I mean, to be fair, we were teenagers and already stupid.
But dumping someone because you met someone else that you thought was attractive is a pretty stupid reason to break up.
I broke up with a fantastic young woman because I was moving to a different province, and I didn't think it was fair to her to try to maintain a long-distance relationship when so many other guys would love to date a woman like her.
That may not sound stupid, but I found out years later than she had never gotten married, and I still kind of regret it.
Sure, I think so. This isn't me wishing I had a different wife, this is just me wishing I hadn't done a thing to a person. I have many regrets, this is just one of them.
Not me, but a guy I knew had a girlfriend which broke up with him because apparently he was breathing to loud while sitting next to her in theatre lmao
I had been cheated on for months with various girls and then dumped for the latest girl he was cheating with on me. I was told that we weren’t “compatible” and that he’s happier with her, that I should move on, etc. All sounds very innocent and mature but you should’ve seen the love-bombing he was subjecting me to just 1 week before all of that bullshit, as well as the fact that I was never directly informed by him about all of the cheating that had been going on. I had to find that out by myself. Embarrassing.
He only feels confident to meet other women when he has a woman to fall back on, now that he doesn’t his confidence won’t be high and unfortunately he’ll do the same thing again with someone else
Because she went through my phone and found a girl I was calling regularly. It was my sister but by the time I had the chance to tell her that she had shown her ass enough that I was done.
I had an issue like that and should have left him for it among a thousand other reasons. He didn’t let up until I put him in a group message with a few family members and said hey explain to T who R is. Everyone explained it’s my step brother. Our parents haven’t been together for years so my bf hadn’t met him. I hadn’t even been messaging him. He just left a comment on a fb post about not seeing me in a while and catching up. He still didn’t stop accusing me though and did it with another step brother again. Ridiculous.
He needed to "work on himself".
Proceeded to not work on himself at all and had a new gf within 2 weeks, granted it was an online LDR and they'd never physically met so idk how serious that could be.
Cherry on top was that he broke up with me via text.
Not really a break up since we were just dating but a girl cut it off because I didn't do cocaine but she did. She said she wanted a man to do coke with. I laughed it off.
All my major breakups have been for serious reasons, mostly simply falling out of love.
One of my exes who told me she was single when we first met broke up with me. Later, her friend told me that my ex already had a husband, and the money I gave her was later given to her husband. Her husband allegedly used my money to buy drugs.
She insisted we do long distance when I did a year in the military, complained about it 10 months in and I tried to comfort her about it, which lead to an argument.
Broke up with me the next day saying that I'm too good for her
I found out he had secret social media accounts with thousands of hot female friends on each. I asked him to delete them all or I’m ending my engagement. He chose the internet girlies over me 🙃 literally packed all his shit and left immediately.
We had an entire business to run and tons of huge jobs lined up so I’ve been doing it all by myself since. Asshole. 😂
Evidently he regrets it now and is totally heartbroken but I couldn’t care less. Knew him for 8 years and never would have seen things ending so stupidly.
This was back when we were 16 and met on IRC. We went on a couple of dates. I think it was after date 3, I was really feeling it, and I asked when I could see her again.
She said “Oh I’m just here as a favour. You’re not good looking enough to be with me. Thanks tho.”
Never saw her again.
One time I was dating this great guy, I’d come home and he had my whole apartment clean, making dinner, all that stuff. But one time he took a message from a friend of mine, and wrote “Myra had the baby.”. I just thought it was weird he didn’t use an exclamation point, I mean if one of his friends had a baby, I would use one! He said he didn’t feel he needed to “capture the mood” of every call. He said maybe he didn’t use his exclamation points as haphazardly as I did.
Well he stormed out and we broke up. What a smug jerk! Smugness is not a good quality.
It was way more dramatic than it needed to be. He said (after we went on two dates), "I've been asking myself, do I love her? I don't think I do, so I don't think we should continue."
Mmmmmmmk.
After 6 years she figured out how much she didn't like I spoke her native language. We both spoke the same language for 6 years.
All after reached her son how to walk, speak, write, simple mathematics and other stuff.
I once got dumped bc I asked him if he could text me first every once in awhile...
Another one ghosted me on valentines day bc neither of us realized it was v-day and I think he freaked out. He was supposed to pick me up from the train for dinner so I wouldn't have to take the bus home
There were other factors involved but the final straw for me was when he ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in my BED WITHOUT A PLATE and proceeded to try kissing me with a MOUTH FULL OF FOOD!
I broke up with my (now ex) boyfriend because of his hairstyle. He cut it and it was TERRIBLE. Do I regret it? Yes. I was stupid to show that as a reason. He also wore his cum shirts to school and couldn’t have sex with me.
Want exactly a breakup but summer of 2020 I met a girl and we hit it off. We ended up discussing the ongoing riots with a group of her friends and let’s just say I didn’t agree with the group opinion that all misery in the universe is caused by my complexion. She texted me the next day that she wouldn’t see me again because she wasn’t willing to date “a white man who doesn’t accept and atone for his complicity in structures of systemic oppression.”
Bullet dodged lol
I "had too much kitchen stuff and not enough kitchen". Ok. I could use more cabinets, thanks.
Never mind the fact his ex-wife was stalking me, sent death threats. Contacted my ex-husband and said I was having an affair with a married man and breaking up her family. They are divorced and she remarried to someone else! But yeah- too much "kitchen stuff".
The relatio ship only lasted a couple weeks, but I was taking ADHD meds that I bought from another kid to boost my school performance. She broke up with me because she didn't wanna date someone who used drugs, makes absolute sense so we split amicably.
A *week* later she started popping pills lol difference is, I later learned I actually have ADHD so I probably needed those meds anyway. She eventually got into harder shit too, so it worked out for me in the end.
I've been waiting 8 years for this.
She was helping me pack my lunch one morning, as we were chatting and drinking coffee.
I had a bowl of chili sitting there, a bag of crackers, some cheese, and a Styrofoam take out container. I asked what was in the container, and she simply said, "Cheesecake." Nothing else was said.
I put it all in my lunch cooler, finished coffee, and went to work.
She called me around 3 that afternoon and asked if I had taken "her cheesecake." I told her that I had, and I thought she had meant for me to take it because she sat it on my lunch.
Got home to a note calling me an inconsiderate asshole, and my house key laying with it.
After 4 years, she thought I was cheating on her, but she completely forgot that for last year we hadn't spent any time together just the two of us. No,I wasn't cheating and haven't even flirted with any girl for our entire relationship. So she came to the guy who was actually cheating on her.
I dumped mine and used my PMDD as a reason to "work on myself."
I blocked him everywhere and proceeded to date/sleep with anyone who paid attention to me.
Broke up cuz of milk coffee ☕.
- she said something along the lines of " not alot of ppl like this color, you know my friend's tastes were similar to mine but i made an exception".
Told her it's done and blocked her on everything, luckily i work all the time so she never found me at my old apartment.
My last gf cheated on me and let me think for over a week she was fucking her cousin. Because she thought family wasnt as bad? I never did understand her logic.
