โ€œAs a chef, I would never marry one, and I certainly donโ€™t recommend anyone marry me (again).โ€

As a staff writer at BuzzFeed, I write about all things celeb, pop culture, and books.

"My MIL's ex-husband is a cop, and he got her thrown in jail twice while they were going through their divorce."

"I'd never willingly marry into law enforcement again."

"I was going to post 'nurses.' Don't get me wrong, they do wonderful work. My mom and aunt are nurses, and they're also the reason for my answer. Mostly because when they've had a drink or two, the funny work stories start, and a nurse's funny story basically always starts with someone shitting themselves."

"I had a four-month talking stage with a chef, but it didn't work out because I'm not free weekdays, and he's not free weekends. We could only hang out on public holidays that were during the week. We gave up after our second time meeting each other."

"My sister dated a rather popular one. Initially, he was rather charming and funny. Guy turned out to be a complete narcissist, had a huge ego, and was verbally abusive with my sister. In the two years they were together, I think he had one post on his Instagram with her in it, as he wanted to appear single."

"A military chaplain I've spoken to says that many servicemen will use phrasing like 'my starter wife.' Fucking heartbreaking. All for benefits."

"This is my choice also. I dated several musicians when I lived in LA, and I wouldn't do it again, at least not any well-known or on-the-brink-of-well-known entertainers. People who need to be worshipped can't be satisfied otherwise."

"Same. This is probably my number one thing. Call me a hopeless romantic, but I don't think I could just do the long periods of being gone. I guess it's good when you're young, but eventually, I would like to settle down."

"She then proceeded to leave multiple angry voicemails and texts on my phone for days afterward, and I blocked her. Then she changed the bio on her Instagram to read 'fuck you [NAME]' after I had blocked her on socials as well. THEN she showed up at my apartment unannounced and left seven pages of notes asking for me back taped to my door. THEN, twice, she texted me from a number I did not recognize last week, asking if I'd be interested in reconnecting. More time has passed with us apart than when we were in a relationship, and she is still trying to contact me. NEVER. AGAIN."

"Honestly, anyone in a dealership who isn't an hourly employee. Work/life balance doesn't exist, it's just work, sleep, caffeine, repeat..."
