31 Men Reveal The One Unforgettable Phrase That Their Ex Said

By Thought Catalog,
Some of these are absolutely heartwrenching. Why? Because you know that if they had met at a different time, they’d be the happiest couple. Some of the things that were said are devastating. How could someone say to that to someone they had once loved? Found on this Reddit thread.

1. Holy crap

“I’d leave you for the person you used to be.”

2. That’s sad

My ex and I were having a hypothetical conversation about going through “thick-and-thin” situations and how we’d react to it. She asked me if I’d continue to love her if she was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. I told her I thought it would be a huge change, but I could deal with it because it would only be physical. It wouldn’t change her personality.

I asked her the same question, and her reply was “Absolutely not. I have needs.” I thought she was joking at first, but she was dead serious.

Needless to say, I didn’t see her in the same light anymore.

3. Right. In. The. Feels.

Girlfriend of two years broke up with me in 2011 because she wasn’t ready for a serious relationship. Last week she sent me a message on Facebook and said “Even though we didn’t work out, I’m glad you were my first for everything.”

God damn, right in the feels.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
