Not every relationship is meant to last. Sometimes, the warning signs are there from the beginning, but love makes you blind. Maybe it’s the way they dismiss your feelings, the little lies you choose to overlook, or that uneasy feeling in your chest you keep pushing away.
Story1
My ex decided he’d found some big new love, and he actually told me that. Fine. While he was at work, I packed up his stuff. When he came in the evening for the suitcases, the pain of betrayal and breakup just vanished in an instant. Because standing in the doorway, he asked: “What about my slippers?” I’d forgotten to pack his house slippers. You really can’t take seriously the loss of a man whose biggest concern is his slippers.
Story2
I knew it was over when he couldn’t be bothered to put effort into our huge relationship problems or addressing the massive tension that had accumulated until that point. I felt so alone in that relationship, and I asked myself if I could live with that after we were officially married… so I broke it off. © Sintuary / Reddit
Story3
I finally saw how selfish he was. We dated for 8 years, engaged for 6 months, and $10K of my own money invested in the wedding when one night (while brushing my teeth for bed) I asked him, “So this is what our life is going to be like when we are married? I don’t want to marry you anymore.” All he said after taking a deep breath was, “Ok.” And that was it. I moved out that week. © HyenaFree2261 / Reddit
