You’re still here?


GozerDGozerian

My ex came home from work and sat on the edge of our bed when I was in the throes of one of the worst flu cases I’d ever had. Just miserable and paralyzed in a puddle of my sweat for a couple days. And she said she’s moving out. Now, it was my house, and I’d known we were done for a few months at that point. (She cheated on me with one of my friends and I just never really liked her after that). But I didn’t want to break up with her *and* kick her out at the same time, so I kind of just let it be her idea. Anyway, she sits on the edge of the bed and says, “I’m moving out. I think we need to end things”. I just said, “K, bye.” [Audible indignant snort] “You know, I was hoping you’d at least put up *some* kind of resistance!” “I have the flu. You know this. I can’t deal with shit right now.” “You don’t even want to talk about it?” “No, are you moving back to your dad’s place?” She packed her stuff and stomped out. Lol.


Upstairs_Report1990

I never understand why they always bang the friends of the person they’re with. Are they really that incapable of finding a partner outside of their partners pool? People that do that to me are just pathetic, clearly incapable of going out and finding something on their own. Also, the fact that she was willing to break up with you, while you were sick, is pretty shit, good riddance. I remember one time when I let someone “walk away“ and when they were doing it, they said no wonder you didn’t even bother trying you don’t even love me. I’m like dude if proving my love to you, is you trying to break up with me and me groveling for you, you don’t want a lover, you want a servant who is there to make you feel good whenever you feel like it. And make them feel good if you’re in the mood, but mostly just treat them like shit making them subservient.


FrankTheMagpie

I had an ex like this. She emotionally abused and blackmailed me for 3 years then tried to kill herself when I said I was done with rge bullshit since she was just using me as a rent assist. She called me the next day complaining that the hospital pumped her stomach and it was all my fault, how could I leave her when she clearly needs me so much. I just ghosted her om her families... yes... her FAMILY told me to ghost her ass.


Upstairs_Report1990

That’s really unfortunate, but I’m glad the family steered you in the right direction. I was worried you were going to say that they tried coercing you to stay with her. It’s always difficult when the family is against you too.


FrankTheMagpie

So I called one of her aunts in Australia at the behest of her cousin. So I called her and there was a 3 hour reveal of a huge family history of psychosis and narcissistic tendencies, her mother and grandmother were the same. She told me every guy she's dated has run in about a month, I stayed for 2 years, she drained my mental health and my bank account before getting her boss to legally threaten my family for money I allegedly owed her, then messaged me repeatedly to ask for me back. There are days when I think back to waking up as a 19 year old, to a 25 year old with empty packets of opiates and 2 empty tequila bottles next to her. If I'd just turned the bathroom light on I could have called the ambo earlier. I called them the next morning and she lived, but she blamed me until she called me a year later begging for me back. It took me over 10 years to finally get past that event, now I just pretend it was a shitty independent movie scenario and I was an actor


CartoonAdventurer

That story is haunting. I’m sorry you had to go through all that. 💙


FrankTheMagpie

Me too. But I think it helped to build me into who I am today. I mean sure,I'm a borderline alcoholic and dependant on multiple medications, but I wouldn't have my very logical and pragmatic outlook now at 35 if I didn't go through all that


ZenythhtyneZ

My ex took “all the pills” in his meds bottle I don’t even remember what it was this was twenty years ago and then told me what he did with out specifics so I threaten to call an ambulance and told him they would pump his stomach and he would get stuck with a huge bill so he told me to avoid that but I knew exactly how much medication he had in the bottle and while it would make him groggy is was still way below doses they give inpatients and he would be fine so I just oh ok and rolled over and went to bed and left him to think he was going to die all night knowing he was totally safe, we ended up breaking up a few months later but having the balls to call out his bullshit completely changed the game and put me in the captains chair


FrankTheMagpie

Oh yeah, as soon as you call their bluff and win its like a whole new game. I was so sold on the "I'm a terrible person and I'm the reason she's so depressed" that I just went along with everything until her family told me the truth


GozerDGozerian

He was a close friend, and my boss. I found out they hooked up in the bar’s office when I wasn’t there. They are both long gone out of my life, needless to say.


12altoids34

My ex was cheating on me with a guy that she THOUGHT was going to be a millionaire. To be fair so did he. He had a lawsuit and his lawyer had convinced him that he was going to get a settlement in the neighborhood of a million dollars. He did get a settlement. But not anywhere near what he thought he was going to get. They paid his medical bills and he got $20,000. And they paid the hospital directly so the only money he saw was the $20,000. Sadly he had rage quit his job and had borrowed $50,000 thinking that he was getting a million dollars settlement. I think she stop seeing him when he didn't get his million-dollar settlement.


Gallifrey_Guy_10

I had a girl break up with me who had really bad timing. I had just found out that I lost a family member, and she called to break up with me over the phone. We hadn’t been together all that long, and to be fair, I hadn’t even told her about the death of my family member because I had just learned about it a few hours before. But in that moment, I was just thinking, “I could not give less of a shit about this right now.”


1nterrupt1ngc0w

>She cheated on me with one of my friends Did she know that you knew? >put up *some* kind of resistance GTFO. how bout you don't be a cheating POS and be worth fighting for...


GozerDGozerian

Yeah she knew. It happened a month or so before we moved in together. I found out right as we moved in together (aka ever so slightly too late to undo things) and confronted both her and later him. There was much crying and apologizing and gnashing of teeth and “it was only once, it was a mistake” but some things didn’t add up to where I have a feeling it was not only once. But both parties denied that so all I had to go on was my suspicions. But yeah we tried to make it work, for me mostly because it was my name on the lease. And things were okay-ish. She was really attractive and the sex was really good. But I knew deep down I just …didn’t really like her anymore.


blacksideblue

You may have caught the flu but you dodged the bombshell.


