Once again, a heated office discussion turns into a blog… This time, the question is, is there ever any reason too stupid to dump somebody?
Here are some real examples I’ve heard in the past two days:
He says chickmunk instead of chipmunk (mine)
He’s studying business administration (mine)
He wears his shirts tucked in, without a belt
He walks around naked in front of his mom
He’s a turbo-hottie, but his feet are gnarly
She says “Mecredi” instead of “Mercredi”
He’s not geeky enough (mine)
I’m starting university (mine)
She said something vulgar
She loves me too much
She smiles like Kermit
This other guy’s cuter
I love her too much
Her name is Suzie
Personally, I think that at the beginning of an attraction, you’re determining whether the chemistry is right, and chemistry is entirely whimsical and arbitrary. Nobody has to justify it. Thus, at that point it’s understandable if a stupid thing becomes a dealbreaker. Later on in a relationship, stupid things are still important, as they become indicators. I mean, if someone told me they’ve started hating the way their S.O. of five years licks stamps, I’d still take that seriously.
What’s the stupidest reason you’ve ever given/gotten?
