What is something that more than one of your ex's has criticized you for?!
Question: You know what, I haven't had that many 'boyfriends' in my life.
I was married and we split because I was unstable emotionally and drunk all the time. After a traumatic event I would not let anyone close to me and I spent most of the time drunk and depressed. He left me for another woman but I had pushed him away. Even then I could have saved my marriage but I chose to let him go. He was the only man I have ever known in my whole life who loved me. I have not seen him in over 20 years, though I see his brother every now and then.
During the later part of my marriage and for the 8 years following it most of my relationships were alcohol induced brief affairs and one-night stands. Nameless faces and empty sex.
I did have one relationship that lasted for a little over a year but it was tumultuous to say the least. He was 16 years younger than me. I was 35 when it started. I seduced him. I knew it would not last forever but I did care a lot for him. When it was over he blamed his family. Logical, yes, because of our age difference.
A one night stand, well actually 2 nights with a man left me pregnant when I was 37. He wanted no part of it. I don't blame him, I hardly knew him. Pregnancy forced me to stop drinking. I wanted my baby very much. That baby probably saved my life.
Sobriety left me with a lot of anger towards men so I spent the next 14 years celibate. I found contentment during that time.
Last December I decided to try again and I met Joe. My celibacy was over. For 4 months we had a good time. He was a nice guy. He ended it because he met someone else. He blamed my son, saying Dylan resented him. *sign* Dylan could not have cared less.
I never had a contentious breakup really. I think that must be unusual. Maybe I just didn't hear what I should have heard from them. I never really loved any of them except my husband.
Too much information? As usual, yes.

Not being able to cook.
my apathy
eh. who cares
"if you ever grow a heart, you'll be perfect".
i'm heartless, apparently.
Screaming during scary movies.
being fat even though at that time I was only 95 pounds. Thankfully I got out of that horrible situation
Nothing.
BUT, people that wanted me to go out with them, have criticized me.
I've had several people tell me that they fell in love with me, which is always a shock, for me. I never have any clue; in some instances, I honestly didn't even know that the person existed.
They say I broke their heart, by not loving back--while, in fact, I didn't even know.
It's something I'll always regret; and yet, I can't seem to stop making people feel that way.
I guess that makes me a heartbreaker?
spend too much money.
My expectations are too high.
Jeez... that's a staggeringly long list of criticisms I'm going to have to mentally sort through to answer this one!
Probably the top two are: being too impulsive and undisciplined with money and having to "always be right". Both criticisms do have some merit.
The funniest one was when an old girlfriend called me an "unfeeling bastard". I'm the most emotionally demonstrative man I know.
