What was the final straw that made you end your last serious relationship?

Question

Palvi · Accepted Answer

"He went to a high school that was mostly attended by country club kids. I went to a high school in a small farming town. He thought that made him better than me and the people I grew up with. He went to my 10 year high school reunion with me and the entire time made comments about he has nothing in common with "people like that" and he couldn't believe I came from "a s*** hole town like this" etc. small town people are crazy nice. Every single person there was nice to him and tried to include him in conversation. He ended up just sitting in the car for two hours and texting me about how stupid my town is and how lame those "rednecks" i grew up with were. He also said his reunion would be at a country club and would be way better than mine. This was right before memorial weekend and we had plans to go out of town. I ended up going without him then coming home and dumping him. "

The other six dudes she was fucking in 6 different states.

Yvonne Sanger · Answer

While my mate went to shower he left his iPad open...in plain sight was a message from another woman, so I looked at it. It was NOT from a friend. This made me curious. As I delved further into the rabbit hole, it became clear that for the ENTIRE 7 years of our relationship he had been having many different affairs IRL and on-line. Why he kept this information, I'll never know, but, to his detriment, he did. I told him what I found and he first got mad about my snooping, second, tried to explain it all away, when that didn't and couldn't work he blamed me for his actions. Ha! I packed my things and moved across country!

Bethina · Answer

She was insanely jealous about everything, but had been going through a rough time in her life, so I tried to be understanding and let some of that go. Then one night she was yelling at me over the phone (again) because I had talked to an ex, who I hadn't dated for 5 years, that I was still good friends with and she knew about going in. Literally yelling over everything I said. I couldn't take it anymore and yelled back at her telling her I was hanging up and I had had enough. She responded by threatening to tell her ex-cop father that I had been verbally abusing her if I hung up on her. That was the moment I realized how easy it is for some women to lie about serious shit. I hung up anyway and took my chances. Moved on.

Mayan · Answer

Gaslighting, emotional manipulation, towards the end of an 18 year marriage refused to take care of his health or hygiene, weeks going by without talking about anything, refusal to address finances, and a descent into madness. Not sure exactly what set the last 5 years into motion, but all of it happened so slowly that I didn't notice any one thing until my birthday when I realized I didn't want to have another one if things stayed the same. I had a mental breakdown over a bill that we couldn't pay because he had spent all our spare money on alternative health treatments that weren't working and $5 purchases that added up to $100s every week. We couldn't come up with $162 and I just wanted to kill myself. I don't wish him any harm, but I hope I never see him again.

Anna-Katarina · Answer

her ex-husband is an alcoholic with the world's best combination: anger issues and a concealed carry permit.  She would not tell me when he was coming by her house to pick up the kids-he didn't stick to the custody schedule and she didn't think it was a big deal.  After his screaming/threats when I was at her house, I decided I didn't need the drama.

asiye · Answer

"He would not stop trying to cheat on me. I say "trying" because he was never successful, just constantly sent out a bunch of desperate DMs to other girls, along with having secret PoF and fetlife accounts. Every time he got caught, he'd cry his way out of it. After three or four times being caught, I'd noticed he'd been snapchatting a girl we both knew a lot, but he swore up and down it was nothing inappropriate. I didn't believe him at all given his history, so I asked her myself, and she told me everything. He was saying all of the exact same shit to her that I caught him saying to the other girls before, and I was just over it. When I told him I was done, and why, he tried to cry his way out of it again. "Oh so you're just gonna leave me like everyone else does??" Yep, sure am. "

Chrysler · Answer

"Technically she broke up with me but I had been thinking about it for a while. We kept having problems that I would try to talk about to fix them, but she would only apologize and not work with me to fix them. Then a few weeks ago she told me that the problems had "been going on for too long" and we broke up. "

Shelton · Answer

When he started calling me abusive out of the blue after talking to this new guy and proceeded to try to dump me for said guy. Guess me listening to his problems for three years and forgiving him for lying about his past was abuse.

Patel · Answer

"A week after my brother died, he told me to "get over it" "

Titos · Answer

When finally, after years he admitted to cheatin. And when asked how many times, he said he couldn't even remember how many girls he'd been with. I could only feel disgust for him since then.

