Why did you break up with your partner?

Question

Valso · Accepted Answer

With the most recent - because in my country it isn't always easy or achieveable to live in a separate residence from the parents and his parents forbid him to be so gay (their words and yes, they think being gay is a choice (facepalm)) and break up with me, otherwise they'd kick him out of home.
With the partner before that guy - I didn't break up with her, she did with me bc I made the mistake to fall in love with her. She was my first female love. After her I developed a method to prevent myself from falling in love ever again and I resort to that method every time I catch myself "going" in the love direction.
With my first male love - bc his parents decided to live in the States and none of us was ready to come out to his father. At the time I was 20 and he was 17. We were together for 3 years in full secrecy, only his mother knew (somehow). His father was an aggressive homophobe, so we couldn't risk it by coming out to him and so we had to break up bc a relationship with a few thousand miles between us wasn't something either of us could keep alive for a long time.

Either directly me letting them go or the other way around usually father cause of action caused the relationship to split apart what time they will do something and get you to break up with them so even though you cut them out the door they chose to elicit that response from you I'm sorry to think that most of my relationships have been a joke it wasn't supposed to be this way so if you feel like you're the only one you best believe you're not.

Lied about many things. Hid many things from me. Big things which were really unfair to me, really made me feel devastated. Hit on other women behind my back. After a while, he took me for granted and treated me like crap, etc.

He focused primarily on sex.
Didn't seem to really want a future with me, well not unless I'd do all the hard financial graft to get him to the position he wanted.
It wasn't beneficial to me in any particular way.

WhatTheHeckkkk · Answer

I didn’t break up with my ex, he broke up with me… But wanted me back, I rejected him because he lied, he was toxic, he broke up with me many times before, and I couldn’t handle it anymore.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

He thought it was just a matter of time before I cheated on him because he had no money so he dumped me.

Chill_Meta · Answer

She was overly adamant about wanting to have a kid and i didn't want to have a child.

At that time in life where i was barely taking care or myself and just scraping by. I could see she was going to jeopardize her chances at doing better before she even got a good start at life. After sitting down, explaining, and talking with her that it was not in her, my, or our best interest to do so then. I had others who had gone through this hardship talk to her as well. She would hear no answer other than the outcome she wanted to happen. So i made the decision to split from her.

I actually just recently broke up with my partner this week. We had been together for 5 and a half years. But it was time for me to accept that he wasn’t the ‘one’ I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and it just wasn’t right.

I feel like a completely new and better person, I feel like myself again and I’m so happy I have committed to that decision, as it was a difficult one to make but the right one for me.

Siren777 · Answer

Things were moving super fast and when I met his family they were really weird into strange things that nearly scared the living fuck out of me so I said sorry this won't work between us and you deserve someone who is a better fit and can do the things your parents expect of them and we went our separate ways.

Serenitykayyy · Answer

I was dating this guy for a while but we weren’t together yet. I cut him off because we had nothing in common and he wasn’t really engaging. He kinda was just there. I wanted someone that I would be able to bounce ideas off of and is decisive. He was a nice guy and I wish him the best.

Anonymous · Answer

Because I was young and dumb and didn’t know what I was doing at the time. It got to be too overwhelming and I just couldn’t seem to handle it or hold onto it anymore.

If I had known any better, I would have tried harder and not given up when things got too difficult. I wouldn’t have checked out and disconnected myself or emotionally distanced myself from the relationship. Too late to fix it now. That was about 16 years ago and she has rightfully moved on from it and is with someone else.

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

First boyfriend: He was lying to me constantly, and was doing so much weird shit, I also started liking someone else.
Second boyfriend: he broke up with me. Said he wasn't feeling the spark anymore.
Third boyfriend: months of manipulation, making me feel shit about my body, ruining my friendships, distrust, emotional and verbal abuse I snapped and ended it.

Babygirl_S · Answer

I only had one relationship and broke up because he wanted premarital sex so bad. I am not willing to do that because ultimately that stuff will leave me heartbroken like so many other girls. I would rather find someone who can wait for sex until marriage.

Guy13 · Answer

Does one ever break up? I’m pretty sure, no matter how much one scrubs, those parts are still up in there whether it be physically, emotionally, or mentally.

The fact this question is, proves the point.

Jdall132 · Answer

My last boyfriend cared more about his car than me, for example I was in hospital after I broke my leg and he didn't want to pick me up because his car had a 'strange sound' had to get two busses and a taxi on crutches. This and how rubbish he was in bed

Anonymous · Answer

He was so money obsessed. Him and his family had quite a bit of money, more than mine and he didn't understand when i got worried about money and what i could and couldn't spend it on. Sometimes it made me feel very belittled from comments he made etc. He just didn't quite get that not everyone can spend money willy nilly like him.
He didn't appreciate the small moments at all either.

Novacane · Answer

I would say I am old fashioned, but I think that is failing nowadays. It’s hard to be old fashioned when everyone else is modern. So I would say I am versatile, depending who I am with I feel comfortable playing either role.

Finchie40 · Answer

Cuz she was selfish and only really cared about herself , double standards , most girls have the grass is greener on the other side syndrome nowadays , I blame a lot of it on social media , selfishness is the biggest relationship killer

FreyaRed · Answer

He loved to play games online. It started with hours in MMOs and ended in playing for money on dubious poker sites. I told him I won't finance his addiction and if he asks for money I will go. At some point he asked and I left him.

Lucy68 · Answer

He cheated on me for the lord knows how many times, got another girl pregnant, I was tired of being abused mentally, emotionally, physically, and sexually, and I couldn't take trying to save the relationship anymore i was done.

Slartybartfast · Answer

Was having financial difficulties and working two full-time jobs (overtime at both most weeks) so she split one night and left me with the bills.

The funny thing was, I almost immediately got a better job.

exitseven · Answer

I dated somebody for 4 years. She put next to no effort into the relationship and I jaust got sick of being treated as a fashion accessory. I called her one night and broke up with her over the phone.

Anonymous · Answer

He broke up with me. He hurt me, used me, would share me with his friends and treated me like his personal punching bag and sex toy and I let him because I loved him. He dumped me when I finally said I wouldn’t do something and then said I was a slut. What’s sick is I still love him.

MrtoddsWildRide · Answer

The last one was because she was too needy. If you are texting and calling more than three times a day even if you know that I am doing something important and saying it's "unacceptable" that I can't talk you 24/7 then I am going to talk to you 0/0.

Crepe_tart · Answer

He wasn't mentally stable. He basically didn't want to do anything in his life anymore (autodestructive). I tried to help him but he ignored me and didn't want anything to do with me.

Phoenix98 · Answer

She left me mainly because she had to force herself to be attracted to me. One of the many things that were wrong with that relationship.

Anonymous · Answer

She didn't love me. I was only in her life to cater to her that was apparent. She slept with other guys on a whim. There was no point in being together it was not healthy.
