19 Heartbreaking Stories From People Who Realized They No Longer Wanted To Marry Their Partner
8. “I found out the guy was no longer working when I called to see why his paychecks hadn’t come in. (I handled the finances for us, and he kept saying his boss would be sending it.) It turned out he quit, and instead of telling me, he spent the next few weeks pretending to work. Instead, he started going to strip clubs with what little money he had hoarded.”
“When I went to break it off with him, he punched his hand through the wall and lost his mind. By the time he finally calmed down, he had turned strangely morose. He looked at me and asked if we could have sex one last time. My response: ‘No.’ After a long pause, he sifted through his pockets, held out a dollar bill, and said, ‘I’ll pay you a dollar to sleep with me. It’s all I have left.’ Needless to say, he left with a dollar in his pocket and no final goodbye.”
12. “For the last four days, my fiancé has decided to stay at her new coworker’s house either overnight or until well into the morning. I told her that’s ridiculously not OK to do when you’re engaged, even though she claims it was just stress relief playing video games with a new guy friend. We also have a four-month-old son that I’ve been taking care of for the past four days. She’s been gone, and I’ve been very sick with what I thought was a stomach bug.”
“Well, this morning, I fainted, and she insisted I just get some rest and maybe go to urgent care if I don’t get better. Then I lost my ability to keep any liquids down and was insistent that she take me to the hospital and then go home and take care of our son.
This was too much to ask, though, as she’d already made plans to meet this guy again tonight. She walked to her work and left her family behind to spend the night at his house.
I told her that if she chooses to abandon her family to spend time with another man, who I never accused her of cheating on me with, despite the numerous red flags, then her family won’t be waiting for her when she gets home. I involved someone in my family out of necessity, so my dad took me to the hospital, and his fiancé watched my son.
My fiancé’s last text said, ‘I can’t come home, so I guess I just lost everything.’
After multiple chest X-rays and an abdomen CT, it turns out I’m not sick, but the stress caused by my relationship started causing massive problems throughout my body. Oh, and apparently, I have a kidney stone.
I know it was petty, but when I got home, I just sent her a picture of our son and told her that this was who she chose to give up on tonight.”