Turner · Answer

She told me to get a different job or she was gonna leave me. Little did she know that ultimatums will get me to drop you faster than a southern mother could butter up a breadrole.

Nevile · Answer

same thing that made me end all the other ones. the guy threatened to kill me. the only thing that was different about the last guy is that I left him after the first threat.

Virpi-Leena · Answer

being cheated on by 3 other people simultaneously.

Jonell · Answer

She broke my $5000 dollar cello and had the audacity to be mad at me for being mad at her

TU · Answer

He hated my family (to be fair I hate most of them myself but don't you fucking dare disrespect my mother or Uncle James) the last straw was him insisting my mother was a druggie (she looks the way she does because of a childhood full of abuse and neglect, also she can't stand needles or smoking of any kind (except BBQ). Last I heard he became a pothead working crappy jobs lol.

Ceylinaz · Answer

She hit me in the head. Right there I saw she actually was trying to provoke a reaction so I would hit her back. Guess what, she did that to a previus ex and got some money out of it. I said it was over that instant, and left two weeks after. 1 and half year being manipulated, lied to, cheated on me since she was going to some guys house while I was working. I was done trying.

Kerstin Rothstein · Answer

I'm gay. We're best friends now.

Khongorzul · Answer

She told me to kill myself just like dad( she had mental problems, she's better now and on medication)

KRYSTINA · Answer

"She beat up a cop(unfortunately there were two of them so she was arrested) and as soon as she was accidentally released due to an error she hit the road not stopping until she was over a thousand miles away in another state I said to myself I don't think she's the girl for me She still called me many times for two years afterward and my first words were always "You're not in Wisconsin again are you?" BTW Out of curiosity I plugged her name into YouTube and she has some videos advertising her brick and mortar business so she must of calmed down a bit since I knew her "

KALLIE · Answer

We were only dating for a few weeks, and he was always just a self entitled little shit. The last straw was when he went grocery shopping with me, and instead of offering to help, just sat and watched me carry several loads up three flights of stairs. If this was a one off thing, i would have let it go, but his refusal to care about anyone but himself was a core aspect of his personality. He was 6'1 and hung though, so that's why it lasted a few weeks.

Lily · Answer

My twin's last request before she died was 'please look after my dog' and i said of course i will dont worry, and when i said to my wife what my twins last request she said 'oh no there will be no dog in my house'! i begged and pleaded for her to let me take the dog but she wouldnt have any of it! it took me 4 months to get rid of that bitch!

saba · Answer

I was sick and he stormed out of the room because when he demanded that I talk to him but I couldn't because my voice was gone. In all honesty I would have left a lot sooner but I kept getting sick

Engy · Answer

I honestly think so because I have never been so sick so often before. Nothing like starting your morning crying while making the bed wondering what you have done wrong because the person that supposedly loves you makes you feel like you have to walk around on egg shells. I was still a little sick when I was caught packing to see what could fit in my bag because I knew I needed to get out asap. I honestly was so scared that I thought that he was going to kill me

HUI · Answer

"It was two things but i really should have realised at the first. First, I rearranged my schedule at work to work a 7 day week so we could have at least one day off together. When it got to that day she said she was "too tired" to hang out and was just going to nap all day.  Second was when i crashed my bike and was laid up in bed for a week barely able to move. She had planned to come over that weekend but instead came over and said she couldn't stay over because she forgot her stuff and left after about 10 minutes after saying it was my fault i was in pain so i shouldn't feel bad. "

Kathrin Burger · Answer

He came home from 'work' and OD'd. Had no idea he was using any form of drugs. He's alive, and alone. Bastard.

Necla · Answer

"I wasn't the one to end it but the warning signs were there. She was very possessive and jealous of any girl "friends" I had and they had to be basically run through a filter. I was an RA at my college and part of my job was to know my residents and be a good guy and that meant knowing both girls and guys. She accused me of having a "harem" because she called me one night in my dorm and a few girls happened to be over asking me a lot of first year questions. My fav moment was her getting super mad because people I was hanging out with and was in class with were lesbians and or had boyfriends,etc Super glad that I didn't end up marrying her as I likely wouldn't have finished college. "

Lumi-Kukka · Answer

When he got mad out of nowhere (honestly still don't know what I did) when we were with friends, gave me the silent treatment for about 2 hours, then blew up at me out of nowhere, to the point where I thought he was going to hit me. He didn't, but the thought alone that he was capable of it was enough for me.

