Note: This post discusses abuse.
Being betrayed by a romantic partner is one of the worst feelings to experience.
and people provided incredibly vulnerable answers.
Here’s what they had to say below:

No coming back from that!

The day went on, and we all hung out and had a good day."
“He lied about our finances.
I put him in charge of the utilities because he had bad credit.
He hid that he didn’t pay them for three months in a row.
That is trust broken; I felt like I could rely or depend on him as a partner.
He wasn’t completely honest about his feelings and said I talked him into it.
Knowing that doesn’t make me feel good; it’s not a good reason to propose.
I shouldn’t have to convince someone to marry.”

“We werent married, but our names were on the home title together.
His parents had gifted us the down payment.
Id been a stay-at-home mom at his request and didnt have any money of my own.
He and his parents lied to his lawyer about the down payment and said it had been a loan.
A total fabrication meant to keep me from my equity in the house.
In the end, we settled at half because the legal fees would have broken me.
The model home of a new development, fully furnished with all the model furniture, art, etc.
His toddler, infant, and I had to move in with my parents.”
“After four years together, he came home and said he was gay.
He wrote an entire letter coming out to me.
I felt absolutely terrible for him because I couldn’t imagine how hard it would be to do that.
Still so fucked up!”

I wish I could walk, but shared custody would be way worse."
“He slept with all four of my sisters.”

“I was with a guy for five years.
We were ‘engaged,’ but I found out he was using me to get residency status in Canada.
He was an American running from something, but I don’t know what.
Criminal charges, maybe.
He was a narcissist, and everything he ever told me for five years was a complete lie.
He stole from me, cheated on me, and abused me.
He also lied and said his Mom died on 9/11 when she was alive and well.
He’s the worst person I have ever met in my life.”
“My ex went out with another woman.
He got caught by a mutual friend.
To cover his ass, he tried to convince me hed gone with me, and Id just forgotten.
The kicker is it was summer, and they went on a walk to the river.
She wore a bikini top.
I have never in my life worn a bikini top.
Why do I know what she was wearing?
My ex tried to inception me into believing I did wear one.
This was after I found a picture of him on social media holding another womans bra.
That relationship was a hot mess.”

We got married and are still together, but our sex life has all but dwindled.

I noticed he was exchanging emails with a friend, so I got curious and started reading.
He wrote that I’m a great person, but he doesn’t need me in his life."
Unsurprisingly, I left their disgusting ass, and I’m much happier now!"

He proposed almost two months after he wrote me a love note, trying to win me back.
He used the money he took from me during our breakup to buy the ring."
I told a lot of stories so people would like me and see past my home life.
Lying came easily to me, and the older I got, I started to feel guilty about it.
People should like me for me, right?
I felt safe around him, so I opened up to him about my past.
The asshole wrote a college Intro to Psych paper about me and asked his mom to proofread it.
I hate who I was.
I hate him more for exposing it."

“My partner made the decision to move across the country without discussing it with me.
He didnt tell me about it until hed already finalized everything.
I checked myself into a hospital for eight days.
