Best/Worst Relationship Ever

Yeah yeah yeah. You don't need to tell me how many of these threads there have been already.
But frankly, the thread about how to tell your girlfriend she's fat inspired me to ask everyone about their best or worst relationship.
If I didn't have work early tomorrow, I'd share mine (the best one was also the worst one... I wonder how many of those responses I'm gonna get).
But that shouldn't stop you from sharing yours. :salute:

I don't really know if that smiley applies in this situation, I just saw a new one and wanted to use it...

I'm not going to go into blog-worthy details, but my best relationship was also my worst relationship.

The more you love 'em the harder they can hurt you (and you hurt them).

I had a woman try to kill me once with a kitchen knife. That was probably my worst.

My worse would have to be with my most recent ex, whom I've dated from October of '07 to the end of Dec. '07. Don't get me wrong, she was a nice and sweet gal, but she was also clingy as Hell, wouldn't stop calling me and IMing me, always wanting to know where I was, was very paranoid that when I went to Grad School I'll find someone else, etc. Plus she talked about marriage right after the first date.

Plus, her family hated me because I was Roman Catholic.

So far I haven't really had a "great" relationship. My lease worst one would have to be with my High School sweetheart. I mean it wasn't all rose and doves, but it wasn't a living Hell either.

The guy I thought I was going to marry, whom I now refer to as my Evil Ex, ended up abusing me, cheating on me, publicly insulting and humiliating me, and eventually sexually assaulting me. I sincerely hope I never have a worse relationship than that.

She's a dancer.




She has a no-contact order on me. Which she got a month after I stopped talking to her.

Heh, it's been almost four years since last I saw him, so I'm not in urgent need of hugging anymore. You're welcome to kick his ass, though you might have to wait in line behind quite a few other people.

The more you love 'em the harder they can hurt you (and you hurt them).

I was going to say similar but then I realised it wasn't my best relationship really, more a rollercoaster of emotions, possibly my most drama filled. It taught me a huge amount though and, in some ways, I can see that making it the best.

The funny thing is that I'd always said I wanted a relationship that truly screwed me over, a girl who could drive me to the edge, where friends just shake their heads, I felt I was lacking something where I hadn't gone through a tortuous relationship - I got it.

More than 6 years ago now.

Eh it probably has to do with my taste in women. Normal and sane women tend to bore me. The whole "Leave it to Beaver" family scene isn't really for me. I'd like things to be interesting and the whole "Leave it to Beaver" family just seems boring and dull to me.

I have two that tie for worst.

1. My first, and only, marriage. He was verbally abusive, neglectful, selfish, self-involved and spoiled (that last applied to both of us - I was an only child and he was the only son and a diabetic mama's boy to boot). It was six years of pure hell for me and for our children.

2. An ex-roommate of mine. He was the younger, gay son of an Italian father and an Irish mother. His parents were both very well educated (one professor and one high school principal) he was a spoiled, ne-er-do-well dilettante with rich kid syndrome who was the ultimate misogynist - he thought women were good for nothing, not even sex. He was borderline abusive. Our roommate relationship lasted six months and then I left. I'm not sure what I expected out of that relationship, though he was very charming when it suited him.

I've had some good relationships, though and I'll say, with some hope, that the best one is yet to come.

Only had two long term relationships. Was 17 when i started seeing one, and was 21 when it ended. He was going to propose to me, I saw the ring (because I am oh-so-sneaky) and he had booked tickets to thailand (always wanted to be proposed to overseas). So I'm thinking all is right with the world. Except then one of my friends tells me they've been chatting on msn, and showed me the history....it was filthy. I confronted him about it. He had been cheating on me with several women...and one man...and it was more than just chat. I'm lucky I didn't catch some disease from him. Needless to say, that relationship didn't last.
2nd lasted for 18 months. He abused me, stole my money (while I was in hospital with a brain tumour), cheated on me-again several times. Even got another girl pregnant. Meanwhile, I was doing both my uni load, and his because he was so 'stressed'. Was turning myself inside out trying to conform to this perfect image of what he wanted in a gf. And turns out he had a fiance about 6 months before he ended it.
Still recovering.

