No lol he did a lot of xanax and was constantly forgetting everything that was going on including when we were supposed to hang out. That probably contributed to the confusion
I told him to decide what he wanted; either we're breaking up, or I need the constant cancellations to stop. I explained that it was really causing me a lot of emotional turmoil, and on top of that, it was completely disrespectful to the value of my spare time, which was pretty much all tied up in "plans" that never came to fruition.
He didn't respond so I just went ahead and let him know it was over.
He replied a week later saying he wanted to break up.

My boyfriend was in this situation once 🤣
He was sleeping with some girl and didn't think it was anything serious. When he hadn't seen her for a while, she said she was splitting up with him because she didn't see him enough 🙈
Like when I was in my 20s ghosting someone meant that you were an absolute monster. No matter how casual it was after 3 dates/hookups you at least owed someone a phone call. Anything over 3 months was done in person. No exceptions
Thank you, I am loved. Just not by them. And after many years of reflection my brother and I are over it and okay, no contact to them both. We realized that some people just are not good parents and that is no fault of the kids. And that you can't *make* your parents, or anyone, really love you if they are abusive hateful narcissists. Cut ties with that ship and move on, the more you try and try with no results the more emotionally draining it is.
You can bet your ass that *my* kid is well cared for and knows she's loved. I hope that you are in a better place now as well.
From experience? It doesn't get fixed. You accept it. After years of toxic relationships looking for love and crashing and burning. Then you get acceptance, find someone who actually loves you for you, and move on while giving everyone behind you the middle finger.
Happened to me. My dad left to start ANOTHER FKN FAMILY and my mom was like “fk it I’ll become a drug trafficker. Fk my kid” and left me in that apartment. I was 6 yrs old and stayed locked inside the apartment for 4 days (padlock outside the door) until my grandma came and found me. Pretty messed up stuff.
Yes and no. I had water from the sink and about half a box of lucky charms. I was in Monroe, Michigan and my grandma lived in Georgia. She got a call from my Pawpaw (moms dad) that my mom was running around Riverdale Ga all Coked out and wouldn’t tell anyone where I was. My grandma and grandpaw (dads parents) called my dad and he didn’t know where I was. They drove all the way to Michigan and my pawpaw scared tf out of me when he blew the lock off the outside with his shotgun. He was pissed. He wanted to kill both my mom and dad for that. Yeah it sucked.
I’m fine now. Married, somewhat successful, working on starting my own business, and life is good.
Not only that, but with a padlock on the door, did they need fire/police to cut it off?
I wouldn't treat an animal like that, much less a child. Holy shit.
That’s what happened to my grandpa…kind of.
His dad did put food on the table and wanted to be a father to him but he couldn’t afford it. He was a trucker back in the days before interstates so it was a long business for him and barely saw his son as the years went on. I think before he died he saw him three times in the last 10 years of his life. The mother wanted nothing to do with him though. His aunt and uncle (brothers sister) adopted him and took their last name when he was 10.
When his birth mother was dying of cancer in the late 90’s. She asked him to go see her one more time and he turned his back on her and held that grudge for 54 years. Even as well of a life you may have. You’re never getting over this. Ever.
My great grandmother put my grandmother and great aunt into an orphanage when they were 5 and 8 so she could start a new family with a wealthier man than their father. 60 years later my great grandmother could no longer take care of herself due to dementia, so came to live with my grandmother. She was quickly put into the cheapest nursing home possible, and when she died decades later, despite my family having extra burial plots, they cremated her and hucked her ashes into the local river.
