If Only It Was You

Easy to Forget

Chosen Family is Family

Lack of Attraction
"He said, 'I no longer find you attractive,' after I tearfully asked why we don't have sex or even have any physical touch."
"We'd been married for just over 12 years at that point, and he had gained more weight than I had."
"That was this past November, and I began the divorce in April."
"There was more to it, but that still echoes in my head."
- snippyb***h
Just Too Much
"That I was ‘too much.’ Singing in the car? Too much. Resting my head on his shoulder? Too much."
"I was always ‘too’ something. Too loud, too quiet, too immature, too affectionate, too know-it-all, etc."
"It made me question everything that made me... me. It took (and is still taking) time to realize I shouldn’t change my core self to please someone else."
- awkward_turtle_2121
"If I'm too much, then go find less."

Incredible Avoidance
"'Sometimes I wish you would die so I don’t have to deal with us.'"

- lifeishard1090
Easy to Cheat
"He said, 'I knew I could cheat on you because I knew you trusted me, and it made it really easy.'"
"From a journal entry I came across: 'How do I even tell X I love f**king strangers more than I even love them, or even like them?'"
"(I looked after he cheated for closure because he consistently lied through his teeth, and I felt I was owed to know why.)"
"There went an eight-year relationship."
- Dangerous_Belt2859
Single Parent Trouble
"She only married me because I was a safe bet for her kids."
"I would have been fine with that in the end, because I still love those kids to this day, but she cheated on me, and I couldn't let that slide, so I ended things."
"One day, they will be old enough to make their own decisions, and I am staying available publicly so they can easily find me when they reach that age. And if they don't, well, I'll just be crushed the rest of the way."
- sregor0280
It's Been Decided
"'I don’t want to be with you anymore and there is nothing you can say to change my mind.'"
"I just heard this on Sunday and man that one hurt because I totally didn’t see it coming. We had a great relationship for three and a half years."
- Yeesusman
It totally makes sense why these were the worst things that these Redditors had ever heard and why they were unable to forget them.
While all people are capable of being hurtful, these comments really go above and beyond.
