11 “Crazy” Ex-Girlfriends Share Their Side Of The Story
Article created by: Ilona Baliūnaitė
Nearly everyone has at least one romantic relationship that they regret getting into. Maybe the chemistry wasn’t right. Perhaps the partner was leading them down a bad path. Or maybe they were incredibly jealous, toxic, and took to stalking you when things didn’t work out. Whatever the case might be, when you hear about someone’s ‘crazy’ ex, it’s usually a one-sided perspective. Biased. Unfair. Superficial. Self-serving. Well, there’s always another side to the story that needs to be shared and heard.
The women of Reddit, who were called ‘crazy’ girlfriends by their exes, opened up about their side of the story in a series of brutally honest posts. Scroll down to read them below.
In the stories, some of these women explained just how toxic and insecure their partners actually were. Meanwhile, others were candid about the fact that they themselves messed up badly. It’s catharsis through anonymity.

I've definitely been "crazy". Snooped through phones, emails, etc. because I knew in my bones he was cheating (confirmed). It made me realize I never want to be with someone who I feel like I "need " to snoop on. Walked away after that.

After three years he broke up with me via text. I sent him bull testicles so he could see what balls actually looked like. I mean someone had to show him what he was missing.

Crazy ex gf. Whatever he tells people about me is probably true. My depression/anxiety disorders were out of control. I wasn't on the right meds and I acted crazy the entire relationship. I don't think he knew how to handle it and that's not his fault. I didn't even know how to handle it. 4 years later I'm married now, and not a crazy wife. Everything is under control.

In October of last year I had a miscarriage. I cried for the first 2 nights and on the third one my boyfriend said it was time to start getting over it. Here I am thinking were in the same boat and seeing him as my strength to only hear him say "Get over it". Gawd it destroyed me. He said it was because he didn't want to face it and seeing me like that was a constant reminder but I truly lost so much respect for him after that
#5
He was addicted to heroin for years and THAT'S why I was blowing up his phone constantly. I never told anyone what was going on with him but if he wasn't where he said he was he most likely had a needle in his arm. Back before he got sober he let people think that I was just obsessive when in actuality I was legitimately worried about him. Doesn't really matter now, we don't talk to any of those people anymore but my reputation still stands.
#6
I had an undiagnosed mental disorder and didn't understand how to handle emotions appropriately.
#7
I was meeting his friends for the first time. We all went out and then came back to his house for drinks. I'm talking to his friends getting to know them and be social. He's upstairs and talking to another friend. Girl walks in and goes up stairs I think nothing of it until his friend comes down and I'm being directed elsewhere.
I realize they're trying to distract me and of course since I'd been drinking everything was a lot bigger of a deal. I throw a fit and go and knock at the LOCKED door and might've start screaming because what else was I supposed to do when he guy your seeing is in a locked room with a pretty girl? I'm humiliated, can't be talked down and am alone cause they're all his friends. Screaming, crying and the like.
So that's how I became the crazy one.

Well I guess the biggest reason is because he never told me the things I did that bothered him.
Like it exploded at some point and things came to light that he never talked to me about once.
Like for example, whenever he told me he was going out I would ask if I could tag a long. When everything blew up this was one of his issues and I told him in disbelief "Why didn't you just tell me you wanted to be alone? Why leave it at "I'm going to XXX."?"
I may have never understood if he was just tired of me or tired of us or if all his reasons were justified. I honestly thought until that point we were okay, so I guess that made me "crazy".
#9
He never called me crazy, but if you ignore me for days after constant communication, I'm going to hide in a shadow on a street and wait for you to get home to see you're with your fianceé you conveniently forgot to tell me about.
#10
I never went crazy. I just got angry when I found out that he had been cheating on me with random strippers. His infidelity led to me getting chlamydia. So, yeah, I guess that makes me crazy /s
#11
I have Aspergers Syndrome that went ignored until I was eighteen. I didn't know what to do with my emotions, especially as he was emotionally/mentally abusive and that left me completely bewildered - so I kind of just went mental
