Romantic relationships can be full of surprises, but not all of them are pleasant. Sometimes, it takes just a brief moment to learn the person you’re with is not the sharpest t**l in the shed. For some, it’s a harmless realization — like discovering their partner has no idea how plumbing works. For others, it’s a much more sobering wake-up call, exposing reckless behavior and selfish tendencies.
These stories come from a couple of online discussions where people were asked the same blunt and provocative question: When did they first realize they were dating an idiot? However, while the prompt was identical, the answers, as you are about to see, were nothing alike.

When we were at a craft fair, there were some hand knitted gloves that had the price on both left and right, so my boyfriend thought that they were sold separately and tried to pay double the price to "get both of them".

This was when I was younger.
I was on the phone with my boyfriend and I was rambling on about different ideas on how humans were made, why humans exist, and how sexes came to be a thing. Then I started talking about random facts I knew. I mentioned that 1 in 6 people have an extra rib.
Then, he literally said:
“Well, God did take a rib from a guy and make a girl from it. Girls have an extra rib.”
Well, he was obviously Christian… and I wasn’t, so it sounded pretty stupid to me. I also knew that more females existed in the world than males due to nature’s tendency to make sure the “life givers” of the population don’t die out, so I was like “Wait… if 1 in 6 people have an extra rib and if that’s really true… then wouldn’t there be more males then females?”
I broke up with him a couple weeks later, but due to his compulsive lying and inability to understand how important imaginary characters can be (the story is complicated) and not his strong belief in his religion.

This is more of a “The moment I realized my sister was dating an idiot”.
We used to own a motel where I would work during school breaks along with my sisters boyfriend.
Funny, kind, a bit slow, but often confused for a potato because of his tendency to not reply in conversations as if he didn't hear a thing.
We were working at the reception for a midnight shift and we were just talking about everything involving cheddar cheese, movies, and tsunami's (that particular year we had many tsunami warnings) until we eventually fell into a comfortable silence.
Eventually, he randomly says out of nowhere “I couldn't imagine why guys would have their d*cks cut off when they get surgery to become a woman, like imagine when they cut it bro, phaw!” he made ninja slicing sound effects.
Okay, this is so random.
“I wouldn't do it you know.” he said.

My 2nd date with the guy and we went for a meal at the local Indian. He gestured to his spoon and was like 'what's this'
He didn't know what what a chickpea was.
He had other issues aside from this but yeah. Wow.

We are divorced now but he believes that 'irregardless' is a word. He also thinks 'couth' is a word. As if 'couth' would be the opposite of 'uncouth'.
