A woman shared a tweet from a man who said he knew he had fallen out of love, when he didn’t offer to help his girlfriend carrying heavy crates of water
A stream of responses said they fell out of love after their ex joked about being attracted to someone else or had an affair.
Another added: ‘When he drove five hours in his pajamas to knock on my window sobbing to speak to me. I had changed my phone, blocked him, his family and moved five hours away to my mum’s.
‘He didn’t understand that cheating on me four different times meant we were through after three different chances. Mentally and physically abused me, told family members not to contact me and the list goes on.
‘It was 7am and I just remember looking at him and thinking: What the actual f*** is wrong with you. It’s one of my proudest moments, because I know I would’ve killed for him to do it a week before this.’
Many people said they no longer wanted to be in a relationship because they had discovered infidelity or heard their partner talk about fancying someone else
Others said they experienced physical and emotional abuse before they made a decision to leave their ex.
‘He was playing Fortnite and I asked him to watch our son while I ate. I hadn’t ate all day, I was breastfeeding the baby so I was always very, very hungry.
‘He threw his headset and got in my face and told me his game meant more to him than me or the baby did. He’d also said his sleep mattered more than we did,’ wrote one.
Another said: ‘When he told me to shush during labour. I had a sudden flash of clarity and knew that I would be raising the baby alone because I deserved better. Still took me a year to get to the proper breakup, but I never forgot the certainty of that moment.’
A third added: ‘We were in an argument and he kept calling me all sorts of names. I asked him “How would you feel if our daughter came to us and told her significant other was talking to her this way and calling her names?”. His response was “Well I hope she isn’t as much of a dumb b**** as you are, and actually leaves”.
Others said they left their ex-partner because they were abusive, including one woman who had a gaming headset thrown at her face
