breakup

Getting dumped is never easy. But getting dumped over text requires some serious self-reflection. I'm definitely not telling you to ask yourself, "What did I do wrong?" Rather, "How the hell did I let this dweeb into my life in the first place." Ladies, we need standards. Yes, it is always difficult to tell if someone is going to f*ck you over, and it's better to love and get hurt than to never love at all... However, if you're like me, we are also amazing at ignoring red flags really early on.

So next time someone disresp-exts you, here is all you need to pick yourself back up again.

Everyone gets ghosted sometimes. We are also all guilty of ghosting other people as well, sometimes even on accident. People used to have to go to great lengths to keep up a relationship with someone. If you set a time to meet up with a friend in the '80s, that was it, you couldn't text them and tell them that you're not feeling it 30 minutes before, you had to either show up or stand them up.  

Nowadays it is so damn easy to contact someone, but still, the thought of messaging someone back can sometimes feel like such an exertion of effort.  So, we ghost, and we get ghosted, and we make clowns out of people, and slowly we all become more and more antisocial. What a time to be alive.

People don't always end on the most civil terms with their exes. Relationships are complicated, and they don't always end ideally. But what if things ended with the dude 8 whole years ago?! Would you still even be in touch with them? The people of Twitter reacted to the hilarious anecdote with many questions and concerns. Why didn't she ask for more money if she was already putting herself out there? Why was he still on her mind after eight years? How was she not embarrassed at all? And did they end up reconnecting afterwards even though the original poster claims they didn't? Scroll down for this week's Twitter tea. 

Gone are the days when being an influencer was a fun side-gig. Nowadays, if you want to make it on social media, you have to devote all your spare time to building a following and creating an online presence. But when you're dedicating that much time, the lines between your real life and the life you're pretending to live online can become blurred. One guy learned this the hard way when he uploaded a video to TikTok showcasing his daily routine, in which he claimed to spend four hours a day cuddling with his girlfriend. His girlfriend clapped back, saying she barely sees him for half an hour a day because of the extra time he dedicated to growing his following on TikTok. In response, she created a video displaying screenshots of his recent attempts to cancel plans, proving how little time he actually spent with her. Her actions resulted in him losing a chunk of his followers, who claimed he was a fraud and a liar. Understandably, her boyfriend wasn't happy with her, but she posted her predicament on Reddit's Am I TheA—hole claiming her actions were justified. What do you think?

Every long, healthy, and meaningful relationship deserves proper closure. A discussion perhaps to emulate the mutual respect both partners share for each other. However, not all relationships end well, and some people don't deserve a proper goodbye. If you've seen quite enough red-flags and toxic masculinity in your partner, and you are more than ready to delete them from your life, but you don't have the right words... well you're in luck.

There is a thread blowing up on Reddit where people are sharing their best 'Break-up lines.' Many of these are short and sweet, oh and hilarious as well. Enjoy!

I'm not entirely sure if it would feel better to be dumped for a really good reason, like cheating, or for a super dumb reason, like eating a tuna salad. Either way, you're dumped. Knocked down from taken to single. It's never really going to be fun. But after some time you may be able to look back and think, "Lol I can't believe I was actually dumped for something so silly." It probably just meant y'all weren't meant to be.

Cutting off a relationship is a big move, you would think people choose very wisely when and for what reason they dump someone. Alas, we are all humans, and sometimes we just dump people for the most obscene reasons. What are you going to do if you suddenly see your partner in a different way? What is all attraction got deleted by seeing them in a certain light? Dumping can be harsh... but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

A big part of dating someone is getting to know their family. Because if you end up marrying them, they will inevitably become your family too. No one wants to take on a crazy family, especially if you already have one of your own, but what happens when your partner's family only shows their wild side once it's too late? It's hard to walk away from someone you love because of their family, but everyone has their limit. These Redditers shared their stories of breaking up with someone they loved because their family was nuts and some of them are wild!

