It's summer, and love is undeniably in the air everywhere. But do you know which season is the worst for most couples? According to data from Facebook status updates, December 11th is the most popular day for relationships to end.
It's impossible to predict whether two people who are in love are going to break up or not. Yet some researchers have tried to do just that and found that there is a 10% chance of couples breaking up during their first year.
Recently, one person started a discussion online about the 'last straw' incidents that made people realize they had to break up with their partners. The person posted a thread online with the question: "What did your partner do that made you leave them instantly?"
From upsetting tales of cheating to some disgusting habits and behaviors, we're glad these folks are no longer with their partners!

Sucker punched me in the head after I told her she couldn't tell me who I could be friends with.
The next morning she made it clear I made the right decision by pretending she had a car accident and was in the hospital.
Edit: Forgot to add the following evening I was going out for drinks with coworkers celebrating a promotion. She tried to crash it with a few friends dressed up like they were a bachelorette party. Thankfully she arrived before us, I walked in saw her and walked right back out again and texted everyone a new location.

It had been roughly a year and a half seeing each other, and one day, she asked me to buy her a doll off vinted cause the seller had blocked her. I said no, as I figured that I didn't wanna go around the seller choosing not to sell to her. I got 3 days of "buy me this doll, please buy me this doll, if you loved me you'd buy this doll". On the fourth day, while I was at work, she sent me a string of abuse calling me every name under the sun because the doll had sold. I just said "not doing this any more, I'm breaking up with you". Abuse turned to days of begging and pleading before I was able to get my stuff and discontinue contact with her completely. Then she drank acetone, but that's another story.

I walked in on him performing fellatio, on my cousin! I’m a woman, I’m straight, thought he was too! Edit - for clarity, it was a heterosexual marriage.

Screamed at me for entering the car while she was having a private conversation with our friend (I had no clue, I was just walking back from ordering takeout at a restaurant).

Letting other women use my s**t when I was gone. Ran into a girl that I had suspected he was cheating on me with. She had my shirt and shoes on. I immediately raced to his house to get my stuff. He freaked out when he saw me. Told me to be quiet and asked what I was doing there. I went to the room and bathroom to get my things and a different woman was in the shower. My make up and straightener had been used. To this day I dont have a bottom retainer for my teeth and the last place I used it was his house. I swear someone took it. I'm not even kidding. This guy would also refer to me as his "future ex wife". But the final nail in the coffin was him throwing me across the room by my hair because I wouldn't grind and kiss the strippers at a club we went to.

He had told me he was single, then he said separated from his ex wife. Turns out he wasn’t, I was stupidly obsessed with this guy. So I gave him some time to fix “his situation” after weeks he said she was out of the picture, obviously she wasn’t. One night I was about to make us dinner and she started calling and texting him so I asked what did she want? He said “I don’t know, but don’t worry I’ll tell her I’ll go to bed so she leaves us alone” he then went to take a shower. While he was showering I got myself an uber, left and never saw him again. Ohh and I called the so called ex wife to let her know. Surprise! She obviously didn’t know about me either… so yeah, not sure how he fixed that

Directly discovered she was cheating on me. So I took some pics, sent them to her, then threw out her stuff and blocked her number and also didn't answer the door when she came to my place. I completely ghosted her after that despite the fact that we had dated for more than a year.

If I didn't give it up at least twice a day, I was told how bad of a girlfriend I was and there was no point in even being with me since I clearly didn't care about him and his needs. Every time I tried to leave him, he would guilt me back in. On our 6-month anniversary, he told me I wasn't putting enough effort into my b*****b. I got up, said I'm done, and left.

In 1973, he bribed our five-year-old daughter to speak into a (borrowed reel-to-reel) tape recorder and tell about all the beatings that mommy gave her. Being five, she told me all about the role playing and how she was saying the lines for the 'play'. I confronted him, he screamed at the 5 y/o and said he couldn't 'trust' her.
Anyway, he was planning on a divorce, which in his fantasy involved sending me away with 'nothing' and his girlfriend would move in and take care of the five-year-old and my year old baby. He would keep everything, including the house.
He left as, being the narcissistic chicken he was, he didn't want to get get shot. In the back. With a 30.30 rifle.

I didn’t leave immediately, but my feelings evaporated with my ex after his mother forbade him from seeing me after my mom died.
He was in the closet, so his parents never even knew we were a couple, I was just a “friend from work.”
But I realized in that moment I’d spent 3 years of my life in limbo while he was too scared to do much of anything.

I found he was recording our most intimate moments without my consent. And found out later he had downloaded them to his work computer and had done this to others.

He had Grindr on his phone, 6 days after our one year anniversary and 13 months after we *deleted* our dating apps. It wasn’t just on his phone, he sent me a screenshot and it was his last used app, as if he was switching between using Grindr and texting me. I asked him why he had Grindr on his phone and he said “Idk why that’s there, my bad haha”. He knew why and I knew why. So I dumped him.

8 month relationship left me alone at a party of her friends, I knew absolutely no one there and after a few small talks with random people and about an hour just wandering, I finally left after not being able to find her.
She called me a few hours later drunk as f**k saying she was getting a ride to come over. Never showed.
Found out the next day from one of the small talk people I met there that she was trying to hook up with at least 2 different guys at the party, so I ghosted her. She tried to get back with me for a few weeks and then a year later left a sobbing voicemail wanting me back. I never answered and that was it. I learned a lot from that one.

Our marriage counselor told me that he had stopped engaging in therapy and is refusing to do anything that isn’t for himself. She suggested I take a break from him and think about what I truly want out of our marriage and if what he’s offering is it because that’s all he said I would get. I came home, told him I wanted to take a break for a couple days and I was staying at a friends. He called me a selfish c*nt, threw out sand unity glass at me from across the room, blocked the door as I tried to get out of the room, grabbed me by the arms and threw me on the bed. Said he was leaving for a minute and I better be gone by the time he got back.
I packed what I could and never looked back. He texted me about 15 minutes later saying “the first time I’ve ever listened to him and maybe we could make this marriage work after all if I come back”. I have never deleted that text to remind me any time after that I felt I still needed him. Complete narcissist.

Broke up immediately after he unilaterally cancelled the couples’ therapy sessions I’d planned for us - for the second time - after I’d made clear this was the single most important thing for me and after he’d agreed to them.

Told me he was only with me for my looks. He wanted me to chase him, I ghosted him instead. He harassed me for two years after that.

He had the audacity to tell me he was jealous that someone got to f**k me when I was skinnier. B***h you didn’t even brush your teeth every day! You get a small rash and called yourself a monster and hideous. You were inconsolable FOR DAYS after losing a softball game that didn’t even have a starbies gift card on the line. Told him he didn’t deserve the air I breathe and broke up with him. Guess what Travis, I’ve lost 45lbs you baby back b***h.
Edit: thank you to all the sweeties saying such lovely things! This was a year and a half ago and I literally cried that night and then never again for him lol been blissfully single since spending quality time cultivating beautiful female friendships! 10/10 would recommend decentering men.

We had been married for 4 years. We had never had a s*x life.
I told her that I was struggling, and needed things to change.
She told me the problem with our s*x life was me, if I would just get over it, everything would be fine.
I divorced her in that moment, but it took about 6 months to end it.

Every two weeks like clockwork she would start being pissed off because she had a hard time doing the things she once loved. I tried telling her that she needs to go to the doctor, see a therapist etc. and she would start getting violent to the point of being physically a*****e. She would NEVER apologize. She thought all of this was justified. She was homeschooled with 4 other siblings, I imagine that had something to do with it. Got the f**k out and its amazing.
