• (#1) You're Just Regular

  From Redditor u/raider34:

  College GF’s Dad won 1 million dollars in the state lottery over winter break. Broke up with me over the phone, telling me “now that I’m rich, I can’t afford to date regular people like you. That’s really the only thing wrong, you’re just regular.”
• (#2) A Risky Gamble

  From Redditor u/hotidit:

  "I love you so much and want to spend the rest of my life with you. We have to break up, if it's really meant to be then we will end up together again like they do in the movies."
• (#3) It's Just Not Ladylike

  From Redditor u/highpockets1925:

  Actually had a guy dump me because I'm a carpenter, and according to him, it's just not lady like
• (#4) It's Not You, It's Your Car

  From Redditor u/lintrules:

  I got dumped because the headlights on my car didn't come on automatically when I started my car.

  I'm assuming he had other reasons, but this is what I was told. And I love laughing at it!
• (#5) Blame Voodoo

  From Redditor u/rosiedoes:

  She thought I killed her horse (it wasn't actually her horse) with voodoo (it hung itself) because I was jealous (it was a horse.)
• (#6) A Lot To Take In

  From Redditor u/Zukazuk:

  We were 14 and I wore a tank top for the first time in his presence. Turned out I had way more cleavage than he was comfortable with and he dumped me over the phone.
• (#7) How Dare You

  From Redditor u/iamkokonutz:

  My ex's cat was named "Ben". The girl I was dating's cat was named "Bundles".

  One day, I called "Bundles", "Ben". She asked me what I just called her cat. I thought about it, and then remembered that was my ex's cat's name. I laughed and told her and she was super unimpressed. Broke up with me the next day.
• (#8) Thanks For The Popcorn

  From Redditor u/billbapapa:

  "Dumped" might be extreme, but on a first date, girl asked me to go buy her popcorn literally as the movie started, so I did, whispered as I was getting up, "you want butter on that?".

  Brought it back and she says, "Is there butter on this?" I said, "yes, I asked and you said 'yeah'" and she said, "no, I specifically said, 'nah'"...

  I thought she was joking or something, it was like a Seinfeld bit. So I said, "Well, maybe this just isn't going to work out."

  And she said, "I think you're right. Thanks for nothing."

  And f***ing left.

  But she took my popcorn. She should have thanked me for f***ing that.

  Ugh.
• (#9) Dodged A Bullet

  From Redditor u/thisguyknowswhtsup:

  Dated a chick in my early twenties, we partied a lot at the time. One night I refused to get into her car and go for the drive home since we were obliterated. She got upset, said f*** you I'll be fine on my own. Receive a call from her 36 hours later, she'd been bailed out of jail already.. "you are a f***ing a**hole, it's your fault I went to jail, I am breaking up with you." I hung up and giggled. 
• (#10) Bad Time To Mention That

  From Redditor u/SC487:

  “I’m not ready for a relationship”. I thought it was a bad time to bring that up since we were engaged and had been together for almost 2 years.
• (#11) I Choose Tuna

  From Redditor u/Buegs:

  "We have to break up. I mean, we can't even get married... you're allergic to fish!"

  She chose the occasional tuna sandwich over me. I laughed and still tell the story so I guess it's a win!
• (#12) Grow Up

  From Redditor u/BlackWhiteCat:

  We had been dating about a month and were carded at a bar. She looked at my ID and saw I was almost two months younger than her. She was mortified and said she doesn’t date younger guys because of how immature they are. We went out one more time and that was it.

  Jokes on her. I’m WAY older now and still immature!
• (#13) What A Week

  From Redditor u/negativeyoda:

  She met another guy and married him while I was visiting family in California... For 6 days
• (#14) Hurts So Good

  From Redditor u/CodeEnd:

  Made a girl smile too much.

  She had braces and it cut up the inside of her mouth.
• (#15) He Want's A Girly Girl

  From Redditor u/Sc1F1Sup3rM0m:

  Kinda dated a guy for a few months, we hung out, did outdoorsy stuff, it was cool. Went to hang out at his place for the first time and met his roommate. We all played video games. He knew I was a gamer but I think he thought I was only saying that to seem more cool as a chick or something? Dunno. Anyway...I beat him at every game we played. I wasn't overly competitive or boastful or anything, just beat him. Next thing I know he's kinda ghosting me (before ghosting was really a thing) and then he had a mutual friend of ours tell me that he got kinda scared away because I wasn't feminine enough
• (#16) Must Have Slipped His Mind

  From Redditor u/Minerva129:

  Dated exclusively for 1.5 yrs. Dumped on Thanksgiving, he forgot to tell me he was getting married that weekend...
• (#17) Prove Your Love

  From Redditor u/tree6house:

  I wouldn’t eat tomatoes to “prove I loved her”

  Obviously I’m not a fan of tomatoes or that relationship
• (#18) If Anyone Asks, I Broke Up With YOU

  From Redditor u/stephjl:

  Because I wouldn't drop the restraining order on him.