Breaking up can be hard. There are a lot of emotions flowing, uncomfortable conversations, and of course the inevitable decision of whether to keep in contact or say, "Have a good life buddy." Whatever the situation may be, a lot of good can often come out of break ups. The more ridiculous they are, the better the stories someone has to share with their friends OR perhaps with Twitter.

When convincing my friends to take a leap of faith and pursue things with someone they think they might like, I try to push them by saying, "What's the worst that can happen? Either you break up or you get married. Those are the two options." But really, after further analysis, I can see now that there are really many MANY more directions a relationship can go in. I can think of 15 now, but until these apps manage to completely distort our dating experiences, and entirely hinder our ability to meet people ~organically~, well this is what I got for ya.

When it comes to dating, everyone needs to kiss a few frogs before finding their prince charming. And by frogs, we mean men who will let you down, screw you over, or generally disappoint you in some way or another. We've all had the 'pleasure' of dating, or kinda dating these men, but hey, at least they make for fun stories to tell our girlfriends, right? And now, instead of just venting about them, you can take it one step further and write them a public letter of disappointment, with the Instagram account To The Guys I've Dated. They help women get the closure they need after kissing yet another crappy frog by publishing short letters written by the women who dated them. Here is the latest collection of these hilariously sad but relatable letters, which might inspire you to submit one of your own.

If you're a woman, then chances are, you've either been in a relationship with or at least had a date with a man who made you lose the will to live. Men possess a unique talent for really grinding your gears and getting under your skin- and not in a good way—amirite ladies?  Imagine the satisfaction you'd get by writing him a letter expressing what you felt about him and posting it online for all the world to see (including, hopefully, his mom). Well, now you can, courtesy of the Instagram account To The Guys I've Dated, who post funny and real letters of disappointment from girls to their "exes." Each week, we bring you a fresh batch of these letters, so dive in and scroll through this latest haul, and then check out last week's in case you missed them.

We've all been through breakups where all we wanted to do was send our piece-of-sh*t ex a message telling them exactly what we thought of them. Because, well... closure. But, whether our friends convinced us not to, or our sense of pride got the better of us, we held back (until we had that second glass of wine). But now, the Instagram account To The Guys I've (Kinda) Dated has your back when it comes to getting the closure you need from any men who let you down. Simply write your ex a short letter, let them post it, and hope his whole family (and new GF) sees it! Simple.

When it came to romance (or anything else, for that matter), 2020 wasn't exactly the best year. Thankfully, 2021 has made an appearance, bringing with it endless possibilities in the 'love' department'. Ladies, it's time to cleanse your spirit (and lady parts) from all the f*ck boys you left behind in 2020. New year, new you! And just in case you need it, the Instagram account To The Guys I've (Kinda) Dated has your back when it comes to getting the closure you need from any men who let you down. All you need to do is write them a letter, explaining what your disappointing ex did to you, and they'll publish it on their account, naming and shaming him for the world to see. Closure never felt so sexy!

As with everything in life, relationships come with risks. Sure, you could fall desperately in love, get married, and live happily ever after. I mean, that's the dream, right? Alternatively, you could fall for someone, and just as you finally feel secure, they dump you in a soul-crushing, heart-wrenching act of cruelty, causing you to lose all faith and hope in love. It's a real gamble. And the truth is, being dumped suck. It can bruise your ego, make you feel rejected, and question whether or not what you had was real for the other person. But some dumpings are more brutal than others, and these Redditers are sharing the harshest reasons their exes ended their relationship. What's the worst reason someone broke up with you? Or that you dumped someone?

When relationships come to an end, it's usually a sad time for both partners. And I say 'usually,' because sometimes, breaking up can be the best thing to do so that you don't get held back by a relationship that doesn't serve you. But breaking up is a decision that most people don't take lightly, especially. Except for these people, who broke up for the pettiest reasons ever
