Group Therapy: new girlfriend wants a new mattress.

Once again, just trying to help a couple out…it’s group therapy and since moving in, she thinks they need a new mattress! The Mike & Carla Morning Show threw it out there for discussion. Wanted to know if other couples have actually gone through this.

A guy has his new girlfriend move into his house…that he used to share with another woman. As it turns out, everything was going okay until she brought up the subject of a new mattress! The new girlfriend was NOT going to sleep in the same mattress the “she” did! Pointing out obvious reasons of course.

Group Therapy: Should They Get A New Mattress

So, that’s what The M&C Morning Show set out to find. Was this a common problem in a new relationship? And if so, how did you handle it? What advice would you give this guy? It was quite the conversation this morning with both men and women giving their own thoughts on this issue.

Mike O’Brian said that after his last divorce, she wanted the entire bedroom set…heck, take it! Mike was very adamant about the fact that he didn’t want it at all! Carla Rea didn’t think it was that big of a deal until one brings it up!

One woman said that if the new girl wanted a new mattress, then maybe she should just layout the money for it. Don’t think it would bother the guy very much. Hey look at this, new girlfriend, new mattress! WIN-WIN!

On the other hand, if this is the worst problem they have to face as a couple, then they should do fine. However, a few of the listeners chiming in didn’t think it would be. If you’ve even been in this situation, you should listen to the segment. What did you do when this came up…or did it ever. Listen to it and then let us know!

The Worst Place To Get Dumped

Not sure about the last time someone broke up with you, but where is the worst place to get dumped? So think about it for a minute if this has happened to you. It can’t be a very happy thought, but to help others, why not? For example, this one guy decided to breakup with his girlfriend on a plane set to take off. Not the best move, but for whatever reason, he thought he would give it a shot.

By the audio provided below, the young lady was not expecting it, nor was she happy. Would you be? C’mon guys, have a little common decency…or just rip off the band-aid I guess. Now a lot of people will tell you to do it in a public place so things don’t get out of hand. Does that actually work? Clearly it didn’t on the plane, so where is the worst place you’ve been dumped?

Where Are The Worst Places To Get Dumped?

Before we seek out the truly worst places to get dumped, let’s talk about some honorable mentions. How about at a surprise party! Yeah, that’s the time and place to find out that it’s over…especially when she threw you the party! SURPRISE!

How about finding out when you’re out shopping with your mom and you get a text saying, “…it’s over!” Not the best feeling in the world, but at least you don’t have the fact to face confrontation and it’s done! Of course, sooner or later you’ll have to get all your stuff back.

Okay, one more before we hit up the Top 5, how about before having surgery? You are there with that other person who’s giving you comfort and hoping they will be there even afterward. Even though you pull through the surgery with flying colors, all of a sudden you’re single again!

Before scrolling down to see some of the worst places to breakup, listen to the audio of the guy who just broke up with this girlfriend on a plane…then scroll down!

#5 ON A BUS
Seriously? On a bus? Yep, it happens to the best of us. You can’t even wait to get off at your next stop…it’s that bad. That’s why we think breaking up on a bus should be at #5!

#4 MOVIE THEATER
Well, at least if this happens to you at the theater, you can just slip out the door. It’s dark and normally not a lot of people. A good reason to put this at #4 on the worst place to get dumped.

#3 RIGHT BEFORE BEING DEPLOYED
You would think this would be the worst place to get dumped. Just before being shipped out and thinking at least I have this in my life…but NOT! #3 on the list!

#2 RIGHT AFTER SURGERY
We know we mentioned before going into surgery, but this might be a bit worse when you come out of surgery. You go in thinking you’re all good, go under, have the procedure, only to wake up and find out, uh yeah, listen I think we should call it quits! Cold! That’s why it’s at #2

#1 IN THE SHOWER
This has to be the oddest place right? You get up in the morning thinking everything is great, hop into the shower together and then the “soap” drops. Before you know it, it’s over and you have to pack up your things and move on. Clearly the reason this is the #1 worst place to get dump!
