Love can sometimes be blinding, for better or worse. When you like someone, it’s all too easy to overlook or even forgive their issues, no matter how many. But sometimes someone says or does something so absurdly dumb that it just forces you to snap back to reality.

Someone asked “What was your “I’m dating/married to an idiot” Moment?” and netizens shared their funniest stories. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the best examples and if you’ve been on either side of this equation, feel free to add your own tale to the comments down below.

My husband thought people whistled when they set off fireworks. He didn’t realize the fireworks themselves whistles. Though that was one of his more harmless stupidities.

He thought potatoes never go bad because his mom always kept a bag in the pantry. I asked him if they ate a lot of potatoes and he said yes. They have a large family with 6 kids and it still didn't click.

I bought fresh broccoli and my husband asked why I got such one huge broccoli and not the normal smaller ones. He thought broccoli naturally comes in bite-sized florets.

My partner was grunting and groaning at the bin. He said ‘we need new bin bags, these ones you’ve bought don’t bloody fit’. Went over to see what was going on and he had a roll of small black dog poo bags in his hand with one unfurled trying to work out why it wouldn’t fit in the bin. There were bin bags, he’d just picked up the wrong roll and instead of realizing, tried to get a dog bag in a bin 50 times bigger.

My husband was convinced that bees and wasps are THE SAME THING, just at different times of the year. He thought bees grew up into wasps during the summer... I love him, but... HOW.

We were getting ready to move and we’re going through each room, discussing whether to take or get rid of the furniture. In the bedroom, I remarked that I would like to get new bedside lamps. The ones we had were from his bachelor apartment over a decade ago. He said, “I can see why you’d like new lamps, but it’s kind of amazing that the light bulbs have lasted ten years.” Dear gentle reader, the light bulbs had not lasted that long. He just was never the one to change them.
