I was a late bloomer, first relationship at 35. I was overly keen and pushed too hard. We worked through a lot but she seemingly didn't see the same future i did. We also unexpectently fell pregnant which she announced on valentines day as well as ending our relationship. She asked for time and no contact, we met up a couple of weeks later to talk but didn't really go well. She miscarried shortly after and we never really spoke again apart from a couple of heated exchanges. She seemed to expect me to be there to support her, but i was trying to move on (i would have been there but when we had met up she had spoke about her having sole custody for at least 3 years, i was never going to accept that)
Well my job for one. I am on social media all day and all night. So she would be wondering why I commented back to someone on IG instead of texting her. Things like that.
I don't know if she didn't trust me or just wasn't capable of trust or simply jealous and controlling. She was definitely not a free spirt and laid back lol
I met someone on a coffee date who seemed like he was interested in something serious. I was having a casual, no strings open communication relationship with someone for a couple months and ended it smoothly.
I told the now former partner that I had met someone who seemed the type to date exclusively from the get go, and he graciously acknowledged my termination of our casual hook up situation. He wished me well as he was leaving town in a few months anyways.
There was no ghosting, no leading on, no hurt feelings and I never 'double dipped' on my still current partner.
Toxic ex boyfriend and was already getting out of hands both have a learning disability. he was the very insure and complain about his ex girlfriend. I always was uncomfortable by he was always talking and complain about his ex girlfriend and i said stop it now. he didn't even stop . I also had a bad experience with some girls in previous relationship that I told the girl not get involved in my relationship but they end up not listing to and counting causing drama. I also did tell the guy that I did have a relationship. these girls are not true friend should act like.
My last girlfriend dumped me while I was in the hospital after I almost died from a rare brain condition that I didn't even know I had. They fixed me, all good. She texted me while I was in the ICU about "what about ME?" Like what if it had happened while having sex with her, and then said she thinks we should just be friends.
Before that moment, I saw her as sweet and warm. After that moment, all I saw was a narcissistic cunt.
Needless to say, we are definitely NOT friends after my response.

It wasn’t exactly that he and I were in a relationship. We were getting to know each other, we were attracted to each other, but it all stopped when he decided to pursue a relationship with a girl he had known before me. He never knew exactly what he wanted. While being in his relationship with her, he would occasionally hit me up. It was a mess; we stopped talking, but about two weeks ago, she found our old texts on his phone and tried to stir up drama, but thankfully it was resolved; he seriously dragged me into such a mess.🤦🏻♀️
We broke up via misunderstanding. I was watching movies and vibing but then I see her texts late saying that if I dont show her any attention she could hurt herself permanently if you catch my drift.
I told her that what she said is unfair and a little toxic because I won't always be around to help her out. However, she said that she was being very honest and got mad at me for calling her toxic. To clarify, I said what she did was toxic, not that she herself is toxic.
She then came to the conclusion that we should break up. I agreed because she was very clingy and suffocating. I offered my shoulder for her to cry on but I always listened to her problems constantly and she always needs me. She listened to mine of course but I didn't pour my problems on her the way she did me.
I understand she needed someone to confide in however, the weight of her issues pouring onto me was a bit much for me to agree to break up with her.
It ended for me when I found out she cheated on me with her ex boyfriends. She ended up ruining her body & getting trust issues, I feel like she has unattended issues emotionally, mentally as all her ex boyfriends did is leave her after they had their fun. I couldn't support her any more, but I really liked her wished she didn't derailed like that and she could have become a really good woman. She's still my friend and I help her whenever she needs anything. I really loved her but sadly it's her actions that spoke more than her apologies. It was like for example she told me yesterday that she wouldn't do it. And I would caught her doing it today. Glad she's not mine anymore as I really feel unless she changes how she respects herself and thinks about everything that been with her she wouldn't get very far in life. But hey that's love I guess. We learn the lessons of life as we go through!
My last relationship ended because my ex boyfriend was cheating throughout the relationship and constantly got mad at me because I was constantly juggling the speed of my progression in life to satisfy him. I was only 21 and still establishing myself out of a minimum wage job and it got to the point where I ended up working at a strip club as a bartender for more pay, and was doing so behind his back.
He's controlling, toxic, and clingy. He broke everything about me to try and make me into what he wanted. When I finally started going to therapy and trying to take care of myself, he worked desperately to control my life further. Really has been a miserable time trying to put myself back together and get to a healthier place.
I wanted children, she wanted to party. I lived alone for a year while still married, I finally decided my life and time where more valuable filed for divorce.
She waisted my time - Sad thing is she got pregnant while out partying - wasn’t mine it had been at least a year since I had human touch.
Once them papers where signed, suddenly I had plenty of options just wasn’t in the right place to take any of them.
It was a 3+ year LDR and she put no effort into the relationship. This was in the 90's before e-mail or Skype. I figured that people are supposed to be on their best behavior when they are dating. If this was her best effort I could not imagine what it would be like to be married to her. I finally broke up with her over the phone.
My last relationship which lasted less then a month ended because she was out with her young friends & she thought I was getting jealous of her because i was 30 and her guy mates were 18 or 19 and I didn't trust her, so he broke up with me over a text, shitty huh, she was wrong because I did trust her but she wouldn't believe me, oh well, her loss.
She was a far-left feminist and I'm a conservative. I initially agree
with everything she said just so I could have a relationship. But after she insisted a woman has a right to an abortion up to the point where they cut the umbilical cord, I had to end it.
My ex cheated on me, lied to me about pretty much everything, and then went behind my back and told people I was the bad guy. Did all this the day before Christmas too
She kept wanting to move to new places so we could "start over". Turns out she really just wanted to disrupt all of the friendships that I was developing, because she couldn't stand not being the center of my focus/attention/energy. Finally, I got tired of moving and chose my friends/community.
The last lady left with a black dude. I can see why. He had a 3 wheel radical-looking two-seater. He had lots of money. So I wished them luck. When she tires of him she'll move on, just like she always has.
I fell out of love. He wasn't a bad guy, or anything. We ended it on neutral terms and we're cool when walking into eachother again

