A guy was asked by his partner whether he was leaving her for someone else and said, “No. It’s just you.” Meanwhile, a different user blurted, “I just don’t want to marry you,” when the girlfriend asked when he planned to propose.  

“Oh, I’ve Actually Been Really Happy Since We’ve Been Apart”

A lady who said this explains she wasn’t trying to be savage to her ex, “It was the truth, and I just hadn’t realized it up until the thought of taking him back filled me with dread.”

It’s terrible agreeing to a breakup only to “want to double down on the relationship.” It gives off a desperation vibe.

Many female users resonate with this statement and are infuriated when guys ask for sex “one more time” during a breakup. However, one guy explains, “For a lot of men, being horny is the only way they know how to express any emotional need.” Talk about wrong timing!

“No One Else Will Ever Love Me”

An online user who dated a guy 14 years older than her explains why she said this, “He was an absolute blob of a person, and being with him was holding me back. He wouldn’t do anything for or with me unless it was in his interest.”

“I Just Don’t Enjoy the Time We Spend Together”

When an online user said these words, he felt, “It was true, and she was pretty selfish and entitled.” But he also felt bad for being brutally honest. 

“Maybe if You Were Someone Worth Being Around, People Around You Wouldn’t Be Itching to Leave You”

Online users point out that this statement is too cruel. However, the commentator explains, “I was in a really toxic relationship with someone who tried making me feel responsible for their happiness and wouldn’t let me go a day without trying to be by my side. He had some pretty strong abandonment issues.”

And she doesn’t regret her words because the guy was “clingy, annoying, controlling, and a narcissist” who sent her ‘into three separate episodes of paranoid psychosis.”
