Okay.
A girl once broke up with me because I had bought her a bird cage with a wonderful cockatiel instead of a bird bath, which is what she apparently wanted but w/e. She had proceeded to complain about how she would never have the bird out of the cage and keep it in there because she didn't like it one bit.
After we broke up, I took the cockatiel. Little buddy was amazing.
tl;dr - animals > girlfriends - they're loyal and will love you always

what variant of the dogpill is this
Early in my college life, I had a girlfriend that had trust issues. It wasn't soooo bad for the first few months but as the relationship went on, it got worse. I wasn't allowed to go out with my friends, not even allowed to have friends who were girls, the whole nine yards. Eventually, one time I was sleeping over at her place. I woke up and found her going through my phone, looking for "evidence" that I was cheating. I thought that was a big invasion of privacy so I was like "Hey, never do that again. You didn't find anything right? So just respect my privacy and don't go through my phone." We had a whole long conversation about it, which included her asking me, "Are you breaking up with me?" To which I said no, and decided that it was fine, just so long as she didn't do it again.
Fast forward about a month. It's two or three days before Valentine's Day. She's sleeping over at my place and the same thing happens again. This time I'm reeeallly upset about it because we had had that conversation about respecting privacy/boundaries/etc. I was kind of ready to end the relationship, and she even asked me again, "Are you breaking up with me?" But again, I said no. This time it was more because I didn't want to be the asshole that broke up with his girlfriend a few days before Valentine's Day. Plus, we had already had a trip booked for spring break in about a month and I didn't want that to get messy if we broke up. In hindsight, shitty reasons to stay with someone I probably should've broken up with. But I stuck it out... for a bit.
Valentine's Day comes around. We had a whole day planned and everything. At this point in my life (I was 20 years old) I NEVER cooked, but she was coming over and I was cooking a nice meatloaf, we were going to exchange gifts, all good stuff. So we exchange gifts and everything is great. I felt really good about the day so far. But then we sit down and were doing our "thing" as a couple, which was to watch The Office. I had never seen it before, so we were watching the whole show together. So we're watching an episode, and which one is it? Casino Night. The episode where Jim kisses Pam despite her still being engaged to Roy. And that scene comes on and I think nothing of it, but then she says something along the lines of, "I just hope that you're not doing that to other girls." Which started a whole argument about the whole going through my phone thing again.
This time in the argument, she pulled the usual, "Are you breaking up with me?" card. And this time I just kind of froze. I didn't say yes, but I didn't say no either. We just kind of looked at each other for awhile, and then she said, "I'm going to take that as a yes" and left. So I never technically broke up with her, but yeah the relationship ended. My roommate ended up coming home later and was like, "Hey, where's (insert name of girlfriend)?" And I was like, "We broke up... want to share a meatloaf?" So we did! It ended up being a nice dinner anyway, just me, my roommate, and that meatloaf. Made me feel a lot less upset immediately.
Funnier part was a few days later, I ran into one of her BFFs in an elevator, and I thought it was going to be super awkward. But her friend said to me, "You know about the whole breakup situation... I get it." Which made me feel a lot better too lol

Dated someone from the online Pokemon community about 18 years ago. I met up with her, then she ran away from home with me to my university halls; I don't know what our longer term plan was. Anyway, a week later I paid her coach fare to meet with a friend in a different city, then she got together with that dude lol. I'm glad that social media wasn't really a thing in those days. She messaged me on Facebook a few years after I graduated asking for tax advice.

My first relationship (where I wasn't a teen lol) ended because the moment we went long distance she got sad, high and had sex with some guy she met at an anime Facebook group. I found out because his best friend was a mutual friend and he roasted the fuck out of me, lol.
one time i was messing around with this girl at work (please don't ever shit where you eat, easiest advice i can give out). i really liked her (found out she liked me one day she got drunk, and said the next day she didn't remember that she said that, then finally she told the truth a week after), but she never wanted to go public because its taboo to be dating someone at your job (lol). started i guess dating / being friends with benefits for about a month. i didn't really care but always found it interesting how she wanted to be lowkey about everything. long story short, she wasn't over her ex and one day while we were having sex i could just tell something was off. so i asked her what's up? and she pretty much went off on me saying im not the person she thought i was yada yada yada (we broke up and i left her crib) but based on our prior conversations i know the real reason was that she didn't want the office finding out (cus people were starting to hint at it) that were something going behind closed doors and i know she wasn't over her ex (broke up with him like 2 months prior to us talking).
anyway it can get really awkward trying to be friends with someone you had a relationship with, we'd eat lunch together and stuff and it always be awkward, i said a couple of offensive things to her that night (nothing crazy i just wanted to preface that, just said like dont talk to me again / you were never serious about dating you just wanted to fuck etc). she took it to heart and it was just awkward at work / ignoring me / slight stuff etc. i won't get into the specifics but she had problems and id always try to help, one day i wanted to apologize for my comments and we ended up having sex again (very toxic please don't ever do it after you end a relationship). after that it snowballed out of control, we agreed to be friends with no benefits. i was cool with but at work she continued to make slights, treating me weird in front of my coworkers, and i told her to stop and she said i was making something out of nothing. anyway we had an argument and i remember she was extremely emotionally manipulative and would always make me feel bad for anything i'd do and one thing that just stuck in my head was she said "you know me so well, that you know how to say something to hurt me". after that we agreed to not be friends lets just stay cordial at work (we pretty much ignored each other for a year until i left (unless there was something work specific where we'd have to deal with each other)). she would always bring up me up to my coworkers (usually not in a positive light, it would always make me feel bad even though i tried being nice to her as much as i can after our argument). yeah so please dont shit where you eat, i loved that job and based off that it kinda made me hate it and eventually left).
its pretty miserable so i thought id share lol
