    She did not trust me in the least. Every chance she got to doubt my commitment, she took it.

    I didn’t put in enough effort in life or the relationship, and when I started to put in more effort she had already given up and made the decision that no matter what I do we’re done. It had been 11 years.

    Cheating. They denied it, but when 5 of my friends who I’ve 1) known a lot longer, and 2) have no reason to lie to me, tell me they saw her with someone else multiple times, I tend to believe them. She kept denying it, I could tell she was trying to force herself to cry, but it just came off as pathetic. I told her I never wanted to see her again, and I never did. Not long after that, I met the woman I eventually married and have been with ever since.

    I missed some red flags because I was in a bad accident. She stuck through me during my bad time, which I thought was sweet and commendable. As I slowly got my health and strength back, I saw that she had a lot of issues and was in need of some serious therapy. She was a victim of abuse, probably dating back to childhood. And she also had a eating disorder and a drinking problem.

    I started going down the rabbit hole with her, but eventually had to end it. She said she was going to work on her issues but it was apparent that she was very good at avoiding help. The last straw was on NYE. She lied to me about drinking. We were watching a movie and she kept getting up to go to the kitchen. When she got back to the couch, I went to the kitchen and opened up one of the dish cupboards and there was a full (to the brim) glass of wine. It wasn’t the first time she lied about it either. I knew that in the new year that I’d have to end it, and I did.

    Too bad. She has a heart of gold, is attractive, and has a lot going for her but her life is falling apart because of her issues.

    Cultural differences. We kept our relationship a secret, and his parents wanted him in an arranged marriage. Eventually, he couldn’t avoid it, so we broke up.

    Third person got involved and caused a lot of miscommunication between us. Led to my ex emotionally cheating on me.

    She went from being excited to see me and asking about my day and cuddling me to sleep after making love to barely acknowledging my presence and playing Destiny 2 until 2 or 3 in the morning with men who flirted with her while I cried myself to sleep.

  29. Wiglse Avatar

    Invited me for a Christmas dinner at her place (2 hours away from the city) just to break up with me. And I was stuck at her place for a couple of days because no busses were available during holidays. Hurt me quite badly, oh and also emotional manipulation, physical abuse & cheating.

    Among many things, 80% of what she talked about was how much she hates men because they always abuse and take advantage of women. The rest 20% was about how amazing she is.

    He cheated on me with a man day before my birthday and then he forgot my birthday and we had to redo it on valentine’s day which was bad. Then he went to his BROJO sesh. Yeah I found out days following my birthday that they had been doing this for the entire time we were back together.

    We were in a relationship for almost five years. Five years of begging him to talk to me, listen to my hurt, spend time together.

    I’m bisexual and now my fear is that a man or woman will now leave me for a standard I can never compare to. A man. He really fucked me up mentally.

    Too many red flags for me to deal with any longer. We were together for 3 years but honestly I regret starting it in the first place, and not ending it after a few months. Reasons included but arent limited to:

    • She loved drama. She needed drama. She didnt like calm, she wanted storm. She didnt want peace, she actively sought conflict. Why? Because “no arguments means we dont care enough about each other”, which is a load of horseshit.
    • sex = love to her. If I didnt want sex it was a direct sign to her I didnt love her. Didnt matter if she was home all alone and I worked 9 hours that day, traveled for 2, did groceries, the cooking, and even the laundry and I was a damn wreck. Sex or it meant no love, which in turn became conflict.
    • she was irresponsible with money. If she had 10 bucks on her and needed to pay back someone she’d pay them back and immediately spend the remaining money. She couldnt save a damn cent. Oh but dont worry, I had a stable income so I could take her out to dinner, trips, buy clothing, get her gifts etc etc.
    • one of the worst offenders: she was dishonest about money. She had someone handle her finances so she wouldnt get into debt again. Frequently if I had to get her something like parking money or stuff we agreed on we would both pay for… I had to chase after my money and talk to her money handler who, what a twist, was never informed. She did the same shit with her mom.
    • and finally: she just didnt do anything when she moved in with me. No dishes. No laundry. No cooking. No cleaning. She would leave empty bags and shit everywhere. Called her out on this numerous times, and it was always “why are you mad its JUST A BAG”.

    Admittedly and to her credit, after the relationship ended she fully admitted she contributed maybe 10% to the relationship stability, and nothing more. We still remain decent friends, but even fwb isnt happening anymore. Just seeing her reminded me of how much I didnt feel like a person/boyfriend, but just a walking servant or wallet.

    Feeling alone when you’re together in the same room is a shit feeling.

    He was a man child and didn’t want to grow up, it made me fall out of love with him. Overall – a great guy, he was just too immature about certain things that I couldn’t handle and couldn’t make him want to change. We are both happily married to other people now and it all worked out for the best.

  61. No-Research-9425 Avatar

    Me. Frankly, I didn’t love her. Jumped into something when I wasn’t ready, and even though I was a good guy to her for those 8 months or so, I simply wasted her time.

    She gave me gonorrhea. Which also implies she cheated and she wasn’t careful. Also she continued to lie even when confronted with lab results.

    This was just yesterday. I’m on my second day of treatment. 5 more days and I’ll be completely rid of her, hopefully.

