These Reddit users weighed in on the final nail in the coffin of their marriages.
He Took Our Marriage For Granted
“I went to a Mother’s Day dinner full of women who told me I was doing a great job as a first-time mom. I realized there that everyone else could see my worth except my spouse.”
I Was A Prisoner When I Was With Him
“We did a trial separation, and the first time I saw him after being alone for a few months, I was disgusted and was more certain than ever that I wanted a divorce. I felt nothing but dread, resentment, and like I was a prisoner when I was with him.”
My Vacation Made Me Realize I Didn’t Want To Go Back
“I realized how miserable I was in my last relationship when I was on vacation with friends and actually cried when I had to go home. I stayed for another year until I got the courage to end it.”
It Was So Clear He Did Not Care
“Pretending to be sick when my mother died so he didn’t have to comfort me. Following on from that, he was the only person not to check I was okay when the July 7 bombings happened in London. It was so clear that he didn’t care at all.”
He Said The N Word One Too Many Times
“He said the N-word one too many times. We had lots of fights over it. I’d told him a thousand times that he was NOT to say it in front of me or the kids. He got in the car, Beyoncé was on, he told me to turn that N off, and I lost it and yelled at him, and I invited him to go find someone else.”
He Broke Up With Me On My Grandad’s Funeral
“3 months away from the wedding, he broke up with me on the day of my grandfather’s funeral to avoid being with me through my grief, then tried to get me back the next day. It was over for me right then.”
He Had No Spine
“When I realized he had no spine or control of his own life. If you asked him about his future, he’d say, ‘I don’t know, but my parents want…’. If his brother asked him to game together when we were spending time together, he’d say, ‘I just don’t like saying no to him.’”
He Never Did Anything
“8 years and one kid together, he always had an excuse to never do anything around the house. Shopping, cooking, learning to cook, dishes, cleaning, laundry, etc. He never did anything. He’d offer to do something but only if I reminded him, which just put the mental load on me too.”
He Left Me Outside
“I broke my ankle and two weeks in, he got mad at me, so he left me outside my apartment building at night, knowing I couldn’t open the doors. Then he didn’t come home for three days, and I found out he downloaded Hinge while “drunk.”
He Was A Very Cold Person
“In one of my previous relationships, it was the lack of affection when we were together. It felt that we are not even friends, albeit in a relationship. He was a very cold person. I am very happy now to be separated from him.”
He Pulled Out a Knife
“My ex pulled a knife out after an argument. One of the only times I raised my voice back at him. Instantly never trusted him again. It was completely over. I am divorced now and lead a peaceful life.”
He Kept Cheating
“He cheated, and I forgave. He cheated, and I forgave him. He cheated, and I didn’t know. Then I kissed a woman, and I left ….. he remains confused. It’s been over 30 years.”
Unsupportive Dead-Weight
“He took my car without asking early one morning while I was asleep. He knew he couldn’t drive it because he was constantly on Benzos. This was after years of his drug problems, mooching off of me, just being an unsupportive deadweight of a partner.”
He Owed Money To People He Shouldn’t
“In a previous relationship, he had been lying about his expenses, and he finally admitted to being in 100K debt to people he shouldn’t be in debt with. Thank goodness we weren’t married. I packed and moved states when I found out.”
She Ghosted Me For 3 Days
“When she refunded the plane ticket I bought for her without telling me when I showed up to pick her up at 5 AM. Then ghosted me for three days.”
When He Raised His Hand
“When he raised his hand to slap me and brought it really close, threatening me if that’s what I wanted. Left and didn’t look back.”
He Refused To Get It Diagnosed or Treated
“When I realized, at nearly 60, that I could not face spending my last 10,15,20 years living with him when he is in an almost constant state of depression. He refused to get it diagnosed or treated.”
He Wanted a DUI
“When he told me he wanted/was actively trying to get a DUI in his truck while he was out of town. Something about wanting to shock himself into getting his life back on track. Literally just shrugged me off when I told him that it would financially ruin us.”
We Just Grew Apart
“We just grew apart. We were together for four years, but one day I just told him out of the blue that it was over. I let him know he could take the time he needed to find a place to live (we lived with my parents at the time). It was good for both of us.”
He Threw Me Down A Flight of Stairs
“He threw me down a flight of stairs. This was the first physical violence, but there had been all other forms of abuse in the three prior years.”
He Punched My Dad
“He punched my dad. I could handle the aggressiveness but messing with my dad is a whole different story.”
