total Losers
Relationships—we’ve all been there. To some degree, anyway. And though it’s to some extent rainbows and butterflies, romance and all that good stuff, it’s also in part being dumb and making mistakes ‘cause we’re all human and relationships are hard, man!
Well, former journalist Christie Smythe’s recently confessed her love for Martin Shkreli, former hedge fund manager and now convicted felon—securities fraud and racking up HIV meds’ prices by 5,000%—explaining how she left her own husband for Shkreli, quit her job, and even froze her eggs for him.

Wow what the fûck. I wonder what the rest of the relationship was like.
SGR, Self Golden Rule...Do onto yourself, as you would have others do into you. Think highly of yourself, so others can.
Been on both sides of the “dating losers”, I feel this tho, done some crazy stuff for love.
He was a narcissist who wanted to see if you were capable of being manipulated. Unfortunately, you were.
Wow. Insane clown posse. Haven't thought about them in years.
Ok ok some of these are bad but THIS is a whole new level! My heart goes out to her ;(
That’s so sad and hurtful! I can’t believe people are like this.
God for you to think of yourself now. This sure will make you a lot happier!
That's actually quite abusive behaviour..threaten to kill yourself if your partner doesn't do this or that. I hope you are okay!
That probably saved you a lot of ongoing pain and drama if you weren't comfortable being poly in the first place!
If in a romantic relationship I m not your 1st priority than I really don't know if it will work. Emergency & family aside. It should be how it is. 2 way street ofcourse
Some people are just don't have the mindset or heart to listen to lyrics or understand the meaning of your playlist. For me that does not make you a dummy. It makes you one of a dying breed. A true romantic.
He would put engagement rings on my finger, take them off, then say, "I don't know why you think our relationship is more serious than it really is." I continued the relationship a few more months until he told me he would be working 6 days a week, on his day off he'd be doing laundry and would have no time for me. He expected me to sit by the phone and wait for me to call and be ready to run back into his arms. Finally realized he was a pompous-all-about-me jerk and I deserved better than that.
Thank you bored panda: an article that actually makes me feel good about being single. This was a great reminder of how awful intimate relationships can sometimes be. Definitely don't need any of that crap in my life!
It’s amazing how challenging it can be to even love a good person, let alone these incredibly shîtty people. I’m not single, I’m actually in the best relationship of my life but it’s still not always easy. I don’t blame people for wanting to go alone, but I also understand why people like me want companionship.

of all the times I felt fortunate I was born Aromantic and not crippling disappointment why I'm not "normal", this is one of them. man, relationship is too big of a gamble to make it worth my while.
it really is a gamble :( you never truly know what you got unless you put some time in it first (also why im always worried when i hear ppl get married after 1-2 yrs of relationship)

I dated somebody who convinced me that me asking "can I call?" was intrusive and selfish. never mind the fact that he had me asking permission to make a phone call to him.
I feel really sorry that all the people in this thread had to deal with this kind of abusive behavior, I'm glad that they at least got away from it though! Never dismiss big red flags as, "Eh, but they're a good person otherwise!". Too many red flags and that relationship can just be labeled toxic as quick as possible. Fortunately, I have never been in a relationship like these.
I am grateful to have never been in these situations, nor this "hung up" on someone.
Good luck to you in the future, Cupid is a bit of a sneaky brat.

while i won't go into what i consider stupid things i did while in a relationship what i will share is that i am very happy to be independently single. sadly, my experiences have made me very shy about even considering getting into a relationship at this point but not so much because i don't think that there is anyone i would trust or would be 'good enough' for me. it is because i don't think i would be able to allow myself to share myself so freely as i used to. but, you know what? i am totally okay with that. but, that would not be fair to another person.
I suspect that most of these ignored their better instincts, thinking, "Maybe it's me." It never is.
Somewhere there is a house, a car, a pool and a lifestyle I helped EX boyfriend buy or build that I have never seen. Expensive lessons.
