Because all women are 'hysterical' apparently.

If you’ve ever had the misfortune of being called “hysterical,” “crazy,” or “insane” by an ex-boyfriend, you’ll appreciate these stories from the women of Reddit.

From not wanting kids to simply missing them too much, these girlfriends were unceremoniously ditched thanks to their completely “crazy” antics.

Take a look at these if you don’t believe us; they’re enough to transport you back to the Victorian era.

For wanting commitment

“Because I wanted to get married after 3 years of dating each other.”

For a second chance

“I called like 20 times and offered to pay money to talk things out… At the time I thought I was fighting for what I loved. Instead I kinda looked crazy and desperate. Oops.”

For wanting conversation

“Because after 3 years of dating (mostly long distance), I was crazy for wanting us to talk for at least 20 minutes a day without him playing video games through our whole conversation.”

For not being misogynistic

“Because I think women are biologically capable of being funny.”

For being hurt

“I would invite him to every activity or get together I had planned or had been invited to, even if he had zero interest in going, at least he had the opportunity if he had wanted to go. But him planning several trips back to his hometown or various other family or lunch outings, without a single invite extended out to me, I’m the crazy one for feeling exclusively left out.”

For loving too much

“He travelled extensively for work and I never really saw much of him. He’d be gone for 2 or 3 weeks at a time and then be home for 1 or 2 days. God forbid I would be sad when he left or frustrated in any way because we didn’t spend a decent amount of time together. And don’t bring it up. Can’t you see his vision? He’s only doing this for us, for our future. So no, he won’t be home for your birthday and please don’t make any plans for anything that involves him because he honestly doesn’t ever know if he can make it. Because you are not a priority. Ever. And don’t be sad about that. You’re crazy.”

For being too uptight

“I was an uptight, controlling, smothering bitch because, after three months of dating exclusively, I wanted us to talk about whether I was his girlfriend, maybe he could tell his parents (with whom he lived) that I existed, and he should let me know he was going to be late when he was still at home (an hour away) on Gchat when we were supposed to be meeting. (We were both in our 30s, by the way.)”

For being hurt

“I would invite him to every activity or get together I had planned or had been invited to, even if he had zero interest in going, at least he had the opportunity if he had wanted to go. But him planning several trips back to his hometown or various other family or lunch outings, without a single invite extended out to me, I’m the crazy one for feeling exclusively left out.”

For not wanting kids

“Just because I don’t ever want to have nor raise kids does not make me crazy. If anything it shows I’m rational enough to know I’m not fit to be a parent. That’s actually responsible. Just because your childhood friend had a baby doesn’t mean you should have one.”

For asking him to quit drugs

“I wanted him to quit doing acid every two weeks. He started to change. I was crazy because I wouldn’t try it.”

For having mental health problems

“Multiple men have been very disappointed to learn that when you date a woman who has mental health issues, they don’t go away once you stick your dick in her. So I’ve been the ~crazy~ girlfriend for having normal symptoms of depression- but I was supposed to tolerate all their addiction issues.”
