Love can sometimes be blinding, for better or worse. When you like someone, it’s all too easy to overlook or even forgive their issues, no matter how many. But sometimes someone says or does something so absurdly dumb that it just forces you to snap back to reality.
Someone asked “What was your “I’m dating/married to an idiot” Moment?” and netizens shared their funniest stories. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the best examples and if you’ve been on either side of this equation, feel free to add your own tale to the comments down below.

While we were moving my Ex-wife asked me who we needed to contact to change our email address…
edit-thx for the responses and upvotes. Promise this isn’t a bad attempt at a joke, this really happened when we moved to a new house in the same region of our state. We both had been using hotmail at the time which made this funnier(to me at least).

My ex boyfriend once asked me if the return label goes on the inside or the outside of the box. He figured it out after I stared at him in shock.

My wife recently realized she is colorblind through her eye doctor. She is an artist, and yes her art is very beautiful, but the way she chose her colors has always been a bit strange. I now realize why! Anyway, when she found out she was shocked. Afterward, as soon as we got home she showed me her color palette that she used to paint, showing me the way she seen colors. I kept trying to explain to her that I don’t see colors like she does, so I don’t know what she sees through her eyes, but she couldn’t understand what I was talking about. 2 days later, she randomly came up to me and said, “Yeah, that makes sense.”.

On our first road trip, I asked my girlfriend (now wife) to take over driving for a bit. She got in the driver’s seat, paused, and said “Don’t be alarmed… but can you remind me which one is the gas and which one is the brake?”
Switched right back and drove there myself.

My ex. Bought a brand new Mac computer, and a set of DVD roms to do photos.
There was a clear plastic cover, the shape of a dvd but thinner.
He decided to see if it would work as a dvd. When it wouldn’t extract he forced a regular dvd in beside it and got them both stuck.
Had to take it back to the Apple store and get it fixed.
This was the same man who tried to use my child’s plastic thermos to hammer in a nail and punctured the thermos.

In the same conversation, a girl I was seeing asked if potatos "grew on trees like grapes" and "do people in the navy get paid or do they just volunteer to pass away?"

He was making noodles and put in the seasoning packet but didn’t mix it in. He then complained that the noodle brand was rubbish because the noodles only had flavour on one part.

When she told me that if you put Coke out in the sun it turns yellow, like all the bottles on the edge of the highway.

Not me, my mom with my stepdad. My stepdad is *highly* allergic to shellfish, like one bite could put him in the hospital. One night mom and stepdad are out at dinner, and my stepdad orders clam chowder. My mom was like, "Are you absolutely sure?" And it took him a good minute to realize why it would not in fact be the best idea to order a clam chowder.

I was at the supermarket with this girl I'd been seeing for a couple of weeks. We were in the produce section and she said she wanted to make homemade lemonade so i went and grabbed some lemons. She told me "not these ones silly, I want to make pink lemonade, we can't use yellow lemons".

Found out she was eating half-cooked premade pot pies cause she broiled every meal in the oven instead of baking it. She told me she hated that her oven burnt the top of each one and left the bottom doughy…she would eat the uncooked dough regardless.

Two instances come to mind. (Same guy) he went to order a salad and told them “with lettuce” it was a salad that was basically just lettuce that he’s had before. We went through a drive thru before and instead of giving them our order he gave them his name. His full name. We aren’t together anymore but those two moments I look back on alot.

My wife, when we were dating, was driving along the highway. We could see trees moving in the breeze. She says, boy, how windy do you think it is? Rolled down the window and stuck her hand out to feel the breeze. In a moving car at highway speed. I was driving but looked over at her as she did it. Well, is it windy? Yes.

I loaned my ex $65 to go pay his phone bill. I was going that way anyway so I told him I would pay it for him along the way. He gave me back the $65 and I paid it at the T-Mobile store. Payday came and I asked him for the $65, he said he already paid me back. He got so mad and said I was a forgetful idiot and just kept asking yes or no did he give me the money back. And I said yes but I then paid the bill for you! His friends all agreed I’m an idiot and he never paid me back. That is moment I knew he was an idiot.

While driving to the lake with our kayak strapped down to the top of the car, two straps through the door holes of the car, front and back, she (now ex-wife) asked why the kayak doesn't just fly off the back when we take off at a light.
She couldn't understand the concept of friction, or straps I guess.
She has a master's in neuroscience.
