What made you come to the conclusion that it was over with someone you were dating in a long term relationship?

I just felt like we became different chapters of the book, no longer sharing dreams, goals, politics, religion, and/or interests anymore

The bedroom became boring. I felt so unsatisfied and I needed more

Everything became so routine in a way I could not stand anymore. I felt completely suffocated by the cage I felt I was in

I started having feelings for someone else, and rather than cheat, wanted to break up first to explore those feelings with someone else

I felt gaslit. It turns out they never wanted things like marriage, kids, or to even move in together to grow our life

They were suffering from addictions that made it difficult to sustain our relationship any longer

It was me. I changed. I just wanted to start things fresh and new and not be tied down to anyone or anything even if it meant the end of the relationship

You know when you know. If you're walking hand in hand and pulling the weight of the relationship along together, side by side, you're good. Once you start feeling like you're pulling forward on your own while the other person is dragging their feet or taking a back seat to let you pull the cart on your own, you know it's time to reassess and potentially cut loose.

There could be many reasons but generally I see it like this ;


I’m with a woman and she is with me so that our lives can BE more ! , I don’t NEED her but I Need to WANT her and I need her to want me and want our life together. To defend it , to support it , to add to it in some meaningful way.


Should I feel that it’s not that or it can never be. That because of where we are in our lives or what we now want then it’s over. It’s not a sadness , but it is the end of what you hoped for and what you thought you were building but nobody would want anyone that didn’t want them so … when you have reached that point where your staring at the abyss you know in your gut it’s over even though your heart may tell you lies !

Constantly butting heads and no longer seeing eye to eye on things , sometimes it’s best to walk away from someone that isn’t on the same page as you are. , just because you love and care about someone, it doesn’t mean you have to be with them.

There’s a million reasons but one of them is: if it’s not worth fighting for anymore, then there’s no reason to be together anymore. Cut your losses, idc how many years we were together. Goodbye

I walked away when my ex fiance told his female friend to be apart of this “fake” texts conversation about her liking him just to try to prove I’d look through his phone. Even when I’ve read messages of her already saying something slightly inappropriate when she has a boyfriend. I’ve never had trust issues but if someone is willing to go to those great lengths to hurt you trying to prove a point they’re no longer needed in your life!

I discovered men lie and they cheat. I found out the hard way very early, just after my 13 birthday. My experience with males didn't change much over the next 10 years either.

Her getting drunk, and jumping on another dude's dick, was a pretty obvious sign, for me.

13 years down the drain.

[WhitneySnow]

They cheated on me. Before that I was very happy.

[Anonymous]

She cheated. That's an automatic "it's over". There's no explanation that can defend that.

The catalyst was his emotional affair.