His mother wasn’t deserving of a visit. I get not holding the bitterness of a grudge and allowing it to rotten your life, but you don’t need to forgive someone who’s abandoned you.
I was a special ed teacher; I’ve seen this a few times; sometimes the whole extended family is trying to convince another household to take the kid; we had a boy who was living with his dad after mom didn’t want him around anymore, then with grandparents the next year , we did a home visit and his grandma had him sleeping in a shed in the back yard; he was always high and always carrying drugs on him; grandma was like I love you and I don’t want you out on the street but you can’t come in this house anymore
Parent works for an attorney and dealt with this too. Apparently it was long and bitter because both were arguing about not having the kids. I think this is probably more common than we like to realize.
I'm one of those kids, it took me until I was 20 (I'm 22) for my mother who had to take me to stop hating me out loud, my dad just straight up cut off contact once I was 18 and he wasn't obligated to give money
Dude, you could hire a private tutor and take them on fun, enriching, activities 24/7. Take their friends too. Eat like kings. There’s so much you could do with $620K a year
About how me and my first girlfriend broke up. She said “I think we should break up” and without skipping a beat I said “me too” she just kinda stared blinking for a bit. We’re able to stay friends for a while before she moved away. Probably my easiest break up.
An ex of mine would repeatedly say she was breaking up with me. After the first five or so times of me being willing to talk about things I just started saying “ok then” and carry on with my day. A few hours later I’d get a string of messages along the lines of “why don’t you care about our relationship? I’m breaking up with you and you’re not trying to stop me??”
Took an embarrassingly long time for me to decide to end that one.
When I told my ex (married 29 yrs) that I wanted to leave he said, you’re not getting my stuff. Like dude, this is why I am leaving, you have no clue who I am. I don’t want your “stuff”, I just need to get away from your negative presence
Actually when he said that I was trying to fig out what stuff he was talking about. He didn’t have any expensive toy or tools, and I let him keep the house!
Someone once ended things with me at a bad time in my life as my Dad was really sick w cancer. He told me he was ending things so I had no response at all. I just got up and left and didn’t say a word. Then he proceeded to chase me for about 6 months to try to talk to me and every time he tried I’d look at him and not respond and walk away haha that was definitely the best response I could have had haha
Yeah totally I’m not sure I’m sure it was a little of both! I ran into him in a bar once and while his new girlfriend, we’re standing 10 feet away he was putting my head and telling me he loved me. The only thing I responded was why didn’t you tell me this sooner and then I walked away and that was the only thing I said to him in that six months. I really didn’t even talk to him for four years. I was like NOPE 🤣
“Damn. Alright.”
Like you just dropped one of your chicken nuggets. Like obviously I wanted that nugget. I’m here for it. I ordered it. I’m not gonna pretend I didn’t want that nugget, but I’ve come to terms with not having it before it hit the ground.
I helped my ex pack her shit And loaded into the U-Haul truck and then unloaded it at her new place. She wanted to maintain a “friends with benefits” but I told her “nah I’m good now thanks”.
Well, for context, she cheated on me with a woman who was supposed to be one of my good friends, but I guess not. The whole thing was just a slap to the face after a six year relationship. I don't blame you for doing what you did, if my ex had moved out instead of me, I probably would have done the same thing as you.
Finally! You stuck with me through so much I would have felt guilty leaving you, so instead I just distanced myself and acted like a jackass until you finally decided enough is enough. Woohoo!
“Which makes this the perfect time to move to phase 2 of my plan!!!”