SHERIE · Answer

He need me to text him whenever I left to drive somewhere and text again when I arrived  I dont know why I tolerated it for so long but the final straw is when I got back from a particularity disgusting sewage job and didnt text him that I was leaving work, I did text him that i got home  That fight lasted all night into the next day , I dont know why I was so blind but I'm glad I got my eyes forcefully slammed open and left him  After breaking up there is shit ton if other stuff that he did that messed with me and I'm having to work through it.

violetta · Answer

I feel like there's 2 voices in my brain. One that's normal, and logical, and the other is crazy and insecure. My crazy insecure side started taking over and I started having melt downs regularly and taking it out on him. I started trying to hurt him as much as my own brain was hurting me. After a few months It got to the point where we started hitting each other. Once we reached that point my logical side ended it. He was a decent guy and deserved not to be put thru that anymore. He cried and begged me to stay but I wanted him to find a healthy relationship and I wanted to find peace. It's been 2 years and I've only had one melt down. I'm doing better.

Ieman · Answer

"I was with this gem of a human for 3 years. This was the instance that truly opened my eyes. Everything else had been psychological or emotional. He got belligerently drunk one night, tried to force me into a threesome (the third party hadn't even consented), and then aggressively pushed me to the floor when I told him that's quite literally rape. His response, and I quote, "that's not rape, you're my girlfriend!" Yeah... he's mega blocked. Thankfully, I had a lot of friends nearby that made leaving very easy, as we lived together at the time. "

Juulia · Answer

We're currently on a break so not really broken up but it's been a build up of a lot of bullshit to say the least. 5 years together in 3 months. Last straw was when I got a nipple piercing to make myself happy and he lost his shit. Kicked me out his house while I was over visiting then texted me to leave him and his family alone. That I ruined our relationship. And that I wasted his time. Hes been trying to apologize and get back together (it's only been a week). But honestly, the longer I spent away from him and talking about it more openly, the more I dont want to go back. Dont hold your tongues y'all tho because it's only a break and we're either going to have another serious talk by the end of this week or next week to figure out what is best for each other.

Vaughn · Answer

"Constantly putting me in no-win scenarios:  Me: How do you want to get to the new house viewing (cycling)... Her: Don't mind, you lead... Me: Ok. (Inputs into GPS) Her: Why are we going this way? Me: ??? Me: "Which flat should we go for" Her: "I don't mind" Me: "Ok..." Her: "Why did you choose that one? Me: "???" Me: "Where do you want the things in the new kitchen" Her: "I don't mind as long as it makes sense" Me: "Ok..." Her: "Why the fuck are the plates in this cupboard" Me: ???  And so on.... "

ALYSHA · Answer

I'm a deist. My family is Muslim. My mom and sister does not wear hijab or wear modest clothes. If you see them, you couldn't tell that they are Muslims. They know that I'm not religious. My ex told me that when we get married I need to be a Muslim. He told me to wear modest clothes, wear a hijab. His mother told me that I'm a sinful woman and if I don't cover up I can't be a bride to them. I was 19 years old that time. I was planing to become a teacher at that time and apparently I would be surrounded by males and that is unacceptable. I was terrified of breaking up with him because he was my first boyfriend. And after 2 years, me and my family went to a vacation. He saw our vacation photos and started yelling at me. He was mad about me wearing a swim suit. That was the line. I waited so long to get rid of him, and this comment is getting longer.

Nadine Bader · Answer

"He treated me like shit and constantly told me I was not an adult because I couldn't sit down and have an actual conversation when I was mad. I got really angry one time and tried to have a conversation like he wanted but he said "your thoughts are stupid and I want to go to bed." Then he hid behind a blanket. That was his idea of being an "adult" and talking about our problems. "

Liinu · Answer

He told me I had to be a christian woman and denounce my pagan beliefs. I'm a buddhist and we had been just talking about getting married after being together for about five years. It was certainly a wake up call to the type of person I was thinking about spending the rest of my life with. I had to break up with him in public with my sister keeping the car running because we knew he would not take that lightly.

