dumped

When the better part of the world entered lockdown, many a couple ultimately made the decision to cohabitate, for better or worse. Moving in together is a big step for anyone, but in a situation where you must endure the company of your significant other morning, noon, and night, things can get ugly. We teamed up with dating blog The Single Society to share what ultimately lead to their breakup while quarantining together. Have a breakup story? Share it here for a chance to be featured!

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

Gone are the days when a good pickup line was all you needed for a relationship. Sure, that witty opener might help you get started, but did you ever think about what you'd say if it ended? Nowadays, it's all about the creative breakup lines. Because, if you're starting your relationship in style (and by that, I mean total cringe-ness), then you might as well finish it with one too. Redditors are sharing their wittiest best breakup lines, that even Casanova would be proud to use. Which is your favorite? Or better yet, what's your go-to line?

People end relationships for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes those reasons are perfectly justified, but other times they are shallow and unwarranted. Of course, no one should stay in a relationship that they aren't comfortable in, but it does make you question why some people got into the relationship in the first place. Scroll through the reasons these people dumped their partner at the time, and they'll either make you feel better about your decisions or a whole lot worse!

Getting dumped is pretty brutal, however old you are. There's never a good age to be told by your SO that they no longer wish to be with you. At least when you're an adult you can (hopefully) use some tact when you're breaking up with someone and spare some of their dignity. But when it comes to kids, they have no filter and are brutally honest with the reasons for their breakups. Here are some breakup letters written by kids and they sting just to read them!

Love is a wonderful thing... when it's going right. Being in love can make your heart soar and you feel like you're on top of the world. Nothing can touch you! But when it goes wrong, it's like a giant kick in the gut and you want to die. Being dumped is never fun, but when the reason for being dumped is so ridiculous, it can add humor to the whole situation. An AskReddit thread requested the most ridiculous reasons people have been dumped and we've compiled a list of some of the funniest responses. 

If you don't have a partner, then you know what to expect for Valentine's Day: nothing. 

But if you are with someone, hopefully, you'll have a romantic day full of chocolate, heart, and love. But life doesn't always go to plan and for some people, Valentine's Day turned out to be far from the romantic day they had planned. These horror stories show that sometimes life can throw you a curveball when you least expect it; from being dumped via text, or getting food poisoning at your date's house, these tales will make you feel better about yourself whether you're single or attached.