  Apparently me calling the police on him to get him out if my house, putting a restraining order on him because he was trying to kill me, and then calling the police on him when he broke the restraining order didn't mean we broke up.

  It took standing in front of a judge to extend my restraining order for him to tell me, "Whatever bi***, its over".

  Because I guess I was just joking with everything else 
• (#19) Let's Change The Subject

  From Redditor u/ionised:

  Because I asked her if -- for once -- I could talk about my day.

  Nope. Not an option.

  Looking back, thank f*** that happened, but the fallout is still immense.
• (#20) The Lord Has Spoken

  From Redditor u/WaggDagg:

  "God told me not to date you. I'm sorry."

  And guess what: this happened TWICE.

  (With two different girls)
• (#21) The Force Is Strong With This One

  From Redditor u/Smallchildrenirkme:

  I told him I didn’t like Star Wars.

  He was really into it. And by that, I mean he watches the movies very often and has every single one of the pop figure things related to Star Wars.

  Around the fifth time of watching a movie with him, I couldn’t lie anymore and told him that Star Wars wasn’t my thing and asked if we could watch something else.

  He freaked out and I ended up walking home because he was starting to throw things. In hindsight, him throwing things over me not liking something he did was probably a hint that he wasn’t a great guy.

  He’s now in the army and dating someone who's underage.

  Oh how the turn tables.
• (#22) Too Good To Pass Up

  From Redditor u/gerry1doherty2:

  The girl told me she thought this boy who she had a crush on for a long time was gonna ask her out. She said this to me. Her then bf
• (#23) You Seem Distant

  From Redditor u/Thaall:

  Didn’t hold her hand in the car at night during a storm on the way to dinner. I had also never been to the area and was unfamiliar with it.

  On that night, she did me a favor by breaking it off. What a nut. I was going to end it the next day because of that being an issue, but she beat me to it. lol. Obviously we had some other issues, but that ultimately was the argument that ended things.
• (#24) You Wanna Fight, Bro?

  From Redditor u/RufusTheDeer:

  My first girlfriend told me once that I loved my dog more than her. I said that I did and she didn't talk to me for a week, which at the time felt like an eternity. We ended up getting back together for another month. She broke up with me because she found these guys at the flee market who were hitting on her, gave them my number, and they called to "fight for her". I said no
• (#25) I Ain't Afraid Of No Ghost

  From Redditor u/thebunnyfluffer:

  He said he didn't want to see me anymore because he didn't like that I had played with a Ouija board when I was a kid.
• (#26) It's The Dinosaur Thing

  From Redditor u/aestusveritas:

  Can I do the most ridiculous reason I've had to dump someone?

  Starting dating this girl. She's like 29 with a Master's degree, really sweet and cute, so I'm excited about the potential. On our 3rd date we were driving to a late night event at a science museum and she asked what I was most excited about seeing and I said I've always enjoyed the dinosaur fossils and she said ".....oh." and got real quiet. After 5 seconds of silence I asked if she didn't like dinosaurs or something and she said "It's not that. It's more than....well.....I'm not sure how I feel about dinosaurs." Which led me to ask "Um...by feel....you mean, you...?" And she said "Well, I'm just not sure if they are real." (*Beat* I look over quizzically.) She continues "Like, they're not mentioned in the Bible, so I don't know if they existed." I tried to get through the night and to be fair there were some decent jokes. When we walked into the natural sciences wing there was a picture of Darwin on the wall and she said "Hey look, there's your best friend," and later we were standing in front of a a skeleton of a raccoon and I said "So just to be clear. Your position on raccoons is....yes....no.......maybe?"

  She was a pretty nice girl and we had fun on the first two dates, so I tried to tough it out, but the dinosaur thing just ate at me for days. Like a week later I called her from the office and this was our conversation:

  Me: "Look, we gotta talk. I don't think this is going to work for me."
  (10 seconds of silence)
  Her: "........it's the dinosaur thing, isn't it?"
  Me: "Yeah. Yeah......it's the dinosaur thing."
• (#27) He Had His Hands Full

  From Redditor u/gingerbakes:

  My boyfriend broke up with me because he was moving away to go to puppet school.