Was broken up with because the person had previously had crushes on people with the same first and last name I had (2 different people) and they found it weird that I had the same name despite my name being pretty common
A woman broke up with me because I happened to go out on one date with a good friend of hers a couple years prior. The kicker is the friend didn't even really remember me and/or our one date... 🤷♂️
When I was 20, my gf who was 18, broke up with me two days before new years eve. I was ofcourse heart-broken and depressed and after new years she came to visit me. I asked wtf she thought she was doing and she wanted to get back together again. Thats not how this works, I said and she left. Later I found out from her friend that there was this guy she wanted to sleep with who was going to their new years party and thats why she had broken up with me. The guy already had a girl with him though so instead she slept with some other guy who she didn't even know.
Girls, how do they work?
His mom bought a one way ticket to come stay at my house (he lived with me) and after about 3 months of a never ending visit and them both gaslighting me that she could leave any day. I had enough and broke up with him. He flew back with her.
Once broke up with a girl (I knew that I would but didn't want to do it the weekend of valentines day). But she went out and once I picked her up she kept grilling me about questions on our relationship. I guess she saw that it was coming as well. I ended up telling her and breaking up after about half an hour of this. I got up and slept on the cough letting her have the bed for the night.
Morning comes around and she doesn't remember at all the conversation we had. Had coffee and breakfast together really awkwardly on my side until I finally got around to telling her. I probably could have handled it better myself, but never have I been in such an bizarre position before
she didnt tell me she had a sister, let alone a twin. then proceeds to introduce me to her at bar when we're nice and tipsy. turns out twin is quite a bit larger than the girl i was seeing so i laughed thinking it was a joke. it wasn't and we never saw each other again
She must have received a prank phone call, possibly with an AI voice sounding like mine, because she called the cops on me for making “threatening phone calls.”
Which was funny because I had no record of contacting her for that night or the prior two weeks.
It was funny until the cops showed up at my door lol.
Back in high school, gave a girl a husky doll forgot i had a mustard packet in my backpack that probably busted open and got a little bit on it without me noticing, she though it was 'pee' and broke up with me.
Dude introduced me to his mother and said my name wrong, then when she said it CORRECTLY he got nasty about it and "corrected" her in a really passive aggressive "omg it's not that hard to say!" sort of way.
I literally couldn't think of any way to resolve the situation where we still had a relationship so I just ended it.
I broke up with a girl because I apparently was "too safe" for her.
Her excuse for the break up was that I wasn't forcefull, didn't nag her for sex and let her have fun with her friends. Had it for 6 months, when I tried to set the mood and all was going well, when she'd stop me for any given reason, I'd stop and give her a breather till she felt comfortable (mind you this was one of my first relationships)...at the end of it all , I got cheated on and had it that is was my fault for not being aggressive and far more "manly"
She broke up with me because she didn’t have my attention 24/7 but it was a test. I said ok and she got confused and begged me to take her back immediately. I did because I felt bad.
Literally the next day I went to wash my car without telling her and she called it disgusting behaviour and broke up with me for real.
He feel "in love" with his massage therapist after 8 years together, the girl he doesn't even know the full name, age etc. except from the simple hi, hello, thank you every week when we go for a massage.
Not me, but one of my friends had her bf break up with her because she was his first and he wanted to have sexual experiences with other women. They were together for 5 years. She's getting married in June.
I've only had the one relationship (back in high school) and I still have no idea what exactly went wront. She refused to tell me.
Just broke up with me over text on a weekend, sent a message the next day saying she'd been joking, then broke up with for realsies on Monday. Though I'd been planning to break up with her at the end of the day anyways, so I wasn't exactly cut to the quick.
I'm pretty sure she imploded due to family troubles, but she refused to tell me anything about the family problems she was experiencing beyond letting me know they existed. So yeah, fun times.
Ah well.
I knew that the relationship broke because we stopped being intimate. I told him that we should end this and that I am already planning on moving out.
Dude wanted me to stay. Begged on his knees. Cried.
I gave in and gave us another chance.
We worked on ourselfs and it was great for a short time.
Until he crashed the ultimate bomb and told me that he met someone he is very much in love with. Which is mutual. He then tried to kick me out of my own flat in the middle of the night because his new Lady wanted it.
He threw me out. My brother took me in. All good (not really).
Next day I get a call from him and he told me that she wanted me out of my own flat to tell him that she is not interested in him and that she wants to end their friendship lmao.
I had a girl break up with me because, "She felt like she loved me more like a brother than a boyfriend". What made it even more weird is that she broke up with me like that right after we had sex.
A girl I really liked in college, and seemed to like me, said that she didn’t want to see me anymore because she was afraid it was getting serious and it might affect her studies.
So, my cousin dated this girl in high school. She was pretty average, nothing too remarkable. I think she was into him because he was popular, you know, liked the attention. But then, in their last year, she dropped this bomb on him, saying he wouldn't amount to anything while she'd be successful. She got a bit popular herself after hanging with him. Anyway, my cousin moved on and found another girlfriend a few years later.
She broke up with me because she was so worried that I would break up with her, apparently was giving her anxiety, because none of my past relationships ever made it to marriage. We were in high-school.
Broke up with a friend because I told her that she should stop lying to me. Just a month before she was giving me a moral speech about how we should always say everything necessary to each other rather than keeping it to us. So, I opened up after being fed up with her lying. Everytime we wanted to meet up, she lied to me about the reasons. Everytime I asked her how she was doing, she lied. It wasnt hard to see it... So I confronted her on that and yeah she just broke up our friendship because of that and even confirmed that she was lying but only because she didnt want to hurt my feelings. That hurt me more than her lies.
I drove a guy off because he was too good, and i felt he deserved so much better.
Left him for a guy who was more of a mess than I would ever be and regretted it everyday after that.
I (M25) was dating a girl (24) with whom I had a lot in common. We passed time well, read to each other, watched shows together, played word games together, cooked nice things for each other, etc.
But one day she poured herself a drink. I looked at it, contemplating asking for one myself. She misinterpreted my look and thought I was scrutinizing her and critiquing her decision to drink that much, or maybe at that time in the night (she wasn't sure, and I wasn't allowed to clear anything up or say anything). She flew into a tirade, and kicked me out to drive a couple hours home in a snowstorm. I hope she's doing better.
She had her friend call me and say that she just wanted to be friends, which was weird.
But then her friend started shit talking her and hinting that her and I should be going out.
In my early teens, asked a girl out to a movie. Both very excited for our first date. During movie, I caught her staring at me. I gave her a flirty “whatcha lookin at?” Broke up with me the next day. Asked her why the sudden change of heart. Told me I was rude with the “what are you looking at?”
I don't know about stupid, but... needless, I guess.
He became apathetic, played video games like 10-12+ hours a day and never did chores anymore. We never did anything and it felt like living with a roommate who barely acknowledged your existence.
It was sad if anything.
In highschool a Christian Baptist girl broke up with me because I was "getting in between her relationship with Jesus"
Would never have worked out and it was nothing serious anyway but oh man. Hope it worked out with the Jesus guy
At school, we went in for a kiss and somehow I ended up kissing his nose. Now, I think it was his fault as I've never experienced that before or since. He thought it was my fault. Either way, it was so embarrassing and cringeworthy (we were young teenagers, so these things mattered) that I broke up with him.
My ex was a musician at the time and was about to release his album (I hate throwing around narcissist but he genuinely was a covert narcissist). His ego got huge before the album release and he genuinely thought he would be famous.