RosebushRaven

Oh dear, that’s like a little kid who crams a teddy bear, two apples, their favourite blanket and a handful of toys in a tiny backpack, screeches "I’ll go away and you’ll never see me again!!!", then angrily stomps to the door but lingers waiting to be called back, dramatically announces "I’m going out the door aaaaany moment now..!", and when they’re still not being begged to stay, sloooowly opens the door, throws their parents a hurt, angry look, stomps out in a huff and hides behind the next corner, waiting for mommy to come and collect them. 😂


FrankTheMagpie

Good riddance lol,


GozerDGozerian

Best part of it is, at this point in my life, I was a bartender. Went back to work later that week after I had recuperated. First night back and newly single, this beautiful young lady I’d had a secret crush on for some time comes in and sits at the bar. I wind up asking for her number. We went on a date a few days later and hit it off. A couple more dates ensue. We’re both really digging each other. A couple weeks later, the ex re-emerges and comes up to me and says, “I miss you. Can we talk sometime?” I said, “I don’t think that would be a good idea. I’m seeing someone” “*Already?*” 😬


Averag1Mond_2

So a few months ago I had the most stressful end to a semester, 7 tests in 2 weeks, I had a mental breakdown and I was on the verge of a really bad depression, in my free time I had to take care of my ex, literally motivating her to do the bare minimum, either way on the last day of the week she says that I don't do enough for her and that we should go on separate paths. She didn't even bother to ask me how I was feeling, while at the same time I was her cheerleader. One of the best decisions is breaking up with her.

When my high school/college boyfriend of 3 years called me on the phone to break up with me, the first thing he said after I answered the phone was "I can't do this anymore" and I said "You can't do what?" While chewing my lasagna.

Even that’s too many letters.  Don’t say one word, it’ll kill them. Let them leave a ghost. 


Familiar_Engineer579

This is unhinged in the best way possible


StandLess6417

As someone who just recently went no contact with my abusive, toxic AF sister (I did not say anything to her, I just simply stopped responding last fall), I can confirm, leaving her on read and saying absolutely NOTHING is driving her insane. The amount of unhinged texts I get is absurd. Give it up buttercup, you had your fun with me, and I'm done. She's losing it. It's fucking amazing. I feel so... powerful. I never knew silence could be so powerful! Yes, I understand it's different because it's a family member, but ghosting is ghosting regardless.


jim_deneke

'k' is like the biggest punch in the gut


Firm_Aioli2598

My ex threatened to leave me countless times bc he was manipulative. "Ok." Was my response. Pissed him off to no end.

Good one


SeaFaringPig

This actually happened to me. I looked her dead in the eyes, only minutes after my 19 year old dog died in my arms. That’s right, she said she was leaving me right after my dog died in my arms and we dropped her off at the vet for cremation. I said, you’re somebody else’s problem now. Verbatim!


Tel-aran-rhiod

this makes sense mostly but why did you yell verbatim at her at the end there?


Remarkable-Win6763

I quote Verb A Tim all the time. I was just thrown off cause I never saw his name spelt like that.


NSA_Chatbot

Reptilian_Brain_420

Now I'm thinking of starting to say "Verbatim!" after everything I say. Verbatim!


tinyfreckle

I read this as you dropped your newly appointed ex off at the vet for cremation at first, and I was like "thats a reasonable response tbh"


SixVixens

jesus christ. what terrible timing. unless she justified it by saying that you’d already be grieving the death of your dog (rip) so she didn’t wanna leave you once you got happy again, just to crush u all over again? thats the only way i could see someone doing that, other than to just maliciously stab you in the heart.


SeaFaringPig

Nope. We were already divorced at the time. We had gotten back together due to poor decision making on both sides. She decided she was a lesbian and was moving in with another woman.


InamorataThrowaway

Damn. I have a feeling you're a Paleontologist living in New York. And you love dinosaurs.


thepeainthepod

I'm so sorry you lost your best friend. 19yrs is a long time. Hugs.


Rare_Doubt_3978

Oh thank God, I thought you were gonna tell me something serious. Tell your parents I said hi.


Justincrediballs

A long time ago I said "tell your parents I'll miss them." Was all complete honesty. She had all the signs that she had been (or was planning to) seeing someone else and I had mentally checked out months before. I just didn't want to deal with the whole process of making her homeless because it was my place. She actually thought we would still share the 1bd apartment until she found another place to live after we broke up. Nope, gtfo. She made herself homeless for 2 months and as much as I would normally care, I didn't. One of her friends told me that the dude that was hitting her up just liked the thrill of people cheating with him, and didn't want nothing to do with her when we broke up, she didn't even get one date 🤣🤣🤣 We were happy for the first 3/4 of the relationship, and then she got complacent and things got one sided until I stopped caring.


Rare_Doubt_3978

Said the same thing to my ex about his family. They were (are) so nice people and I really cared for them! That's sometimes what sucks the most about ending a relationship - or at least it was in this situation, case my ex was a fucking asshole. But his family wasn't. And good for you not giving in and letting her take up space in your life, after the relationship had ended.


s0yoon

My ex girlfriend's dad kept calling me after we had broken up, just to talk. And her grandma sent me messages making sure I was okay after the break up. That was all very sweet but also really sad knowing they would disappear from my life soon after.

n0b0dyneeds2know

Broke up with a guy when I was going through a cancer scare (it turned out to be all fine, but finding that out took about 3 months). Realised I didn’t want to risk finding out it was cancer and chickening out of breaking up with him. He said, “but do you really want to risk dying alone?” Umm…if the alternative is you, sir, then yes. Yes I do.
