Crazy ex-girlfriend

[ThudThudThud]

I guess I've always liked the 'independent' vibe in women.
The issue I found is that there was often a reason for them being 'independent' (pronounced, "ALONE"). There were some utter psychos.

The stories above all fill me with a sense of dread.

Any of you tried match.com? Endless supply of crazy ex-girlfriends!

This is asinine...get away from this nut. She wants to base your relationship off of bribery? I'll buy you this and that and you can bang me anytime if you be my boyfriend? How old is this chick?...come on man...

Nope. But it looks like you have some story telling to do

Actually was dumb enough to have two crazy gf's consecutively, both with serious alcoholism. First one would get verbally abusive, especially when drunk, but damn the sex was off the hook. Finally dumped her when I let her stay in my apartment alone one day and came home to find some of my personal belongings destroyed because she found porn on my computer.

Second one, really sweet girl, really beautiful, good heart, but her brain was on some other planet and not in a good way. Our relationship eventually devolved into her trying to drink herself to death. Ever see that movie Leaving Las Vegas? Like that, but she was Nick Cage and I was Elizabeth Shue. When I finally broke up with her, she drank herself almost out on to the street when a friend intervened and got her on a plane back to the Czech Republic to go back to her family. She's still there to this day. Just heard from her for the first time in a few years recently and she said she misses California so bad. Poor girl. Oh well. *shrug*

So yeah, that's the extent of my crazy girl stories. The lesson; don't date crazy girls. When you see a red flag, bail.

no pics no crazy ex-girlfriend...

LOL And probably electrocute you when you stomped on it.

And also steal the money out of your wallet.

If she's not likely to kill you, it might be worth sticking around for a few weeks. I could use some new PA speakers.

Yeah, I had myself a crazy once. Not as bad as some of the stories here, though, and Ive spoken of her before so I wont go into the details.
I got a call from her after I started dating someone else telling me that her mom passed away. She was a wretched woman, absolutely cruel and manipulative. No wonder her daughter turned out a nut.
A few months later she calls me again. Her sister passed. Well, she was a pill popping alcoholic who likely OD'd while trying to cope with her mom's death. She wasnt a nice person either.
I didnt hear from her for a long while, until I was single last summer. Her dad had died. He was a good man who overworked himself to take care of these three women who could do nothing for themselves. He also happened to be the father of Mark Kendall from the band Great White.
She tried calling again after I started dating my girlfriend. Something tells me I might not hear from her again.

Following that pattern she'll find a way to call you when she passes. Oh wait...

That's sad. Her family sounds like what mine is turning into

If I knew then what I know now, even a little sign would have made me run. Pay attention.

Quoted for truth. Pay attention to red flags folks. Love doesn't conquer all. "Crazy" sounds fun until you experience what it really means. Don't let someone repeatedly roll over your personal boundaries while you think you are being the 'nice guy'. Strong boundaries are healthy, and doubly important if you have kids that are looking at you to model their future relationships.

It's threads like this that make me love TB even more. Sharing the misery....

We've all 'pushed the crazy button' (AKA had sex) with a crazy woman. With mine (and thankfully only one, and she wasn't as bad as the others in this thread), she had such low self-esteem that she latched onto me like a starved leech simply because I was nice to her (and had sex with her, of course). My nutso-sense went off pretty quickly, but it took me months to get rid of her. I finally had to resort to being a complete a**hole, which is against my nature. After some screaming and crying on her part, she finally moved on (and thankfully moved out of state).

Yup, no on left to make that phone call.

It was all a bit sad. It was really hard to associate myself with her family. Dysfunction at its very finest. Im sorry to hear you have to deal with something similar.

Uhh, you need to cut that tie now.

The crazy ones can be like an addiction. Many a moon ago when I was [DEL]trolling[/DEL] respectfully dating a few women on match.com, I always made sure to keep the balance between marriage material and bi-polar red headed nympho (usually nurses, go figure). I was an idiot. Something about the ones that were nuts just kept them in the loop. While I can't compare to an ex with 10 husbands cutting female pictures and slashing tires, I can at least toss a chip in the game with a hidden picture frame under a comforter smashed with a golf club. A bloody knee ruining a nice comforter and sheet set is what I remember. Oddly enough for 2 years this one was in the marriage material column and I had dumped all crazies for her. Mistaken categorization.

It's nuts man. I mean it's not the same person-by-person, but they seem to have been bitten by the ridiculously self-destructive bug
