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.

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.

When I told him about it I expected him to be horrified, protective, or at least not happy about it. Instead, he looked bored. He implied that I get a bit mouthy so maybe I pissed off the wrong guy. I got the ick so fast there was no turning back.

He convinced me to come over to his place “let me take care of you, you shouldn’t be suffering alone” I wanted to just stay in my own bed and ride it out but he kept at it and I thought he was just trying to be a caring boyfriend.

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…. Right, got it, THANKS”

I wish I’d dumped his a*s right then but I was young and deep into a sunken cost fallacy.

Pretty sure it wasn’t the first time. Girlfriends, I know there are times when you’re like dying for a baby, but take a moment first, and take a good hard look t the person you’re with. Please don’t get pregnant until you know the “sperm donor” is someone who’s worth it.

People can be manipulative fückers, and not really show their true faces until shït starts to hit the fan. And pregnancy is a pretty high stress time that may reveal flaws in a person and cracks in a relationship in ways unseen before then. Maybe try not to blame the victim next time, eh?

There must have been warning signs that were ignored, I am sure I have done the same myself. Why as women do we do this, I finally learned that been on my own was way better than putting up with that shi*t. It kills me that we as a women dont value our worth

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 🙃

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.

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.

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.

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.

OP needs to run in the opposite direction as quick as possible, let the loser sort out his own problems. Spread your wings op and see how far you can fly when you aren't holding on to his dead weight.

It’s hard to tell. There have been so many glaring signs in our marriage. It’s pretty obvious the only reason he ever cared about me is because I came with assets and a decent paycheck. I wonder if he realizes yet that he has destroyed all the feelings I ever had for him?

This happened a long time ago but it was when I got in an accident and when I texted him about it he didn't even bother to come see me. He just asked what happened and continued gaming with his friends.

When I came out of the mental hospital after a 10 day stint and they never cared to see me for *months*

When he told me he would have sex with someone else if given the chance and it wouldn’t be considered cheating, disloyal, or unfaithful

When they made me cry on my birthday

When they put everyone else before me, like thank you for penciling me, your girlfriend (now ex), into your super busy schedule

When they weaponized my loneliness, anxiety, and bipolar disorder against me

People with serious mental illness often experience abuse from others when they're ill.💔

Pay attention to how they act during a family members passing or medical situation. Their true colors of empathy care or selfishness are visible.

I misread this and thought at first the ex was the mother of his 16 children.

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.

I had an ex like this. He would stare and try to make eye contact and exchange little smiles with the other girl while I was looking right at him trying to talk to him. 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. (And I do the same with other cute people too, I’m respectful too and it doesn’t bother him, we both know there’s a lot of attractive people out there) It’s how you do it 🤷‍♀️

I was upstairs laughing at a joke with online friends, and he turned the volume up on the TV so he didn’t have to hear me laugh.

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.

There are countless incidents but the one that jumps out is that his acquaintance had at some point lied and said he slept with me prior to our relationship and someone told my bf about it. 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.

Edit to add: Wow, just realized I left out a HUGE piece. The bf of this convo was my first. So yeah, it was just terrible and heartbreaking.

I don't quit get this. Are they upset that the bf wasn't jealous, or that he didn't get angry at the guy who lied? Or both? I feel like there is more missing.