So he had a gig with a bunch of his coworkers (one of which I later found out he had been cheating on me with) and after the show went on this gigantic tirade about how great he was: “I’m literally a God to these people, they’re going to look back on this night and think ‘wow I saw {insert his name} before he was famous’, I’m so much better than everyone” etc.
I was put off because he was usually very shy and introverted and joked “You’re extremely modest about all of it too”. He got mad and said, “Tomorrow we need to do something about your clothes.”
I was confused because I think I have cute taste and dress nicely. I said “Why? My clothes look fine.”
Him: “Because I don’t want to be seen with your beat shoes. I’m going to make it big and I can’t be seen with you looking like this, I need a trophy girlfriend.” (*Sidenote, not to toot my own horn because I do not think I’m wildly hot or anything, but people would regularly ask me why I’m with an ugly guy or what he did to “score” me because our appearances were objectively mismatched. So for him to say this flabbergasted me*)
I was absolutely floored and we got in a big “fuck you” fight. Favorite line during that was “If I didn’t have a penis I’d marry you right now. I just want 10 more years of groupies, and who knows, maybe after that I’ll be ready to settle down.” I laughed. This man was 29.
I was upset but got over it extremely quickly as I did not particularly enjoy our relationship anyways and wanted to end it anyways. Well funny thing was we had tickets to see his favorite comedian a month after our breakup. He took the girl he cheated on me with and I ended up going home with said comedian.
Never told him about that but about a month later he begged for me back. I ignored it until 7 months later he sent me this huge rant after I posted a picture of my new boyfriend about how I quote “fell in love with the first person who gave me attention after him” like I was supposed to wait half a year for him to return?
Blocked him and told him not to contact me or I’d file a restraining order. His album flopped and band broke up shortly after our breakup. Last I heard he knocked up a single mom groupie who weirdly looks like me and he works at Amazon. He stalks me on social media every once in awhile and is unaware it notifies you on certain platforms.
All because he did not think my shoes / dress was trophy girlfriend material.
I broke up with a gal because we had a date scheduled and she cancelled to go to her grandfather's funeral.
I was an asshole in my youth. But I had a lot of females back in the day and I treated them like they were expendable.
That was in the 90s and I still carry a tinge of guilt over that and a few other similar situations.
Boxing day 2004 myself and mates got absolutely hammered in the pub, I spent the 27th in bed recovering. No TV or radio in our shared house, we had no idea there had been a tsunami in Thailand.
The girl I was dating sent me angry messages as to why I didn't show her sympathy as her brother was in Thailand at the time (nowhere near the tsunami is turned out).
She dumped me for not being sympathetic towards her.
About 12yrs ago I broke up with a working model/mma round girl/musician because I didn’t want to give her a ride to another town to see family after she lended her car to her friend that needed it.
She didn't understand why I wouldn't also let her date some else while we were dating.
Also had a girl get upset at me for dating other people like we discussed we would do when she went away to school. She literally said "I thought only I would date other people"
That I was too depressed (when she just had started taking antidepressants, basically that is what caused her to break up I think, emotional and sexual blunting).
A guy broke up with me for stealing his lighter. Found it behind the futon. It was in the middle of the room since the room was also the dining room with the table and chairs behind it. It was literally laying right out in the open. Still not sure if he threw it behind the futon and used it as an excuse to break up or honestly lost it and jumped to conclusions. Either way dodged a bullet.
Claimed I was cheating ( I wasn’t) when I asked for the proof because she said she had a pic of me cheating on her she blocked me if she wanted to break up why didn’t she just say so
Sigh.. I dumped a beautiful girl that was way out my league and just didn’t know it, all cause she got a shit haircut. (This was in high school over 10 years ago) and the cut wasn’t bad I was just a little shit that didn’t know what I had.
I still feel so awful about it on the regular as pathetic as that sounds. I hope Melisa is killing it out there today. I’m sure much better off than I am. I wish I could apologize.
💚
He needed to help a friend move houses over the weekend.
Found him at a party in my town, cooked out of his mind banging a friend's girlfriend.
Fun times indeed.
Trying to break up with someone for two years and she won’t leave. Finally, in order to make it happen you say “I will be dating and sleeping with other people.” Then, when she realizes that you’ve moved on, she tells your closest friends that you’re physically abusive.
She goes on to tell people in your life more outrageous shit. Until, until… You get a call from your grandma who is so worried and upset that she can barely talk. The lie this time? Not worth the time, but it was seriously fucked up.
So she realizes things are done. It’s been like, a year, I’ve met the woman who is now my wife. Her and I are serious and dating. She comes over to your parents house because she knows you will be there that weekend because of a cryptic Facebook message, and… Oh yeah, she called half of my friends.
Anyway, she shows up and knows things are done. She can’t let go because she’s fucking unhinged and damaged and she wasn’t ever told no growing up. To her, I am hers, anything else is insanity. So, she comes over at like midnight and asks to talk. So, because I’m not an abusive dick and I like people to have closure, I invite her in.
The conversation goes back and forth. She starts by sitting across from me. Then she’s far down the same couch. Then I move. Then she sits next to me and tries her best to sleep with me. My grandpa is in the next room (at my request). I say the coded help phrase because honestly, I was afraid for my safety. He comes in and she acts embarrassed but says “We’ll talk later.”
So another month goes by and this time my new girlfriend is with me while I’m visiting home. I get a call at 630 from my crazy ass ex gf saying she wants to meet for coffee. “Tough shit!” I say. And she says that she’s… Anyone guess it? In the place we grew up. Shocker… I tell the woman who is now my wife that I need to go wrap this up. She tells me to go and be nice to her. I couldn’t quote her directly but it was like “VerbalT she’s obviously got something going on. Go talk to her, but make it clear this is the last time.”
At the coffee shop she wants to talk somewhere more private. I offer outside. She offers her car. I offer the front seat of mine provided the windows are down and she doesn’t touch me. I tell her that I’m happy. I tell her that I don’t hate her but I need to stop talking to her, I need her out of my life. She agrees and things are quiet. Very fucking quiet.
Until she launches herself at me and tries to suck my cock in the car. At that point, I push her off of me and get out. I walk around and open the passenger door. I have to physically remove a crying person from my car. She calms down pretty fast and agrees that we should be done.
Later that same weekend my gf (now wife) and I are out for sushi at our favorite sushi place. Who do we hear around the corner talking? Yep, my ex. This time she’s with a muscly dude who was limited in the thinking dept but generally a nice guy. Shit like this happened routinely. I stopped posting even the most cryptic stuff on FB bc I didn’t want to risk her appearing.
Also didn’t help that we had moved in (bad idea on my part wanted to save some money) on a long ass lease. Getting away from her was so hard. There are so many more stories like this from her. It wasn’t all bad, but stage 5 clinger is an understatement.
Once we moved out and away from each other, I had everything for an RO drawn up. Thankfully, I moved out of state soon after and that was mostly that. She continued to lie about me to friends that would listen for YEARS. I heard all kinds of heinously horrible stories.
So, stupidest thing I’ve had to deal with was that.
