When he finds out he's been smelling his girlfriend's shower gel, he immediately dumps her. This guy throws a tantrum when nobody agrees with him that marrying somebody with children will automatically change their DNA to make him their biological father. Not even his own parents could get through to him that that's not how it works.

Not Always Romantic (Website) / int_3d2c6d30	comment	Skewed Priorities: A woman is involved in a car accident, requiring nearly 12 hours in the hospital for observation and stitches. Her husband fails to show up, citing an emergency with his mother, and even when she gets out it's inconvenient for him to even give her a lift. The emergency in question that lasted so long? His mother couldn't find the television remote, which was right where she always put it, and he clearly needed to spend all night consoling her for the scare. Unsurprisingly, when he does return home, he returns to find divorce papers waiting for him.

Not Always Romantic (Website) / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Not Always Romantic (Website) / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Discussed here. A couple gets into the topic of what they would do in a zombie apocalypse. The boyfriend's response is the typical protect-his-loved-ones kind of deal. His partner, though, decides that they'd be too horrified by the situation to do anything. Also here - a wife, having been reading earlier stories with the name, asks her husband what he would do if she became a zombie. He responds that, since she stays at home and thus close to the arsenal, is a better shot than he is, and is a black-belt, while he works at a hospital, is chubby, and has a bad back, he cannot think of any realistic zombie scenario in which she turns before he does. Similarly done here, where a boyfriend asks his girlfriend the same question, and she tells him she would likely turn first, what with her working in a hospital while he lives in Texas, "where everyone already is in family clans, lives on farms, and is heavily armed". He tries to argue that this also means, if they were overrun, there would be nowhere for them to escape to - she counters, and wins the argument, by reminding him she works on the same floor as her hospital's morgue. And here — the response is a straight "Zombies don't exist." In this one, the concept of Murder the Hypotenuse gets a reality check. A girl who doesn't want to kiss yet is dating a guy who is aggressively trying to push her to give him her first kiss. Finally, he drops the ultimatum - kiss him, or he's leaving her. Much to his shock, she shows him the door. A girl beats the shit out of a boy who is touching the legs of girls on the bus, including a first grader. When his parents are threatening to press charges, all the girls he touched burst in and start threatening sexual assault charges. The parents immediately have to go on the defensive. If it goes to court, even if the submitter gets in trouble the boy is going down much harder.

First, he deliberately squeezes their injured toe, just to elicit sympathy from them over how baaaad he feels at having hurt them. It works at first, but when the poster points out that they're the one in pain, the boyfriend gets mad at them for "making this about you" and storms off for a drive, sending repeated texts about "dark thoughts" he is having, which causes them to apologize and back down. This pattern continued for several months, although fortunately the poster did eventually realize what was happening and break up with him.

What she doesn't count on is the submitter having come home early without telling anyone and catching her in the act of letting herself in. It's clear that the mother-in-law sees the submitter as this trope because she blames the subsequent divorce on them.

Not Always Romantic (Website) / int_6ca72c26	comment	All Take and No Give: The girlfriend in this story has this attitude, giving the submitter 'advice' which is just 'telling him and not letting him say no'. This fails to raise a red flag for the submitter, since they aren't particularly minded towards the areas she's ordering them about in, and they actually get compliments from work over the improvement of their wardrobe. But then, the Berserk Button is pushed - the girlfriend gets rid of the submitter's sizable gaming collection, because time spent playing games is time that could be spent being with her instead. This directly leads to their breakup. (Fortunately, she attempted to sell them to a secondhand games store whose clerk knows the submitter well, and was able to save everything.)

Not Always Romantic (Website) / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: This girl, who injures a guy who wouldn't leave her alone. What makes it more awesome is that she did it by accident! A stereotypical thug thinks beating up a girl's geeky boyfriend will make her fall in love with him, but when the guy proceeds to injure her by pushing her into a bookshelf, the geeky boyfriend flattens the guy.

Not Always Romantic (Website) / int_fea27091	comment	Buffy Speak: Justified here, where the wife has a psychiatric condition that causes her to forget words and names. She asks for "the sweet thing? With â€˜fss-fssâ€™, and myâ€¦ myâ€¦â€� makes drinking gesture â€œâ€¦with the tail on it" (hot cocoa, with whipped cream, in a mermaid mug) and her husband understands. One woman's husband refers to pregnancy tests as "birth sticks". "The thing... with the stick when you might be having a baby... You pee on it?" One woman's scientist boyfriend describing endorphins: "You know, exercising is proven to release feel good thingies in your head."
