We recentlycoveredaReddit threadstarted byu/ImpressiveWrap7363that asked folks to share the worst way someone ever dumped them.

Here’s what people shared:
1.
“My husband of 24 years was away on a guys' trip in Mexico.
You would think after being married for 24 years, he would do better than a text message.

“My first girlfriend, my first same-sex relationship, took me to dinner onValentine’s Day.
I was working only part-time and had very little money.
She broke up with me over dinner and left me with the bill.
She conveniently ‘forgot’ her wallet.”
Exactly one week later, he called me and told me that God told him no.
Using religion to break up with someone was a new low for me.
I probably dodged a bullet, but it still broke my heart.
We both left for work.
Around 10:00 a.m., my sister called me at work to say that he was moving out.
I left work, but he was gone when I got home.
Everything he owned was gone from our room.
Cut to 20 years later, we are in a group chat together with mutual friends.”
“I got together with my high school crush 10 years after graduation.
She has moved out of their apartment and into her new boyfriend’s place.
Trust issues: activated.”

He informed me that he was going to divorce me.
He was waiting to establish residency but had a lawyer ready to file paperwork.
He kept saying there was no other woman but married his nephew’s girlfriend nine months later.
They just celebrated their 28th anniversary.
I’ve been single and happy ever since."

“He basically made me break up with him.
I realized later he only wanted to be with me because I was a virgin when we met.
Once we slept together, he slowly stopped initiating contact with me.
I blocked his number after that.
By far the worst person I’ve ever dated.”
“He went to get treatment in Costa Rica and left his dog with me.
I sent him aTaylor Swiftvideo, and then he went off on being an ‘anti-feminist.’
Then he stonewalled me and never even came back to get his dog.
He’s my dog now.
We were together for seven years and friends for 15.
No conversation regarding his dog.
“I was on vacation in Colombia visiting family for two weeks.
He just sent the breakup text and wouldn’t respond to questions or anything else.”

“I told him I could take a hint and accepted it was over; he responded, ‘What?
I’m sorry I was being distant!
I really like you!’
Then, he dumped me via text the next day.
I could have kept it together if he had omitted that smiley face.
I didn’t fantasize, but I seriously considered it (for a split second).”

“I was a sophomore in college, and my boyfriend had just graduated.
I overheard my sorority sister discussing her great summer in Chicago with ‘Scott.’
Well, my boyfriend ‘Scott’ had a post-grad internship there.
A few minutes later, I heard her giggling and saying she hoped I wouldnt find out.
“I started dating this boy in high school and was madly in love.
Because of our schedules, we could only talk a few times a week.
This was all before cell phones.
“He wouldn’t take my frantic phone calls.
I got super depressed and ended up dropping out of college a few weeks later.
It took me years to get over it.
“My husband of over 16 years was working in Huntsville.
We lived near the space center in Florida.
I thought I was getting engaged.
Instead, he broke up with me after Thanksgiving.
So, I lost who I thought was the love of my life and everything else, too.
It’s been years, and it still bothers me.
It was totally out of nowhere and unexpected.
Therapy has helped.”
Not even a text or a phone call.
Didn’t block me, just unfriended.”
She went to sit with him, and he told her he was sorry and left.
Mind you, they had been together for four years and had lived together for two.
She was essentially evicted from her apartment with two weeks' notice.
He had movers come the next week.
They took the shared bed, dressers, couches, tables, and dishware.
She was left with next to nothing and had to start over.
It turns out he had been planning this for a while.
“My first serious boyfriend right out of high school.
We were friends first, and then it just clicked for both of us one night.
He was good to me and always cared for me when I was sick.
This was before cell phones, but we had pagers.
I paged him a few times with no answer.
You know what they say about karma.”
“My ex and I had been together since we were 16.
We had three kids and were married for 19 years.
He had been ignoring me for months, so I finally had enough.
I said maybe we shouldn’t be married anymore, and he just said okay.
My marriage, the love of my life, gave me up in 30 seconds.
21.And: “He dumped me via FedEx.
We had been dating for three years.
The breakup was the best thing that ever happened to me.
I’m now married to the most amazing man who gives me handwritten greeting cards.”