  74. pbd1996 Avatar

    Looking back, I think it would’ve ended anyway because I didn’t like him enough to keep dating him when I went back to college (it was a summer fling) but at the time, I ended the relationship because he was too needy.

    When I would go to work (as a lifeguard) each day, he would text me throughout my entire shift. If there were long gaps of time between my texts (because I was on chair rotation) he would send passive aggressive texts about me not caring enough to respond. When I got home from work, he’d want to hangout immediately. If I wanted time to myself before hanging out, he’d again accuse me of not caring enough. If I wanted to stay in and not see him (because I had work early the next day too), he’d interrogate me. It was suffocating. I felt like I couldn’t go about my day-to-day life without him buzzing around me like a fucking fly.

    I ended up dumping him a few days before my birthday and he took it quite well. He then messaged me on my birthday asking if I wanted my present- since it was not returnable and he had purchased it prior to us breaking up. I didn’t want to be mean, so I said sure. Then, when I went to his house, he continued to be extremely needy and suffocating. He started asking if there was someone else and questioning me a ton.

    He died…it’s a strange thing not having broken up with someone… the first few years after I had him on a pedestal as I remembered all the good times…

    … it’s been 5 years now, and I’m recalling the less than favorable things… the things that I’ll use to better define my boundaries in my next relationship. He was my first boyfriend, and my first real experience dealing with a man romantically.

    … it’s just a weird feeling, sometimes… having not chosen to walk away or end it…

    My wife died. Mycobacterium Avium Complex. Typically you see this a lot in the lungs of immunocompromised patients.

    Hers was in her brain. From the research I have gathered, there have been less than 10 known cases in the US. And this comes from the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, MD, where she passed.

    He asked if he could hit me during sex. I said that light, basically tapping was fine if he really wanted to. During sex, he hit me lightly, it was fine. He then proceeded to get this just crazed look in his eyes before hitting me so hard that I lost hearing in my right ear for a couple days.

    I then found out about how violent his actual fantasies were, much more violent than hitting. It was like once he got one good hit in, the flood gates were open and he couldn’t stop saying all the horrible stuff he wanted to do. It was terrifying. Like, stuff I can’t say on Reddit.

    Anyways. Haven’t dated since, because that was so disturbing to go through. My ear is better now though! I didn’t go to the doctor because I was afraid that I’d get interviewed by police, and I did say he could hit me so I didn’t want to get slut shamed by police about that, but thankfully it healed on its own.

  79. awkward-black-girl Avatar

    I ended things because I made way more of an effort to spend time with him than he did for me. I went two months without seeing him in person, even though he lived 20 minutes away from me. I’m certain he started developing feelings for someone else, but I have no evidence

    She kept saying she needed less and less of me in her life. I kept giving it to her. After all, having her in my life was the best thing I had.

    Then she says that she only wants me to come over once a week and only for a little while. This stunned me, but I thought on it a day or two. I called her on the phone, and said “Sure. I agree to only coming over once a week and only for a little while.” Even though it hurt to say.

    This bitch tells me “I didn’t say you could come over anymore”.

    So I called her a “lying c***” and that was that.

    My addiction to drugs. That and we had marital problems before that secret came to light. But once it did, the shit hit the fan and that really ended it. In the end, I think we are both happier now. I didn’t want the marriage to end, I was in it for life.. but I understand her decision and don’t blame her. I wish she would have stayed, sickness n health n all that but I can’t change the past. I can only move forward with positivity. I’m 10 months single and 10 months clean and sober.

    He was verbally abusive. Constantly screaming at me and our 1 year old child. Refused to get a job. I was working night shift 9-7, getting home and immediately getting our child for the day so he could sit on the couch and play games. I was barely eating and sleeping. I would get maybe 4-5 hours of sleep a week. And I was eating once every 2-3 days. Not to mention paying rent and bills. Not to mention he was more worried about being with his 16 year old girlfriend. He wouldn’t even sleep in the bed with me. We’re both in our 20s. Thats just the gist of it, theres so much more that makes it even crazier.

    he needed to “work on himself and couldn’t handle a relationship” mind you, this was after we were dating and after he told me he loved me

  90. MDS2133 Avatar

    He started getting overly obsessed with taking my virginity (we were seniors in hs) and was overly sexual at all times (always asking for nudes/videos/sexual comments). I couldn’t see him for 10 minutes without him trying to feel me up (and we worked at the same place). That was the main cause but i found out later he was talking to other girls while he was working late and I was not there. (and by “talking to” I mean flirting, texting, video chatting, etc with girls that we ALSO worked with)

    He smoked weed and cigarettes every single day in his apartment (the smell was nauseating. literally) and had anger issues that he didn’t want to admit. (Hit a computer screen with his fist right in front of me because of WiFi issues and once slightly slapped my face because I accidentally startled his cat which caused it to run into sth face first).
    We were friends before dating and I just ignored some red flags I saw during that time because my attraction to him clouded my judgement.

    Lots of little things piling up to be big things, always checking my phone turned into trying to get me to not see my friends, that turned into outright forbidding me or giving me limits and curfews, then he had someone else stalk me to make sure I listened to him and so on … Scary honestly, I still can’t handle a car driving behind me for to long
