That is a very valid reason! Multiple times, I have considered that option, with my wife, non the less. Although, I am sorry for your whole predicament….

There's a girl I like and who is awesome, but I'm afraid of dating her because her parents are right wing religious nuts. If your boyfriend has a similarly valid reason, I can agree with him.

That's one of the few *legitimate* reasons to dump someone. If your mom is a scary, battle axe now, he knows that eventually you are going to become a scary battle axe!

Today, my girlfriend decided to pleasure me with a handjob. It was incredibly painful because she didn't understand that my foreskin isn't as flexible as she thought it to be. I didn't have the heart to tell her to stop until she asked, "Is it supposed to turn this color?" FML

Today, I found out I have syphilis. I only slept with one person in my entire life, my boyfriend of 2 years. When I told him about it, he burst into tears and said, "It was one time at a company party" and "Maybe if you put some Vagisil or something, it will go away." Seriously? FML
