Er... people keep relationships by not staying with terrible people who really ought to be dumped, so they actually have a better shot at finding a good person? I mean I agree, not every little trivial thing is a dumpable offense, but when it comes to the serious stuff, why not? Especially if you're young and have plenty of time to find the right person, if that's what you want.

Most of the stuff is completely trivial, though. Girlfriend wants a tattoo you don't like? Dump her. Boyfriend squeezes your spots? Dump him (and he's probably a rapist).

These are both threads I've seen on here.

I recall the tattoo one and honestly, I'd say that's something the anon needed to discuss with his girlfriend and be honest about how much it bothered him. The spot squeezing was gross. Anon made it clear that she didn't want her BF to do that, she'd told him repeatedly, and he still insisted on doing it even if it meant physically overpowering her.

Now, that doesn't make him a rapist, but I fail to see how this DOESN'T make him a dick. Why would anyone want to date someone who ignores their personal space preferences like that? Is he otherwise such an amazing prize of a gentleman that the fact that he pounces on his girlfriend and squeezes her zits (which is highly unsanitary and opens her up the risk to infected pores and scarring, BTW) is something she needs to overlook?

I say nah, and feel free to ditch him. Far more people settle for mediocre relationships than is necessary, and I suspect the number greatly outweighs the people who dump their significant others for trivial reasons.

Agreed - I wasn't there for that thread, but holy shit. That's invasive and it IS infringing on her bodily autonomy even if not in a sexual way. Definitely a dumpable offense, if she's told him to stop and he keeps doing it. Ew.

I'm pretty sure the tattoo one was a case where she was trying to get a tattoo of his phobia (wasps I think). Of course he can't tell her what to do with her body, but he also has every right to move on if a situation in their relationship literally triggers a phobia, I mean come on.

Basically, FS doesn't usually post relationship threads about small shit. Sometimes people do and sometimes other people overreact, but I'd say the majority of relationship threads (that aren't trolling) are actually about really serious things.
