Recently Reddit useritsjadejuniperasked the community, “What made youlose attractionto your ex-partner?”
For them, there was no turning back.
“When they started treating everyone else better than me.
I felt like I was just an afterthought, and that completely killed the attraction.”

“It kind of hits hard when you realize the person you cared for prioritized others over you.
Its like, why am I even here if Im not valued?
It definitely changes how you feel about them over time.”

“When they began arguing for the sake of it.
No rhyme or reason or well-thought-out ideas.

“My ex emotionally dumped all her issues on me.
To protect her and help her better herself with advice and support.
But that dynamic skewed the relationship, and my drive for sex slowly diminished until it was gone completely.

“I stopped wanting to have sex with him because I felt so objectified.
His affection towards me was ONLY tied to sex.
I walked out of that relationship thinking I was asexual.”

Then she got upset because I stopped complimenting her.
She basically convinced me I wasn’t attracted to her, and I just got so tired of it.
I found myself saying, ‘Okay, you have convinced me.’
We broke up, and it wasn’t bad, but it was for the best.
I still want the best for her.”

I realized he didn’t actually love or care for me, just the attention he got from me.
Pictures of him make my skin crawl now.”

“She always talked about herself and never asked me anything or what was going on in my life.
It was really hard even to have a conversation about things or get feedback.
It was like I was single and felt like I never got any feedback.
I’m in a much better place now.”

“When I realized they were a chronic people pleaser.
90% of what they told me was a lie to just get me to like them.
To this day, I have no idea who I dated for four years of my life.
It was all make-believe.”

That man did not know how to comprehend matters of the heart and mind.
It was draining.”
