Relationships are all about communication, but let’s face it, that’s often easier said than done. The result is that in many, failed relationships, there are a decent amount of things that ended up left unsaid.
Someone asked people to share “the one thing you never told your ex?” and netizens spilled their guts. From heartbreaking revelations to funny tit-bits, get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts and experiences in the comments section below.

That sometimes, while I was asleep, I'd wake to her petting my hair and telling me that she loved me. She said it in such a loving, quiet voice, it felt almost secret. In those moments, I had never felt so loved. I'd pretend to still be asleep while fading back into it so she wouldn't get embarrassed. We broke up later but I still cherish those moments.

The day I left was the best day of my life. Not the wedding, not when the kiddo finished kindergarten or high school. When I finally had enough and realized what was happening was abuse and it happens to men, too.
Ray Ceeya (RayCeeYa) 8 months ago
It does happen to men too. I'm a survivor. My ex used to get whiskey drunk and beat the c**p out of me. I never hit back because I have 50lb on her and I'd be the one in jail. Glad she's gone and the restraining order makes sure that's the case.

That he's gay. I remember the party in college where I walked in on him kissing our friend Daniel. We just never talked about it again. And once I announced the divorce, everyone mentioned that he was gay. They thought it was some big secret we were all agreeing not to discuss.
I just wish he'd get on with it and live his life openly now. But I realize there must be tremendous pain keeping him from that. So I'll keep loving him as a friend and family member, raising our daughter as coparents.
I'm happy and remarried. I hope he finds what he needs someday. He's an amazing dad.
It can be very hard to tell a person a hard truth, even, in fact particulate, if you love them. The truth hurts is an old adage for a reason and most of us don’t actually want to hurt the people who are important to us. It’s even worse when one is dealing with something that happened between them and an ex or really any important figure from the past.
While, in the moment, it might be easier to stay silent, psychologists believe that it still helps with closure. After all, the folks in this article still felt the need to share the words left unsaid with someone, even if it was random people on the internet.

She wanted to improve her own fitness, so she wanted to work out with me. Every time we ran together I would run at half speed, breath heavily and pretend like I was exhausted. It helped her feel encouraged, that she was able to keep up, and that she was improving.
When we’d go out to Asian restaurants she’d insist on using chopsticks. She was terrible, so I always tried to out-do any blunders she made. If she struggled to pick something up, I’d pretend the chopsticks slipped out of my hand, or resort to stabbing food in an exaggerated way. I’m Asian… I’ve been using chopsticks longer than I’ve been using spoons and forks. She’d always gleefully laugh at me and never caught on to the fact that everytime she was done eating my chopstick errors significantly dropped.
Lastly, she loved falling asleep next to me but kicked and spasmed in her sleep. She was a heavy sleeper and I wasn’t so this sleeping arrangement didn’t really work out but she was always so happy to go to sleep and wake up next to me. A lot of times if she kicked me awake I’d sleep on the floor, get up slightly before her alarm, and scoot back next to her like nothing happened so she wouldn’t feel bad.
I got burned by that relationship pretty badly but I have every intention of continuing to do those little things for my future partners. Just waiting for the right person to do them for.

It is never a good idea to make yourself "less than" to stay in a relationship. If you can't be yourself and act normal what's the point? There is a difference between acceptance and whatever the heck he thought he was doing.

I know she faked an "emergency" phone call and left my apartment in a hurry one night because she had sh*rted herself. Unbeknownst to her there was some trace evidence left where she was sitting on the couch. I cleaned the spot, flipped the cushion, and I never let on that I knew what had really happened.

The heartfelt letter she wrote to her dying bff was returned bc she put the wrong address. He passed away while the letter was en-route back to her. I threw it in the trash.
Zedrapazia 8 months ago
It's a horrible thing to happen, but better like that. The guilt would have eaten her up had she known, at least that's how I would feel in such a case, so it's better she never has to find out
Let’s face it, in many cases, it is best to discuss and divulge things early to not let them build up for later. Fortunately, many of the examples are a tad more lighthearted. It seems unlikely that someone is truly dying to tell their ex that, actually, they simply let them win at every board game.

The real reason I broke up with her was because I caught myself going through her phone on a regular basis. The last time I did it, it hit me like a bag of bricks. I knew it was me and not her. I developed trust issues from past relationships.
I was so in love with her, I didn't feel she deserved to be with someone not in a healthy place.
I tried my hardest to trust her but couldn't. I still haven't gotten past her and it's been 6 years.
That behavior scared me so much, I haven't been in a relationship since and have focused on me. I think I scared myself so badly, I am avoiding relationships out of the fear I'll have the desire to do that again.
Now she's engaged and here I am... On Reddit. Confessing my crazy behavior.

That his dog was seeking him out in her dying moments.
He had rescued a little girl from a dog fighting puppy mill, and raised her by himself until we met. I instantly loved her and for a year into our relationship I got to watch the two of them build trust and train and play everyday. She was his whole life as when he saved her, he had no one else regarding family or friends, in a very depressed state.
Around our 1 year anniversary she got sick. I woke up one day with a very bad feeling, only to look around and find her sitting in a pool of blood and p**s. Without hesitation we took her to the vet non stop and payed for any and every test we could. She was young still, 2 and a half.
They all came back negative, and she was a fully vaccinated dog. One Sunday, after 5 days of fighting with antibiotics and getting her to eat, cleaning up blood and p**s and taking out any savings we both had to pay off doctors, she passed.
They were both a sleep on the couch (we took turns sleeping) and I was dozing off from the exhaustion.
I saw her around 5am wake up, she tried moving around trying to get to her dad but she was too weak and he was too tired. I didn't realize what was happening, why she suddenly wanted to be with him so much.
I sat with her, telling her that it would be okay and the minute the vet was available we would head over for painkillers. We would find what was hurting her and that she wasn't alone. I covered her with a blanket and fell asleep on the floor before I realized it. 9 am same day she had joined the other angels.
To this day, I have some of her ashes and I just keep thinking I should of woken him up, or helped her. For the longest time he blamed himself for not being with her in her final moments.
We never found what killed her, autopsy wasn't an option.