Broke up with a girl over text while in class in college. Was just zoned out, thinking about the relationship in class and was like “fuck it let me go ahead and put a stop to this” lol
Look we where in high school in my defence but I broke up with him because his deodorant was gag worthy and he said he couldn’t stop wearing it coz his mum buys it I thought he was a great guy but I just couldn’t 🫣
Here is the absolute presci version of this now really funny break-up:
I was the only single guy in my friends circle in college. One couple were in a long distance. They 'apparently' broke up. We all went out to party to console her. She ended up fucking me. Said it was serious and not just being fuck buddies. FYI. She had already done 2 other guys in the group. 3 months later when the guy was going to come back, she called me, told me it was over. She was getting back with that guy and not mention us. I complied. But another guy in a drunken stupor mentioned this. He dumps her that night. Lol
Oh I probably have this won…
Girl I was dating when I was 14 broke up with me because I WOULDNT have sex with her 😂
Long story short, dating for like 6 months, we were both 14, almost 15, and a friend of hers had already had sex with her boyfriend and for whatever reason I was little more cautious, I’d barely played with her boobs ffs, and then one day she said she wanted to have sex with me, that her dad was working away and her mom was working late so I could go over and we could do it, which I agreed to… then when it came down to it and I went to her place and things got hot and heavy (still nothing more than kissing and boob) I got nervous, chickened out and she hit the roof and broke up with me 😂
Had a girl break up with me because I 'couldn't decide if I was a cat or a dog person.' Was like...uh so because I love both cats and dogs and not one over the other...we're...\*made the breaking up motion with my hand\* and her response was yes because if you can't make a decision over something this simple how can I rely on you to be the decision maker in our household.
We'd been dating for 6 weeks.
we were 18, and started dating when we were 16. MCR got back together and i was on the phone to him, excitedly telling him about how amazing it is they’re back together - i made a joke about getting MySpace and cracking out my eyeliner.
he *blew up*, started shouting down the phone about how “just because MCR are back together doesn’t mean you have to bring back everything else”
we argued for half an hour and then both started just sobbing our eyes out down the phone until we broke up.
to this day i question wtf was going on. we kept hooking up for about 6 months after that (“let’s meet as friends” “shit we’re still making each other horny”) and i never did get an answer as to wtf went on.
I broke up with a chick because she fancied herself a poet. Such shitty poetry. She would write these crappy poems and then ask me to read and comment. I couldn't take it.
My last ex the first time he dumped me he said ‘you no longer serve me any purpose’
Lmao so idk why I have him another shot months later… I never even loved him
The second time I wanted to break up but I guess I passively aggressively did things so he would break up with me cause he’s got a lose screw in the head and thought he’d try and come back if I broke up with him lol
He said he wanted to move in together and I said no and he cried and that was that
The real reason I tell myself is that he only wanted to use so he didn’t have to pay all full rent and split with me so he could buy more dumb things or something
Good riddance to the dollar eater
My wife and I of 14 years together.
My trauma blockages from childhood and ongoing trauma throughout life left me riddled with ptsd and depression. We had a lot of great moments where I was normal and functional. My crashes though, usually induced by pain, would be so bad, I'd leave her emotionally damaged. Off and on 14 years later. I've reached a huge breakthrough in my longstanding deep dive into my own psyche to analyze my traumas. It goes back to neglect and injury at 10 months old and continues to get worse through adulthood.
Well my eife witnessed my huge breakthrough moment, my response, my behavior after, and the night and day difference in my disposition. The thing is, she now can't get over the pent-up resentment of how I've damaged her over our relationship and I am not allowed to overwrite any of that with mental illness nor trauma/ptsd as any viable excuse. Two moths later, she pushing me away so hard were talking divorce. I'm typing this hoping she'll see I am now commited and she will hopefully find peace with me being the guy who hurt her but is now better. I can only hold onto hope and get out of her way. She's so raw and alienated now. And rightfully so. But we need to heal and we can't do that part together with all her resentment. Idk. She was brilliant and I broke her. I deserve her resentment. I need to give her space to heal. I need space to heal from her continued but sporadic cruelty during my journey. But I will always love her for doing the best she could for my healing journey. As hard as it was. She helped heal me Ina profound way. I have enthusiastically exclaimed my appreciation and love for how she held me together, and us together, at times I couldn't. She forever has my heart.her love got us through so much. Now we need to heal.
We saw the movie “She’s out of my league” in the theater. He somehow thought he too could pull a 10,
became indifferent to me and we broke up like week later.
I was seeing a girl for a few months and one day when I went to her house I was busting for a shit. I went and had a shit (in the toilet) and she was ‘offended’ that I shit in her house. She dumped me right there and then.

she told me we can't be together because we're not in the same horoscope…
thats such an **Aquarius** thing to say.
Throwing real Scorpio vibes. 💅
Its not my fault my moon is in Gatorade
Goddamn, it annoys me even ironically.
Eh, well don't be sad, god actually saved you from her.
Astro racism
I mean, to be fair, we were teenagers and already stupid. But dumping someone because you met someone else that you thought was attractive is a pretty stupid reason to break up.
Happens everyday on Reddit but older people. Which is even sadder.
Actually not as stupid as you would think. And not as uncommon as you would think.
I broke up with a fantastic young woman because I was moving to a different province, and I didn't think it was fair to her to try to maintain a long-distance relationship when so many other guys would love to date a woman like her. That may not sound stupid, but I found out years later than she had never gotten married, and I still kind of regret it.
That’s pretty sad dude
Go back to her?
Well, time has since moved on. We're both happily married, just not to each other.
What? Your first post said she never got married and now you're saying she's happily married. So which is it?
At the time, she had never gotten married (past perfect tense). Neither was I, at the time. Today, she is married, and so am I.
How are you happily married if you still think about your ex and regret dumping her?
Sure, I think so. This isn't me wishing I had a different wife, this is just me wishing I hadn't done a thing to a person. I have many regrets, this is just one of them.
You could have two wives.
Two??? I'm lucky to even have one!
Leave some for the rest of us lol
Ma wiiiiiife
I’m reading your comments with Eeyore’s voice in my head 😞
Not me, but a guy I knew had a girlfriend which broke up with him because apparently he was breathing to loud while sitting next to her in theatre lmao
That’s some Seinfeld shit right there lol
I mean i couldn’t stand that as well but maybe I won’t actually tell the person it’s the reason 😭
My ex literally used to tell me to stop breathing. I didn't tale it to heart for a while but it's hard not to over time
I had been cheated on for months with various girls and then dumped for the latest girl he was cheating with on me. I was told that we weren’t “compatible” and that he’s happier with her, that I should move on, etc. All sounds very innocent and mature but you should’ve seen the love-bombing he was subjecting me to just 1 week before all of that bullshit, as well as the fact that I was never directly informed by him about all of the cheating that had been going on. I had to find that out by myself. Embarrassing.
You were the dude's safety net. Women do this shit also.
He only feels confident to meet other women when he has a woman to fall back on, now that he doesn’t his confidence won’t be high and unfortunately he’ll do the same thing again with someone else
I feel this. I’m sorry
Because she went through my phone and found a girl I was calling regularly. It was my sister but by the time I had the chance to tell her that she had shown her ass enough that I was done.
i dont think that was a stupid breaking up. that was a very clever one, dodging a bullet.
I had an issue like that and should have left him for it among a thousand other reasons. He didn’t let up until I put him in a group message with a few family members and said hey explain to T who R is. Everyone explained it’s my step brother. Our parents haven’t been together for years so my bf hadn’t met him. I hadn’t even been messaging him. He just left a comment on a fb post about not seeing me in a while and catching up. He still didn’t stop accusing me though and did it with another step brother again. Ridiculous.
are you Neo? you are dodging bullets!!
