The concept of “Alpine divorce” refers to someone ending whatever involvement they’ve had with another person—be it a committed relationship or just a fling—and leaving them behind in the wilderness, usually in a remote and unfamiliar place.
It sounds scary and cruel, and I hope you’re one of the people who find it incredibly hard to imagine who could do such a thing. However, the phenomenon is gaining attention across social media, and quite a few women have come forward, saying they’ve experienced it firsthand.

Some similar happened to me when I was in high school. My high school boyfriend and I went fishing with a group of friends. The boys got the idea to drive to Florida, I’m from GA, so these boys wanted to go to the Everglades to scrape us by leaving us there which is alligator infested, I refused. They left us in Miami. Luckily I had cousins that lived in Liberty City. We literally hitched hiked, the guy was scared to take us all the way so he dropped us off and we walked. Got to my cousins house. Told them what happened, my cousin drove us back to my hometown in GA. I told my parents, my friend was inconsolable, my cousins, and brothers found my ex boyfriend and beat the brakes of of him and his buddy. They never played HS football again.

My ex left our then 7yr old on a trail by himself in a state park by himself for what he claims was just a few minutes but was long enough to freak out our son to the point that he still talks about it and doesn’t trust his dad to take him on trips like that. My in-laws were with them and found my son’s hysteria very humorous. My son found it traumatizing.

This is what mean spirited people do. My so called “friends” did this to me at an amusement park when I was 11. I was by myself the entire trip.
My former narc abandoned my 6 year old son and I while we were biking ride last summer, cause my son was having to much fun. Narc had my phone. Luckily we weren’t too far from home but I was so upset I fell off my bike & rolled my ankle. We made it home but I was pissed and I let the narc know he was wrong. No more bike rides with us a** hole.

I was once pushed out of a vehicle by my ex in -30C without a coat on, no phone, no wallet, he barely slowed down) and sped off to “teach me a lesson”. Left me for about 10/15mins before coming back and screaming at me to get in and “stop making a scene”. And that wasn’t even the worst thing he did to me. He d**d 6 months after I escaped

This reminds me of the story about the guy that took his wife to the middle of the ocean and just pushed his wife of the boat. She tried to swim back to the boat but a shark got her and k***ed her. Back then these instances were really acknowledged or heard of so they thought it was just an accident or horseplay. Now he travels the world preaching about respecting the ocean which is a mockery to me.

My ex took me snowboarding(my first time) backcountry. We hiked to the top. We strapped on our boards and he launched down the mountain without me. I had no idea how to ride a board, I had only ever skied.
I had to walk and find my way down.
I soon understood the term
“No friends on a powder day”

My first and last boyfriend took me hiking because he was a fan of free dates. The path wasn’t wide enough for two people but instead of having one person walk in front/behind, he took the bath and had me on the edge. Needless to say, I tripped/slipped a lot because there was a very slight slope going down to the path. Ex said he thought the noises of distress I made when I lost my footing were “cute.”

this is very weirdly validating to me. i had an ex and his father take me snowboarding one day for five hours. i kept up okay (i am a florida native) but i did hurt myself BAD that first day, crying throughout the night from pain. next day i’m forced to go skiing (ex’s dad wouldn’t let me stay at his place alone). i fell down at the bunny slope and cried because of the pain. made it down and my ex had disappeared. didn’t find him again for 4 hours.

2 or 3 years ago, a woman flew to a man to Arizona for a first date (she was in an other state) and all I remember was that he was a young cop.
They went on a hike....a HIKE.
After she FLEW SEVERAL STATES TO HIM. I'm not getting into how crazy I think that alone is.
But the outcome was that they according to him separated at some point, said goodbye and he went back home.
She was found dead on the trail somewhere. It was super hot that day but even if not, tell me why it was labeled an

My (ex) husband abandoned me and let bleed (then passed out) for hours when I accidentally cut my fingers and I asked him to take me to the hospital. When I wake up was so weak and I lost lot of blood, the next day when I gather some strenght I walk myself to the hospital alone. Afterwards I called for a divorce

Wow. This describes what happened to me several times.
One time we were climbing a glacier 14k foot mountain (while I was 8wks pregnant) and I started bleeding. He was going to leave me on the side of the glacier, on a steep pitch, in the dark. I got up and continued climbing.

When I was about 9 my sister had severe behavioral problems and was 3 years younger then me. One night she kept pestering me at bedtime and wouldn’t let me sleep. I told my dad a few times that she was disturbing me it went on for more then an hour and the last time I told him he threatened me. So I took matters into my own hands and slapped the sh*t out of her. Obviously not a good thing but when my dad found out what I did he made me pack my bag at like 10:30-11pm at night. He drove me out Of town to somewhere I had never been. I found out when I was older it was an old abandoned retirement/assisted living home. He told me I was going to “girls town” where bad girls go and he told me to get my bag and to get out of the car and sit and wait till morning and someone would come out to get me. I’ve probably never been more scared in my entire life. I sat there for what felt like hours crying and waiting and shivering. It was fall and probably 50 degrees and pitch black outside beside

An ex boyfriend brought his friend & myself hiking on his family’s land. We had to drive there & there were no current houses built on it. The terrain was climbing a few big hills on acres on a mountain to get to the railroad tracks by the river & back. I hit a beer can 1st try after his several attempts & he almost left me there, he walked so fast back. Thankfully his friend walked just slow enough for me to get to the car. I almost had an asthma attack.

A friend of mine went hiking with a group of people she had gotten friendly with. They all went camping someplace like Joshua Tree or something. She didn't do drugs but they all dropped acid. They went for a hike and left her. She may have had a water bottle with her. But she wasn't a hiker so she didn't have gear. A ranger found her after she'd wandered around alone and high for hours. They got her back to camp and everyone ignored her. They didn't even save her dinner.

Read a story recently where a guy is on trial for leaving his fiance while climbing a mountain.
They passed the point of no return in bad weather and he "went to get help". Apparently the park service or something similar had reached out to him before and he silenced his phone after that. Then when he left his girl he made zero attempt to get her shelter of any kind.

Dude took me on a lil downtown ride around “date” really more of like vibe night. I’m from the burbs and he was from the city (Chicago) we had been together for a few hours atp and i just noticed his phone constantly going off. First i ignored it but after after the 10th call i knew for sure it was a woman cuz he was still ignoring the call. When i adored why he asked me out if he had a woman he got mad and kicked me out his car at like 11:30 in Hyde park. I called my grandparents and let them know i needed an uber and they called me one. He had the nerve to spin the block and try to get me to still go with him. My uber pulled up and i left. He harassed me for months after. The only time I’ve ever been left anywhere and i haven’t let nobody pick me up since

Just this week we saw the ending of a court case about a guy who left his girlfriend to freeze up on the highest peak of Austria this winter. She had no alpine hiking experience, he had a lot. She told him she couldn’t make it to the top, so instead of taking her down he went alone, leaving her waiting in the freezing cold. By the time he came back, she was unable to descent with him. He left „to get help“ but by the time help arrived, she was d**d. His ex says, he‘s left her alone in the mountains before, because he found her to be too slow and they argued about the route.
He got off with a fine and 5 months probation. Far too little if you ask me.