Miida · Answer

"I got off work at 12:30am and with us having one car he was supposed to pick me up. Received a drunken text from him that he couldn't drive and that "I had to find my own way home." This was before Uber/Lyft so I tearfully called my Mom who picked me up, drove me to the apartment where I packed all my essentials and left. Many things led up to this but by this point I was done. The first thing I said to him when I was calm enough to talk was, "I want a divorce." "

dicte · Answer

"My final straw was I was told that I wasn't treating her right because I didn't grab her a soda when I walked back in the room, a week after thanksgiving where I bought her roses, a blue diamond infinity ring, reserved a spot for us at a fancy restaurant then drove an hour and a half to see a Valentine's Day light show...  oh here's the kicker, all I got was a card from her with... no joke.. shitty crayon drawings of us that said "I love you"  I moved that next month to Florida to be away from her.. "

Rolando · Answer

"She asked me to choose between her and my motorcycle.  While our relationship was of course more important to me than a (admittedly awesome) bike, the fact she could get actually jealous of this inanimate object did me in.  I do have a weirdish thing that when I see my bike I tell it "good morning beautiful" or something alike, but still. "

Ulla-Christin · Answer

He took naked pictures of me while I was asleep.  I didn't go to sleep naked

Audur · Answer

I wanted out soooOOOoo bad for so long but just kept putting it off because I knew I was in for a world of emotional blackmail and drama. We were living in my mom's house for a while she was living out of state, and when she moved back, rather than asking us to move, she added a small mother-in-law suite to the back of the house (I didn't want her to do all that, but it was her house and she did what she wanted). I paid all of the expenses including rent and utilities, despite being 5 years younger and in school. As soon as the extension was added, he started insisting we move out and leave her paying both the mortgage and the loan on the construction. I went ahead and said he could just go ahead and move out solo.

Huntley · Answer

"They posted on Facebook "I think I might be a flat-earther"   We were engaged. "

Linell · Answer

kept lying about the stupidest shit. I knew if she could lie about the most mundane crap she can lie about more shit. She only cried cuz I had to dig around so who knows if she even sincerely felt guilt. I made a dumb mistake though  i ended it, gave in to her tears and apologies but knew there is no way to trust her. Kept battling in my head whether or not she is lying..then id accuse her and we became so toxic It finally ended and I vowed to never go against my gut ever.

Chelsey · Answer

Jessina · Answer

Long distance relationship. He was having surgery so I drove 12 hrs to be with him for a couple of days during recovery. He was getting a bunch of text messages. Turns out he was telling a female friend of his that I was nothing to him and he wishes she would be his girl and begging her to come see him in the hospital. Turns out I was the only person to see him during his recovery, he begged me to stay saying that he saw how wrong he was but I was done. The drive home was not fun...

ESPERANZA · Answer

"I used to run a lot, then I put on a bunch of weight, then I lost most of it. I like to say that I'm still a good runner wearing a lot of fat.  I had been biking every day all summer and finally got up the nerve to try running again. My girlfriend asked me how my workout had gone that day. I told her it was great! I ran three 9 minute miles. She flipped out on me for "bragging" about how I was "effortlessly" faster than her.  Between this and her not recognizing how important my sobriety milestones are to me, I realized this was not a person who supported my small victories in life. "

Ronny · Answer

4 year relationship, she would go mad over almost anything.  She wanted to eat a creme egg, I farted, she said it ruined the egg for her and she had been waiting all week for it, so told me she was leaving me, a common occurrence, in the past I had pleaded with her to stay in these situations but this time I was like lol I'm done. Told her not to forget her stuff and for my key and walked her to the door and locked it behind her. Then blocked her and her family/friends on facebook.  I had dealt with shit like this for almost all the 4 years, decided to nope out. (she drove me home once because I opened a packet of crisps upside down, she got mad at me for wrapping a christmas present well because she had been struggling for hours and could only wrap like crap and I should have helped earlier, despite her refusing to let me help until that point).