7 weeks ago after 3 years relationship. I guess she didn‘t love me and want me anymore. She started trying less I feel like and talked increasingly less with me. She says she‘s busy with other stuff in her life and doesn‘t see a future anymore. Empty excuses though.
It was toxic and we argued too much to the point that was all I was worrying about. I still love him but I’m glad to be single now

Because he was polyamorous. Married his ex-girlfriend and I couldn't stay in that kind of relationship. There are a lot of other reasons but.. yeah... I just snapped by the end and I finally freed myself from him and the situation.
She cheated on me with another man. I was loyal and faithful to her, while she was sneaking around behind my back. I hope to experience true love someday.
Because he became distant all of a sudden, tried my best to understand him and make him understand. But my efforts wasn't appreciated so then decided that i ain't got no time for making him realising my worth.
I was in love with someone else but totally in lust with her. As a gentleman, I couldn't be cruel.

She left me, all the while telling me I was an amazing husband and she still loved me... I treated her like she was the only woman in the world. Still confused by it all.
I'm 85% sure I'm the problem. I've had 16 girlfriends, we date for a couple of months and then the arguments start. So either its me or I've gotten unlucky 16 times.
My last two attempts of a relationship ended because the one was overwhelmed by my stress at uni and the other was overwhelmed by my dedication to her nearly ruined situation.

He broke me down mentally and emotionally. He was manipulative and narcissistic. He was fucking any and everything he could.
Like say she liked me every once in a while. Communicate what she wants, boundaries, or respect. Not ruining genuine moments or trying to hype herself up to me when I already thought highly of her
I tried to ask what I could do better. Called her out when she would make jokes during intimate or deep moments and all this. She never got better and she never communicated anything
I hope you clearly communicated with your expectations before breaking up. If you wanted to get married, set a goal of six months to get engaged upon living together and married in 1.5 years of moving in.
@SunnyFlorida we were supposed to move out of his old house, I moved in with him and one other family member, we were supposed to hopefully get our own spot in the spring, it’s almost the fall and he showed no interest in making that happen. Let alone take me out on a date.
