Couples break up — that’s just the way relationships work sometimes, and the reasons for that vary. According to a 2017 Scottish study, 40% of couples cite “growing apart” as the main reason for their breakup. Other common reasons for divorce or separation were constant arguments, infidelity, and a lack of respect or appreciation. But some folks might start contemplating a breakup after hearing their significant other say or do something so ignorant that it does more than just raise an eyebrow.
Recently, the user @baileyartstudios started a discussion on Threads where people shared times they were shocked by their partners’ sheer ignorance. “I want to know the most ridiculous thing an ex partner of yours believed (like the girl who’s boyfriend doesn’t believe stars are real),” the user wrote. After reading some of these, we’d say breaking up was probably the right choice.

He didn't believe in food allergies (of which I have plenty) because you "can't be allergic to something you need to stay alive"

He believed computers were built with alien technology. Because somehow humans were too stupid to have figured out microchips?

Mine thought London is in Florida. And when I laughed he asked if it's wrong because Florida is actually part of London. I swear he didn't have the looks to be this stupid. Don't know why I cried for him for so long

My ex, who knew that I grew up in Europe, asked me, "when you were over there, did you get to see the Willy Wonka factory?"
O... M....G. like, baby.... it's a movie. It's not real. That man was 27 years old.

My ex believed Elon Musk was black because he had a parent from South Africa. He also didn’t know South Africa was a country and thought it just referred to the region. He never believed me even when I showed him official maps and evidence for both claims being wrong. Just narcissist things ig

My hs bf got very upset when I went to a wedding and joined in for the bouquet toss because I ‘wasn’t single.’ We were not married and I stood outside the wedding for an hour trying to explain to him that ‘single’ in this case just means not married and the person who catches the bouquet is supposed to get married next. He woukd not let it go.
