Reflecting on a relationship with a former partner can bring up a lot of emotions: nostalgia, anger, regret, sadness, and sometimes relief. In some cases, it’s only after you leave a relationship that you realize just how problematic your partner was. Whether there was cheating, jealousy, body shaming, or otherwise unacceptable behavior, it can be helpful to vent about the things that were truly unhinged.
Women took to Reddit to share some of the most “outrageous” things their exes ever said to them:
Excuses for Cheating:
“‘My dad cheats all the time. It’s not a big deal’ EXCUSE ME WHAAAAAT.” –luckyygirly
“We need to leave this party, I can’t stop fantasizing about your friend over there.” –At_least_be_polite
“This is why I cheated on you.” –richard-bachman
“Those panties on the bedroom floor ARE yours. You are very confused if you don’t recognize your own panties. (Not my size or anything like what I wore btw).” –Vic930
“I broke up with him when I found out he was cheating on me and in one of our last conversations he said ‘I wouldn’t have done this to you if you were pregnant.'” –We_The_People_626
Insane Jealousy:
“That I couldn’t have guy friends in case I cheated, and shouldn’t have girl friends in case I became a lesbian and cheated.” –bethkatez
“He was jealous of my plants and dog for the attention I provide them. Dog was puppy and house training at the time. Well, the man is gone but I have a super rad dog with amazing recall. Win.” –pine_scented_rua
“The time he accused me of cheating on him with his step dad solely because I talked to him when I was over there…” –holiestcannoly
Rude Body Comments:
“‘You look like a 12 year old boy with no boobs.’ After our 4 year relationship.” –Celestialfox1425
“‘Look at how cute your body was when you were freshly 18’ Note, he did groom me, he just only got ‘those’ types of photos out of me once I was 18.” –Trick_brat324
“‘Your body is so amazing, just imagine how it would look if you actually worked out’ – My first boyfriend when I was 15 lol. The worst part is that he genuinely meant it as a compliment… Anyway, I work out all the time now and look great. He’s ugly and bald.” –seaweed-breath
“We were just sitting on the couch chilling. He said ‘you should do weight watchers.'” – bside9
“Called me ‘top heavy’ and gave me a list of exercises to fix it.” –Willing_Vehicle_9457
Other Unhinged Comments:
“That my miscarriage was good because the timing wasn’t right. We had been married for 8 years at that point. Turns out it was a blessing because I sure am glad to be out of that marriage.” –Sufficient-Mud-687
“A few months into our horribly toxic relationship, telling me he’d talked to his mother about how she and his father made their relationship last and he said ‘You just stay. Even when you HATE the other person and you’re completely miserable, just stay anyway.’ Like sir what the f*ck bye.” –smolbeansjpg
“On the second anniversary of my mom’s passing, he tried to initiate sexy time. I was crying and when I told him why, he asked, ‘You don’t wanna have a sad cum?'” –blank_obsession
“When I got a job in academia and started to pursue a PhD, my ex husband said: ‘don’t worry, you didn’t get a job because you’re smart. You got a job because someone there wants to f*ck you.'” –TheChristmasCat
“He let is slip that he was falling out of love with me because I wasn’t his mother lmfao.” –Pisces_3one4