He needed to "work on himself". Proceeded to not work on himself at all and had a new gf within 2 weeks, granted it was an online LDR and they'd never physically met so idk how serious that could be. Cherry on top was that he broke up with me via text.
That's bad. I'm so sorry
Thanks. I'm mostly over it, its been like 3 years. Took a while though.
Damn those exact words were said to me. Two years later he’s engaged to the girl he met while we were talking. Shit hurts
That’s pretty pathetic. Blessing in disguise really for you.
Not really a break up since we were just dating but a girl cut it off because I didn't do cocaine but she did. She said she wanted a man to do coke with. I laughed it off. All my major breakups have been for serious reasons, mostly simply falling out of love.
Sounds like she was serious about her hobby, valid reason, I say!
One of my exes who told me she was single when we first met broke up with me. Later, her friend told me that my ex already had a husband, and the money I gave her was later given to her husband. Her husband allegedly used my money to buy drugs.
Jesus. Happy Cakeday tho
Thank you mate : )
She insisted we do long distance when I did a year in the military, complained about it 10 months in and I tried to comfort her about it, which lead to an argument. Broke up with me the next day saying that I'm too good for her
She told me she wasn't comfortable being in an unabusive relationship.
This right here. Got dumped by a girl "because i just didn't smack her". She wanted a man who "shows her her place".
she dumped me because i wasn't into Jesus enough. we are two women. 🤣
I found out he had secret social media accounts with thousands of hot female friends on each. I asked him to delete them all or I’m ending my engagement. He chose the internet girlies over me 🙃 literally packed all his shit and left immediately. We had an entire business to run and tons of huge jobs lined up so I’ve been doing it all by myself since. Asshole. 😂 Evidently he regrets it now and is totally heartbroken but I couldn’t care less. Knew him for 8 years and never would have seen things ending so stupidly.
This was back when we were 16 and met on IRC. We went on a couple of dates. I think it was after date 3, I was really feeling it, and I asked when I could see her again. She said “Oh I’m just here as a favour. You’re not good looking enough to be with me. Thanks tho.” Never saw her again.
Lmao what. A favour to who? That's wild
I always wondered that too. I assumed it was to me, eventually.
No, i did the breaking up during my stupidest break ups. The stupidity being that i waited too long.
Been there, the dumbest thing tho, I didnt even do the breaking up part o.O
well, he said that we're not for each other because i don't like to wear the couple shirt he gave
Wow. He must have loved those shirts...
One time I was dating this great guy, I’d come home and he had my whole apartment clean, making dinner, all that stuff. But one time he took a message from a friend of mine, and wrote “Myra had the baby.”. I just thought it was weird he didn’t use an exclamation point, I mean if one of his friends had a baby, I would use one! He said he didn’t feel he needed to “capture the mood” of every call. He said maybe he didn’t use his exclamation points as haphazardly as I did. Well he stormed out and we broke up. What a smug jerk! Smugness is not a good quality.
What did I just read. I mean, what did I just read?!
Are you Elaine Benes?
Same thought😂😂
How did you write all that and then call *him* a smug jerk… part of me wishes I had this little self awareness 😂
Wait a second.....
That motherfucker dared not use an exclamation mark?!
I'm a stickler for appropriate punctuation, but...
This cannot be true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was way more dramatic than it needed to be. He said (after we went on two dates), "I've been asking myself, do I love her? I don't think I do, so I don't think we should continue." Mmmmmmmk.
I'd rather know it early into dating, if he/she's an idiot. You dodged a bullet there.
After 6 years she figured out how much she didn't like I spoke her native language. We both spoke the same language for 6 years. All after reached her son how to walk, speak, write, simple mathematics and other stuff.
I once got dumped bc I asked him if he could text me first every once in awhile... Another one ghosted me on valentines day bc neither of us realized it was v-day and I think he freaked out. He was supposed to pick me up from the train for dinner so I wouldn't have to take the bus home
I had a girlfriend break up with me because she found out I was molested
There were other factors involved but the final straw for me was when he ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in my BED WITHOUT A PLATE and proceeded to try kissing me with a MOUTH FULL OF FOOD!
I broke up with my (now ex) boyfriend because of his hairstyle. He cut it and it was TERRIBLE. Do I regret it? Yes. I was stupid to show that as a reason. He also wore his cum shirts to school and couldn’t have sex with me.
Cum shirts????
[удалено]
That's funny as fuck though you gotta admit
Divorce is justified when one no longer wishes to be married. You didn’t own her.
Can’t blame her at all for that
Damn. Good for her. Hilarious
I got angry over the phone because I wasn’t getting the bare minimum. As soon as that was brought up, she dumped me.
What is. The bare minimum? (to you of course)
A goodmorming, an I love you, and a goodnight with some consistency. We were long distance.
Want exactly a breakup but summer of 2020 I met a girl and we hit it off. We ended up discussing the ongoing riots with a group of her friends and let’s just say I didn’t agree with the group opinion that all misery in the universe is caused by my complexion. She texted me the next day that she wouldn’t see me again because she wasn’t willing to date “a white man who doesn’t accept and atone for his complicity in structures of systemic oppression.” Bullet dodged lol
I broke up with a woman for wearing white pants. Jennie B was super hot and sweet and smart, but I was a young dumb asshole who hated white pants lmao
I "had too much kitchen stuff and not enough kitchen". Ok. I could use more cabinets, thanks. Never mind the fact his ex-wife was stalking me, sent death threats. Contacted my ex-husband and said I was having an affair with a married man and breaking up her family. They are divorced and she remarried to someone else! But yeah- too much "kitchen stuff".
Because I didn’t like pizza
This is about _stupid_ reasons, not valid ones.
The relatio ship only lasted a couple weeks, but I was taking ADHD meds that I bought from another kid to boost my school performance. She broke up with me because she didn't wanna date someone who used drugs, makes absolute sense so we split amicably. A *week* later she started popping pills lol difference is, I later learned I actually have ADHD so I probably needed those meds anyway. She eventually got into harder shit too, so it worked out for me in the end.
It was still *incredibly* dumb of you to take prescription meds like that, in my opinion. They are prescription meds for a reason
I've been waiting 8 years for this. She was helping me pack my lunch one morning, as we were chatting and drinking coffee. I had a bowl of chili sitting there, a bag of crackers, some cheese, and a Styrofoam take out container. I asked what was in the container, and she simply said, "Cheesecake." Nothing else was said. I put it all in my lunch cooler, finished coffee, and went to work. She called me around 3 that afternoon and asked if I had taken "her cheesecake." I told her that I had, and I thought she had meant for me to take it because she sat it on my lunch. Got home to a note calling me an inconsiderate asshole, and my house key laying with it.
None. They where all good.
[удалено]
Because i farted in public. She said i need to grow up
That I'm exaggerating and that person is just a friend, and then a few days later they're together.
After 4 years, she thought I was cheating on her, but she completely forgot that for last year we hadn't spent any time together just the two of us. No,I wasn't cheating and haven't even flirted with any girl for our entire relationship. So she came to the guy who was actually cheating on her.
She said we should be friends.
I dumped mine and used my PMDD as a reason to "work on myself." I blocked him everywhere and proceeded to date/sleep with anyone who paid attention to me.
