I have now learned that if I meet a guy and he says the last girl he dated was crazy...chances are he's an assbag and I'll just ask "Hmm, well what did you do to her to make her that way?" followed by "CHECK PLEASE!"

10 TO ONE the guy was a dick to her and DROVE her to act in ways she wouldn't normally, except when extremely hurt (after giving her heart) and not getting any compassion in return.

This WILL be a new red flag for me. Now of course, there ARE real crazy women out there....especially if the last girl was quite young (20s), but its not worth it for me to flesh it out. Besides, a nice guy would either not bring it up or say they just didn't see eye to eye.

In my experience, it does seem like people are quick to put the 'crazy' label, etc, on exes after the break up. I can definitely see that if both ended on bad terms, such as intense arguing, etc, and then, because one of them is angry and a bit emotionally unstable at that point, they put the 'crazy' label on the other. Of course, I'm I believe it's not always arguing that would lead to that. I've had an ex tell me his previous ex was crazy, and told me all these stories (that I didn't believe first off.) And then, I met her...and sure, she said some pretty rude things to me...but she was upset. She'd been with this guy a long time and still had feelings for him. Of course she wouldn't like me. She came up to me later and apologized with a hug. Whether that was sincere or not, it showed she knew she was wrong and he was no longer hers. I know she tried texting him a few times...but, even in his own words, she just said casual things and gave up for a few months. Then, I became the ex, and realized exactly how she must have felt...and then, through context clues, it appears my ex is making up bad stories about me, too...well, I definitely got it. It wasn't her. She didn't do anything but what may be normal for a human to do when upset. That's just one personal example. I've heard of other cases, too. In the end, I don't think, in my opinion, that it necessarily makes the person bad or that it should be something that makes you take a pass on the guy or girl, but I do think that there's two sides to every story.
Of course, some people are actually crazy, and some people are assholes, too.

Ignore her perhaps?

Unless she pushed you down the stairs and broke your leg..you were probably an assbag to her.

(I actually have a guy friend who dated a girl who did that to him AND threw herself on the hood of his car. THAT is crazy.)



I don't talk to her anymore (It's been almost two years).

And no... I wasn't an ass to her. Those who know the story, know I was done dirty.

And when I say crazy, I'm talking believing you were abducted by aliens, and you freak the fuck out one night because you see them climbing through the wall. That kind of crazy.

Yep, that is legit crazy...my sincere apologies sweetie.

My ex actually did do some crazy stuff, but he tells people I'M the crazy one! lol!

It's all in perception, so I would just get more information before I wrote the guy off or believed the girl really was crazy. I don't think it's a redflag that means he is an ass, though. And I wouldn't automatically assume she was crazy. Although, usually women don't act crazy unless they have a reason to, but like someone else mentioned, it might just be normal human behavior after a break up. And what's his definition of crazy? That makes a difference.

HERE's the redflag - why would he tell all this stuff? He is just literally telling you that when/if yall break up he's going to be telling the next girl stories about how crazy you were.

If I was in a relationship with a "crazy person" I would be so embarrassed to even mention this to my future partner. Your future partner may think:

1. This bitch must be crazy too or she is def off in some way if she was with a crazy person for so long

2. This bitch may also talk shit about me being crazy in the future

Never trash your ex... by trashing your ex you reveal more of yourself



In a way, this is the first comment by you that hasn't annoyed me.... Although, to say your embbarrassed to admit aspects about people who you have dated says a lot about you as well....

This is why I think you should not comment on your exes when you meet your future one. It raises to many questions you may not be able to explain..



I was so expecting you to make a snide comment but to my surprise...
Yeah I think you make a good point... In general, bringing them up whether to say good OR bad things about them could end up raising questions that will be difficult to explain. Thanks for that little tidbit 🙂
