We all have that ex—the one who wasn’t really an ex, the one who cheated, or the one who wanted no strings attached. We’ve spent months trying to make things work and convince our best friends that they’re THE ones and that they need to be given a chance, only to be heartbroken after a while. They say that there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Today, we’re adding another—looking back and having a good laugh with some snarky and savage recollections, which happen to serve as major red flags to any and everybody out there! When we asked a few people to tell us what warning label their ex would come with, their responses were beyond hilarious. From being called ‘damaged goods’ to ‘fragile’, here’s what they had to say.
