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.

This prompted one Twitter user to ask people what are some of the most embarrassing things they have done in their relationships with not-so-good significant others, and a good number of people responded with some of their craziest stories.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the best responses, which you can scroll through and vote on below. And while you’re down there, why not let us know what you thought of them in comment form!

    He was a narcissist who wanted to see if you were capable of being manipulated. Unfortunately, you were.

    It’s the classic “you make me feel bad for telling me I make you feel bad.” Edit: You end up doubting yourself and feeling bad for hurting them. This is really tricky. Some people don't think that they're the problem. see Lauren Caswell's comment below.

    My boyfriend in College wanted me to move to Texas with him. I declined.

    Same except it was to North Carolina. We ended up staying about a week with a his married friends. He stole from them, pinned it on me, and (luckily) made it back to home state. What's worse is that I didn't immediately break up with him after that and stayed for another 2 years. I am free by the way. So happy ending.

    That’s not that big of a deal, people don’t need “friends” to move to a place. The bigger concern is the usage of these Bratz images. The guy is the one who dodged a bullet in my opinion.

    All women should remember it is THEIR hair, and they can do with it whatever THEY want.

    That's actually quite abusive behaviour..threaten to kill yourself if your partner doesn't do this or that. I hope you are okay!

    That probably saved you a lot of ongoing pain and drama if you weren't comfortable being poly in the first place!

    If in a romantic relationship I m not your 1st priority than I really don't know if it will work. Emergency & family aside. It should be how it is. 2 way street ofcourse

    Some people are just don't have the mindset or heart to listen to lyrics or understand the meaning of your playlist. For me that does not make you a dummy. It makes you one of a dying breed. A true romantic.

    He would put engagement rings on my finger, take them off, then say, "I don't know why you think our relationship is more serious than it really is." I continued the relationship a few more months until he told me he would be working 6 days a week, on his day off he'd be doing laundry and would have no time for me. He expected me to sit by the phone and wait for me to call and be ready to run back into his arms. Finally realized he was a pompous-all-about-me jerk and I deserved better than that.
