Women Who Dumped Their "Manchild" Partners, What Was The Final Straw?

By now, I'm sure you've heard Sabrina Carpenter's most recent single, "Manchild." People everywhere, particularly women, quickly latched onto it as they reminisced on their own unfortunate romantic encounters with man-children. It got me thinking... Just how many women have suffered through a situationship, or, god forbid, a relationship, with a manchild? And what was the moment they decided to say "ENOUGH!"? Perhaps you dated a man who, despite being well into his 20s, didn't really bother learning how to cook, clean, or do his own laundry. He let his mom come over to his place and do all his chores for him. He practically lived off junk food, takeout, and frozen pizzas. When his mom got sick and stopped coming around to clean up after him, he let his apartment get so gross, and he kept complaining about how annoying it was that his mom was too tired to help him out. You quickly snapped out of whatever spell you'd been under and dumped his ass. Related: Maybe you dated a guy in college in your same major who would pout and "punish" you with the silent treatment every time you got a better grade than him. It seemed like a joke at first, but after three semesters of his whining, you realized he was threatened by you. You bombed a test three days after your grandma died, and all he did was laugh at you and gloat about his B-. You broke up with him and landed a much better job after graduation than your loser ex could fathom. Related: Or, perhaps you dated a guy who was really, really weird about periods. He didn't even want to hang out with you when you were on yours. He'd never, in a million years, buy you pads or tampons, nor would he show you sympathy when your cramps were bad. He called periods "gross," and any time you ever got upset with him, he'd automatically go, "What? Are you on your period?" Well, one day, when he made that jab to you over text, you finally realized you'd had enough of his crap and blocked his number. Oooooof, I'm getting mad just writing these hypothetical situations! So, ladies, if you've ever dated and dumped a manchild, we want to hear from you! What was the final straw that inspired you to end things with him?
