Bad breakups may come with the territory when we're talking about dating, but no one could have been prepared for this dude's reaction. He really goes through the full range of human emotion, calling himself a loser one second and then calling himself a lion and a king the next. First of all, a lion and a king? Who is he, Simba?! It's hard to read this cringe exchange without thinking of your own similar experience because everyone has had one. Heck, I've been on both sides of a breakup, but I'…

There are subtle ways to get back at your cheating ex who owes you money, and then there's this . This Redditor took things up several notches by filming a five-minute video in which she and her friends told off her ex-boyfriend who had recently reached back out after breaking things off three years ago. For some context, the two had been living together for several years and he owed her $600 when he decided to leave her for someone else. It turns out that the other relationship ended up not wo…

Imagine you're in what seems like a perfect relationship, thinking you've found "the one." Then, out of the blue, your partner drops a bombshell… they want to find someone who shares their faith, so they break up with you . No hard feelings, right? Well, not quite. How would you feel if, less than a week later, your ex is not just dating someone new but is ENGAGED? That's precisely what happened to this Reddit user. But wait, there's more. When U/ MoreRespect20 confronts his ex, she denies ever…

Have you ever had a nasty breakup where your ex tried to take something that was rightfully yours? Maybe it was a car, a TV, or even a pet. Well, one Reddit user had to deal with a cat-napping ex who thought he could hold their beloved kitty hostage, but she wasn’t going to let him get away with it. The story involves a toxic relationship, a fake death, a tattoo that went too far, and an orange cat named Tigger (also referred to as Dinglebumb). It’s a story of deception, drama, and determinatio…

There are people in this world who manage to convince themselves that everything happening to them is someone else's fault. These aren't the people you want to be working with, living with, or dating. Rather, these are the people you want to avoid at all costs, but sometimes, you don't know that you're dealing with this kind of person until it's too late. That seems to be the case for Emma, the best friend of this Redditor . OP shared Emma's story via this thread on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople su…

In a shocking twist, a Reddit user recently found himself facing a challenging and unexpected situation in his relationship. After enjoying six months of happiness with his girlfriend, the couple decided to take their commitment to the next level by moving in together. He thought he had discovered the perfect match, but little did he know that she was about to drop a bombshell that would shatter the illusion of their seemingly picturesque relationship. Faced with this revelation, the boyfriend…

People are getting candid online about why their relationships are falling apart. No, the answer is not because Mercury is in retrograde, although if you haven't noticed, there have been an unusually high number of breakups and divorces this year among public figures and celebrities. If we look closer than astrology, which is not exactly my preferred method of analysis, there seems to be a disconnect among partnerships about how to even be in a partnership anymore. Part of that is because of th…

Trying to get back together after you've burned a bridge is a lost cause. It's kind of a Sisyphean task and a pointless one at that. If your relationship crashed and burned, you must be in an even worse place if you're trying to get back together. There's no way you could be well-adjusted. If you were, you would have recognized that the damage is done and that it's just better for everyone involved if you walk away and stay away. Some of us, however, are not this smart. When I was in my early t…

The only names you should ever have permanently tattooed on your body are the names of your kids, your parents, and your deity– those things are never changing. However, a boyfriend or girlfriend's name permanently etched into your shoulder can prove to be a little riskier. You may think that'll you'll be in love forever, but that tattoo is a heckuvalot more permanent than most relationships.

Sisterly loyalties only go so far, and when one woman's sister, the bride, thought she'd play god with her own sibling's relationship, things backfired. Frankly, weddings bring out the cringe in all of us. Whether you're a sorry sap that cries during the vows (guilty as charged), the distant aunt who reminds the bride that they used to change their diapers, or you're the guest that drinks too much at the open bar, there's some social mixing that brings out the worst in everyone.

Cheating on your partner is a serious offense to most, but these people took it in stride.

Sure, it's important to have standards, but some of you need to chill out. There's a fine line when it comes to dating between having high standards for the purposes of self-empowerment and having high standards because what you're looking for is so specific that your mystery partner simply may not be human. Knowing your worth and knowing not to compromise on certain factors is an essential part of your growth as a single adult. It's often part of what dating in your twenties is all about. Howe…

Everyone knows at least one toxic couple. They're the ones at every social gathering that find something to bicker about and they're the ones you always see on social media that are obsessively raving about each other before deleting every couple picture they have. Who can stand the whiplash? Well, some of us like to gobble up the gossip when it comes to these toxic kinds of relationships and recently, a man shared the dish...

This is what happens when you take advantage of your relationship. In an ideal partnership, each partner gives their fair share. Of course, not everything under the sun can be 50/50; that's unrealistic given the state of the job market. However, a good partnership requires compromise and a fair breakdown of each individual's contributions. We know that most partnerships do not function like this and that when these ground rules are never set up, oftentimes the whole partnership ends up on uneve…

There is nothing more stressful and complex than a friendship breakup.

Sometimes, things don't work out for bizarre reasons.
