Breakups, no matter how amicable, are the worst — something has been lost (even if it was time to call it) and you're left to pick up the pieces all on your own. That's not to say that the experience isn't valuable, but that doesn't make it any easier.
So when an ex says something below the belt — or in these Reddit users' cases, cruel and unusual — during or after the breakup, the pain you feel escalates. Exponentially. And while we've heard our fair share of horrifying stories, these accounts are downright rage-inducing. You might want to hold onto a baby, puppy, or something else 100% pure to counteract those "I'm giving up on humanity" feelings. Yep, it's that bad.
#1 Forever ruining breakfast for an ex might be the worst offense.
"The day my ex-broke up with me, we went out for breakfast. I left later that day and he broke up with me VIA TEXT. Trying not to let it hurt me, I laughed it off and was like 'Hey, at least I got breakfast out of it.' His reply: 'Oh they all do.' He then basically told me he was cheating on me throughout our whole relationship."
#2 Murderousbudgie is murderous for a reason.
"I don't know why you actually thought we were going to get married. I'm only 26."Uh, motherfucker, because you fucking proposed to me.
#3 “I don’t love you anymore.”
This is terrible whether you’ve been dating for months, or years, simply because it’s like saying that after X amount of time with them, you no longer care. They’re not enough for you to love.
#4 As if a death in the family isn't bad enough.
"'This isn't going to work out. You have baggage now.' His response when I called him from the hospital after my father passed away."
#5 Imightbeaspider knows too much. Way too much.
He started telling me the details of his cheating. Originally he told me it was a drunken mistake and he was completely blacked out. After I dumped him he told me the truth. He said it wasn't one night, it was two. They f*cked 13 times, and the first time he called her by my name. He said she was better than me in every way. That had me really fucked up for a while, which was his intention.
#6 “I don’t care about this relationship, and I haven’t for a long time.”
Well, why not say that sooner, when you could have possibly worked through the issues? This is an insult, because it means you stopped caring about the relationship, and didn’t bother communicating. In a relationship, both parties have a right to know immediately when this happens, not weeks or months later.
#7 When you get dumped (wait for it) for going bald. A NATURAL PROCESS.
"'If you weren't losing your hair I'd find you attractive. I just can't be with a bald man. What would people say.' She said this to me when I was 20 at an Applebee's and still wanted me to pay for dinner."
#8 VVillyD makes you glad AIM is gone. It's gone, right?
In early college (2004-5) I had a friend who broke up with his girlfriend by changing his AIM away message to "Found out I'm John Conner. Off to fight the machines. Previous social commitments are on hold unless otherwise notified". He then just stopped talking to his girlfriend. That was pretty cruel, I think.
#9 “I don’t trust you.”
Obviously, one of you messed up one too many times, and everything burst at the seam. But there’s something about saying these four little words that really rubs some salt in the wound. It’s both, pointing out the obvious, and making it clear that the person isn’t trustworthy or reliable at all.
#10 Abracadabra, no he didn't.
"Hey, you wanna see a magic trick?' 'Yes.' Does crazy things with his hands. 'Poof you're single.'"
#11
"He,y you wanna see a magic trick?"
Yes
does crazy things with his hands "Poof you're single"
#12 “We make better friends.”
This is the equivalent of saying “The sex isn’t good enough, you’re not attractive enough, but we have fun together when we’re not trying to be physical.”Being better friends means you get along, know how to have fun and laugh together, but you’re better off keeping it strictly platonic. Hearing that during a breakup is like a slap in the face.
#13 When family most certainly does NOT come first.
"'Your brother is better in bed.' She'd been cheating on me. Yes, with him."
#14 Then again, sometimes your brother has your back 100%.
"After catching him cheating on me in my own house, with my cousin, ON MY BIRTHDAY, his reason was, 'Our relationship is about the emotions, not the sex.' I'm glad to say my brother didn't let Jason go without a nice reminder of why you don't do that on a girl's birthday."
#15 Congrats on two things, lbtrigger!
Not so much as what she said, but how it went about. The day before she broke up with me, I didn't get into Grad School. That was the kicker, me not getting into grad school apparently. She basically said I was a loser and I'm "not the writer [she] fell in love with before." Fast forward a week later, the rejection was a mistake. I actually got in the masters program! Fast forward to now: I start the PhD program in the Fall! :)
#16 Sometimes you just have to be the bigger (taller?) person.
"When my ex-found somebody else, she went with the line, 'He has a better job and he's taller.' Ouch!! I don't know what his job was but I'm 6'2" so I'm only half offended, I'm happy at this height."