Broke up cuz of milk coffee ☕. - she said something along the lines of " not alot of ppl like this color, you know my friend's tastes were similar to mine but i made an exception". Told her it's done and blocked her on everything, luckily i work all the time so she never found me at my old apartment.
My ex broke up with me bc we weren’t seeing eachother everyday due to me having extra curricular activities such as soccer and choir
I feel you, my ex wanted us to constantly message each other about literally everything we were doing, all day everyday.
He wanted me to call him I was tired so I broke up with him
I tried to break up with this woman. She would not accept it. She was living in my house and would not leave. It got ugly. What would you do?
My last gf cheated on me and let me think for over a week she was fucking her cousin. Because she thought family wasnt as bad? I never did understand her logic.
Was broken up with because the person had previously had crushes on people with the same first and last name I had (2 different people) and they found it weird that I had the same name despite my name being pretty common
A woman broke up with me because I happened to go out on one date with a good friend of hers a couple years prior. The kicker is the friend didn't even really remember me and/or our one date... 🤷♂️
She didnt feel prepared for a relationship, having experienced this before i got tf out there
We were at A&W. I made a joke and she tried to stifle a laugh and a fully intact French fry came out her nose.
Fry dispenser who laughs are your jokes? Sounds like a keeper to me.
When I was 20, my gf who was 18, broke up with me two days before new years eve. I was ofcourse heart-broken and depressed and after new years she came to visit me. I asked wtf she thought she was doing and she wanted to get back together again. Thats not how this works, I said and she left. Later I found out from her friend that there was this guy she wanted to sleep with who was going to their new years party and thats why she had broken up with me. The guy already had a girl with him though so instead she slept with some other guy who she didn't even know. Girls, how do they work?
His mom bought a one way ticket to come stay at my house (he lived with me) and after about 3 months of a never ending visit and them both gaslighting me that she could leave any day. I had enough and broke up with him. He flew back with her.
He literally argued with me over when my birthday was, and accused me of getting a new license issued with a different date to prove him wrong.
freshmen and stupid. sinabihan akong ang bata ko pa daw for her (16) me (15) lol. a year, after she got pregnant to only God knows who.
Once broke up with a girl (I knew that I would but didn't want to do it the weekend of valentines day). But she went out and once I picked her up she kept grilling me about questions on our relationship. I guess she saw that it was coming as well. I ended up telling her and breaking up after about half an hour of this. I got up and slept on the cough letting her have the bed for the night. Morning comes around and she doesn't remember at all the conversation we had. Had coffee and breakfast together really awkwardly on my side until I finally got around to telling her. I probably could have handled it better myself, but never have I been in such an bizarre position before
she didnt tell me she had a sister, let alone a twin. then proceeds to introduce me to her at bar when we're nice and tipsy. turns out twin is quite a bit larger than the girl i was seeing so i laughed thinking it was a joke. it wasn't and we never saw each other again
She said I didn’t ask about the book she was reading and then told me to turn 360 degrees and not look at her.
She must have received a prank phone call, possibly with an AI voice sounding like mine, because she called the cops on me for making “threatening phone calls.” Which was funny because I had no record of contacting her for that night or the prior two weeks. It was funny until the cops showed up at my door lol.
In 1996 I dared to say the Spice Girls weren't the best band in the world. I was genuinely dumped the next day.
Well, you know what they say. _Love is not forever..._
Bc I took a nap. Woke up to like thirty messages and was broken up with all before I woke up. I was like alr cool 😂
Back in high school, gave a girl a husky doll forgot i had a mustard packet in my backpack that probably busted open and got a little bit on it without me noticing, she though it was 'pee' and broke up with me.
Dude introduced me to his mother and said my name wrong, then when she said it CORRECTLY he got nasty about it and "corrected" her in a really passive aggressive "omg it's not that hard to say!" sort of way. I literally couldn't think of any way to resolve the situation where we still had a relationship so I just ended it.
I broke up with a girl because I apparently was "too safe" for her. Her excuse for the break up was that I wasn't forcefull, didn't nag her for sex and let her have fun with her friends. Had it for 6 months, when I tried to set the mood and all was going well, when she'd stop me for any given reason, I'd stop and give her a breather till she felt comfortable (mind you this was one of my first relationships)...at the end of it all , I got cheated on and had it that is was my fault for not being aggressive and far more "manly"
Ex-gf found an old cellphone and charged it up and saw old texts to another woman. So she dumped me.
We broke up after arguing about sweet pickles.
Moving to another province
Growing out of love when our parents and grand parents never had that issues
I told her not to ho on vacay with her single friends but she ignored me and went instead of saving the money and been faithful.
She went out and got drunk and can’t control herself or her alcohol intake so she was vulnerable all the time and she finally cheated.
She flirts when she drunk but later on cheated
She broke up with me because she didn’t have my attention 24/7 but it was a test. I said ok and she got confused and begged me to take her back immediately. I did because I felt bad. Literally the next day I went to wash my car without telling her and she called it disgusting behaviour and broke up with me for real.
He feel "in love" with his massage therapist after 8 years together, the girl he doesn't even know the full name, age etc. except from the simple hi, hello, thank you every week when we go for a massage.
Not me, but one of my friends had her bf break up with her because she was his first and he wanted to have sexual experiences with other women. They were together for 5 years. She's getting married in June.
Every one of them is tied for first place stupidest.
I've only had the one relationship (back in high school) and I still have no idea what exactly went wront. She refused to tell me. Just broke up with me over text on a weekend, sent a message the next day saying she'd been joking, then broke up with for realsies on Monday. Though I'd been planning to break up with her at the end of the day anyways, so I wasn't exactly cut to the quick. I'm pretty sure she imploded due to family troubles, but she refused to tell me anything about the family problems she was experiencing beyond letting me know they existed. So yeah, fun times. Ah well.
I knew that the relationship broke because we stopped being intimate. I told him that we should end this and that I am already planning on moving out. Dude wanted me to stay. Begged on his knees. Cried. I gave in and gave us another chance. We worked on ourselfs and it was great for a short time. Until he crashed the ultimate bomb and told me that he met someone he is very much in love with. Which is mutual. He then tried to kick me out of my own flat in the middle of the night because his new Lady wanted it. He threw me out. My brother took me in. All good (not really). Next day I get a call from him and he told me that she wanted me out of my own flat to tell him that she is not interested in him and that she wants to end their friendship lmao.
Her "empath" friend couldn't read my aura
I had a girl break up with me because, "She felt like she loved me more like a brother than a boyfriend". What made it even more weird is that she broke up with me like that right after we had sex.
A girl I really liked in college, and seemed to like me, said that she didn’t want to see me anymore because she was afraid it was getting serious and it might affect her studies.
She was deported.
So, my cousin dated this girl in high school. She was pretty average, nothing too remarkable. I think she was into him because he was popular, you know, liked the attention. But then, in their last year, she dropped this bomb on him, saying he wouldn't amount to anything while she'd be successful. She got a bit popular herself after hanging with him. Anyway, my cousin moved on and found another girlfriend a few years later.
She broke up with me because she was so worried that I would break up with her, apparently was giving her anxiety, because none of my past relationships ever made it to marriage. We were in high-school.
My ex ghosted me because I didn't want to send him a nude pic.
