50 People Anonymously Reveal The Secrets They Never Dared To Tell Their Ex

That her passion and goals for her writing career did not match her talent and dedication in actually trying to achieve them.

Just because you know interesting people, that doesn’t make you interesting.

That she would make an awful mother and that’s why things ended.

That I know damn well she cheated on me.

Edit to add: I never told her because it would have benefited no one. As a result, we had an amicable divorce.

That she was a major catalyst in me making my life better. You we were my rock bottom. You made my life hell trying to help you and “fix” you.

It’s wild I spent the whole relationship terrified you’d out grow me, turns out I outgrew you and I am so happy. Happiest I’ve ever been. Go f**k yourslef.

I knew he cheated for about 2 wks prior to the break up. I kept trying to give him chances to come clean on his own. He never did.

That I felt the most at peace with him.

Her parents pissed me the f**k off. Her mom was always complaining about everything, and her dad was a covid conspiracy theory nut case.

That I accidentally dropped his Ducati on its side. Obviously I couldn’t pick it up, I was panicking and called a neighbor for help and both of us were able to pick it up. Thankfully nothing happened to the motorcycle. No scratches or anything.. but if my ex knew, he’d have a fit lmao.

How bad his cooking really was. The best part about the very unpleasant break-up was that I no longer had to eat his food.

The fourth time she stayed over at my house, she woke up crying in the middle of the night, talking like she was a kid, and saying how her family is at odds, and her dad hates her mom and thinks she’s ugly, but they can’t get a divorce because of Christian values. I just calmed her down and held her until she fell asleep. She suffered from Dissociative Identity Disorder and stress-caused episodes, so I don’t think she remembers it happening. I didn’t bring it up the next morning or ever in the three years we were together; not even during our worst fights.

I bought the ring from a buddy who robbed a jewelry store.

He would make mashups/ DJ mixes and play his own music in the car. And they were f****n TRASH.

That I broke up with her because she was just… too dumb.

I lost my virginity to her. Before we became a “thing” and she was just my friend I would lie to her about the women I slept with. This was in high school, man I still remember that night. Lmao, we ended up getting really serious, that relationship lasted 12 years. She would bring up the girls that I “supposedly” slept with and once in a while she would say that she ended up falling in love with a man wh*re. Lmao I never told her.

His apartment was an absolute horror show. Like I don’t know how he put up with how filthy, cluttered and depressing it was, and I honestly felt embarrassed for him.

That her family is and will continue to ruin her life. I have never met more narcissistic and pretentious, self diagnosing and delusional people in my entire life. I hope she finds the exit somehow, even tho she already had one.

That as much as I loved her, her lack of morals and social values meant we never had a future together. I could not imagine raising children with someone like her.

I hired a divorce lawyer the day after she took the kids from daycare and ran off to her moms.
I was so stressed that I lost 5 lbs in 2 days due to stress from this. I convinced her to come back and just ‘make it work’ for The kids sake. But I knew I could never trust her again. I stashed $, gift cards, kids clothes & supplies at work and my folks house in case I needed to get the kids and get out fast. That was 3 years before the actual divorce. I regret nothing but hanging on so long. Now happily remarried w full custody 8 years now. FU ex wife.

I let her win at card games sometimes. Winner usually chose the movie but I didn’t want her to feel bad by beating her all the time and I wanted to keep playing. I played A LOT of cards in university and could probably beat her 90% of the time.
