Some Serious Dealbreakers
Sit-Down
When my dad gave me the “I don’t think she’s good enough for you” talk for about the fifth time. After that I sat and thought about what he had said and tried to imagine her and I in the future, and just knew I wouldn’t be happy. (Cyanide_Revolver)
Deployment
He deployed for a year. I was faithful throughout the entire deployment, and we stayed in constant contact through fb messenger.
Then he came home and ignored me to constantly go out with his friends or just do things that I wasn’t invited to. He would expect me to come over to his house so I could sit on the couch and watch tv while he mowed the lawn or while he visited his friends.
After about two months, when I realized how far apart we’d grown, I told him that I’d felt closer to him when he was in Kuwait. Now, he’d barely touch me, never talk to me, just wanted me “around” so he knew I wasn’t with anyone else.
His response was “Well, it was f**king deployment. I didn’t have shit else to do BUT talk to you then.”
So I stopped talking to him. (iliketosnuggle)
Babying
When he started treating our toddler the same way he treated me. When he treated me badly, I rationalised it away as being all my fault, but nothing could convince me a baby deserved to be treated like that. And once I had that realisation, I realised that I’d never deserved it either. (pie12345678)
