what's the pettiest reason you broke things off with someone

This topic was created in the Virgo forum by Gem03 on Wednesday, November 17, 2021 and has 41 replies.

Why People End Relationships Over Small Reasons

People sometimes break up over minor issues like boredom or petty disagreements. These reasons may seem trivial but often reflect deeper feelings or dissatisfaction in the relationship. Recognizing these signs can help you understand relationship dynamics better and address underlying issues before ending things.

They didn't get a to go box when their meal was $ 40 and she had a lot left over.

She grew up super poor too, but was a very picky eater. She only wanted chicken tenders, burgers, pasta, etc.

It was our second or third date.

Over a shit test. She had asked me to go way out of my way for something silly and she knew that. It seemed like a shit test and it just struck me the wrong way.

I agree w/ @MyStarsShine; oftentimes, I've been labeled, "fussy" about "minor things," but if a relationship starts out on bad footing, there's no*where*else*to*go. I look (and also happen to be) very kind; and some people that first meet me try and take advantage; once they realize(as times drags out) my mind's sharp, they do themselves in..and then wonder why we can't start over.

Sorry if this sounds like I'm preaching, but live with integrity, you never know who turns out to be someone you want to bring closer--

I was dressing up and he fell asleep waiting for me and his leg was twisted in a strange manner that made him look...crippled...

That was IT. He never knew...never found out...probably still wondering. We were 14 and 18. I was already strange then...😉

Just felt it's important to mention that minor misunderstandings are just that--minor. Small things are small; what I meant in my last comment re: initial "bad footing", is propping someone up to be a fall guy for a situation, intending to groom someone to take advantage of them, posing a faux relationship with hidden intentions. Those kind of things.

But forgetting a name, an initial heated discussion, small misunderstandings, different perspectives--those things are absolutely fine. We're all human. I don't want to mislead and make the room paranoid about cancer/leos or capricorn moons taking everything wrong.

Also, there's people that I've had blow outs with, it's not a big deal, we can still be amicable acquaintances, again, we're all human and have to make the most to co-exist.

Directly, my cancer sun (motherhood & sensitivity) and my virgo mars and venus (servitude and hospitality, staying calm), and indirectly, my capricorn moon (fatherhood, teaching, firm, consistent standards) as well as all my personal planets being sextile for smoothness and harmony. Also, very important is a lot of seventh houses in my personal planets.

Virgo’s during this thread: 😶🤫

But honestly a lot of things can give me the “ick” or turn me off from liking someone but that’s when it’s just on the “crush” level. Once I’m in love I can endure tons of things.

I've never broken up with anyone for petty things but I've probably ghosted guys in the initial dating phases for petty things like bad kissing or micro dicks. Maybe being cheap. Or bad breath. Calling me to much. Who knows I can't even remember most of their names let alone why I left.

During my days of partying singledom, I stopped seeing someone after our first night together. We'd only known each other a few hours but she did a couple of things that I couldn't get past.

The final nail in the coffin was when, over breakfast, she asked me if I had a girlfriend.

What? It's only NOW you're asking me?!

Shouldn't have to pick up people at the train station...

Did she stick her finger up your butt? LMAO

And apparently, you hadn't asked her about her status, had you?

You are being so hypocritical here. You were even worse than she is!

Maybe it was her who dumped YOU?

I've had way more just real crappy situationships thus far. But I very obviously distanced myself from a dude I go the same uni as when in the first year, he said "I can't wait to rely on you".

Ew nooo I don't like dependent people. Maybe it wasn't his intention, but his wording definitely came across that way 😅 he's a sweet, charming and funny guy, but when I see that dependency and clinginess, I'm heading for the hilltops, bye 😆 I'd be lying if I said I didn't still fall for his eyes and voice every time we do talk every once in a while still lol very naturally charming without trying to be. Those damn dreamy Piscean eyes.

Lazy and didnt take out the trash. I wasn't going to be there to change this person. Besides, he used the bitch card against me too many times for that occasion and I dunno. Taking out the trash isnt that hard yet when you refuse to do it like a fussy teenager, it turns into a mountain of trash. That's my petty moment. Oh. And didnt pay for meals. Would always let me get it. I should've asked but I was like, ok I'm done.

Never did .... it was always for something other than petty

Exactly the same. I reject people for petty reasons on dating apps. Minor things have made me not want to keep talking.

I'm so fussy and serious about being with someone that once I'm in an actual relationship I don't break off for petty reasons

2 exes suddenly trying to reach out.

their messages only 30 mins away from each other too 🤔😕

somehow it being the same day turns me off more than anything else. even if you wanted an affair, people should try a little harder. nobody tries anymore. this the kind of thing that'd just drive you deeper into your boyfriend's arms.

i'd break up on what's seemingly a whim. but disgust is prob #1 reason. and it's not difficult to get me there.

My first boyfriend grossed me out because he was a smoker, his nails were always dirty, his teeth were yellowing, I witness him sliding a deodorant stick against his abdomen, and he was just so into me. I skateboarded to his house and I just said "I feel like we're better off as friends" because at 16 I didn't know what the right thing to say was and I skated back home. My second boyfriend I just felt like... he was too muscular like he had these biceps that turned me off. I also felt like he was too into me. I was 17 and I just texted him "I don't think I want to be bf/gf anymore". To be fair a few days before when I saw him I had said "can we go back to just talking?" like I thought it was a stage in dating. Honestly I was just such a petty teen and shallow as hell plus I was scared to have sex.

also, why slide deodorant on the abdomen? what does that mean? why is that done? 🤔 😕

He said it made him sweat less and older me gets it now but witnessing that at 16 you automatically think "disgusting". It is super scary when someone stares at you with those LOVING eyes especially when you're young... you don't know what to do with those emotions/feelings.

Probably because its anti-perspirant meaning it can plug up any other pores to limit the amount of sweat? I feel like women are more quick with the powder but I agree arrowroot powder all the way. This is also when axe body spray was thriving so....
