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.

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.
