What was the moment that you knew you were in a duff relationship...?

[lady_rider]

Mine was when after a week of 'im coming round to mine and me cooking for 'im every night, he finally brought round some ingredients for something we decided to make together. This consisted of broccoli, cheese, cherry tomatoes and cashew nuts. While making the dinner, I went to put the unused cheese in the fridge, and he went 'oh, what are you doing with that?'. I said 'putting it in the fridge', to which he replied 'oh yeah, nicking the stuff I bring for dinner!' I put it down to him joking. Having made the dinner, with me providing everything else, the evening was over and he was ready to go. On his way out, I said 'have you got your left-over cashew nuts'.. and he quickly went into the kitchen, took them back, and said 'did you start feeling guilty for stealing them'... Flippin' heck!!!!!

It's not that I wanted the friggin' cashew nuts... but it's the disregard that I'd provided his dinner for a WEEK! The relationship ended pretty soon after that.

To be fair, cashews aren't the cheapest nuts in the world.

..........is the wrong answer.

For me, it was when I realised that my (converted) Catholic girlfriend was confessing the relationship to her Opus Dei supervisor.

I could put up with the disconnect between her rants for equality between the sexes and her love of the Catholic church, I could put up with her belief that bread and wine are the actual flesh and blood of Christ, but I couldn't put up with that.

It's just occurred to me that the duffest relationship I've had was probably the one that lasted longest, unless you count many on-offs in one lump - but that was the relationship I miss the most.... God knows what that says about me....

On another occasion, and another duff relationship, I think the 'romantic weekend' in Wakefield was probably a big hint.

You're killing me today!

What was he thinking? I totally understand the feelings disregard for what you'd done for him all week, and also (in my personal opinion) the small mindedness of him feeling the few cashew nuts were that important!

I was out with a guy once who would often tell me that he had strong feelings for me etc and we went shopping together to get some snacks in for the evening. He also got his weekly shopping in the same transaction and so put it all on his debit card. At the end of the night, as I was leaving I asked him how much I owed him. He said "the bill came to £48.52 so you owe me .... (pauses to think) .... £24.26" !!! To be fair, I was more annoyed at the exact pricing to the penny than I was about him expecting me to pay half his weekly shopping!

Haven't had one yet.

There was Jennifer Dinn when I was 14, but I preferred skateboarding to her I'll freely admit. Then a girl who shall remain unnamed when I was 15 and I preferred her mother.......

You're killing me today!

In money terms, I'd like to think I believe in give and take, and it all evens out eventually - although if I was earning more than a guy, I'd be happy to provide more and I'd expect vice versa (and I've always been lucky enough that that's been the case when a chap has more money, I've never been out with anyone mean).

I realised things weren't right whilst in a compromising situation with my next door neighbour when my (now ex) GF came home from work.

Edit: This was 1988 BTW

I once took Mrs Donkey for a romantic evening in Halifax . It was the nearest town to my parent's house and they had actually agreed for the first time to baby sit our (then) only child for the weekend and we headed for the nearest place we could get drunk and have a night in a hotel

We still joke about the time we spent in Halifax.

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! (Mind you, it could have been worse. He could have insisted on pics).

I really don't have anything close to that. All I can offer is the moment when I decided to leave the employ of H***** Architects. The boss's girlfriend had poodles. One of them shat on the office carpet and she told the secretary to clean it up.
