1. “I once broke up with a guy because he hated showering alone. Not only was it annoying, it was just weird, like you’re a grown man, just take a damn shower by yourself, you don’t need my help. It would take me like 2 hours to straighten my hair and then he’d make me hop in the shower that same night. WTF!” —Hilary, 26

2. “One of my exes had an obsession with grooming his eyebrows. He’d legit pluck them every morning AND get them waxed. I understand if your self conscious and don’t want to look like the ugly version of Joe Jonas, but when you start to criticize my eyebrows it has gone too far.” —Claire, 24

3. “I had only been on about 4 or 5 dates with this kid, but when he finally invited me over to his place, he had stuffed animals on the bed, and I don’t mean like eclectic decorative pillows, I mean like legit stuffed animals. There was an elephant, a giraffe, I think there was even a moose. He basically had the zoo on his bed. After that night I told him I wasn’t looking for anything serious, which was partially true anyway.” —Jenna, 24

4. “I was dating a guy that I’d been seeing for about 2 months, and I was well aware that he enjoyed going out a lot. I didn’t have a problem with it, I’m always up for a good time, but one night he took me to a strip club without even telling me where we were going beforehand. I kept asking and he kept saying, ‘It’s a surprise.’ A strip club, to me, isn’t a surprise, it’s just you wanting to see naked chicks dancing around a pole. I’ve been to a few strip clubs before, but the way he went about it was so weird. If you want to take me to a strip club just tell me. Don’t pull up to the parking lot and be like, ‘Surprise.'” —Cassie, 25
