Over 5,000 responses have piled up, so we've collected the best examples of they kind of nonsense that'll end a relationship in an instant.

Replacement threats are needlessly cruel

Telling someone you're not attracted to them is a great way to kill a relationship

Ultimatums are a huge manipulation tactic

People don't appreciate not being appreciated

Assigning blame for your bad behavior sucks

Don't get the kids involved, please

Preemptively absolving yourself isn't a great look

Unilateral decision making isn't going to work out

It doesn't matter what they do, they're wrong either way

As I say about my ex-wife, She’s not happy until I’m not happy. Some people can only function if they have someone to blame for their own shortcomings, narcissistic personality, borderline alcoholic with sociopathic tendencies. A potent mix. The central pillar of her existence was her hatred of her father who cheated on her mom, when she was quite young. It defined her life and drove how she related to all others. She had a keen eye for sizing up people’s habits and behaviour and had a real knack for pigeonholing them into manipulable slots. She knew which buttons to push and how hard she could press to get her way. After too many years gaslighting me she pulled the “divorce” ultimatum gambit and I called her bluff. After 6 years I’m finally recovered enough that I feel normal again.

Her: I found you physically repulsive.

Me: I know. That was what made the sex so hot for me.
