There are few things more painful than realizing this is the end of a relationship you hoped would last. And even though the “it’s over” moment can be heartbreaking, sometimes there’s no other choice but to end things. Especially when your partner clearly doesn’t care about you anymore; if they ever did in the first place.

Members of Reddit’s ‘Ask Women’ community discussed their experience with such partners in a thread started by the user ‘Street_Salt_1973’. They asked the women when they realized that their partner didn’t care for them, and quite a few were willing to share. Providing answers that cover stories ranging from aggravating to heart-wrenching, the members showed that lack of care can be enough to bring the fairytale to its final chapter.

Women Share How They Realized Their Partner Didn't Even Like Them In This Excruciating Online Thread When I explained that I'd been feeling depressed because playing music is my outlet and I'd been really missing it. I bought a keyboard for the extra bedroom which he didn't notice for 2+ months. When he did notice he told me to get rid of it because he doesn't want "extra junk" in his house. I only played with headphones and usually when he wasn't home but he told me if the keyboard didn't go, I had to. So I took the keyboard and left.

He noticed but he was thinking of a reason to hate it because it was something that would take away the attention towards him or something that made you happy, that was not him. There was no reason for him to get rid of it, so he just made something up.

While I think in this case you're probably right. *If* the OP was in the habit of buying random stuff for the heck of it I could see the husband being upset and wanting to get rid of it. That said, the post doesn't come across that way. Normally someone who is a hoarder or compulsive buyer wouldn't be talking about playing music as an outlet. Since it's the shopping/hoarding that's the outlet.

How do you even end up with such a moron? Regardless of any else, whoever doesn't support music - whether they like THAT kind of music or not, regardless also of your level, skill, ... - is a bad human being deserving ... at least deserving not you, but less.

    Women Share How They Realized Their Partner Didn't Even Like Them In This Excruciating Online Thread He's an ex-husband. When I begged him not to tell me what happened at the strip club because I knew I'd use the knowledge to torture myself, the first thing he did when he got home was brag about the lap dances he got and how hot those women were compared to me in an attempt to upset me because he wanted attention. It didn't work and I ignored him, so he punched my chair. We had problems before that, but that night killed any respect I had left. Things deteriorated quickly afterwards. On a bright note, my boyfriend now has never even raised his voice at me. At every opportunity he tries to make the choice that would make me feel the most safe, loved, and respected. If your current partner is showing that they don't care about you, leave. There's a better life out there for you. I've never felt more lucky than I do now.

    If it's just for themselves I'd tend to agree. But it could be for a friends bachelor party or a 21st birthday party or something. I still find it weird that some people think that's appropriate but some people do. A friend of mine was going to go to one as a sort of afterparty for his 21st party. About half a dozen of us went but by the time we got there is was around 2am and everyone was pretty hammered. There was a cover charge that was pretty steep and someone started trying to haggle about the price. In the end we just walked away lol Only been inside a strip club once, a co-worker convinced several of us that they served really good steak meals at a really cheap price and you didn't really have to watch/interact with the strippers. Yeah, the steak was just ok, it wasn't cheap and the girls literally walked along a catwalk right next to you table and stop to talk with you while you're eating. So it was really uncomfortable. He had a great time and the girls greeted him by name.

    Do it before you’re trapped; with kids, with finances, with age. It’s a real thing. Don’t commit until you’ve been living together for at least 4 years. I realize this doesn’t work well with religious families but understand this; you don’t really know someone until you’ve lived under the same roof. (4 years isn’t even enough time but it’s the shortest I’d recommend.)

    I never understood this. Ok, people may very well have provoked a lot of bad happening to them. Fair enough. But even before any explanation, he jumps to a conclusion that likely even exceed the other side's view on this, ... he's an idiot for not listening and not judging without sufficient grounds to do so on. And also, for not being supportive, regardless of you provoking the other person or not.

He just pestered me for sex the whole time and then guilt tripped me when I said I didn’t want to because I was feeling so rough “you mean sex with me would make you feel worse/wouldn’t make you feel happier….

    A couple things I see about this scenario: I could see him being oblivious if they normally split the bills or pay for their own food. If she usually paid for her own meals he may have just assumed she didn't want anything. Second, why did she have no money with her? Normally if you're going out on the town you'd carry money right? The answer to that is important, if she was broke (or forgot her purse) then she could (should) have told him and he should have offered to pay. On the other hand, there are people who act like the guy should pay for everything. The "a date is a free meal" crowd. That said, they'd been together for two years, so that seems unlikely.

