Why did you break up with your ex, tell the truth?

Question

For me, I broke up with the first one because we were too young, I broke up with the second one because we had different plans for the future, and I broke up with the last one because her parents wanted her to marry a certain person and in the end she married him, I helped her choose her parents and not me because I loved her so much. I didn't want her to cut off her relationship with her family

My depression and selfishness broke us up. He broke up with me because I wasn't listening to him and what he was going through due to my depression. I was always wanting him to listen to me but not the other way around. And because of my insecurities. He just couldn't deal with it anymore. He needed time to think about our relationship but I wouldn't give him time to think about it and that's when he made the decision to break up with me.

I wish I could go back and change things but it's too late. 😢

Because I love myself and it was absolutely necessary.

Different expectations, our minds could not align. Even to this day I doubt that they ever truly knew me or if they could actually see beyond the surface of what I chose to express.
They held to their beliefs regarding who I was by the ideas they had formed in their minds and I did the same.
Tldr: They weren't right for me and I surely wasn't right for them.

NathanDavis · Answer

we didn't break up... it was a mutual decision, and one we did talk about and think through as well, we had very different plans for the near future, and we did agree it was not ideal for either of us to neglect and sacrifice ourselves for the other, so...

She broke up with me because of my skin color now she claimed even though I am white her mother did not want her dating a guy who was white, so this is the true reason. But I date any race, nothing like people who are like her.

We broke up, and then got back together, and then broke up again. He truly was self-absorbed. We could go on dates and do fun things as long as he picked them, and he decided they were fun. He loved staying at home all the time, and as much as I like being at home, I need to go out and see friends and family and have at least some socialization time which he was never keen to do. He also lacked empathy which I found rather disturbing at times. He would joke about people's pain or dismiss their struggles like it was a waste of his time. He just had only child syndrome in the worst way. If it wasn't about him, and making him happy, then to hell with it. This was 100% confirmed that it wasn't just me and all in my head, when he married his girlfriend whom he dated right after me, and she divorced him for the same exact reasons verbatim.

Alottosay · Answer

He was all over me. I had no space. He would text me about anything and everything. He was aggressive with his love. His kisses felt more like he was giving me cpr. He was also an alcoholic and would text me weird stuff, like he wanted to die beside me.

I broke up with my previous girlfriend because she came from a Muslim background and she knew her family wouldn’t approve of her dating a white man we was friends before we started dating then started having sex all the time and formed a relationship then we both decided it was better to split up she is now married to someone that is from her own background and we are still friends and her husband knows that we used to have sex and he is also now my friend he has never mentioned this to me or anything about it but she told me she told him everything when they first met because she loved him and didn’t want to keep anything from him

OfMiceandMen · Answer

Because she could not get passed certain things that happened in the relationship and it felt like I was apologizing for it every 4 to 6 months. Whereas, she did similar things and once we came to an understanding, I let it go.

WhitneySnow · Answer

Had a couple exes. One I broke up with because he cheated on me, one broke up with me, one because they moved away, and one or two others because we were very young (middle school/early high school) and I just didn’t feel like being their girlfriend anymore.

thegreenyogi · Answer

I broke up with him because he had mental health issues and I didn't. Our brains were wired completely differently and I realised I wasn't feeling good anymore in said relationship and when this happens you know it's over.

FarmBoy13 · Answer

First one we were young and split. Second one we were in college and heading different directions in life, it was a mutual conclusion to end it. Third one dumped me over facebook, refused to tell me why, later found out she fucked her ex behind my back and needed it over guilt. Fourth one was because of my own mental instability because of the 3 one…….. and then the hookups started

sawno · Answer

We couldn't bridge the long distance in time and I wasn't ready to provide something she urgently needed. We left on an I love you, if I got an opportunity to try again with her while I am single I would try again.

SugarSugarplum · Answer

I only wanted love. He only wanted sex. (this was a while ago, mind you)

TheLovelyWoman · Answer

He broke up with me. I wanted to get married and settle, he was not ready. He moved on. I dated his friend and we got married. A year later my ex came back. I still see my ex because he and my husband are friend. Sometime I do wonder maybe I should have waited for my ex a little longer.

Katyalov · Answer

Broke up with the first one because he was playing the field while he was with me. Broke up with the second one because things just didn't click, and I was not in love with him. Broke up with the third one because I realized he was too old for me and we didn't have a lot in common.

She had too many issues which she just won't put effort into fixing. Worst part was she started lying about pity things and was becoming a huge headache. I wanted to help but you can't until they themselves feel the need of change.

The truth is that all of a sudden I saw her in a different way. It was very sudden and I tried to ignore it but a few months later I broke up with her.

First one, we were young and he was constantly lying to me and my friends. He was also just a weird dude.  Second because he was controlling, manipulative and I hated myself because of him

First one because we just grew apart. Second and third, because they consistently put their dick into someone else and weren't respectful

Nifrayu · Answer

We just don't mesh well together. Our respective habits and traits causes stress in each other and it became apparent that it's never going to change. We're much better off as friends.
