IVE GOT A GOOD ONE!!!!! Ended a four year relationship with a ex back in 2011 because for six months I had to literally beg her to respond to my call and txts. She would only respond to me during school hours. Our fourth year was the final straw. Christmas break was three weeks long and she flat out refused to respond to calls or texts. In the end she was ✨devastated✨ when I ended things with her. Long story short, three months later I get a text message from her saying how she still loves me. I replied with “I’m sorry you feel that way”
Story 29 resonates with me as I just got done dealing with a very similar relationship. Anxiety issues and alcoholism are not a good combo and when you lump in a burgeoning case of narcissism then that becomes the deal breaker for me. I still care about her but I can’t be in a relationship with someone who makes excuses for why they’re insulting me!
In one story, the op called his ex "a bipolar". I have bipolar disorder, diagnosed 40 years ago. I have been stable on medication for about the last 30 of that time. I'm commenting because I want to ask to not be referred to as "a bipolar". Bipolar is an adjective describing a person or a disorder. It's not a noun. Please don't reduce me or any other bipolar disorder sufferer to a mental health condition. Thanks. Edit: I'm not angry or anything. I'm just sharing how it makes me feel, and asking not to be called "a bipolar".
She had a crush from highschool come back into her life, she left me at a friend's party after telling people she had an announcement to make. She said she did that because she has a history of angry abusive relationships. I didn't think our relationship was going anywhere and was debating on ending it so it was kind of a relief. Because it was such a public break up her crush found out that she had lied about being single and didn't like that and cut her out of his life. She came back to me and said she was there to keep me from hurting myself. I was confused being that felt fine and breaking up was good for me. She got mad and said I'm faking happiness to spite her for taking a chance for chasing her dream. I should want her to be happy and shouldn't hold that against her. I said true, and she won't be happy with me, so please leave.
One of mine dumped me over text. They tried to get back into my life and I (respectfully) laid out exactly why I didn't want them anymore. Went surprisingly well.
My anxiety flares up whenever I think about any of my Exes. And no, I'm not saying they abused me, I'm saying I feel awful because uh... Well, I'm a little impulsive to say the least.
I have one. My ex decided to hit me up out of nowhere when I was at work. I had agreed to call her back when I was done. It was fine at first, small talk was awkward at first, then she said that she wanted to confess to me about something. And when she did, she admitted to me that she was a witch that she realized that she was able to channel the dead, including her ancestors, who let her know that she was one of the survivors of the witch trials. How she also grew to have a relationship with the Goddess, Hecate of witchcraft and from there. She says that Hecate made her realize that we would be a good couple or she convinced her to have us be together. Or at least being friends first, then after some more time then restarting the relationship. Being awkward and floored after all this said that I had no time for a relationship, that I don’t see this as a possibility of us being friends let alone being in a relationship after she cheated on me and tried to convince me that I was polygamorus (no shame, but I couldn’t trust her with that kind of relationship) and I called her mother and explained everything.
After not having seen nor heard from her in a year, after she'd left me, under false pretenses, no less, taking our daughter with her, I run into her at a custody hearing for our daughter, whom she'd left with her aunt and uncle, she'd claimed that she was interested in getting back together again. I was totally against this, but I wasn't going to tell her that and told her that "I'd Think About It", which only took 2 seconds and the answer wasn't just a simple "No", but it was a "Hell No", which I'd never told her that, as I knew that it'd piss her off and I didn't feel like listening to her bitching me out
Me and my ex broke up on good terms, was still friends and even still did stuff together. I ended up meeting someone else after a month or 2 and I really liked him. I told my ex that I found someone I like, you know just to let them know I probably won't be involved with him anymore, he wasn't happy. He ended up taking a train and bus to me with a hand written letter on how much he wanted me back. I read, he cried, I cried and I turned him down, even though I still had feelings for him, I wanted something new. With someone else now and we are getting married 😁 it all happens for a reason
Not me, but my sister. She had known this guy since high school and was convinced that he was her soulmate. They dated for years. He was her first everything, and then a year after they graduated, he dumped her. There were signs that it was coming, but she was still blindsided, and not too long after that, we discovered that he had been cheating on her for the last three months of their relationship. My sister suffered a mental breakdown and had to be put on suicide watch after our Mom found her trying to slit her wrists. She was put on medicine, and our family stood by her every step till she eventually got to a good place again. Then 2020 happened, and guess who reaches out to her. He spun some bullshit about how much he missed her, how braking up was a mistake, and how he never actually cheated it just looked that way. And because my sister still had feelings for him, she believed him. Now, don't go judging her too badly. At the time, her therapist was telling her to forgive him and move on. So that's what she did. She forgives him, but to her credit, she didn't immediately take him back. They started as friends again before it got more serious and turned into a long-distance relationship with them literally living all the way across the country from one another; east coast to west coast. I was against it when she finally told us she was seeing him again, but made her promise that if he did something like last time again that she would leave him and never talk to him again. She agreed immediately. Years passed, and things stopped adding up again. He's working two jobs while in the army, but he's always broke. He's trying to save up to come see her, but then she sees pics of him sitting front row at concerts on Instagram. Then my sister finds out that his brother is going to get married in the next state over from us and that he was going. She asks him if they can meet up there ( it would have only been an hour drive). He said no and that his brother wanted it to be a small gathering, so they were not allowed to have plus ones. Which, my sister found out was a lie because she fellows his sister on social media, and she brought two plus ones. She told all of this to a couple of her best friends, and they smelled bullshit and went internet sleuthing. That's when they found out that he had been cheating on her again for the past six months with a convicted heroine addict turned makeup artist. They found out a whole lot of things about him that he was hiding from her. Like the fact that he was discharged from the army already and was quite possibly addicted to oxi. She broke up with him via text. Including a screenshot photo of the other girl, telling him to never try and talk to her ever again before blocking him and his family on everything. After that, she felt like a weight had been lifted, and she finally saw him for the manipulating narcissistic gaslighter that he was. It's been about a month since then as of right now, and I can confidently say that she is doing so much better without him. Her only regret with the whole thing is that she feels like she wasted her 20s on that sociopath.( and yes, after talking to her therapist, they are both certain that he is a sociopath).
He's tried to text me twice since I broke up with him on November, once on New Years saying Merry Christmas for some reason then again a couple of weeks ago I've just never responded. I'd rather not give him a foot in the door

“Sorry, I enjoy my sanity and happiness.” I've never dated, but a complicated female friend who was bipolar.

Croikey, look mate, a wild bipolar in it's natural habitat!
Yeah, it's weird if someone refers to you as your mental condition, would feel dehumanizing

My ex left me after his house burned down and expected me to get an apartment for us while I was on welfare, but welfare only pays
Me and my ex broke up on good terms, was still friends and even still did stuff together. I ended up meeting someone else after a month or 2 and I really liked him.

My relationships have only been in VRChat so you can imagine have that went :/

13:05 For my girlfriend that also watches this ❤❤❤ THIS IS WHY I DIDN'T LEAVE WHEN YOU HAD COVID
My ex asked me back and I just sent him a picture me and my new girlfriend (I'm Pan) cuddling in bed together with our cats in between
He's tried to text me twice since I broke up with him on November, once on New Years saying Merry Christmas for some reason then again a couple of weeks ago I've just never responded. I'd rather not give him a foot in the door
first ? (btw your videos are great! :D)
Yes I agree
If my ex ever said, "I want to get back together" I would say, "Six hundred dollars, please." She would know what I meant. It's not what you think. 😩
Story 30, Jesus Christ..
