Staying in a relationship that neither person wants to be in can do more harm than good. Here are some suggestions for signs that it's good to consider calling it off and finding someone more compatible. For more relationship stuff, here are lines crossed by men's exes and red flags women saw on dating apps.

Someone on AskReddit asked for married couples to share the times a partner was caught in the crosshairs over a false red flag that looked like cheating. A whole lot of chaos can result from leaping to assumptions. For these people, it sounds like everything was a-okay, after all.
The replies to this Twitter thread about the most horrendous excuses people have ever heard for why someone cheated on their partner, are....astonishing. Words fall short for the lack of morals in these moments of shitty infidelity. Cheaters are just the worst.
This woman asked the people of Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for wanting to take her friend's ex to her wedding. The dirty history of the situation is everything here. Sounds like a whole mess. Probably best to just steer clear of the wedding when it's your friend (?) getting married to your ex. Yikes. Talk about a battlefield of red flags.
Someone on AskReddit asked for doctors and nurses to share their experiences with encountering couples that realized the kid was not the father's. Talk about a full-fledged nightmare situation. There's not really any coming back from that. The sobering moment of realization has got to be the living definition of soul-crushing. Can't even imagine.
This dad asked the folks of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for admitting during a marriage counseling session, that he regretted having kids. This confession comes with a statement from him, saying that he loved the hell out of them, but in hindsight realized that the whole parenting/marriage situation wasn't for him. To make matters more grim and complicated, his wife proceeded to tell their six-year-old about what he said. Ouch.
Someone on AskReddit asked for men to share their line in the sand, and when it was crossed by their exes. Everyone has their breaking point, and some people possess a staggering disregard for maintaining the kind of decency that respects those breaking points.
Someone on AskReddit asked for service members to share the worst of their "military wife" stories. The resulting stories are filled to the brim with brutal acts of infidelity. These are just plain old sad. We hope the service members affected by these cheaters have moved on and found people to treat them better in life.

Someone paid Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath via Cameo to breakup with her boyfriend, for her. This is so full of cringe that it genuinely makes us question reality. How can something like this actually happen? Yikes!
This guy had to suffer through an excruciating discovery, when he learned that his wife was cheating on him with his best friend. Pretty much a worst-case scenario situation. He managed to engineer quite the revenge though, and ultimately got the two terrible people he thought were like family, to hit their own self-destruct button.
This entitled married couple and their parking lot fiasco, with the hefty fines, was only made more ridiculous and dramatic by the fact that it ended in a divorce. Karen sounds like a total nightmare. Especially the part where she's suggesting that she can lie because it's her house. Uh, that's not how things work when the law is involved, Karen.
This guy's honestly better off. The story goes that he was working delivery for DoorDash, and ended up catching his now ex-girlfriend in the middle of hooking up with her "handsome co-worker." I mean, honestly him catching her like that; he really just dodged a bullet. Good riddance!