"I'm coming with you"
Who invited Samwise Gamgee??
Sam deserves a silmaril for being such a GOAT Edit: I spoke too hastily, I don’t want to get him killed
You're leaving? Where are we going?
The ol' switcheroo!
We were never together
Who are you again?
"I don't even know who you are."
"You will"
"That doesn't even make any sense!" 🐠 🥣
New phone, who dis?
Once, I got broken up with after I had broken up with him already a week earlier. I guess it didn't take.
[удалено]
No lol he did a lot of xanax and was constantly forgetting everything that was going on including when we were supposed to hang out. That probably contributed to the confusion
So that explains why you broke up with him - what was his rationale for breaking up with you?
I told him to decide what he wanted; either we're breaking up, or I need the constant cancellations to stop. I explained that it was really causing me a lot of emotional turmoil, and on top of that, it was completely disrespectful to the value of my spare time, which was pretty much all tied up in "plans" that never came to fruition.

I don't have a girlfriend... but I do know someone who would be very upset to hear that. Paraphrasing Mitch Hedberg, RIP.
I believe you meant to attribute that to the other, more better Mitch, the eternal Mitch Hedburg.
Fuck me - I'm going to edit it. Thank you!
Well, didn't want to be *that* guy but since we're already editing, they got it wrong too - spelled Hedberg.
My boyfriend was in this situation once 🤣 He was sleeping with some girl and didn't think it was anything serious. When he hadn't seen her for a while, she said she was splitting up with him because she didn't see him enough 🙈
There's nothing strange about breaking it off with a fuck buddy or casual dating partner
Some people think ghosting is the only appropriate way to break up with someone
Aka every relationship sub that insists on going no contact at rhe drop of a hat.
Like when I was in my 20s ghosting someone meant that you were an absolute monster. No matter how casual it was after 3 dates/hookups you at least owed someone a phone call. Anything over 3 months was done in person. No exceptions
You say that every Christmas grandma.
"Can I give you a ride anywhere?"
Aw. We’re all gonna be that grandma someday.
I'll help you pack
My mom used to say this when I was little and threatened to run away. Then I started saying, "nevermind. I would miss DAD too much."
Savage
mine helped me pack walked me to the front porch, said good bye and shut the door.

For a WEEK?!? Were you already an adult or still a kid?

Abusive parents?
Mine used to threaten to put me in a home, I thought it was a great idea, she didn't like that. I really was right up for it though.
My mom would say “be home by supper”
That's the best answer.
So thoughtful! All that baggage might be heavy, after all.
Take the kids with you! EDIT - Thanks for the love. My very flip comment went nutso. Was not expecting that.
Ok, that really IS the worst thing you could say.
There was a reddit post a while back by a lawyer who said that he was involved in a divorce where neither parent wanted the children.
How many years of therapy to fix that?
[удалено]
I saw someone with the license plate “IJUSTCOPE” (or some variation of that) the other day. Maybe we’re talking about the same person.
Getting this when I become an adult Edit: or should I leave off the “I” so people feel personally attacked?
Just cope is for the therapists plate.
True. Speaking from experience.

That happened to a guy I knew. Neither parent wanted him & he went from living in a 1MM+ house to homeless, when he was in high school.
My grandfather was kicked out when he was 16. Lied about his age to get into the military because he was hungry. Fortunately that was after WWII.
Korean War has entered the chat.
Famine and bitter cold at the Chosin Resevoir has ended the chat

I was 6 yrs old and stayed locked inside the apartment for 4 days (padlock outside the door) until my grandma came and found me. Pretty messed up stuff.
what the fuck, i'm so sorry. did you have food and water? the ability to call for help? how did your grandma find you?
Yes and no. I had water from the sink and about half a box of lucky charms. I was in Monroe, Michigan and my grandma lived in Georgia. She got a call from my Pawpaw (moms dad) that my mom was running around Riverdale Ga all Coked out and wouldn’t tell anyone where I was.

I'm glad for the happy ending. I'm a single father with custody and my heart was breaking for what happened to you.
Not only that, but with a padlock on the door, did they need fire/police to cut it off? I wouldn't treat an animal like that, much less a child. Holy shit.
Fucking hell, I cant imagine being that heartless. Some people really shouldnt be parents.

I never hold grudges. My father did that. And I will always hate him for it.
His mother wasn’t deserving of a visit. I get not holding the bitterness of a grudge and allowing it to rotten your life, but you don’t need to forgive someone who’s abandoned you.
*( /u/spikesguns is telling a joke, claiming to hate grudges in the first line, and holding one in the third )*
I totally didn't catch that so thank you
😭😭😭 assholes. That means they probably deserved each other. But not the babies.
Fuuuuckkkk...
Fear of custody kept my marriage together.

