20 People Share Petty Reasons They Broke Up With Their Partners
Dating is tough. You never know who you might run into.
Most importantly, you never know how are you going to react to some of their flaws (which aren't exactly flaws but still annoy you). Do you want a boyfriend who walks on his toes?
Maybe you're looking for somebody who always smells like cooking oil? Or perhaps you want a partner who never uses pillowcases?
Well if you said yes to any of the above, then you're in luck because as you can see from this hilarious list of reasons that people deserved a breaking up, all of these folks are currently leading a single life!

Well, do you relate to these stories? One question arises - how did these people break up?
What did they list as a reason? The truth, or did they make something up? We guess it's the second option.
Because the truth would probably make them look a bit weird. And they wouldn't want that, right?
