Ghastly Guitars

“Guitarists. I knew I couldn’t date a musician again after he used to make me sit and watch him play guitar for hours, then get so annoyed if I spoke or looked away. He wasn’t even that good, lol.”
“Oh man, you just gave me a wicked flashback to my ex. He’d play along to his favorite songs, but he’d turn the original up really, really loud, so it was hard to hear him play. Waiting for him to finish and pretending to be enthralled. In his mom’s basement. God, what was I thinking.”
Mad Music

My ex-husband used to play music 24/7 when he got home from work. All day or night, depending on his schedule. I should mention that I can’t listen to music anymore 100% because he played it all the time; it’s partly because he was physically abusive and sent me to the hospital more than once. Every time I think about it, all I can remember is the pain and the constant music while I was getting smacked around. Now music gives me flashes of the abuse, especially early 2000’s alternative & rock bands. Urg. Just thinking about it gives me chills. Edit: I think I’m a little ‘silly’ for hating music now, even though technically, the music didn’t do anything to me.”
No Games

“Minecraft. I used to play Minecraft sooooooo much with him; we built entire cities, went on countless adventures, and we played for years. When we broke up, I found myself unable to enjoy Minecraft; playing it now just makes me crazy depressed and sad, which is a shame because I miss playing it a lot.”
So Mean

“Dressing up. I put on some red lingerie, red elbow-length satin gloves, a Santa hat, and a red skirt with white furry trim, and when I walked in, he laughed at me.”
“Well, he sounds awful. I bet you looked amazing. You’re definitely better off without him! Keep on dressing up!!”
Crazy Crumbs

“Doritos. My ex-husband ate them in bed and got crumbs everywhere. They still gross me out.”
“This is a nightmare and would drive me insane not just because of the crumbs but the chomping noises… you are a saint to allow that more than once.”
Bad TV

“How I Met Your Mother. In the early 2000s, my then-boyfriend suddenly got a new friend and went MIA for about 24 hours. When he finally contacted me again, one of the first things he said to reassure me everything was fine was, ‘Okay, yes, I slept over at her house, but we didn’t do anything; we just watched How I Met Your Mother all night.’ I could never watch that show ever again. It’s fair to say I was indeed NOT reassured!”
Friendless Ford

“Ford. He was a ‘Ford guy’ who refused anything that wasn’t Ford. So be it, brand loyalty and all. He really went overboard with it to the point where it was like fanaticism for no reason. I’d mention that I liked the new whatever, and he would go off on a tangent about how Ford did this and that. Ok, dude, I still like the Lexus.”
No More Cars

“This is going to sound insane, but every car my exes have driven is sort of ruined. Not ruined per se, but as soon as I see that make and model ANYWHERE, I immediately think of the ex that drove it. For every single ex!! Absolutely ridiculous.”
“Exactly this! My ex was so into his cars, and we spent so much time while he worked on them or driving around; there are some vehicles I see and internally cringe.”
Bad Memory

“I looked at a curtain rod, and it reminded me of my ex & made me a bit mad at the memory.”
“Sorry to hear that, man!”
Small Things

“A lot of small things. I still haven’t finished the last season of Stranger Things because he watched it with his ex and lied to me about watching it at all whenever I asked him if he wanted to watch the last two episodes with me.”
Bad Name

“Calling me pet names… he called me ‘beautiful.’ He let it slip one day. He had called all his previous partners that. Now, it makes me cringe.”
Lord of the Rings

“Lord of the Rings. Not ruined per se, but I can’t help but always think of him with LOTR, which I just find annoying.”
Another Car

“Nissan Altimas. One ex who cheated on me had a Nissan Altima. Another ex cheated on me; the girl he cheated with had a Nissan Altima. I despise those cars now. Sucks cause they’re everywhere.”
TV Choices

“For a while, it was The Good Place. It was one of our binge-shows, but we never watched the final season because it wasn’t on Netflix then. I worked at Walmart then, and they had the entire show on DVD, so I bought it for him. Before we could start it…things happened, he cheated, and we broke up. I couldn’t bring myself to watch the final season for the longest time.”
Time Travel

“Doctor Who. He repeatedly called me weird, childish, and a nerd for watching it. Saw the first episode of 11’s era and was so excited for it, and then my ex told me to grow up, so I stopped watching it and only recently started getting back into it.”
Shopping Trips

“That might sound weird but shopping for groceries and going to Sephora because he used to join me during these trips. They were kinda our silly mundane rituals together, and now it breaks my heart every time I have to do either of those things alone.”
Crazy Corgis

“Corgis. He loved them and wanted to get one one day. I probably would’ve considered owning one, too, but they remind me too much of him lol. It’s ok; I found my low-rider dog.”
Mamma Mia

“Music by ABBA. I was never a huge ABBA fan by any means, but I used to be able to listen to the songs and enjoy some of them. I’d they happened to play. My ex was obsessed with Mamma Mia. She’d watch it all the time and play the soundtrack nearly constantly. Over and over and over. And over. She was abusive as well, so now whenever an ABBA song plays, it just makes me think of her, and frankly, I’d rather not.”
Rude and Religious

“Super religious people. I went to one family dinner, and I knew I couldn’t deal with this, lol. They were so corny, and the food was so bland.”
Troublesome Telly

“Teletubbies, they dressed up as the green one for a fancy dress, and it haunted my dreams; I had zero romantic attraction towards him for weeks. Thank god Teletubbies aren’t something I have to worry about daily.”
Freaky Funkos

“Those Funko pop vinyl figurine things…whatever. He used to sink so much of his money into them – especially the rare/exclusive ones, so they were more expensive – and stack them all on top of his dresser, at the bottom of the bed. And they’d stare at me with their cold dead eyes… Can’t stand them now.”
