Not every relationship is meant to last. Sometimes, the warning signs are there from the beginning, but love makes you blind. Maybe it\u2019s the way they dismiss your feelings, the little lies you choose to overlook, or that uneasy feeling in your chest you keep pushing away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>My ex decided he\u2019d 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: \u201cWhat about my slippers?\u201d I\u2019d forgotten to pack his house slippers. You really can\u2019t take seriously the loss of a man whose biggest concern is his slippers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>I knew it was over when he couldn\u2019t 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\u2026 so I broke it off. \u00a9 Sintuary \/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>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, \u201cSo this is what our life is going to be like when we are married? I don\u2019t want to marry you anymore.\u201d All he said after taking a deep breath was, \u201cOk.\u201d And that was it. I moved out that week. \u00a9 HyenaFree2261 \/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>He told me relatively early on that we would break up if we were ever long distance, while knowing that his academic goals were to go to grad school abroad. And then he chose to text a past hookup with the intention to cheat instead of communicating with me. Lots of heartbreak and loss of trust throughout our relationship together. \u00a9 voiua \/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>We had broken up once, and then got back together. We discussed what our future would look like, house, kids etc. When I felt ready to move back in, she was hesitant and said no. It was heartbreaking. We had the same interaction 3 more times until I was forced to resign the lease in my studio apt. We had been together 9 years before the breakup, I knew if then she was unsure that it wasn\u2019t right. \u00a9 athomeyoura<\/strong>* \/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>My marriage was a horrid mess. We decided to start couples therapy. After our first session, the counselor refused to keep seeing us. She said, \u201cYou\u2019re wasting your time and money.\u201d I was shocked and asked why. She told us, \u201cI can see you have deep problems in the relationship, and I would normally advise you to split up. But I can also see that you are deeply in love and committed to staying married. So, I would only see you again after you\u2019ve both worked on yourselves separately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>I brought up in couple\u2019s therapy that I missed her when she constantly didn\u2019t go to bed at the same time as me because of her long showers. I just said I felt lonely and wanted every couple of days for us to go night-night together and cuddle. She flipped out for half an hour about how strict I was being, said she would do it, but she didn\u2019t want to, and blamed me and the therapist for ganging up on her. I even held her and said I\u2019m sorry this is hard, and she still came at me. I was so angry and sad. \u00a9 tspencerb \/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>I felt like I was lying to him about my feelings and putting off a breakup. I also felt the nagging negative feeling even in \u201cstillness\u201d rather than only in times when it is normal for negative emotions\/thoughts to come up. I felt bad because I felt like I could not reciprocate the love he had for me. Felt like I was becoming a worse person during the relationship, holding onto resentments. \u00a9 Traditional-Clue2206 \/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Now that I really think about my failed relationship, I should have known it was over when I would wait for her to fall asleep so I could cry myself to sleep. Kinda sad and pathetic of me to be this old and not be able to communicate, but it is what it is. There were so many signs that it was over. I chose to ignore them. \u00a9 Beginning_Over \/ Reddit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>I was married to my ex Dan for 6 years before his affair with Kate wrecked my health and our marriage. They now have a 3-year-old. Out of nowhere last week, Dan dropped the kid at my house, saying Kate was giving birth with complications, then vanished. He ignored my calls, so I called the cops\u2014this isn\u2019t my child and I never agreed to babysit. Dan later blew up at me for making him miss the birth and called me a jerk. Now half my friends say I was right, the other half call me the bad guy. \u00a9 Major-Table-3158 \/ Reddit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
