When we care about someone, we tend to accept them as they are—flaws and all. That’s part of what love is.
But even love has its limits, especially when your partner starts acting less like an adult and more like someone who needs constant supervision.
These Redditors shared the exact moments they realized they were dating someone who couldn’t function in the real world—and let’s just say, some of these stories are jaw-dropping. Scroll down to read them all (and maybe feel a little better about your own dating history).

When my ex gfs told me that they won't work, drive, cook, or help me out in emergencies but I'm expected to provide them a place to stay, pay all the bills and have still have enough money to take us both out to a vacation. She justified it by saying "it's traditional." I argued that she's basically looking for a sugar daddy. We broke up because I couldn't agree to a one sided relationship. Normally this is the part where I say that they've been single ever since but unfortunately it's been a 50/50. One of them was able to find a man that would give into her demands while the other ex sat at home for 10 years because she believed a man would come rescue her.

Once per week she took her car to her parents. Her father would check the fluid levels and take it to the corner station to fill it up with gas. Apparently she never learned to use a gas pump because the machines are "too complicated these days." She was a pharmaceutical assistant.
