boyfriend

This clever boyfriend outdid himself. He managed to photobomb his girlfriend for a month, by taking engagement ring pictures, without her having any idea about it. And to make matters all the better, she ended up saying yes, when it was all said and done! Romance isn't as dead as we previously thought. 

Landlords always seem to promise things like working dishwashers and hot water, but sometimes fall short of their ability to provide an adequate living situation in exchange for your cash. Rent is expensive too, so paying a whole lot to live in a place with a terrible landlord who doesn't fix anything is an absolute nightmare. When this woman's boyfriend was being taken advantage of, she stepped in and made it too expensive for the landlord to NOT get the washing machine fixed.

Mark sounds like an insecure case of serious red flags. He's asking his girlfriend in this situation to just "unlove" all of her past boyfriends. Not only is that a bit extra, but very strange phrasing. Sounds like this relationship's going to need some serious growth and boundary work if it's going to go anywhere. 

This guy unknowingly left his girlfriend at a random gas station out in a desert in Arizona. From the moment of his panicked realization to when he went and rescued her, he drove faster than he ever had in his whole life. Apparently he assumed that his relationship was up in flames due to his forgetfulness. 

This girl mistakenly traumatized her now ex-boyfriend by enclosing him in a space with tons of butterflies. The real kicker here is that the poor guy was already deathly afraid of moths. Sounds like things just weren't working out for these two. Can't imagine the look on his face when this happened. 

It's as if this dude's goal was to breakup with his girlfriend without actually having to do the damn thing. When you find yourself in life thinking about charging your girlfriend for snacks, it is a dire time for a relationship assessment. Seems like a solid case of looking for a weak excuse to dip the ship. In this case the girlfriend actually finds out about his post! How about that. 

If you thought it would be a good idea to break up with your significant other on the first hour into a long car ride, you're gonna need a stern talking to. Breakups can lead to unsavory moments, like this desperate guy had to resort to, but it's best to go through with them if they're necessary. Just try not to do them like this.

Her boyfriend doesn't have a choice after this. A+ effort all around. 

This girl discovered her now ex-boyfriend was cheating. So, she organized a "sting operation" with another woman. The cheater ends up chickless, homeless, and jobless. A pretty brutal ending for a dirtbag move on his part. 

Sometimes you find yourself recovering from a gnarly breakup where your girlfriend cheated on you, and you decide that you just need Reddit to roast the absolute crap out of you. This guy found himself in a world of hurt, so he asked for the roasters of Reddit to do their worst. They didn't disappoint. 

Long story short, let's all just be nice to each other. This powerful Tumblr post identifies all those messed up, toxic things that have no business existing in a healthy relationship between partners. 

This story is absolutely not for everyone, so hey, don't come at us in the comments saying you weren't already warned. Anyway, putting on relationship goggles, this is first and foremost a trust issue, and probably a legitimate fear this guy has. A ridiculous and overblown fear? Yeah, probably. Do they make relationship therapists for this kind of thing? Who knows. For a similarly...obscure(?) relationship story, here's a panicked guy who had to interrogate his girlfriend over a stinky sock mystery.

This guy asked the internet if he's a jerk for spoiling Game of Thrones for his girlfriend cause she forgot about his birthday. Many people have since responded saying that they're both acting like children in this situation. That being said, any Game of Thrones fan will understand that spoiling that show for anyone is a coldhearted, cruel move. That guy dug deep for his little "revenge."

Hanging out with your SO's parents can be stressful, but the levels of awkward present here are off the charts. I guess the moral of the story is keep your face cleaner to yourself? Or don't be an awkward dad? Not sure, but someone definitely screwed up here. For more stories of awkward, here are people's most shameful and embarrassing moments.

Talk about beating someone at their own game. It's almost as if he became her muse with his own crappiness. It's acts of simple and fantastic revenge like these that make our days a little brighter.