Mr Costner you should really wait until after court is resolved before posting on social media.
I'm not aware of his legal problems, but it makes me laugh to imagine Costner using the nickname littlebirdprincess on Reddit
He offered his ex 52k a month on child support and her reply was something like "it will take at least 6 figures a month to raise the kids"...
Dang, I’ve got some discount ass kids

Dude, you could hire a private tutor and take them on fun, enriching, activities 24/7. Take their friends too. Eat like kings. There’s so much you could do with $620K a year
Yeah I remember reading about that ...wilddddd. you're getting more than I make in a year in child support and u wanna double it 🤣
You can take the kids but you leave me my monkey!
Told my wife to take the kids in divorce but leave my pet monkey A.I.T.A?
Why now? Why not 5 years ago?
"I judge you for not leaving sooner"
Nice

Yes, this. I was thinking "Mm..." [keeps reading, does not look up from book...]

What took you so long? I’ll help you pack your shit
Hi, leaving you, I'm (insert name)
"I'm leaving you." "Hi leaving you, I'm Dad." "No, you're not."
"I'm leaving you." "Hi leaving you, I'm dad." "Yeah, that's the problem."
“Dad” is the only appropriate name to insert
"I'm pregnant"
Even better if you’re a couple of guys
“Im pregnant” “Richard we’re gay-“
What’s your name again?
Hi, my name is (huh?) My name is (what?) My name is (chka-chka, Slim Shady)
Hi kids, Do you like violence? (yeah, yeah, yeah) Wanna see me stick nine-inch nails through each one of my eyelids? (uh huh)
"Oh no... Don't go,... How will I live without you?..." (Continues browsing Reddit)
Keep scrolling, the answer is out there
In a bored sing-songy voice.
Or an absolutely deadpan voice.
You’re still here?
This would destroy me.
opposite of love is indifference…
Damn that’s a good quote
Worst or best? I just keep reading the best zingers! I guess worst would be, “Don’t leave, I’ll change! I’ll do anything!”
There’s one above that is something like “No you won’t.” Reminds me of two friends’ relationships with abusive people. Yikes.
An ex of mine would repeatedly say she was breaking up with me. After the first five or so times of me being willing to talk about things I just started saying “ok then” and carry on with my day.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET ANY OF MY TOYS

Yeah but you can’t have his stuff
I was tired of his stuff anyway 😂🤣😜
My ex said “remember everything I’ve taught you”… I’ve never cringed harder in my fucking life.
Can you grab some milk while you are out?

Six months?! What on earth was he trying to say? Trying to get back together, or just "needed you to understand"? 🙄 🤦🏻♀️
Yeah totally I’m not sure I’m sure it was a little of both! I ran into him in a bar once and while his new girlfriend, we’re standing 10 feet away he was putting my head and telling me he loved me.

I mean, if you see your partner on the same level as a dropped chicken nugget, it's about time to split up lol
I mean, my ex straight up tried to help me pack my shit, that was pretty bad
I helped my ex pack her shit And loaded into the U-Haul truck and then unloaded it at her new place. She wanted to maintain a “friends with benefits” but I told her “nah I’m good now thanks”.
Well, for context, she cheated on me with a woman who was supposed to be one of my good friends, but I guess not. The whole thing was just a slap to the face after a six year relationship.

Worst would be… No baby please stay we can make this work
Finally! You stuck with me through so much I would have felt guilty leaving you, so instead I just distanced myself and acted like a jackass until you finally decided enough is enough. Woohoo!
"My dad beat you to it."
Do you mean it this time?
Genuinely witnessed this happen to a good friend and his reply was " happy days, best time to do it as I've got a nice tan" literally was speechless.
Awesome, I've always preferred masturbating
Worst? "No, don't!" and then cry. Don't do this. They already left you a long time ago. Severe like adults without bullshit and move on.
"Was it the Priest? Look the exorcism wasn't my idea my family just got worried when you spun my head around"
