I Think She's Perfect … Well Not Really

She was special. At least that’s what I initially thought. She was beautiful, smart, funny—basically everything that I could have ever hoped for in a woman. There was just one problem…
I hated her voice.
And when I say hate, I don’t mean it from the perspective of, “I know she’s gonna nag me so I hate to hear her talk.” … No, it was much deeper than that. It was actually physically painful for me to hear her speak. Her voice was semi-deep, nasally, coarse—she basically sounded like this weird mix of Nell Carter meets Smurfette meets Keyshia Cole’s mom Frankie. (weird right?)
At first, I thought I could overlook it, but the more we went out, the more I realized that I just couldn’t get past it. So I quickly put an end to things.
Was I wrong for my decision? Am I the only one guilty of ending a relationships based on something so trivial?
As I wrestled with this thought, I decided to ask a few of my friends to see if they’d ever had a similar experience. Here are some of my favorite responses:
