This is a site for people to share with the world that magic moment when they knew their relationship was doomed to failure. Some funny, some sad, and some that leave you bewildered. I found this fascinating and read the whole site in the course of a few days.

"I was starting to wonder whether his stoicism and silence were a little more than just bashfulness. We went to the park to hang out for a little while, and I began attempting to provoke some sort of conversation or response from him. After some uneventful walking and non-reciprocated communication, I started stuffing sticks and grass into his pockets. I even tried throwing dirt on his head. Nothing. Not even removal of the pervading organic materials. That’s when I knew."

"I figured out he was just agreeing with everything I said and did. It was creepy, really. Like he had no personality of his own."

"Using his fingers, he combed boogers out of his protruding nose hair and ate them. It was over the second his fingers hit his lips."

"I knew it was a bad sign when we were on the phone and I’d wish one of my friends would call me to rescue me from our lame conversations"

"My arm fell asleep underneath her. As I went to slide my arm out, she turned around and said, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t you love me?” She rolled over and bawled for the next hour, inconsolable.

"He cried during the last “Lord of the Rings” movie."

"Less than year into our relationship I asked her why she didn’t seem to want to be around me in any way. No sex, no contact of any kind. She told me, 'That’s what couples do: They stop having sex.'"

"We were wrapped up in her comforter on the couch, watching TV and eating one of those giant chocolate bars. As her hands got smeared with melting chocolate, I watched in horror as she wiped her fingers on the edge of the blanket, then calmly folded over the chocolate-covered corner."