This is easily the worst sort of luck/series of choices/whatever that I've ever heard of. Wow. Good luck with the next one, in any case. :(

I've never been in a relationship, or even spoken to a woman I've been attracted to. It doesn't come naturally. Dunno why. You stop thinking about it almost completely after a while. Some of the betrayals you hear about (Piu's is a good example) make me feel pretty lucky to be that way, though. Plus, I can honestly say that I've never once been snubbed for a date or otherwise rejected. How many people can say that? :)

Wine. Lots and lots of red wine. It pairs so elegantly with self-loathing.

(Anyone else impressed with how well I type? Occasionally my grammar goes to hell, but I'm fastidious about my spelling. I may or may not have used that word entirely incorrectly.)

My best relationship lasted three years... officially, and a a good couple extra years of history for fun. I guess it also counts as my worst since it's my only relationship to date, but really, that's just a technicality. The more you love 'em the more it hurts, eh? Highest highs with the lowest lows and all that.

Okay, it is getting so much harder to type, and I am turning into a serial NSG blogger.

The Comcast has a wonderful policy...you can buy and have alcohol ($8 a beer, mind you) if you have a) a Mass drivers/Liquor license and are 21 b) a Rhode Island drivers license and are 21 or c) a passport.

I carry my passport usually because CT licenceses aren't always accepted, and I owed her a drink, so I got the first round, handed one to her, they took it, said they needed her ID, she presented it, they took the beer. I offered to chug, they said no. I asked why, they said because I provided a minor. I pointed out she was 22. They poured out my beer and said no money back. I called them cocks, pounded my beer, got two more, pounded those, and walked away.

Best/worst was with a girl I met in Colorado when I visited w/ some friends. I stayed for a few days and we did the whole hookup thing (which was nice) but we also had long, intelligent conversations (which was surprising). Not being used to girls being both gorgeous and smart, I was kind of blown away by some of the things she said, and as we talked I found out we had a lot in common- we had similar worldviews, similar ideas, shared similar experiences, blah blah all that shit.
I stayed in touch with her for awhile after I went back home, but I knew long-distance relationships wouldn't work. She got a boyfriend and things got bitter when I realized she said the exact same things about him she had said about me (that always gets you, doesn't it?) She also threw him in my face more than once to make me jealous. I said a lot of harsh things to her that I now regret... but I was convinced that I loved her, and I was pissed.
I quit talking to her for two months and started dating a new girl. Suddenly, one day I got the urge to apologize for the things I'd said earlier, and called up Colorado chick with an apology.
Colorado chick's bf had just dumped her a week before I called. Being all emotionally unstable, she got attached to me fast. Coincidentally, at the same exact time my girlfriend broke things off with me because she had to leave the city. I knew what was going to happen next.
Things were great between me and Colorado chick for about two months. I listened to all her problems, and the chemistry we had came out again. We're really almost exactly alike. That was the problem. Cuz she can be just as cold as I can, and when her bf wanted her back, she didn't give a damn about me.
I was a week away from seeing her again when she took off with him, without warning, to Hawaii. When she got back, she just said: "No sense beating around the bush. We're back together. Sorry."
It's weird, cuz we were hardly ever actually together- only a few days. I had dated other girls for longer, I had gotten closer to them physically, and I had devoted more time and energy to them. Other relationships had also ended worse, with more tears (and things thrown at me... and shit stolen from me... and one girl who somehow got into my house while I was gone... never mind...) and more drama.
But this one was better and worse than all of those because I cared about this girl more than I had ever cared about any other.

But I have to say, I feel pretty stupid even thinking this was painful, just reading some of the other bad relationships posted here.

Your use of the term "probably" makes me interested in hearing a little more about your sordid past. Indulge, per favore?

I think details of my sordid past may be worth something... a few beers, perhaps.

The worst technically wasn't a relationship. She dumped me before we were really going out. Fun times.

I suppose that makes the only other relationship both the best and worst. We were 14ish and she got her friend to tell me she was breaking up with me. She was about 2 feet away at the time. Still not sure why. I figure it was because she was getting teased for going out with me.

So far, she's not done anything wrong, nor displayed any sort of jealousy towards me or anyone I am friends with. Even when I hang out with my old girlfriends, she's completely fine with it. She told me-pleasantly-that if I were to ever cheat on her, she'd break up with me without a second thought. Which is good to know, from my point of view; she at least has a backbone, and isn't the clingy type at all.