Marina Eisenhower · Answer

My ex made a joke about getting married, and I realized that the thought of marrying him was repulsive. It hit me like a ton of bricks, all the shit that he did to me (controlling, verbally abusive and gaslighting) and I didn't want to deal with it anymore. Left a week later when he wasn't home, I grabbed as much of my shit as I could carry and took off.

anne-grete · Answer

Had been off and on for awhile due to her insane levels of drama and bullshit (I caught her in a few major lies), she ghosted me for a couple months. Whatever, I actually enjoyed it, was just getting back to normalcy when she reappeared. She totally expected me to just be like cool, back to the same old, and I wasn't having that, so things got icier. A game I had been wanting to play came out so I decided fuck it, ima drop off the earth for a week or so and play my new game.  I did so, came back, and was treated like I was the second coming of Hitler for ghosting her for a week, despite the fact that I was supposed to just be totally fine with her doing exactly that to me for months.  Yeah, last straw, I blocked her on all forms of contact after that and haven't heard from her since. No regrets.

sasia · Answer

I was on a 3 day vacation to Portugal with my father and sister. Then when we flew back, she got upset. Like REAL upset. That I didn't send her a message that I landed before my father posted it on facebook. I was still sitting in the fucking plane and had my phone on airplane mode. She got so mad at me for such a stupid thing, ruining all joy I had from that vacation. As soon as I got home, I got into my car and drove over to her. Grabbed my shit and told her to be overly attached to her goldfish but not me.

Brenda · Answer

He lacked motivation to do anything with his life, we were together for 7 years and he never made any decisions to improve his life without someone else doing all the grunt work. He refused to seek treatment for his depression (there's only so much you can support someone who won't help themselves). He got into thousands of PSPS into debt gambling behind my back. I stuck with him through all that.  The final straw was my mum becoming terminally ill. She was hospitalised for 4 weeks before being sent home for palliative care. He never came to the hospital with me once. The night we found out she was terminal I cried myself to sleep whilst he played league of legends. I kicked him out the next day.

Rayner · Answer

"I said that I had to take my friend to Urgent Care beause she was feeling faint and had horrible abdominal cramping. He replied with, "I'm at home making tacos". Turns out he couldn't even pretend to care. "

Els-Maj · Answer

My brother was involved in a serious accident and almost lost his life. The trauma to his brain was so bad they had to remove a portion of his skull to relieve some pressure. In doing this they had to shave his head. I was at the hospital every moment I could be to support him. She only showed up once. When he came out of his coma a group of friends and family all got buzz cuts to show our support. My girlfriend LOST HER MIND over me shaving my head and supporting my brother. Things escalated from there which also brought up some underlying issues that led to me ultimately ending things. It just wasn't meant to be.

Dodie · Answer

Stephanie Schultz · Answer

I moved 14 hours away from our hometown with this girl. After a year, she moved one of her horses down. Then when I decided I was going to buy a house, she decided to move her sister and 2 more horses down. And the sister would be living with us. And the housing would not be split 3 ways because they needed to pay for the horses. Which is essentially me paying for their living expenses while she and her sister ride horses.  No. Just no.

Irving · Answer

"I caught her cheating and was bummed out about it, deep in contemplation for a day or two but then she dragged me into a call between her and the dude she was cheating with (his profile picture was his shirtless back) while she tried to tell me how bad I was and he sat there agreeing with her using only gang slang and acting tough and trying to insult me  3 days later she calls me and asks if I still love her and when I said no she went dead silent for 10 seconds and said ".....what?...." then left the call and sent me a message about how she felt her soul leave her body Jesus was I desperate "

Duke · Answer

Technically she ended it but it was like this: She ambushed me stating that we would not kiss anymore, that she wasn't going to go out with me anymore, that she was going to spend a lot of time at the church, etc. AFTER she cheated on me at least with two guys on the last year and a half (we were together for 5y3m). Obviously I got very mad and told her a lot of stuff that made her end the relationship. Then I tried to apologize but she refused to get back with me. As time passed by I realized she had prepared the ambush on purpose. I guess it was the best for me after all...

Sabine Bauer · Answer

Screaming at me in front of my mother. The woman who brought me onto this world. That was a whole new level of anger I had never felt before. I took the abusive, the constant shouting and put downs. But when he disrespected me in front of my mother. That was the final straw.

Kayra · Answer

I was going through a lot of abandonment issues and hid my girlfriends phone to keep her from leaving so she would spend the time looking for it with me. It was obvious that she didn't misplace it, she was attached to her phone as most 19 year olds are.  This led to many arguments as I was so afraid of her leaving me that I would always distance myself / manipulate her. Looking back at my psychotic behavior over the years it was hard for me to live with myself. But I realize that back then I had 0 self awareness and that I can be better in the future.

