“I Felt So Betrayed”
“My ex-girlfriend cheated on me back in October, and I didn’t find out until February. At first, my ex told me she wanted to move out because she ‘needed space.’ Come to find out, she cheated on me and got pregnant. She tried to hide her pregnancy from me so I didn’t have to deal with it. My ex even moved in with the man she cheated on me with.
She deleted and blocked me on all social media platforms, had all of her family members delete me, and removed any mutual friends on social media so they wouldn’t find out what happened. Unfortunately, she forgot to delete my best friend from her social media. When word got out to my best friend, she came straight to me and told me what was going on.
I got a DNA test done, and sure enough, the baby my ex was carrying was not mine.
Every day after our breakup was a small struggle to keep my focus where it needed to be. I tried not to let the situation bother me too much. I knew I shouldn’t feel bad because I wasn’t the person who cheated, but I did care for my ex, and we were together for over four years.
It was tough being with someone for so long and suddenly breaking up. I felt so betrayed.”
“She Was A Garbage Human Being”
“A while back, I was in the emergency room with kidney stones. I didn’t know it was kidney stones at the time, I just knew it was the most pain I had ever been in.
My ex-girlfriend was pissed because ‘I wasn’t paying enough attention to her.’
Seriously.
I was in the emergency room hooked up to an IV with painkillers flowing through my system. At this point, I was only half-conscious, and apparently, I was a terrible boyfriend for not paying attention to her.
Everything came to a peak when I asked my ex, ‘Can you grab a nurse? Something doesn’t feel right.’
The emergency room had given me a lot of medication, and I felt like I was having an allergic reaction to something.
She replied, ‘Fine, I’ll just be your babysitter then.’
At this point, I just told her to go home. Her negativity was making me feel worse. Then, my ex got all pissy, threw a fit, then left the hospital enraged. The next day, I didn’t even call her for a ride back home when I was discharged. I called my aunt and had her drive me home.
The moment I got back home, I started packing up all of my belongings. If she had to be the center of attention and couldn’t feel any empathy whatsoever in my time of need, she was a garbage human being.
I didn’t want anything to do with her anymore.”
“She Tried To Guilt Trip Me Into Getting Back Together”
“I only dated my ex-girlfriend for a month or two. She started talking about marriage and having children after our third or fourth date. She would call me in the middle of the night because she needed help with things fully functioning adults should be able to do by themselves. It was small things, like lifting ten-pound objects and moving them from one place to another.
I finally broke it off with her when she told me I had to cut ties with one of my best friends because she was a woman. My ex didn’t want me talking to any other women, even my friends, since we were dating.
My ex ended up stalking me for over six months, threatened to harm me in my sleep, or call the police and falsely accuse me of harming her. She called me multiple times at four in the morning after drinking at bars. When I would turn my phone off, she’d send me 80 or more messages trying to guilt trip me into getting back together with her. Her other texts were borderline psychotic rantings and empty threats.
She eventually slept with some other guy, got an STD, and claimed it was my fault because I ‘forced’ her to sleep with someone else because I refused to be with her.
It was fun while it lasted.”
“She Would Do Anything For Attention”
“I had been considering breaking up with my ex-girlfriend for a while. She constantly lied about little things that made no sense lying about. She never cheated, but she would do anything so she would get more attention from me and others around her.
One night, she sent me screenshots of text messages between her and her father. I had known her father for a while, and the things he was saying in the texts were awful. The texts said things like, ‘You’re worthless,’ and, ‘I wish you weren’t my daughter.’
These were things I knew her father would never say.
I wanted to confront my girlfriend about the texts, but I didn’t want to make it seem like I didn’t believe her. I mean, what if the texts were real?
Then, I realized what was happening.
My ex was changing her contact information and texting herself to make it seem like it was her dad sending her all of those horrible things. This happened a few more times in the following weeks, but I just tried to be a good partner and play along.
Weeks later, my ex went to a concert with her friend. She drank too much, and she video-called me after the concert and said, ‘I know you’re still in love with your ex.’
I immediately replied, ‘What are you talking about?’
My ex explained, ‘I found the text messages between you and your old girlfriend.’
She sent me the screenshots of the ‘texts,’ which were just fabricated messages my ex sent to herself. My ex even went out of her way to use the same contact picture I had set for my old girlfriend’s phone number, and I didn’t even know how she found it. She was pretending to be my old girlfriend simply to start an argument.
At this point, I was sure the texts from her dad were all fake. I broke up with her the next day. Not dealing with the toxicity of the relationship anymore was freeing.”