He was at the pub with his brother, I hurt my ankle (looking back I think it might have been broken but at the time it just thought it hurt a LOT) and called him to ask him to come and help me and he didn't.

He finally agreed after I begged for half an hour. He complained for the entire drive, and stopped at McDonald's on the way to buy himself food while I was screaming in pain. It turned out I had a kidney stone. When we left the hospital, all he said was "I hope you're happy, now I'll be tired all day tomorrow."

    I guarantee this same man will be trembling & going into shock if he sprained his. I’ve been in this situation; entire leg crushed, pushed out of socket at hip, knee, & ankle. Didn’t call an ambulance & stopped for a soda before he showed up to take me to hospital. I ended up having a neighbor call an ambulance. He was upset I “wasted” the money. LEAVE! It’s so incredibly wrong!

    I returned to Australia in 2021 following a horrible journey back to Scotland (where we got stuck for 3 months) after the murder of my older brother. When I finally got out of hotel quarantine, I witnessed my sister reuniting with her partner who ran to her and hugged her like he was never going to let go. When my partner of 10 years picked me up from the airport, he looked irritated and like he didn’t want to be there. I hugged him but he barely returned it. I found out a few months later he had started talking to other girls online while I was stuck in Scotland dealing with the fallout of what happened to my brother. ETA: He’d been an ex for almost a year now.

    Women Share How They Realized Their Partner Didn't Even Like Them In This Excruciating Online Thread I fell and twisted my ankle one evening after he had dropped me off for my evening class. Someone riding a bike had to actually go after him to stop him from driving off completely and leaving me there. When he came back to me he was super annoyed and asked me what he was supposed to do about it. So I made him drive me to the urgent care. He then proceeded to make me take my heavy backpack inside with our 2 small children and left us there. He wanted to go get high on drugs. I couldn’t even walk and was so embarrassed and angry. I had to call my mom to come pick us up once I was done because he wouldn’t answer the phone. The entire time my ankle was sprained he never once offered to help do anything. This is one of the many reasons he’s my ex 🙃

    Assuming the go and get high was referring to something harder than just weed it's not surprising he acted this way. He was in a much more demanding relationship. I get that it's hard if you've been together for awhile but I couldn't imagine staying involved with someone doing hard drugs because that's all they care about.

    You can ALWAYS delay getting high. What you can't delay is countering withdrawal, but ... any decent addict has and should have so much with them that would get them through at least one day without needing any else. That said, it doesn't sound like he was suffering from any of that, but was just an egoist AH. Were he experiencing serious withdrawal, I'd have some - not all - understanding for him, the impatience this can send you into isn't nice on the inside either, ... but I'd also advise anyone and everyone to NEVER let a perosn drive during serious withdrawal, for reasons of great enough obciousity to not need being mentioned.

    OP, don’t demean yourself with some deadbeat a*****e. Wait for the magic when a truly wonderful guy comes along. Believe me, it’s so worth the wait. Even if he didn’t get takeout, my hubby would at least fix me a plate of food himself, either fresh once I got home, or put aside a cold plate or a hot meal wrapped up to microwave, for me to eat when I got home. I waited until I was pushing 40 for him. Looking back on previous boyfriends, I’m glad he’s the only one I wanted to marry. Totally worth the long wait.

It was over that week. Had to end it.

    He wanted me to go to the Big Box hardware store with him. I said I didn't feel well because of the heatwave. He insisted. I asked that he not run off in the store and lose me, (like he always did). Well, I nearly fainted and he was nowhere to be found. A nice employee brought me a bottle of water and helped me to a bench. He yelled at me on the drive home saying I did it for attention. We got home and I laid down and he came in the bedroom to yell at me some more. Yes, he's an ex.

    Same as the other one. Her procedure was an emergency, so he couldn't have known beforehand and e.g. go to sleep earlier. His family move was most likely planned months ahead, so he could have gotten enough sleep to feel it safe to drive. It's absolutely baffling how many people think that having a driving license means you don't need sleep or rest and should be up to driving at any insane hour. Refusing IS caring here.

    Same as before, you get up and go with your partner. It's an emergency. She could have fainted, gotten into an accident, or needed extra help. You get the f**k up and go. Christ, you're obtuse. It's like when I had to explain in graphic detail to a guy I was seeing why I don't want to get into an Uber all by myself an hour after waking up from general anaesthesia.