JENISE · Answer

Distance. She moved to Scotland and I'm still here in the eat coast of the US. I was the one who broke it off, and the decision still haunts me. I don't know how to get her off my mind.

Marja-Lea · Answer

He was using me as a means of propping up his mental health. Putting me on a constant pedestal, and always telling me how he wouldn't even leave the house if I wasn't with him. Completely incapable of or wanting to do things on his own and not because he was emotionally damaged, but out of sheer proclaimed laziness. It was annoying and I couldn't take it anymore after he finally told me that he would likely kill himself without me. It had been only a few months. Uhg.

Stephanie Klein · Answer

She had been negligent and selfish for some time. This may seem insignificant because worse things have happened in this relationship (like refusing to pay for my car's damages when she crashed it), but the last straw was when I spent one week of my free time (I went to college and had a job so I basically cut out relaxation time, study time, and sleep) making her a jacket and corset for the renaissance festival. She showed up to the booth I worked at without either and said she couldn't be bothered to put it on and didn't care anyway. I went to the back of my booth and cried. I couldn't work the rest of the day.

Anne-Mari · Answer

"End of a 7-ish year toxic and complicated relationship (swinging and polyamory were mixed in). She was living with me with her 2 kids. We are both in bed and she just says "I have been seeing this guy for a few weeks now." I went out and sobbed at my computer for a bit.  I don't recall much of the actual fight but the gist of it was that she wanted to sleep in my bed with me and still see this other guy and basically slowly end our relationship. I had enough. I was considering kicking her and her kids out that night but I decided to do the nice thing and wait until the morning. They had a place to go so I wasn't too worried. "

Kourtney · Answer

I was raped while dating my now ex. He proceeded to cheat on me because if I got to 'sleep with someone else' so could he....

najma · Answer

"I dated him for 5 years and he lived with me at the time of the breakup. I forgave him for cheating just a month prior, which I know I shouldn't have, and I was having a really hard time with trust and everything still (duh). I told him I was going to stay with my mom for a couple days because I was struggling. And he said "which slutty friend put that idea in your head? I know you would never be strong enough to come up with that on your own." Who says that?!  Yeah...get the fuck out of my house. Now. "

Ros-Mari · Answer

I have asthma and had an undiagnosed chest infection. Woke up in the night unable to breathe, asked him to call the NHS. Which he reluctantly did. The whole time we were waiting for advice and then ambulance I was gasping for each breath he was complaining about how he had to get up for work in the morning and the lack of sleep etc. No concern or sympathy at all. Finally an ambulance came out, gave me oxygen and some other medication and I started to violently shake. Eventually felt a lot better and they left. He started on at me that it was my fault I was ill because I worked too much etc and ended with him saying 'if you won't look after yourself then quite frankly I can't wait for you to die'. That was it for me. 17 years together and children but left and never once regretted it.

She would breakup with me like weekly and then come back the next day crying or saying she attempted suicide or going to the hospital or something. I took her back every time like a dumb ass but this time I just told her I'm done. It didn't make it hurt any less but now I am so much better off

Marie Sankt · Answer

2nd ever boyfriend: he tried to get me to send him money cause his parents wouldn't.  I don't give ANYONE money. You know that was the only relationship I ended. 1st boyfriend came out the closet, 3rd boyfriend left me after he knocked me up, and 4th boyfriend became my husband and passed away in August.

Andrea Meier · Answer

I came to the realization that I am worthy of love and that someone else will be able to love me, I don't have to settle.

