From Public Meltdowns To Strange Confessions, 38 People Share How Their Relationships Ended

I remember ending one relationship when the GF stabbed me in the back of the head with a pair of knitting needles while I sat on the sofa - because I wasn't paying her enough attention that day.

Was a lot of blood. On reflection, I was also somewhat disturbed that I didn't even know she knitted 😃.

Probably her mum threatening to send her stepdad round to 'have a word'. I was 16, he was an ex copper built like a brick s**t house .

Not mine, but happened to someone I know.

it was her birthday and she was throwing a party. midway through the party her boyfriend dumped her via text and then showed up to said party and made out with not one, but TWO of her friends.

Found out she was cheating a few months before birth (10+ years together, house, older child as well, ...). Had to do a paternity test after birth but tried my best to just assume it was mine, so as not to ruin the birth of (hopefully) my child. It was mine. Stayed around for a year or so because you cannot really do shared custody with a baby. I kept things as amicable as I could, which gave her some false hope (the other guy was out of the picture by then). Then left her, as I always said I would, and shared the kids 50/50. They're all grown up now.

Mine wasn't necessarily a breakup. They never broke up with me, really, they just quiet quit. Oh, and slept with someone they worked with and still somehow managed to marry the man she told me not to worry about. Angelic little sociopath.

It took me a long, long time to get over the fact that she had her daughter calling me Daddy whilst, well, planning her wedding.

Me and my ex were in a toxic codependent relationship for a year and a bit. We were absolutely terrible for eachother! We both had issues with alcohol and when I ended it with her she drank herself to oblivion every day for weeks on end. She wasn’t looking after herself so she got a tooth infection which she didn’t get treated, so she just took copious amounts of paracetamol.
The drinking and paracetamol ended up giving her acute liver failure and when I went to visit her in hospital the doctors told me to “say goodbye” before they transferred her to Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham as she might not have made it.
It was such a confusing and scary time I stayed with her and visited her pretty much every day for 3 months. At the time I felt riddled with guilt and responsible for her nearly d***g, but the toxic traits that broke us up in the first place were still ever present!! I was delusional to stay and think things might still change.
When she finally got out of hospital we stayed together about 3 weeks but I had to end it with her on my birthday after she threatened to hurt me.
I went complete no contact and haven’t seen her for a year and a half. No idea what she’s up to these days but I hope her life has calmed down and wish her well.
I’m in a healthy relationship now and a proud member of AA, so things do get better!!

Got talking to a really sweet Weegie guy. I’m an Edinbugger so we had that banter from the start which I loved. Didn’t want to meet yet but let’s talk. Cool with me, I don’t want to rush into anything either. Then he added me on Facebook after a couple of months…and after scrolling through some funny, silly memes I found……his wife. Calling him her rock and celebrating 17 years married. So….yeah, that was that! Fun times 😂

To add tho, I’m glad you got you and the wee one away from an a****r. I’m hoping things only get better from here for you. Stay strong, sister 💜.

An ex moved out whilst I was at college after work.

Picked me up after college as normal... Walked in the house and then I realised his sofa had gone. He then revealed he'd moved out with his two mates whilst I'd been at college that evening 😑

Honestly horrific. Not just the break up. The lies. But having two people in your house, uninvited to secretly move him out.

10 years later I've met a wonderful man and we are happily married. I can now recognise my ex was horribly a*****e, but couldn't see it at the time.

Well done for doing this. Protect your kids and I hope you are proud of yourself. You don't need a*****e people in your life. Sending love.

Not sure if this is unhinged, but my mate used to break up with girlfriends at the same bus stop on a 1 mile circular drive. He would ask them to meet him there and I would drop him off in my car, drive one lap and pick him up. He was very concise.

Ex cheated on me on Channel 4.

Edit: won’t divulge as I don’t want to give them any airtime, but I promise you it happened. All I’ll say is no one has got the show ;).

My ex threw a pint glass at my head.....I still married her but you can probably guess how that turned out haha.

Well done!

My most unhinged break up. Hmm.

Renting a house with my GF (at the time). Found out she was sleeping with a colleague from work.
6 months into a 12 month tenancy contract.

I broke it off, moved into the spare room and tried to be out the house as much as possible.
She was coming home with guys, maybe to make me jealous, but probably because she was a slag.

Anyway, i was on the phone to a friend and shes kicking off at me through the door, I thought she was punching it. Turns out she had a knife and was stabbing the door trying to get in. She left, took my car keys and my car.. I reported her for TWOC'ing. She got pulled over, drunk. Bosh.

Eventually got out of the tenancy early, LL was gearing to sell up so was happy to terminate, thankfully.

Since found out she had stopped taking her pill to try and baby trap me with either mine or her colleagues baby, about 3 months prior to me finding out she was cheating - this coming from her best friend.

So that was nice.

Mine stalked me for several weeks and phoned me up to read me a list of everything he didn’t like about me 😂.

We broke up and then went for a pizza. I wept into my four cheeses.

I don't have much of a story. My girlfriend at uni threw a glass of water at me while I was asleep in bed and yelled that I was s**t in bed, much to the delight of my flatmates. We broke up for a few days then got back together. She was mildly volatile but nothing serious.

Not me, but a friend got ghosted so she send him a bag of gummy d***s to his house.

I broke up with a girl when I was like 15 because she loved peanut butter and I couldn’t stand the smell.

Sorry to hear OP. 

I don’t have any real unhinged story but I did once finish with a girl because she ate too slow. 

She was beautiful, v smart etc etc but when we sat down and ate sausage sandwiches the way she tackled hers made me realise we had no future. .
