Relationships

Everyone deserves love. Even idiots! But dating an idiot is not for everyone. Sometimes, however, we don&#39;t realize someone&#39;s idiocy until it&#39;s too late and we&#39;ve already succumbed to their charms. And at that point, you just have to decide whether or not it&#39;s worth continuing to pursue a relationship with someone who thinks cows lay eggs.....<h2>Someone <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/6kp89n/reddit_at_what_moment_did_you_realize_you_were/" target="_blank">asked</a> Reddit: &quot;At what moment did you realize you were dating an idiot?&quot; These 23 people share how they realized their significant other was not the brightest bulb...</h2>1.)

I always wondered what they were.. Then one day, I went over one time and saw her hair straightener lying on the carpet. She left it on ALL THE FU**ING TIME, and would just go to work. Like.. how have you not burned your apartment complex down yet? </blockquote>2.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/mimepanda/">mimepanda</a>:<div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> We were having dinner when I mentioned I couldn&#39;t eat cheese because I&#39;m lactose intolerant. He asked how I could eat eggs. I told him that lactose was found in dairy, which comes from cows. He vehemently rejected my explanation that eggs did not come from cows and were not dairy, and wouldn&#39;t believe me until he googled it for himself. </blockquote>3.)

I said I had $20,000 in student loan debt. He said he had something like $20,000, too. He then changed his answer to $40,000. Then thought about it and didn&#39;t know. I pressured him to actually figure it out.... turns out, he owed $120,000 in student loans. He blamed the loan company for not telling him how much he was taking out. He blamed them for making him pay it all back. I pointed out that the information was on the forms he signed every year. He said that it was unrealistic for them to make him read all of that information. My favorite part is that his degree is in communication. </blockquote>10.)
