57 Relationship Disasters That Make Us Question If True Love Even Exists

Just for the record. I never cheated on him and was literally homeless, sleeping in my car or at his parents', while dating him. I caught him texting multiple women off multiple apps, and this was how the situation ended. I’m at a loss for words right now. This was last night, and we haven’t spoken since, but wow.

So I dated this man for 5 years. He was sick one day, and my mom happened to be making homemade soup, so we went over there, he took a nap in her bed, and then we ate her soup and went back to the home we shared together. And then I guess around 3 am, he calls my mom, and she picks up the phone, thinking something is wrong with me. She says, “What’s wrong? Is everything okay? What are you doing?” He says, “I’m just touching myself, thinking of you,” And she goes, “Where is my daughter?” He says, “in bed next to me, asleep.” And then she hangs up, and these texts proceed. The next day, she picked me up, insisting on going to breakfast together, and she showed me the texts. Worst day of my life.

Also, I never cheated on him despite the “she's been with multiple guys.” I had never been with anyone besides him.

Context: I found a pair of rank women’s socks in a Ziploc bag in my ex’s drawer, after I asked him to borrow some socks. There was a note attached that said “I hope you enjoy your gift!”, so I figured he purchased them online. I had been in that sock drawer many times before and had never seen the bag, so I assume it was recent.

I asked him about it before leaving to get lunch with a friend, and this exchange followed. He had a history of being secretive with his phone, and on one occasion grabbed it back when a notification from someone named “Olivia” popped up. He explained it away as him ordering a custom painting for my birthday… 4 months away. My birthday rolled around, and I didn’t receive a painting. I did, however, on Christmas receive a photographic print of my deceased family member and pet that had been run through a watercolor filter, which he tried to pass off as a “custom, original” work that needed months of effort. I am a professional artist and know better than that.

I’ve been free from him for a few months now, but only after leaving did I learn that he was actually cheating on me the entire time we were together. all the while, accusing me of cheating. I’ve seen screenshots of him cheating from other people dated days before our wedding. This man had tears in his eyes reading his vows to me, but was cheating with someone else, not even a week prior.

From 2021. He kept ringing me, saying he’d messed up and was sorry, and this was his selling point. Quality because I just found it on my Snapchat stickers.

I never got a full explanation of what happened that day. All her friends knew (and two were directly complicit in the arrangement). These used to be my friends whom she stole (girl power, right?). My entire outlook towards women has changed. Earlier, I used to be nice to women just for existing. Now they gotta earn my niceness first.

The closest explanation I got from one of the acolytes was "I cannot tell you what happened, but it's a terrible, terrible thing".

We were together for about a month and a half. She gave that letter to me on our anniversary. That night, she made out with her friend as soon as I left.

"Sam,
At the time you're reading this, we’ve been together for a month. This past month has been one of the absolute best of my life. I remember absolutely everything I felt the night that we met. The butterflies in my stomach, the shyness of going up to talk to you, pretty much everything. I know sometimes I’m a bit much, and for that I apologize. Sure, we’ve had some bumps in the road, but that’s going to happen no matter what. You’ve honestly changed my life for the better, and for that, I just want to thank you. You always make me smile, no matter what. I love you, I really do. I don’t know how else to say it. This letter may not be as long as the first one I wrote, but that doesn’t matter because I’m telling you how I feel about you! All I know is I love you, you’re mine, and I’m yours, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!"

I saw an unfamiliar name on my GF's old phone. She upgraded yesterday and left her old phone here at the house. So yeah. I was curious.

So my boyfriend and I have been dating for a while now, and I've been staying at my uncle's house since I'm legally homeless. He's also homeless, for context.

Today, he texted me this. Today he hung out with this girl at her house, rubbed her feet, and admitted to loving her. There's also the fact that he said he waited a year to "shoot his shot" with her. I mean, I'm happy he's not staying in a tent for a while, but it still feels wrong? I love the guy, genuinely. He means a lot to me.

I set my ultimatum, guys. Told him that he has to choose. Either he stays with me strictly, or we're done.

He made his choice. Your girl is now single, and honestly, I feel happy about this. I'm gonna keep moving forward with what I was doing. Get on SSDI, get assisted housing, and love for once in my life.