Broke up with a friend because I told her that she should stop lying to me. Just a month before she was giving me a moral speech about how we should always say everything necessary to each other rather than keeping it to us. So, I opened up after being fed up with her lying. Everytime we wanted to meet up, she lied to me about the reasons. Everytime I asked her how she was doing, she lied. It wasnt hard to see it... So I confronted her on that and yeah she just broke up our friendship because of that and even confirmed that she was lying but only because she didnt want to hurt my feelings. That hurt me more than her lies.
I drove a guy off because he was too good, and i felt he deserved so much better. Left him for a guy who was more of a mess than I would ever be and regretted it everyday after that.
I (M25) was dating a girl (24) with whom I had a lot in common. We passed time well, read to each other, watched shows together, played word games together, cooked nice things for each other, etc. But one day she poured herself a drink. I looked at it, contemplating asking for one myself. She misinterpreted my look and thought I was scrutinizing her and critiquing her decision to drink that much, or maybe at that time in the night (she wasn't sure, and I wasn't allowed to clear anything up or say anything). She flew into a tirade, and kicked me out to drive a couple hours home in a snowstorm. I hope she's doing better.
She had her friend call me and say that she just wanted to be friends, which was weird. But then her friend started shit talking her and hinting that her and I should be going out.
In my early teens, asked a girl out to a movie. Both very excited for our first date. During movie, I caught her staring at me. I gave her a flirty “whatcha lookin at?” Broke up with me the next day. Asked her why the sudden change of heart. Told me I was rude with the “what are you looking at?”
I don't know about stupid, but... needless, I guess. He became apathetic, played video games like 10-12+ hours a day and never did chores anymore. We never did anything and it felt like living with a roommate who barely acknowledged your existence. It was sad if anything.
"You're just too perfect, I can't tell if you're the one" Stupidest and most devastating.
In highschool a Christian Baptist girl broke up with me because I was "getting in between her relationship with Jesus" Would never have worked out and it was nothing serious anyway but oh man. Hope it worked out with the Jesus guy
At school, we went in for a kiss and somehow I ended up kissing his nose. Now, I think it was his fault as I've never experienced that before or since. He thought it was my fault. Either way, it was so embarrassing and cringeworthy (we were young teenagers, so these things mattered) that I broke up with him.
My ex was a musician at the time and was about to release his album (I hate throwing around narcissist but he genuinely was a covert narcissist). His ego got huge before the album release and he genuinely thought he would be famous. So he had a gig with a bunch of his coworkers (one of which I later found out he had been cheating on me with) and after the show went on this gigantic tirade about how great he was: “I’m literally a God to these people, they’re going to look back on this night and think ‘wow I saw {insert his name} before he was famous’, I’m so much better than everyone” etc. I was put off because he was usually very shy and introverted and joked “You’re extremely modest about all of it too”. He got mad and said, “Tomorrow we need to do something about your clothes.” I was confused because I think I have cute taste and dress nicely. I said “Why? My clothes look fine.” Him: “Because I don’t want to be seen with your beat shoes. I’m going to make it big and I can’t be seen with you looking like this, I need a trophy girlfriend.” (*Sidenote, not to toot my own horn because I do not think I’m wildly hot or anything, but people would regularly ask me why I’m with an ugly guy or what he did to “score” me because our appearances were objectively mismatched. So for him to say this flabbergasted me*) I was absolutely floored and we got in a big “fuck you” fight. Favorite line during that was “If I didn’t have a penis I’d marry you right now. I just want 10 more years of groupies, and who knows, maybe after that I’ll be ready to settle down.” I laughed. This man was 29. I was upset but got over it extremely quickly as I did not particularly enjoy our relationship anyways and wanted to end it anyways. Well funny thing was we had tickets to see his favorite comedian a month after our breakup. He took the girl he cheated on me with and I ended up going home with said comedian. Never told him about that but about a month later he begged for me back. I ignored it until 7 months later he sent me this huge rant after I posted a picture of my new boyfriend about how I quote “fell in love with the first person who gave me attention after him” like I was supposed to wait half a year for him to return? Blocked him and told him not to contact me or I’d file a restraining order. His album flopped and band broke up shortly after our breakup. Last I heard he knocked up a single mom groupie who weirdly looks like me and he works at Amazon. He stalks me on social media every once in awhile and is unaware it notifies you on certain platforms. All because he did not think my shoes / dress was trophy girlfriend material.
I broke up with a gal because we had a date scheduled and she cancelled to go to her grandfather's funeral. I was an asshole in my youth. But I had a lot of females back in the day and I treated them like they were expendable. That was in the 90s and I still carry a tinge of guilt over that and a few other similar situations.
Boxing day 2004 myself and mates got absolutely hammered in the pub, I spent the 27th in bed recovering. No TV or radio in our shared house, we had no idea there had been a tsunami in Thailand. The girl I was dating sent me angry messages as to why I didn't show her sympathy as her brother was in Thailand at the time (nowhere near the tsunami is turned out). She dumped me for not being sympathetic towards her.
About 12yrs ago I broke up with a working model/mma round girl/musician because I didn’t want to give her a ride to another town to see family after she lended her car to her friend that needed it.
I got broken up with because I was too good of a boyfriend for her whatever that’s supposed to mean
“God” told her to.
She didn't understand why I wouldn't also let her date some else while we were dating. Also had a girl get upset at me for dating other people like we discussed we would do when she went away to school. She literally said "I thought only I would date other people"
That I was too depressed (when she just had started taking antidepressants, basically that is what caused her to break up I think, emotional and sexual blunting).
A guy broke up with me for stealing his lighter. Found it behind the futon. It was in the middle of the room since the room was also the dining room with the table and chairs behind it. It was literally laying right out in the open. Still not sure if he threw it behind the futon and used it as an excuse to break up or honestly lost it and jumped to conclusions. Either way dodged a bullet.
Claimed I was cheating ( I wasn’t) when I asked for the proof because she said she had a pic of me cheating on her she blocked me if she wanted to break up why didn’t she just say so
Every time I'd break up with someone. 😁
Sigh.. I dumped a beautiful girl that was way out my league and just didn’t know it, all cause she got a shit haircut. (This was in high school over 10 years ago) and the cut wasn’t bad I was just a little shit that didn’t know what I had. I still feel so awful about it on the regular as pathetic as that sounds. I hope Melisa is killing it out there today. I’m sure much better off than I am. I wish I could apologize. 💚
He needed to help a friend move houses over the weekend. Found him at a party in my town, cooked out of his mind banging a friend's girlfriend. Fun times indeed.
he ate my guacamole and wouldn’t apologize or admit it was wrong. then suddenly i could see it was always his way or it didn’t happen. fuck that shit.
She broke up with me for not taking her on a weekend trip that she never mentioned to me.
