Dating Nightmares: 8 People Reveal Reasons They Dumped Their Partner During Quarantine

• When your boyfriend is insecure because you're in better shape than him

  

  My boyfriend and I wanted to start hiking this hill near our place when the gyms closed. I was in better shape than he was having done it many times before. He got super insecure about the fact that I was able to do it faster than him. I gave him some words of encouragement and told him the only reason I didn't have as much trouble was that I had done it several times in the weeks prior. He was SO insecure that he blew UP on me saying that though I may have made it up the hill faster I don't LOOK like I am in that great of shape when he sees me naked. BYE.

• When your girlfriend throws the remote at your head, but it misses and cracks the TV.

  

  My girlfriend and I moved in together when her lease ended at the beginning of quarantine. We got in an argument about something so stupid I don't even remember what it was. The next thing I know she had thrown the remote so hard it cracked the TV. It was meant for my head. I moved out and am still paying half the rent. Pandemic breakups can be a beautiful thing. Worth it.

• When your fiancé shits on your singing dreams.

  

  I am a good singer. I'm not Adele, but I have always done musicals, sang at weddings, things like that. I told my fiancé that I registered to do a virtual audition for The Voice because, why not? He told me it was stupid and a waste of time (it would take 15 minutes, and I have jack shit else to to) and I am just simply not good enough to make it. It just kind of clicked that I can't spend the rest of my life with someone who would be so negative about something I wanted to do. I gave the ring back and moved in with my parents.

• When your boyfriend expects you to be the maid.

  

  My boyfriend and I started working from home after the pandemic hit. We used to have a cleaning service that came to the house once/week, but since I am high risk I didn't want anyone in the house. I found myself constantly cleaning up after him. When I told him I would appreciate it if he could put his dishes in the dishwasher and do other things to pull his weight he told me that since he 'lets me live in his house' and makes more money than me, I should be the one taking care of the cleaning. We split his mortgage and all the bills evenly. I moved in with my best friend that weekend.

• When your boyfriend quits his job and uses you as his sugar momma

  

  I am a nurse so I am working crazy hours. My boyfriend quit his job before the pandemic started but was still able to collect unemployment checks. He moved in with me to save money and didn't really offer me any rent, but to be fair, I didn't ask. I was working nonstop for a week in the COVID unit and asked him if he could go to the store for me and pick up some other things because he had eaten pretty much all my food. I came home exhausted after a 14-hour shift to him playing video games and eating take out which he ordered ONLY for himself. I went to make myself something to eat and saw the fridge was still empty. When I asked him why he didn't go to the store he said "You forgot to leave me money. Don't you pass it on your way home anyway?" I LOST. MY. SHIT.

• When your girlfriend snoops through your stuff.

  

  My girlfriend moved into my apartment after quarantine. Whether she was snooping around or 'organizing,' I do not know, but I came home and she had three photos of me and an ex-girlfriend on the counter and a random curling iron. She went nuts, claiming I still had feelings for this girl and accused me of having other women over because why else would there be a curling iron in the back of a bathroom cabinet? These photos were at the bottom of a junk drawer in my den. The last time I opened this drawer was circa 2013. I don't even know where the curling iron came from. It could have been my sister's. Pandemic breakups can be for the best. She was a raging mess and I realized she needed to go.

• When you discover your girlfriend is a secret cam girl.

  

  My girlfriend worked as a bartender and was obviously out of a job so she moved in with me. I work in healthcare so I was gone a lot. She always had a nice apartment, went on nice vacations, and had other various luxuries so I just thought she must do pretty well at her job, but her lifestyle didn't seem to change judging by the number of packages that were being delivered all the time and by how much she ordered take out. I came home early one day and she was filming herself masturbating. It turns out she was actually a cam girl this whole time and only worked at this bar 1-2 times/week and was such a good (or bad?) liar that she completely had me fooled.

• When your boyfriend tries controlling what kind of TV you watch.

  

  My boyfriend and I were living together for a few months but we both work so much we didn't spend much time together. When we were in quarantine that obviously changed. After I am done crunching algorithms all day at my tech job I like to watch some shows on Bravo as a mind-numbing guilty pleasure. He BERATED me for this, saying it is garbage television (not wrong) and that I am contributing to the 'devolution of the human race.' I argued that he played Call of Duty and other video games that are just as stupid as reality TV (in my opinion). We got in a big fight and went to bed in separate rooms. The next day I went to turn on the TV after work and when I switched it to Bravo it asked for a passcode. That little fucker put a password on the channels he deemed unintelligent to restrict me from watching them. I filled my car up with all my shit and I was fucking out.