    I think the clue is in the "tinder" shown on the phone screen in the image. Tinder is a dating app, and if you like a girl, you shouldn't really think about dating anyone else at the same time.

    From the context (title of this post says “partner”) I’d say yes, they were exclusively dating. Length of time doesn’t matter in this case if you’ve agreed to be exclusive.

And then again when I was only hours from having heart surgery and he chose that moment to tell me he didn't love me anymore. Now I'm with a guy who actually loves me and I regret ever giving that thing I used to date the time of day.

Imagine his disrespectful a*s at the funeral. I wouldn’t really blame them if her family threw him into the nearest empty grave and buried him alive. It’s way more than he deserves.

    During a fight, I'm begging for him to use kind words. No verbal abuse, stay quiet and listen to respond, just have a real conversation. He tells me "that's not who I am, I'm not changing for you." Idk why it took so long for me to realize, but he just doesn't give a s**t about me. I realized he would continue doing that as long as I am around to take it.

    A guy moved to my city for law school, and we hit it off. Four years together, but never said boyfriend/girlfriend, despite being exclusive. Right before he graduated he said (I kid you not) "You know this will never work, right? I'm going to be a senator, and I need a blonde wife from a good family. I'll never love her, but it's what I need. Part of me will always love you, but you're not the right aesthetic." Sure enough, he was married to his ex within six months. At least I basically went to law school.

She went on and on about how she was so out of my league that I should have known, it was my fault for being so stupid. We had been together for three years, living together for two, and I realized that she never cared. I was just a roof over her head and took care of her kids while she went out to hook up with guys. She kept the ring, and from what I’ve been told she sold it.

    When my partner of 2yrs didn't come to see me after I got hit by a car on the way to work. I was at hospital 300 metres (328 yards) from his office, but he didn't want to leave work. Worst thing was I was so used to this kind of behaviour, I didn't make an issue about it and stayed with him for another year. Leaving him was one of the best things I ever did.

    I had an allergic reaction to something I ate in the middle of the work day. I broke out in hives and was coughing, nothing like my throat closing up, but my husband still left work to sit with me at urgent care (completely surprised me as I didn't ask him to). If they care for you, they'll be there.

    - I was happy about losing weight and he’d say “you need to eat some more” - Emotional abandonment - Started losing respect for him - Wouldn’t let me take naps if I was tired - Woke me up (when I was sick) and made me walk on a sore ankle cause he didn’t want to go to a restaurant alone. - Gaslighting - I did start questioning if I was trauma bonded to him.

    When, less than 24 hours after I had my first dog put down, he asked me why I was still crying. He also had a breakdown in his car, crying, hitting the steering wheel, punching his window, etc when I asked him to stay with me the night I reported my ex boyfriend (different guy) for rape and sexual assault. He said he couldn’t come home with me because he “couldn’t handle” what I said in my report to the police. It was the first time I’d ever told anyone the full story of the abuse I went through and he insisted on coming with me. He instead went home and took drugs. I had to listen to him cry on the phone because he felt like he was a bad person.

    It is clear he couldn't handle it, so he was not lying. And he probably felt like a bad person because he couldn't handle it. He needed an outlet/some time to process this. Not everyone is born out raised with the ability to deal with crises or trauma. He would need guidance of someone where he can share his feelings about it and get advice on how to support OP. Should he bottle up his emotions instead "like a man"? Taking drugs is not the answer though. Did he ever try to talk to OP about it after his initial shock? (And after the drugs have worn off/he got his emotions out) The aftermath is what matters, if he tried to be there for her then. If he simply ignored what happened - he's an a*****e. Again I miss a lot of context to do easily judge negatively. Booo-one is so easy to be done.

    Women Share How They Realized Their Partner Didn't Even Like Them In This Excruciating Online Thread One example of many -- I was doing the dishes and accidentally cut my finger pretty bad on a knife. My now-ex said, "I would get you a bandaid but I don't know where they are." Like keeping them in the bathroom medicine cabinet for the past several years had been my strategy of hiding them from him somehow. I grabbed a paper towel to avoid getting blood everywhere while I ran to the bathroom to get a bandaid. I had to finish doing the dishes one handed. The worst part is he identified that the correct answer was to help but chose to make a passive aggressive statement instead to save himself a walk to the bathroom. Real nice.

