‘you better choose whos more important me or your kids.’
It was the easiest decision ever; he seemed genuinely shocked that I chose my children."
“She hit me once, and I let it slide, thinking it was way out of character.
I told myself if she did anything like this again, I would drop it all and leave.
My 8-year-old at the time was sitting on his bed crying (this is rare).
I calmed him down, and we walked downstairs to go for a walk around the neighborhood.
As I was walking down the stairs, she said, ‘You are going to coddle him now.’
I knew right then, and there she had hit my son.
We walked outside, and he told me what she did.
I never looked back and would not piss on her if she was on fire.”

“My godfather, whom I was very close to, died.
We were eating in the kitchen when I heard.

“I’m related to a well-known singer.
One day, he asked if he could meet my family, and I was super happy.
My cousin, however, was in Germany at the time and couldn’t attend.
His words: ‘What was even the point of inviting me.’
“I’m not attracted to you.
Honestly, I have never really been attracted to you.
A lot of the time, I’m somewhat physically repulsed by you.”

“I mentioned I didnt feel appreciated.
He said there was nothing about me worth appreciating.
I cooked, cleaned, and paid all of the bills.
I don’t care how much I loved him; that broke me.”
“He wanted us to try for a baby.
I said I wouldnt have a child until I was married.
He then said he didnt really see wife qualities in me.
Why the fuck would you want to have a baby with me then??
I ghosted him.”

“On our two-year anniversary, I took her on a four-day getaway.
It was a big suite, her favorite French cuisine, concert, ballet, etc.
“‘I just wouldn’t care if you and the kids were dead.’
I guess going completely without contact was the closest option available.”

“I didnt leave immediately, but very soon after.
They told me that they never cleaned up after their cat when they threw up.
They said they simply let their dog eat it.
I noped out of there pretty quickly after that.”
I told him to fuck off there and then and ended it.
Who thinks like that?
It still galls me years later.”

He was extremely surprised I ended our relationship and bawled his eyes out like a baby.”
“You better be glad I didnt sleep with my ex while I was mad!!”

“I told my girlfriend I had a new high-paying job.
Her first words were: ‘it’s possible for you to finally pay off my debt.’
I didn’t know about the debt, and I noped out of there like lightning.
Her debt was around $10k.
It was the best choice I ever made.”
“‘I only cheated because you left me alone for too long.
I love you, but I have needs.’
I was gone for two days on a business trip that I had invited him on.”

“My first relationship was with a man who was ten years older, and we lived together.
“He accepted a job in a nearby state, and we were going to try a long-distance relationship.
I broke up with him on the spot.”
