When he said "Speak when Spoken to" at me in a room full of his friends when I said something. His friends congratulated me when I dumped him.
Then why were they his friends? That would be the last time I hang out with my friend if he said some c**p like that.
“Andrew Tate has some points….“ I yelled at him for an hour.
I honestly only know that he's a misogynist and s*x trafficker. And while I've heard him say many things, I've never heard him make a point. But I suppose his head is quite pointy.
He said that he rather go to work than come with me to hospital. I was going there to give birth to our deceased son.
This one triggered me. My mom had to do this. My brother Gabriel died a few hours after being born. She knew there was no hope when she went to the hospital, she is a doctor herself. But all the training and preparation means nothing in that situation. It broke her. I was 6 years old. And I remember she wouldn't come out of her room for weeks. She just cried and slept. Eventually she was able to overcome her grief. But it took a long time. I hope this lady is okay, and has support.
He asked me why my stomach was so disgusting a few weeks after I birthed our son.
When he asked me what if I catch him cheating on me with my own sister in the future. My sister was 6 at that time.
Told me to delete duolingo cuz the notifications were flirty.
I told her I was getting a haircut and she said I'd have to be careful not to get it too short or I'll look like my mom. My mom had cancer.
Had a pregnancy scare and when the test came back negative he said “maybe you should stop eating so much then you wouldn’t think you’re pregnant.”
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you what with your head shoved so far up your a*s
Back when I dated men, I had an ex who attempted to “train” me to be quiet using a hand signal like a dog.
He cried to me for three days that he was in love with my best friend and wanted both of us.
"Girls aren't really supposed to talk about that with men" I said I was on my period.
The first thing was “block him rn I don’t want u talking to other guys.” It was my brother.
“Save the acting for Hollywood” when I told him I was in labor. Drove myself to the hospital, had the baby alone. Happily divorced.
"I could make you fear me if I wanted to." What do u mean brochacho.
The day my mom passed away, he was like “ again you never wanna talk to me about me, or how I feel” and I was like “ I’m sorry, my mom passed away 3 hrs ago??” And he answered, “what does that have to do with what I said?”
When he said “hey wanna be poly? If you’re included she might say yes this time” (the girl he was talking about had rejected him 3 times already).
Told me he had girls sliding into his DMs and could leave me for them whenever he wanted. Later said it was to motivate me to try harder.
“You need to realize your emotions rub off on other people so just get over it” he said that to me while I was grieving my dad who had passed.
That he didn’t want to get a vasectomy cause what if he wanted to have kids with someone else.
Vasectomies can be reversible, whereas that statement is out there forever
“You’re a strong woman you can get through this” TO ME after I was bawling my eyes out after I found out he cheated.
After my car broke down in his town he told me he couldn't get help because his friends would think I was a solid 4/10 and he was embarrassed.
When I told him I was sitting at the bus stop in the dark at 9:30 at night and he said "stay safe" before he drove past me to go home from his evening college class, my house was literally on the way home for him.
he kissed his girl bestfriend when he was drunk in front of me and then asked me “this is ok with u right?” and I said yes.
I have a girl best friend. I kiss her all the time, but never on the mouth. Her breath smells like dog food. My other girl best friend won't let anyone kiss her, but she does like to ride on my shoulders, and sometimes she lets me rub her belly for a second before she claws my hand to shreds. It's still worth it. The two of them have an uneasy truce.
He convinced me to help him organize a bday surprise party for his ex, which I partially had to end up financing cause he was broke. My bday was weeks before, he did nothing for me.
“I know how to manipulate people and could manipulate you… but I won’t.” Spoiler alert he definitely tried.
"I sometimes think about poisoning the burgers and giving them to homeless people" LIKE WHY DID I STAY, WHAT THE HELL WHY DID I JUST BRUSH PAST THAT.
Because we want the person we love to deserve that love. So we pretend the red flags are invisible so that we can convince ourselves that we have what we deserve, and asking for more is selfish.
When he said he pays a £50 monthly subscription fee to Andrew Tate for ‘male motivation.’
He asked me to drop him off and drive myself home as he had to go to a meeting on our way back from hospital with our newborn. I’d had a caesarian…. I did and carried the baby in by myself.
Another great example of why men should not get a vote in regard to anything regarding pregnancy or childbirth.
He said his ex gf was crazy. I should’ve known better.
This depends on the pattern. Is he incapable of taking accountability? Basically, does he have one crazy ex, or all they all crazy exes? Then again, how crazy is she? Because if she's dangerous, it doesn't matter and you should stay away
Bro saw me wake up in panic crying and struggling to breathe and his reaction was “Awwww you’re so cute! Don’t hide your face, I like seeing you cry :3”
The night before he was supposed to visit me he told me “someone broke in and stole our passports.”
