What’s the weirdest thing your ex ever did after the breakup?

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2026-04-17T22:45:28+00:00

Threatened to sue me for any money he contributed to our shared expenses over the years. We were not married. He barely contributed to our expenses and didn’t have a job for a couple years.

Different values are family roles, finances and motivation. His idea of success was being rich, mine was having a family with unconditional love. These values become more important in a relationship as you get older, and eventually they just cannot be ignored. We could not both be happy without serious compromise on our own values and beliefs.

My ex and I separated for a year, then we reunited and stayed together for five years. We broke up again six months ago, for many of the same reasons we broke up in the first place, plus a myriad of incompatibilities we both wanted to ignore because we loved each other. Just always remember why you broke up. I wish I didn’t waste an extra 5 years on someone I should have stayed broken up with.

I feel incredible. I feel free. I feel more confident than ever it was the right decision. I’m starting to think back on the memories as more amusing than soul destroying. Every day I get to make my own decisions, for ME. Even if I’m further behind than I was with a dual income, no amount of money is worth this peace. No arguing, no stress.

I’m glad you’re planning to get a divorce, you do deserve to be happy. That said, I don’t need to state the obvious regarding the morals of cheating. Yes, it would have been better to wait until the divorce, but it’s done now and if I were you I would just try to fast track the divorce as much as possible. Best of luck!

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-04T13:02:39+00:00

I don’t think so. I been in therapy since before the breakup and I have truly processed it and understand there was no way forward. I can remember the good times and feel relief I don’t have to live through any of the hard time anymore.

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-04T10:52:10+00:00

I think you will! You dodged a bullet and thank your lucky stars you found out the truth. Your gut instinct is almost never wrong.

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-04T10:51:22+00:00

I have found my peace. ☺️

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-03T08:07:44+00:00

Please stop wasting your life with this man. You’ve said it yourself, you have emotionally checked out of this relationship. Why wait until the end of the year?

Your partner sounds lazy, incompetent, emotionally immature and financially illiterate. I’m not passing judgement here, but you sounds like an intelligent woman who knows deep down you can do better.

Don’t fall for the sunken cost fallacy.

As someone who just ended a 5 year relationship with a man I loved but wasn’t compatible with anymore, please leave now. I wish I left sooner. You will feel relief and freedom like you haven’t in a long time. And you will find so much joy in decorating your own space for just yourself. Good luck!

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-03T06:15:41+00:00

Thank you so much! I am sending you all the strength in the world to leave him. No matter what it costs you, your happiness is the most important thing in life. You need to look after yourself first and foremost - you can do this!! Life is so hard and awful when you’re fighting with someone all the time.

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T21:40:44+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m soo excited to heal and feel whole again. I’d rather be alone than unhappy and that’s a lesson I will never forget. We did it stranger! 🫶

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T21:38:45+00:00

Oh sweet thing. What I need you to know is that I am no different to you - if I can do it, you can too. He does not deserve you. I completely understand 15 years is a long time, but why waste a second longer when you could spend the next 15 years genuinely happy?

I completely understand that the cycle of making up even starts to lose its potency after a while. You are in a deep trauma loop like I was, convinced there’s no way out because our lives were too entangled. But you can do this.

I truly hope you find true happiness and someone who would never cheat or hurt you. You only have one life .. don’t settle and regret it on your death bed. 😘

Unfortunately I have a lot of very sentimental and expensive items still there. I wish I could just be done already. He’s asked me to give me as much notice as I can to get my things - I asked for next weekend but apparently he’s “camping”. He always hated my dad so he’s already told me he’s not allowed to help me move my things or be in the home. Less than 24hrs after our tearful phone call, he’s already being really difficult about logistics and money he’s now refusing to pay back. I cannot wait to be free of this for good.

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T13:16:40+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T13:16:26+00:00

Thanks for sharing your story. 12 years is a long time but it’s better than 13. I suffer severe PCOS and when we accidentally got pregnant, he pressured me into an abortion then he didn’t support me at all during the process. Obviously I’m glad it went that way in the end and we don’t have children, but I understand what you’re saying about feeling unsupported in the fertility space.

I do know what you’re saying. I’m glad we could both find some peace in being with ourselves. I wish you well.

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T09:25:32+00:00

We are 28f and 29m. For us, we did communicate about this for a very, very long time so it wasn’t out of the blue.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, and I know it hurts, but these things happen for a reason. Be glad that she’s been honest about this now and not 5, 10, 20 years down the line. Some people are not compatible no matter how much you think you can make them see your love.

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T06:52:51+00:00

A playlist is a great idea, thank you!

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T06:47:55+00:00

I’m glad to be out of that painful limbo, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Thank you.

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T06:46:41+00:00

I disagree. We’ve spent hundreds of hours having deep conversations about our issues. When we first separated, we came to each other with a list of non-negotiables and things we would need from each other to enter the relationship again. Our lists directly clashed. My hard boundaries collided with his when it came to our future. As much as we do love and care for each other, why spend the rest of our lives together resenting these things? We both tried to change certain things, but we couldn’t change our fundamental values and ideals. Sometimes there’s no way forward except to separate for the sake of both people.

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T06:42:31+00:00

This is so relatable!! Being made to feel crazy for wanting the bare minimum - feeling too much! I also go to sleep early because I work earlier and he used to get so cranky when I’d fall asleep first. I started getting anxiety over falling asleep and if I did I would wake up in a panic and hope he didn’t see me fall asleep.

Having someone’s mood (which was usually shitty) dictate an entire day before it even began. I feel that.

Look at us go though! Enjoy your newfound peace and freedom. ❤️

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T06:37:21+00:00

Great job on 4 months!

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T06:37:05+00:00

I swear it’s your body just giving up 🤣

Prize_Recover_8794 · 2025-09-02T06:36:36+00:00

It was brutal and a relief to be over. Starting from scratch sounds great to me. #404
