![]() Dunn also hosts the podcast Bad with Money, which launched in 2016 and which primarily focuses on personal finances, while also discussing subjects including poverty and economic oppression. Since 2014, Dunn has hosted the YouTube comedy show and podcast Just Between Us with fellow former BuzzFeed writer Allison Raskin. More than any of the rest of his relationships, this points to some deeper psychological issues going on with Jerry.Gabriel Shane Dunn (formerly Gaby Dunn born June 1, 1988) is an American writer, podcaster, actor, and filmmaker. For Jerry, who’s in his late 30s here, to feel the need to break off a relationship because of his parents’ approval - that’s extremely petty. She’s wonderful, and they have a great relationship. George and Kramer call her a loser, but Jerry actually dumps Ellen because his parents approve of her. Raskin’s Reasoning: “She doesn’t have any friends. When They Dated: “The Van Buren Boys,” Season 8, Episode 14 There’s a real lesson here.” Play 1 Ellen You should be able to handle your partner’s body and the idea that your partner has to be physically attractive to you every moment of the day is really, really petty. ![]() Raskin’s Reasoning: “Not to reveal too much, but I very much relate to this character - I do a lot of my chores naked. Why They Broke Up: She walked around naked too much. When They Dated: “The Apology,” Season 9, Episode 9 It’s petty, but it’s a societal bias, which is hard to work through.” Raskin’s Reasoning: “This highlights the stigma people have around phone sex workers, which is a societal issue more so than a personal issue. Why They Broke Up: He believed her to be a phone sex worker. When They Dated: “The Stall,” Season 5, Episode 12 Plus, he was pretty happy with her before that.” Play 19 Jane I think that’s the reason for the breakup, which is kind of petty because he’s more concerned about how others are perceiving him, as opposed to the actual happiness he was getting from the relationship. I think, when George and Susan became more affectionate, Jerry saw what it was like for someone else to be lovey-dovey and thought it was disgusting. Raskin’s Reasoning: “Jerry says they couldn’t make a mental connection, but I don’t believe that. ![]() ![]() Why They Broke Up: Though she was physically affectionate, they couldn’t make the connection mentally. When They Dated: “The Soup Nazi,” Season 7, Episode 6 I think it’s the saddest one, but it’s more about their own issues around commitment than any kind of pettiness.” Raskin’s Reasoning: “I think Jerry and Elaine are meant for each other, but they’re both too afraid. Why They Broke Up: On the show, Jerry once told his parents that he and Elaine fought too much, and they had an issue with “physical chemistry.” Later on, when they tried to arrange a “friends-with-benefits” situation, they couldn’t make it work because they developed feelings for each other. When They Dated: Before Season 1, and in “The Deal,” Season 2, Episode 9 It’s the most valid reason of all.” Play 37 Elaine Raskin’s Reasoning: “I want to make a firm stand and say that someone being racist is a great reason to break up with them. When They Dated: “The Yada Yada,” Season 8, Episode 19 Some, much to Raskin’s own surprise, were perfectly justifiable reasons to end a relationship, but others are far more petty than they might even appear. She agreed to help me rank every time Jerry dumped a woman on the show, plus the times the women in his life broke up with him due to his own pettiness. It’s one of the pettiest breakups over the show’s nine seasons, but is it the pettiest? And were all of Jerry’s breakups really that petty?įor answers, I turned to comedian, podcaster, relationship expert and Seinfeld superfan Allison Raskin, author of Overthinking About You: Navigating Romantic Relationships When You Have Anxiety, OCD and/or Depression. But Jerry quickly walks back his transformation when he dumps Melanie for eating her peas one-at-a-time. In an attempt to remain true to their word (at least temporarily), George gets engaged to his ex-girlfriend Susan, while Jerry briefly reunites with Melanie, a woman he dumped for shushing him. We’re pathetic!” Afterward, he and George form a pact to grow up. We come up with all these stupid little reasons to break up with these women. “What kind of lives are these? We’re like children. “What are we doing?” he asks George at the coffee shop. During the Season Seven premiere of Seinfeld, Jerry comes to a realization about his dating life.