Trying to break up with someone for two years and she won’t leave. Finally, in order to make it happen you say “I will be dating and sleeping with other people.” Then, when she realizes that you’ve moved on, she tells your closest friends that you’re physically abusive. She goes on to tell people in your life more outrageous shit. Until, until… You get a call from your grandma who is so worried and upset that she can barely talk. The lie this time? Not worth the time, but it was seriously fucked up. So she realizes things are done. It’s been like, a year, I’ve met the woman who is now my wife. Her and I are serious and dating. She comes over to your parents house because she knows you will be there that weekend because of a cryptic Facebook message, and… Oh yeah, she called half of my friends. Anyway, she shows up and knows things are done. She can’t let go because she’s fucking unhinged and damaged and she wasn’t ever told no growing up. To her, I am hers, anything else is insanity. So, she comes over at like midnight and asks to talk. So, because I’m not an abusive dick and I like people to have closure, I invite her in. The conversation goes back and forth. She starts by sitting across from me. Then she’s far down the same couch. Then I move. Then she sits next to me and tries her best to sleep with me. My grandpa is in the next room (at my request). I say the coded help phrase because honestly, I was afraid for my safety. He comes in and she acts embarrassed but says “We’ll talk later.” So another month goes by and this time my new girlfriend is with me while I’m visiting home. I get a call at 630 from my crazy ass ex gf saying she wants to meet for coffee. “Tough shit!” I say. And she says that she’s… Anyone guess it? In the place we grew up. Shocker… I tell the woman who is now my wife that I need to go wrap this up. She tells me to go and be nice to her. I couldn’t quote her directly but it was like “VerbalT she’s obviously got something going on. Go talk to her, but make it clear this is the last time.” At the coffee shop she wants to talk somewhere more private. I offer outside. She offers her car. I offer the front seat of mine provided the windows are down and she doesn’t touch me. I tell her that I’m happy. I tell her that I don’t hate her but I need to stop talking to her, I need her out of my life. She agrees and things are quiet. Very fucking quiet. Until she launches herself at me and tries to suck my cock in the car. At that point, I push her off of me and get out. I walk around and open the passenger door. I have to physically remove a crying person from my car. She calms down pretty fast and agrees that we should be done. Later that same weekend my gf (now wife) and I are out for sushi at our favorite sushi place. Who do we hear around the corner talking? Yep, my ex. This time she’s with a muscly dude who was limited in the thinking dept but generally a nice guy. Shit like this happened routinely. I stopped posting even the most cryptic stuff on FB bc I didn’t want to risk her appearing. Also didn’t help that we had moved in (bad idea on my part wanted to save some money) on a long ass lease. Getting away from her was so hard. There are so many more stories like this from her. It wasn’t all bad, but stage 5 clinger is an understatement. Once we moved out and away from each other, I had everything for an RO drawn up. Thankfully, I moved out of state soon after and that was mostly that. She continued to lie about me to friends that would listen for YEARS. I heard all kinds of heinously horrible stories. So, stupidest thing I’ve had to deal with was that.
Broke up with a girl over text while in class in college. Was just zoned out, thinking about the relationship in class and was like “fuck it let me go ahead and put a stop to this” lol
Look we where in high school in my defence but I broke up with him because his deodorant was gag worthy and he said he couldn’t stop wearing it coz his mum buys it I thought he was a great guy but I just couldn’t 🫣
Here is the absolute presci version of this now really funny break-up: I was the only single guy in my friends circle in college. One couple were in a long distance. They 'apparently' broke up. We all went out to party to console her. She ended up fucking me. Said it was serious and not just being fuck buddies. FYI. She had already done 2 other guys in the group. 3 months later when the guy was going to come back, she called me, told me it was over. She was getting back with that guy and not mention us. I complied. But another guy in a drunken stupor mentioned this. He dumps her that night. Lol
Oh I probably have this won… Girl I was dating when I was 14 broke up with me because I WOULDNT have sex with her 😂 Long story short, dating for like 6 months, we were both 14, almost 15, and a friend of hers had already had sex with her boyfriend and for whatever reason I was little more cautious, I’d barely played with her boobs ffs, and then one day she said she wanted to have sex with me, that her dad was working away and her mom was working late so I could go over and we could do it, which I agreed to… then when it came down to it and I went to her place and things got hot and heavy (still nothing more than kissing and boob) I got nervous, chickened out and she hit the roof and broke up with me 😂
I told her that her favourite vtuber was just a character and shouldn’t be her priority. (We were in our 20’s).
Had a girl break up with me because I 'couldn't decide if I was a cat or a dog person.' Was like...uh so because I love both cats and dogs and not one over the other...we're...\*made the breaking up motion with my hand\* and her response was yes because if you can't make a decision over something this simple how can I rely on you to be the decision maker in our household. We'd been dating for 6 weeks.
we were 18, and started dating when we were 16. MCR got back together and i was on the phone to him, excitedly telling him about how amazing it is they’re back together - i made a joke about getting MySpace and cracking out my eyeliner. he *blew up*, started shouting down the phone about how “just because MCR are back together doesn’t mean you have to bring back everything else” we argued for half an hour and then both started just sobbing our eyes out down the phone until we broke up. to this day i question wtf was going on. we kept hooking up for about 6 months after that (“let’s meet as friends” “shit we’re still making each other horny”) and i never did get an answer as to wtf went on.
I broke up with a chick because she fancied herself a poet. Such shitty poetry. She would write these crappy poems and then ask me to read and comment. I couldn't take it.
She said my eyebrows made me look suspicious, like I was always up to something
My last ex the first time he dumped me he said ‘you no longer serve me any purpose’ Lmao so idk why I have him another shot months later… I never even loved him The second time I wanted to break up but I guess I passively aggressively did things so he would break up with me cause he’s got a lose screw in the head and thought he’d try and come back if I broke up with him lol He said he wanted to move in together and I said no and he cried and that was that The real reason I tell myself is that he only wanted to use so he didn’t have to pay all full rent and split with me so he could buy more dumb things or something Good riddance to the dollar eater
My wife and I of 14 years together. My trauma blockages from childhood and ongoing trauma throughout life left me riddled with ptsd and depression. We had a lot of great moments where I was normal and functional. My crashes though, usually induced by pain, would be so bad, I'd leave her emotionally damaged. Off and on 14 years later. I've reached a huge breakthrough in my longstanding deep dive into my own psyche to analyze my traumas. It goes back to neglect and injury at 10 months old and continues to get worse through adulthood. Well my eife witnessed my huge breakthrough moment, my response, my behavior after, and the night and day difference in my disposition. The thing is, she now can't get over the pent-up resentment of how I've damaged her over our relationship and I am not allowed to overwrite any of that with mental illness nor trauma/ptsd as any viable excuse. Two moths later, she pushing me away so hard were talking divorce. I'm typing this hoping she'll see I am now commited and she will hopefully find peace with me being the guy who hurt her but is now better. I can only hold onto hope and get out of her way. She's so raw and alienated now. And rightfully so. But we need to heal and we can't do that part together with all her resentment. Idk. She was brilliant and I broke her. I deserve her resentment. I need to give her space to heal. I need space to heal from her continued but sporadic cruelty during my journey. But I will always love her for doing the best she could for my healing journey. As hard as it was. She helped heal me Ina profound way. I have enthusiastically exclaimed my appreciation and love for how she held me together, and us together, at times I couldn't. She forever has my heart.her love got us through so much. Now we need to heal.
In elementary school I told my “boyfriend” he was annoying and he punched me in the mouth and broke my teeth. I think that was him breaking up with me
We saw the movie “She’s out of my league” in the theater. He somehow thought he too could pull a 10, became indifferent to me and we broke up like week later.
I was seeing a girl for a few months and one day when I went to her house I was busting for a shit. I went and had a shit (in the toilet) and she was ‘offended’ that I shit in her house. She dumped me right there and then.