    I came home one night when I was living with my brother and he had cut himself and didn't know where the bandaids were (also in bathroom) but at least he figured out something else to do- he knew where there was gaffa tape so used that! I was fine with helping him when I 'found' the bandaids, but annoyed because a week later he still hadn't cleaned up the blood trail he left!

    Point of clarification - did his dad know your grandmother, or ask you you looked upset? How many times had you told the grandmother story, and to how many people? Cuz I have to be honest - if you are going into chapter and verse with every person you know or meet, then it becomes "you seeking attention" and does get annoying. (Talking to you, Mom)

"Looked annoyed" can have so many reasons, why assume it was because of you / the subject? There is a whole lot of context missing.

    Actually yesterday. I told him I missed him because we hadn't met for a while. Which appears "annoyed the s**t out of him." I tried to have a calm conversation about why he's always dismissing my feelings, never says anything nice to me, makes disgusted facial expressions when I tell him I love him, and he suddenly snapped, became very aggressive, really mean, and basically made me finally see that he doesn't give a c**p about me or how I feel, sees me trying to talk about something that bothers me as "self-absorbed." He basically told me to f**k off without using those words. I've done so much for him, I've been knocking at doctors doors for over half a year with him now, doing all the research, finding doctors, etc, just to help him deal with some health problems (we live in Japan and he doesn't speak a word after 6 years lmao). We haven't talked since then. And I think the relationship is over.

Few questions though: how long were they dating? Did everyone pay for their own journey? How long ahead was this planned? What did the teenagers want? How is her relationship with the children? Also, who did the inviting?

    Alcohol doesn't magically put urges in your head you never had before or makes you do stuff you don't want to do. It only lowers your inhibition to do what you deep down always wanted to do. People don't become someone different when drunk, they let go of the person they presented when sober and show you who they truly are inside. In vino veritas. If someone really doesn't want to be who they are when drunk, they will stop drinking. If they use drinking as an excuse to do the bad things they wouldn't do sober, that's what they want to do. Drinking is a decision. And if someone can't control themselves when drunk and still keeps drinking, then they're a bad person who does bad things. Of course they're most likely also an alcoholic, but that too is not going to get better any time soon and still is no excuse for abuse. They're still responsible. And it's still their doing.

    As an alcoholic, I agree. However your line “if someone can't control themselves when drunk and still keeps drinking, then they're a bad person who does bad things” isn’t cool. Alcoholics can’t control themselves while drinking and often still keep drinking, that doesn’t make us bad people. (I’m sure you’re talking about “controlling themselves” as in not cheating, but I just want to make sure we’re not stigmatizing a really painful addiction here)

    If you mean that someone comes up to you and full on kisses you before you have a chance to object, and being drunk doesn't help in reaction times (i would probably be stunned for a few seconds) - I bet that happens a lot. Both to men and women. Then it would be sexual assault. But even if that happened - then you wouldn't deny it happened! You'd protest and say she kissed me out of nowhere, it happened to fast to react. (or I was too drunk to react). He didn't. Unless he was too embarrassed to about sexual assault or had so much to drink his memory was affected. So most likely, even if the girl initiated the kiss, he engaged in the kissing. So he is a jerk.

My CURRENT bf will occasionally check out a girl when I’m around but he’s so much more respectful about it. It used to bother me with ex, but doesn’t bother me with bf because he just appreciates for a moment then turns his attention right back to me. Doesn’t try to flirt, just looks.

    I feel like this might be missing some info. Like, if it was a one time that she got loud then turning the TV up is dumb, but if she had also been talking loudly up to that point, then I get turning up the TV. No one wants to listen to a conversation they aren't a part of. Unless he specifically said that was the reason. Although he probably shouldn't have the TV up so loud that she can hear it upstairs either. That can't be good for your hearing.

    Lots of these posts miss info. The one who feels wronged will paint their subjective version of the situation, with their assumptions. We don't know if the wronged person in these stories isn't some entitled person, or emotionally manipulative themselves, always being the victim. I don't mean this list in particular. Just that we only hear one, very subjective side. In this case, if he had said he didn't want to hear he laugh, then she is fully in her right. But she doesn't mention him saying that, she assumes it is. So do we believe her, while knowing nothing about the rest of them, or their relationship? Or do we give the benefit of the doubt? Maybe he couldn't hear/understand his TV/show over her laughing?

I told him it wasn't true. The guy had a huge crush on me for years but we never even dated. It was barely a thing to my then boyfriend and he continued being the guy's acquaintance.
