(#10) More Of A Roller-Coaster
From Redditor /u/Cuddle_Cloud
I waited 5 months before breaking up because so many things came up. I didn't want him to think I was obsessed with the number 3 so I couldn't break up after 3 months. Then it was summer break so I couldn't see him and i wanted to do it in person. Then his birthday. Then Christmas! I finally broke up in Jan..... And then get back in April because I genuinely fell for him again. We lasted 3 years before I realised I was the only one putting any effort into staying in the relationship and finally broke it off for good.

(#12) He Chewed With His Mouth Open
From Redditor /u/stale_donut
I moved to a new country by myself to start studying. Shortly after I moved I downloaded a darting app and starting dating this guy, in the beginning it was great, we got along well, but there were a few things that really annoyed me.
He’d invite me over but wouldn’t clean his room, so it’d be really dirty and uncomfortable. He’d chew with his mouth open even though I always asked him to stop and I was the one that always had to travel 1.5h to see him. I never loved him, I’m not even sure if I was even attracted to him. But I was scared of being alone, especially in the new country where I knew no one.
He also told me that he’s very depressed and I was scared of breaking up with him because of some of the things he said. He knew I had an ex who committed suicide, as well as a friend of mine who attempted suicide.
I feel like he made up his “depression” because it’s keep me with him. Men’s mental health has always been super important to me and he just used that to his advantage.

(#8) He Wasn't In Love
From Redditor /u/Soggy_Nothing
I was the one super in love. I don't think he was. Once every 4 or 5 months, we'd have some sort of discussion. The last time, it was that he didn't know if what we had was love. I should have seen that as a warning. But I convinced him to stay with me after an hour discussion.
I think he felt guilty. I stayed with him through suicide attempts, drug induced psychosis, and moved countries for him. I imagine he felt an incredible amount of guilt, and stayed with me because of that. I think he cared for my well being maybe. But he wasn't in love. And it's painfully obvious now that I'm out of the relationship.

(#16) The Dog Changed Nothing
From Redditor /u/nnaralia
Our dog.
My (now) ex was getting lower and lower in life because he was lazy to do anything. I don't even know why I started dating him. A year later we adopted a dog and she just made everything worse. I love her, but that doesn't change the fact how terrible our relationship became after that. She was the only reason I didn't want to break up with my (now ex) boyfriend. We had the talk and tried to fix things, but he put zero effort into it. I ended up breaking up with him because I realized no one else's happiness should come before mine. I knew he wouldn't leave our dog, but I also knew she will be in good hands with him. I can't believe I put up with all that shit for 3 years...

(#6) Young, Jacked, And Smart
From Redditor /u/eilletane
In my first relationship I thought I had scored the jackpot. I was young and he was young and jacked and smart. He over glorified himself and I just couldn’t see that. I looked up to him as a god, mainly because he kept saying I was bad at my studies and cooking and basically everything that I love to do. I thought I would never get someone better so thus I stayed. I thought I loved him, I thought that was what love was, but I was just proud that I had gotten someone “so amazing.” I was stupid.

(#4) We Weren't Even Friends
From Redditor /u/skibumatbu
We have 3 kids. We made a great team. She went with one kid one place and I took the others somewhere else. Whether it was afterschool activities, playdates, or shopping on the weekend, our ability to divide and conquor was amazing. However, we never went on a date. We never watched TV together and just barely slept in the same bed. We did seperate things in our private time. We were never intimate. We weren't even friends. Just two people in the same house sharing responsibilities.
For 5 years I sacrificed my relationship because it made my life easier. It was miserable yet comfortable. I love my kids and that made me happy to see them happy. It made me happy that we were able to afford some luxuries for the kids that I can't on my own. I was scared to end the relationship. I was afraid to live alone and afraid that I would never find someone else.
My wife moved out last week. I now have to face those fears. I can be a single dad half the time. I'm still scared. But, I'm optimistic that my kids and I will pull through....
