what are some reasons you broke off a relationship/friendship

friedchickenwing · 22-25, F
friendship. There were many

-One person was clingy and narcissistic and would only come after me to tell the same stories about themselves and their crush which they knew I disliked. I dropped countless clues I wanted to be left alone but they'd ignore it and keep prattling on while standing 1 foot from me.

-Another person, I'm pulling away slowly because he turns everything I say into a debate. He's unhappy and because he disapproves of my critical nature (never to the person's face of course but I complain a lot about people I find less considerate than me in private chats), it's like he's on the lookout for anything I say he can possibly be defensive or condescending or aggressive about. He only does it to me and it's alienating to see him treat me this way and then turn around and treat everyone else differently. He's one of those people who thinks that only his feelings are correct and doesn't question them.

-One person was just flat out abusive. She's not very conventionally attractive and had a crush on my old crush. She was very misogynistic, flat out made remarks about female inferiority, and said she didn't respect our feminine-voiced student teacher because 'she doesn't respect herself and talks like she's crying'. She would always make dumb snarky comments (ex: I'd ask "Is X why you want to take this class?" and she'd say attempt to be sarcastic, throw me this look and say, "No, it's because I want to take the class". Like well duh.) and make snide remarks about my appearance and once threw a pear at my head.

There were many others but they just faded out of my life as opposed to me deliberately avoiding them.

Fuck those fuckers!
Perfect timing with the question D. Both situations were due to my wellbeing, I suppose. I really don't appreciate being taken for granted and having my feelings crushed. It's an awful feeling.

It's incredibly difficult to move on, but a single punch is a much better move than withstanding random punches at their convenience.

I ended a friendship because I gave up drinking and my friend couldn't accept that so our friendship came to an end. I ended a romantic relationship because the woman in question insisted in talking about how many kids we should have, what car we should own, where we should live and etc. She had our lives planned out beforehand and she also informed me that she had a fertility problem that could be sorted with medication that would probably result in her having more than one child at a time. I was 18 and that scared the crap out of me so I ran to the hills and didn't look back.

My friend tried to convince me that my now ex was having an affair. He may have been many things but NOT a cheater. It turns out that it was my friend having the affair. I lost all respect.

@theowl: She wasn't cheating with my ex, she was having an affair with an old flame of hers. She wanted me to believe that my ex was cheating I guess to make it seem ok that she was having an affair, as if "everyone does". My ex didn't cheat.
SW-User
oh thats crazy and narcissistic a bit.
curiosi · 61-69, F
@theowl: It was quite cruel, I know my ex he wasn't a cheater but you plant that idea in someone's head..................

-She was a bitch
-He complained to me about not being able to masturbate 5 times a day like he was used to AFTER I told him I wasn't comfortable with him talking about shit like that
-Was a racist asshole

um what

They were married and not getting a divorce as I was led to believe.
SW-User
why were you going after someone who was married?
Steve42 · 56-60, M
@theowl: I wasn't. She was an old friend who said she was getting divorced. Didn't take long to realize she wasn't.
SW-User
@Steve42: so she played you.
Usually it's just one reason and that's because they weren't what they were supposed to be..

I've never broken off a friendship but I've broken off a relationship because of him trying to change me
SW-User
Too touchy feely to the point it was fucking annoying.
LadyWioness · 56-60, F
Dishonesty is the biggest reason why
SW-User
Incompatibility, lack of trust, and stagnation.
SW-User
They didn't bother anymore.
