We wanted to know – what are the biggest bullets to dodge?
He Hadn’t Actually Told His Ex They Were Broken Up.
One Reddit user shared:
“…Just that they needed to ‘take a break.’ I should have taken a break, too, at that point.”

You’re Going to Hurt Your Best Friend Real Bad If You Keep It Up
“The biggest red flag I ignored was the one I was waving in my own face every time I chose to lie about or omit something to avoid hurting my wife’s feelings.”
You’re Going to Hurt Your Best Friend Real Bad If You Keep It Up
‘Happy spouse, happy life’ is a big fat lie, people.”
One-Sidedness
If you’re the one always making the effort.
One-Sidedness

He Showed Up With One Black Garbage Bag of His Belongings
“…but said it was because his place burnt down. Our place must have burnt down as well, ’cause he left with a black garbage bag of his belongings a little over a year later!”
She Invented Drama
“Sometimes the drama she had with other people didn’t make sense. Like I’d ask, “what did they say?” and she would generalize in a vague way.”
She Invented Drama
“Turns out she invented drama (including faking phone calls, emails, and text messages). She couldn’t give me exact words because there were no exact words.”
Late Night Hook-Ups
“Meeting me late evening/at night, mostly in the car driving around or places like McDonald’s and Subway. I thought he was just busy.”
Late Night Hook-Ups
“After that, I learned to ignore everyone who proposes first dates at 22.30 and ‘driving around and hanging out”
High Turnover of Staff

My Exes Are All Crazy
“3 ‘crazy baby mommas.’ They were not, in fact, crazy; he was the f*****g insane one, lol.”
S*** Talker
“He talked major s*** about ALL of his friends constantly. I never even considered that he was doing the same thing to them about me.”
I Have a Tinder Account to Make New Friends
“Then why doesn’t your bio specify that?” She changed her bio to shut me up. I still had a bad feeling, so I had a buddy of mine hit her up on there, and she said she was single.
If You Love Me, You’d…
A Reddit user shared: “I got ‘if you love me, you let me do whatever I want’ (sleep with other women).”
A Love of Drama
“She always had a nemesis. Even after she cut them from her life, two more enemies would sprout up. It was her causing all the drama in the end.”
They Know How To Twist The Knife
“They once bragged about how they knew “how to twist the knife.” At the time, I just brushed it off, but needless to say, it didn’t end well. People will tell you who they are. You just have to listen.”
Love Bombing
“I constantly fall for it because it makes you feel validated and wanted. I’ve recently learned that if you set a boundary early, they tend to bounce (almost maliciously, too), because they feel you’re less accessible as a target.”
Extreme Jealousy
“By the time I broke it off, she was digging deep into insanity. Saying I was attracted to my sister-in-law and my actual sister.”
Extreme Jealousy
“She had banned me from speaking to female coworkers and frequently grabbed my phone out of my hands to sift through my text messages.”

He Referred To Her As A Dumb B****

Her Friends Were Astonished at How Nice She Was to Me

Dog’s Instincts