My ex-fianceƩ cheated on me. Four times -- that I know of. Only three of them were guys. The one other girl I know of was the girl I dated before her. For awhile, they then dated each other.

My worst only lasted six weeks. By that time he was already accusing me of fucking around anytime he couldn't reach me or I didn't want to come over. His last phone call he threatened to burn my house down

I told my brother about it and my brother called him. My brother told him that a bunch of his skinhead friends and he were going to straif his house with Uzi's if he even so much as upset me. (my brother's not a skin, but does have friends in strange places)

I never heard from him again. But I rarely give a guy enough leeway to get dangerous. Or even annoying. I think I gave this guy more than I usually would because he was handicapped. (deaf)

Write a book about it. Hopefully, it occurred long ago, so you can make it a comedy movie later.

This is easily the worst sort of luck/series of choices/whatever that I've ever heard of. Wow. Good luck with the next one, in any case. :(

I've never been in a relationship, or even spoken to a woman I've been attracted to. It doesn't come naturally. Dunno why. You stop thinking about it almost completely after a while. Some of the betrayals you hear about (Piu's is a good example) make me feel pretty lucky to be that way, though. Plus, I can honestly say that I've never once been snubbed for a date or otherwise rejected. How many people can say that? :)

Wow. It'll come someday. At least that's what the bastards tell me.

I really haven't had any bad relationships. Every relationship I've been in has ended because I've moved (in the 8 years since I graduated high school I've moved 10 times and I don't mean cross-town moves) or they've moved.

An ex-girlfriend of mine says it's sad that I haven't had much "drama" in my love life, but seeing the sorts of "drama" she suffers through I'm inclined to disagree.

Maybe it's just because I'm cynical, bitter, and jaded, but as far as I know, all girls are crazy in one way or another. The ones who aren't overtly crazy are the ones who getcha.
But according to my friends, the only girls I attract (or that I'm attracted to... or both) are crazy girls. So if they notice some abnormality in my dating record, maybe it's just my luck.
Anyway, I wish you happiness.

Merely commenting that relationships in which there are no problems and your significant other is "perfect" are the ones that end most suddenly and most painfully... or, sometimes, the ones that last.

EDIT: I actually have no idea if they last, I was just trying to sound hopeful.

Careful when you say that. Apparently, if you hook up with a girl more than a few times, it can be construed as a "relationship," even if you were deliberately avoiding one. Which is another long story... :p

So maybe you think you haven't been in a relationship, but someone else thinks you have. And they're gonna bitch you out in public for not calling them.

You know, there is no particular set of rules you must unquestioningly adhere to in a "relationship".
I wholeheartedly recommend you get out and have a little play and suffering. It does so much to a person on emotional and spiritual levels that i cannot overstate its value.
Seriously.

My best relationship was my very first one, at the sweet tender age of 16. We were friends from just about two years old, so when we both came out to each other it was like... whoa. The relationship lasted 11 months before it ended, because of his unfortunate death. I do believe if he hadn't died, we'd still be together today, four years later. Probably forever.

My worst relationship has got to be my most recent. I started dating this amazing guy when I was 18 and we got engaged a year later - I thought I had finally found my soulmate - until he started telling me what to do all the time, and hitting me when I didn't listen. That escalated to even worse heights when he would rape me on a whim when ever he felt "the urge." I was too scared to leave the relationship because when ever I would try, he would threaten to kill me, and stalked me where ever I went to prove that no matter what I did, he would never be out of my life.

He's in prison now, thank god. He's serving 9 years if memory serves.

No thanks, I am not too keen on the suffering side of things; and I am aware of what it does to people on emotional and spiritual levels - I have seen people become emotional disasters because of failed relationships, something I am not keen to duplicate.

I have a question. Why would people stay in relationships, even if they're both unhappy? I mean why torture yourself by staying in a relationship that you don't even want anymore. If both partners are unhappy, then guess what, it's not going to get better. It's only going to get worse until someone gets a black eye or a ride in a body bag.

Ugh, I hate human nature sometimes. Such pointless torturing of one self.

"Psycho bitch" is a good one.

My last one was "down-syndrome chick." She squints when she smiles.

My friends almost always have some nickname about each others' girlfriends, so I make sure to ask what it was after every break-up. My ex now answers to down-syndrome chick as readily as to her own name.... but isn't happy about it.