Taru · Answer

"He was unemployed for our entire relationship because he was "starting his own business." Anytime we went anywhere, I paid for him to come, paid for his meal, whatever. He told my best friend behind my back that I contributed much less to our relationship than he did. I don't even really know what he meant by that, but it just sealed my growing opinion that we were going nowhere. "

Sara Schaefer · Answer

She got mad at me for not sending her a message on WhatsApp before she woke up

ANAMARIA · Answer

He said that I had no ability to maintain friendships, that he was my only real friend and my best possible partner. I went to a local pride festival two days later, caught up with friends he'd tried to cut me off from, realised that they'd never treat me as badly as he did, and then went home and dumped him and moved out the same day.

majbrith · Answer

"7 hours before I had a big test, she wanted to argue. There was no "not" arguing with her. If you stayed quiet, she kept going. If you disagreed, she kept going. If you took her side, you were lying. 2 hours into the fight, I tried to ignore her and go to bed. She told me to admit we're through. (Might this be a way out?) I said yes. She started questioning if I was serious so I had to lay it out, "Yes, we're done, I'm sick of this, we are done, we're over, you're moving, we're done....now go pretend to sleep on the couch for 15 minutes before you coming back in here and yelling more about how I didn't come rescue you from the couch...yes I know you that well and I'm sick of all your BS, go sleep in your fucking car, I don't care, we are 100% done, I'm going to sleep before you ruin my final tomorrow, WE ARE DONE!" "

Wiivi · Answer

I haven't yet but I can't handle being poly anymore update: in a shocking turn of events, I have been broken up with. I feel like a weight was lifted from me and then added back on

Kylli · Answer

My ex told me he didn't trust my family and therefore I shouldn't spend time with them or if I do I have to constantly be texting and snap chatting him. This was the tipping point after months of emotional abuse and isolation from my friends, but when it came to my family I snapped. Definitely dodged a bullet, considering the breakup eventually lead to a police case being opened

Sterin · Answer

Someone tried to carjack me in my own driveway and ended up shooting at me as I drove away and put three bullets in my car ( I was fine) all she could do was say that it could have been her and she was so worried about that and could not seem to care less about me. I asked her to move out and leave that night. She didn't understand at all why I was upset.

ROMA · Answer

She cheated on me again after I specifically asked her not to

Philomena · Answer

"When I asked him to come visit after not seeing each other for 2 MONTHS, he wanted to go to his house to fuck...I was working graveyard shift and didn't have a car, even OFFERED to pay for gas 2 months before to come see me, but he "had work"......was a waste of 6 years of my life among other things "

Zafu · Answer

These are sad

mie · Answer

Her brother-in-law and I hated each other intensely. She was really close with her sister so I had to see him literally all of the time. Dude was drunk practically 24/7 and gave me shit for the fact that I didn't drink alcohol, was like 4 years younger than me but constantly talked down to me in boomer-speak (like that I apparently relied too much on computers when looking for a job), would privately tell me I wasn't welcome there because I was white, and was just overall an asshole. He also had the most obnoxious laugh I've ever heard in my life. The worst part is that her sister broke it off with him like 2 years later after their 17 year old half-sister told her that she had sex with him.

Catlin · Answer

She told me that if we were gonna be together in the future, that she would never meet my family. She said this because I had told my mother and sisters about the constant emotional, mental, and physical abuse she had put me through since we moved in together.

Britney · Answer

Puked into his hands at the dinner table, and ate it.

LAVONE · Answer

first serious long term relationship 1.5 years, ended 2 days ago. Turns out he cheated on me in June and then spent the last 5 months being too chickenshit to end things and the past 3 weeks he's done everything he can to make me absolutely miserable, including not answering my calls after I took an uber to his house so I stood outside in the rain with soda I brought for him. Just miserable. So I'm in his room sopping wet, crying, telling him I feel like he doesn't care and he's STILL too chickenshit, so now I have to ask if he wants to break up and he goes weellummmyeaahh. AND THEN i get a text from his best friends ex telling me he cheated on me SO THEN I confront him and he admits he's wanted to end things since June when he got drunk at pride and cheated on me. and now I'm here, single, really sad, but I know I just have to be better off like this than still with him.

Liisa-Marja · Answer

I got robbed at gunpoint because my boyfriend at the time owed someone money, they took my brand new iPhone, and when I asked him to replace it he got extremely upset/basically told me to fuck off. He was making a solid 15x more money than me and after successfully getting my phone replaced I dipped the FUCK out. I was not down to keep putting my safety as risk for someone so selfish. Turns out a year later I found out he spent some time in jail, safe to say it was well deserved.

Meagan · Answer

I was having a private conversation over the phone with her but she put it on speaker for her friend to hear.

TORA · Answer

Comforting me the day of my grandmothers funeral, and then sleeping with his now girlfriend later that day.

