Here's this week's most outrageous relationship red flag story from the editors of The Little Black Blog of Big Red Flags. The Story: Over the two years we were dating and six months we lived together, my ex never let on that she was unhappy with our relationship. Then, one night, I forgot to pick up hamburger buns, and she ripped me a new one.
She brought up a list on her computer of all the times I had done something over our relationship that upset her or pissed her off. Then she screamed the misdemeanors at me while hysterically crying. While it was obvious that bottling things up had turned small things into one massive blowout, I understood some of her issues and genuinely felt bad. I apologized, but she continued reading.
As the list went on, the complaints got very picky and eventually flat-out catty. For example, she didn't like the way I made the bed, thought my glasses made me look like a pedophile and called my sister an OCD weirdo. She was lucky I made the bed! And she had helped pick out my glasses. But, that last one pushed me over the edge because she knew my sis had been battling an eating disorder for her entire adult life, and that I was sensitive about the issue.
In a completely immature (but I think warranted) counterattack, I told her I hated her inverted nipples, which she announced was "taking it too far." It was OK to make fun of someone with a disease, but her boobs were too far? What a psycho.

It isn't a "red flag" if it's after 2.5 years..., red flags are things early on that (should) give you a "red flag" for what you might see eventually or later. They are like early-warning-signals. This particular example should really be about all the missed red flags from before, the bun-blowout being the resulting/eventual meltdown behavior. Ya!

How do you manage to find stories written by men who are dealing with issues equally as deep as those laughably women's?

why do people keep a list of how many times you did something wrong? to remind yourself just how pissed you should be? How's that working out for you? let it go.