Told me to not take painkillers when I’m on my period because they’re too strong. THAT'S THE POINT??? I have endometriosis, let me have my pills in peace.
2 years into this relationship and I was trying to talk to her about how needs to get her license and a job cause I can only do so much and she threw a temper tantrum saying “you’re acting like my dad.”
“Our babies are gonna be so cute” when I said that I never wanted to have kids and that we agreed on that when we started dating.
Said my major (cell and molecular biology) doesn’t require any actual critical thinking. I stayed for 5 years btw.
Told me to not wear my binder because it made HIM uncomfortable.
Bought one for my non-binary kid. It's like Spanx, but to make your chest smaller as to appear less feminine. I can't imagine it's comfortable to wear. But it makes them happy. I'm guessing bro was not comfortable with his partner's gender identity.
"Is it okay if another guy can be my Valentine?" Is she mad????
Huh? What does it mean to be someone's Valentine? I haven't heard this outside the context of small children.
Told me i can't be bisexual cause my sexuality is him.
“I can have girl friends you can't have guy friends because we are different.” I dropped my guy friends for him.
Asked him to not flirt with other girls and his response was “ughhh, ig I’ll try.” Like I was asking him to compete in the Olympics.
“Are you seriously scared of me now?!” As I curled up in the corner covered in the glass from the window he’d just pushed me into.
She said “there’s plenty of people who want me, don’t think you’re not replaceable.”
I have an ex who said that to me. Also that she should be allowed to take me for granted.
Commented on how I was much skinnier when we first met and that he used to like my slim arms. Yes I eventually left him.
I asked him to hang out once and he told me he was busy , then proceeded to make plans with his friends IN FRONT OF ME.
“I don’t have empathy for things I’ve never experienced myself.”
“When you’re not around I literally don’t even think about you.”
“I will never go out of my comfort zone for you. Anything that I don’t want to do I won’t do for you.”
When I asked why he cheated on me and he said “we were in a rough place and I thought I could do better.”
Told me we won't have conversations unless I start them. When I refused he ignored me for the whole day until I caved. Broke up with him two weeks later.
He said that he was still in love with his ex but that he loved me too but at the same time he wasn’t ready to be committed in a relationship but again he didn’t want me to date anyone..
He would literally shush me like put his finger over my mouth at the dinner table in front of his whole family.
he told me he was going to a party then he cried because he was too scared he would cheat on me. I told him not to go then but he said i want to have fun though. then he went to the party and two weeks later he broke up with my because he needed to focus on drama class.
When I was going in for a tumor removal surgery, he said “I wish you the best of luck” dropped me off and went to a car meet.
I was acting cute when he laughed and I said “why are u laughing? Are u saying that I’m a clown to u?” (Hoping he would compliment me and say no) instead he said “no honey you’re not a clown… you’re the WHOLE CIRCUS including the elephant” I cried myself to sleep after that but didn’t end it Idk why.
He told me he didn’t have to brush his teeth today because he had a free pass on his birthday?
I sent a picture of my bird on my shoulder thinking it was a cute photo and then my ex replied to it saying “cheating on me with a bird is crazy” I was like oh aha because I thought he was joking but then he ignored me for 2 hours all because I was caring for my budgie.
Took my mum out for a coffee once, my ex texted me "since when do you drink coffee?" - She was jealous of everything.
You wear that to the gym🙄 mind you I was literally wearing a Lululemon zip up and tights- man didn't want me wearing that like ok.
He spoke about his ex girlfriend so much it drove me to insanity, one of his main points was she got with another guy two months after they broke up. Anyways I got with my now boyfriend 2 months after I broke up with him #thecyclecontinues.
Made me turn off the movie a star is born because he started crying saying he was worried I would get famous for singing and leave him. I never actually saw the ending.
“I didn’t realise I had to think of the other persons feelings while I’m in a relationship with them.”
Back in high school, he made a list of ranking all the girls in the grade, I was an 8.5 and my bsf was a 10.
when I told him I wanted to stop taking birth control bc I could get cancer, he seemed upset and then said very seriously "so you'll be bald?"
“I don't like people who have hair on their bodies, but yours is okay because it's you” erm what.
He was sad that I didn't love him more than Jesus. Mind you JESUS CHRIST THE GOD?!?!
But he is the most impotent/important man in your life why wouldn’t you love him more?
She couldn't always tell me she loved me because sometimes "she just didn't feel like that."
He told me he wanted to marry me the first day we met each other in person (we had been talking for less than 2 weeks and werent even official).
