So, I'm a little behind the times in terms of watching Sex and the City. I've been watching the reruns though, and last night was the last episode of the entire series. It was the one where Carrie dumps the Russian b/c he was too busy for her and b/c he bitchslapped her. So I got to thinking about relationship dealbreakers. Here's a list of some of the dealbreakers I've experienced.
1) He surfs the internet for gay porn (but he's not gay, he swears!)
2) He cheated on you with a guy (but, again, not gay! Swear!!)
3) He slapped you.
4) He's been secretly addicted to meth for the last 6 months.
5) He has crazy fits of rage, to the point of tearing off all of his clothes and jumping into a tree.
6) He's in love with your best friend.
7) He's homeless and, although he usually lives in a van down by the river, he wants to live in your dorm room now.
What other kinds of relationship dealbreakers are out there? What's been your experience?

1) He tells you about the prostitutes he visited.
2) He calls you and leaves angry messages on your answering machine because you haven't called him back in two days (since you were in San Francisco). The messages include the phrase "You know, I can take a hint."
Good question! You've got some BIG deal breakers there! Isn't it funny how women will still stick around though even after their man pulls a major deal breaker?
Of course relationships are a work in progress - here are a few of mine:
1. Addiction to drugs
2. Cheating
3. Forcing sex on you
4. Molestors
5. more then one wife who died of unknown causes!
6. Is in love with ANYBODY else (not just your best friend)
7. Thinks women should stay in the home where they belong
8. Lack of a sex drive (or no sex)
9. Used to be a woman
10. Has 6 children all over the globe from 6 different women and never sees any of them
11. Can't operate a computer and doesn't know how and doesn't want to learn
12. Is scared to fly and refuses to travel with you
13. Calls you by a different name in bed
14. Mysteriously disappears for 4 days at a time
Hmm...probably a lot of deal breakers....of course a few of my deal breakers I *might be willing to overlook if we were really in love and willing to work through a few things (like cheating or being scared to fly)
#5 is hilarious, claudia. how about:
1) he is momma-whipped...to a scary point where he smacks her on the ass. (wtf?!)
2) he forgets to tell you he has a kid until you've been dating for a month.
3) [every gay clue you can think of here]
Wait, Shawna - has all that stuff happened to you?? That's some crazy stuff!! I must admit, I actually did hang around after a couple on my list. (Dumbass!) Kat -that smack on the ass one is hilarious!! Craziness!! Yeah, I'll throw momma's boy in on my list. Also one more I just remembered: no job, no school, no money.
the smack on the ass wasn't so weird since he was also the GAY ex.
Ack NO! Have you dated a guy that was into gay porn?
The only ones that have happened are 2 & 3
But, the other ones, have happened to people I know - (except for #4,5 & 9)
Oh, I see. Mine did all happen. Numbers 1, 2 and 3 on my list were actually all the same guy!
Bonus points for anyone who can guess which guy goes to which dealbreaker. Hint: Brian is not on the list!! (He is perfect.)
No fucking Comment.
1. Gets mad because you didn't clean the house for a week while your gramma was on life support in the hospital
2. Walking in on him looking at straight porn, but completely naked sitting at the computer getting ready to *ahem* please himself, while the garage door is open in a very friendly neighborhood
3. Telling you that he sometimes gets a boner when pretty girls walk in front of his van while he is driving
4. Not showering for a couple days at a time, because he says his skin gets too dry, however hes a mechanic.
5. Telling you that he got divorced after he got out of prison because his wife cheated on him while he was in there for helping a friend steal an a/c unit from his job.
6. Telling you that he let one of his ex's use a dildo on him because the sense of control turned her on.
7. Having a felony for drugs
All but the last three were the same guy...the last three were totally different ones...
I think you only know one of them anyway. ;-)
Holy crap.. the dating world is a scary, scary place.
oh wait one other
8. He tells you that he doesnt like your long blonde hair and wants you to cut it off and dye it darker, and that your boobs are too big and if you can afford it, a breast reduction would be nice. translation: instead of a blonde girl he wanted a brunette boy....
Allison - you got 4 out of 7. I can't believe you missed number 6!!
::Sigh::
5) Child Molester
There you go Shannon - one point! You know what I'm talking about! Were you there that particular time? Can we say CRAZY?
I don't think so. The dealbreaker for child molestor was definitely #5. I didn't know anything about any #6 issues until after we'd broken up. Good try, but you still just got 4 out of 7. I'm surprised Leslie with her crazy photographic memory of my life hasn't chimed in.
whats the story with #5?
#5 pretty much sums it up. Dude was crazy and liked to throw tantrums. Sometimes he'd drive 100mph around Lake Mead and threaten to kill us, sometimes he'd jump into swimming pools with all of his clothes on and then take off running.. sometimes he'd tear off his clothes and jump into a tree. (And you guys thin I'M dramatic!)
I just got back into town, otherwise I would have commented ealier. I had to close my office door when I got to the wally one since I laughted so hard I shot soda out my nose...