Mehetabel · Answer

Married 9 years, two kids. He cheated on me at least twice. He confessed the first time, which occurred a week after we got married. I forgave him out of fear of being alone and pregnant. Second time, he didn't confess. He just came up with some wacko excuse. We had two kids by then. Then he was on WestPac. I know full well he cheated on me, gut feeling. But I had no proof. After all that, we continued. I finally woke up and realized that I didn't need him anymore. The straw that broke the camel's back was him threatening to kill my dog. I chose the dog over him.

Stephanie Mauer · Answer

She tried to manipulate me by threatening to break up, so the next day when i went to pick her up i dropped off all her shit and ended it right then and there.

Daniela Muller · Answer

"I was dying of the flu and asked him to get me some soup. He came back with 1 can of $0.69 soup, venmo requested me for $1 because "money is tight right now", then bought an $80 bottle of scotch 3 days later on Election Day, and the fucker didn't vote because he got too drunk. "

Caroliina · Answer

He stopped trying, I couldn't even remember the last time we went on a real date. All he wanted to do was sit and do nothing. He stopped caring and so did I.

Jennicka · Answer

Boyfriend when i first met him was sweet and full of potential. Towards the end of our relationship, he became toxic, rude, and lazy. He dropped out of college to focus on being a sound cloud rapper. (God how I cringe at my choices.) Him dropping out put me on the fence, and I eventually discovered he was cheating. The final straw you ask? I confronted him about said cheating, and he started FREESTYLE RAPPING to me about how sorry he was mid argument. And it was TERRIBLE. On the bright side, I lost all feelings I had for him dead on the spot and walked away laughing.

Seth · Answer

"She told me that I was a "cheap fuck" because I wanted to cook for her instead of taking her to Texas Roadhouse. I was so excited about a new recipe I wanted to try out. "

Doreen Schmitz · Answer

"I was having a health episode and since it wasn't an emergency, I texted him (I figured he was asleep.) my best friend was up with me all night, taking care of me. When I called him in the morning and asked why he did not call or text me in the morning he said "your health isn't my problem". And I knew it was over and never could fix that. "

SHERI · Answer

"His brother was rude to me at the table, and I said "I'm not sure I agree with that, let's leave it there" to which his brother stormed off. I was then banished from the house until I apologised to the father, and all the brothers for "disrespecting" a man in the house. My boyfriend told me I had to do this. Didn't want to, so he ambushed me on Valentine's Day (4 months later) for a 'special night in' and locked me in a room with his brother until I apologised. I apologised and got the fuck out of that room and relationship "

Lanita · Answer

she couldnt deal with the fact that i was sad after my brother died

GLENDORA · Answer

He got another chick pregnant. Killed it for me. ETA: the relationship not the baby. Once I posted I thought it sounded bad but then thought hmm that's pretty fucked of you to think. Glad it's not just me.

Elias · Answer

She started ignoring what I said and only wanting sexual advances from me, if I tried to spark a conversation I was either ignored, spoken over, or cut off. I wasn't okay with that and she got mad when I mentioned it, and went insane when I left her and wouldn't stop texting me. I blocked her number so she used her siblings, the parents, then cousins phones to keep calling and texting me. I have blocked all the numbers so far and she has stopped for now. Also recently found out I wasn't even her main girl so that's great.

Netty · Answer

Threatened to sleep with my co-workers husband

Lisa Frueh · Answer

My ex had severe anxiety due to his parents divorce and wouldn't allow me to hang around guys even in a group. I dealt with it for 3 years because I loved him so much. I ended it after my best friend graduated and I wasn't allowed to go say goodbye before he left for college. I did it anyways and came back to my boyfriend having the worst panic attack I've ever seen.  It's been 5 years now and we're still great friends. He just needed help and refused to get it.

Daniela Schuster · Answer

While we were arguing over a stupid thing, she took two knives from the kitchen and started to hone them by grinding them at each other.

Delnia · Answer

Her parents demanded that I bought a house before we could be married. Funny thing is I already owned an apartment but the value (400k) was not quite as much as the value of the house she owned (600k) so I had to get a house of at least even value to even it out. Unfortunately, my ex-gf decided she would side with her parents on this one after I pointed out the absurdity of it.

What was the final straw that made you end your last serious relationship?