I know that wasn’t the dog’s fart.
After all, it’s no surprise that most gags in your average sitcom, inevitably, come from some characters miscommunicating or leaving something out. It’s a pretty common human experience at this point. So like with many things in life, it’s important to not beat yourself up too much and just use your best judgment.

My ex's parents were separated, so we often found ourselves at her mom's place. Her mom, a high-powered CEO in New York, rarely engaged in casual conversation. However, one night, amidst her job stress, she surprised us by joining in for a laid-back evening. Nestled in her fantastic Manhattan loft, we relished the opportunity to escape our sweltering college dorms during the summer. On this particular night, as my ex and I stayed over, her mom seemed a touch envious of our city escapade and decided to join us for a nostalgic early 2000s movie and a nightcap. As the evening unfolded, my ex dozed off, and I couldn't help but notice her mom consuming the lion's share of the wine. She became unusually chatty, delving into personal questions and fixing me with a lingering gaze. When the movie ended, I suggested that i’d probably leave my ex on the couch and that i would probably just take the floor. However, her mom unexpectedly proposed sharing her bedroom. Politely, I declined, and it's a secret I've kept from my ex ever since.

We should’ve broken up after that first fight 6 weeks in instead of 3 and a half years later. You’re my biggest regret.

That it isn’t normal for him (18) and his sister (23) to shower together on a regular basis…. And no it was not to preserve water because they were loaded af.
#15
Oooooh had to hop on the alt account for this one! When I was 22, I had a baby with my ex and we gave them up for adoption. I should have gotten an abortion, but I got scared so I ended up carrying to full term and letting a great family adopt them. Less than 5 people know about this. It's my biggest skeleton in my closet.
#16
She had a lovebird. it managed to get out the door, we spent weeks walking the neighbour's hood, putting up posters and scouring lost and found ads. unfortunately, within an a few hours of the first round of lost posters being distributed, I got a call (on her phone, she was in shower) from a woman who witnessed poor Lovebird being predated by crows. I went out to 'buy cigarettes', but actually went to the area where this was observed. I found a lot of little blue feathers. she was already heartbroken at the loss. I felt this news, this soon into the search would have crushed her.

It sounds harsh, but I would have loved to have talked with my ex about how neither of us really loved the other, but were both in love with the idea of each other, and that really f****d our relationship up, from day 1, and honestly I should have never tried to rely on her to fix my own pre-existing issues. I'm genuinely sorry I put her through that.

We broke it off on good terms, but I wish I could’ve told him how much of a narcissist and an a*****e he was to me. He drunkenly asked me when I stopped loving him one night after we broke up… I stopped loving you 6 months into our relationship and stayed for 3 years bc I couldn’t afford to leave and be on my own and I became so used to the abuse that it was just normal at that point. I stopped loving you the first time you screamed “f**k you” into my face. You made so many excuses for your behavior and half of those were just blaming me when I did nothing wrong. You were explosive and short-tempered but everything was still my fault. You couldn’t care less about the things I wanted to do or the interests that I had, just you you you you you. He even left me with the dog I got him (whom I love very much and he is spoiled). Every weekend he’d be gone doing the things that I wish I could be doing with him, but I wasn’t invited or couldn’t afford it. AND THE LIES. I’d be surprised if he was ever telling me the truth. Deceit was the boys middle name, but I saw through it. Even when you didn’t think I did. I did.
I wish I could’ve said all of that but I left off on good terms because i’m wayyyyy too nice of a person. You live and you learn I guess. What a joke.
Thanks for the vent haha.
#19
Several things to each one of them
1- Im sorry that I fumbled breaking up with you but I needed a more active gf than just watching movies endlessly
2- i really wanted to spend my life with you but your decision that “you wanted to open our relationship” ended all attraction to you at that exact moment. I should have just walked away right there than demand it ‘stay closed’ and drag out the inevitable a few more months. You ended up leaving me anyways so w/e
3- your anger is why everyone youve dated dumped you, and why im dumping you too. Its not that we “are afraid of a smart woman” its you become petty and mean when you dont get your way. (Shes still single to this day)
4- i knew you cheated but you thought you were too slick.

He made me reallyyyy uncomfortable with how often he "accidentally" s**t himself.

That she would make an awful mother and that’s why things ended.
#24
That I know damn well she cheated on me.
Edit to add: I never told her because it would have benefited no one. As a result, we had an amicable divorce.
#25
That she was a major catalyst in me making my life better. You we were my rock bottom. You made my life hell trying to help you and “fix” you.
It’s wild I spent the whole relationship terrified you’d out grow me, turns out I outgrew you and I am so happy. Happiest I’ve ever been. Go f**k yourslef.
#26
I knew he cheated for about 2 wks prior to the break up. I kept trying to give him chances to come clean on his own. He never did.
#27
That I felt the most at peace with him.
#28
Her parents pissed me the f**k off. Her mom was always complaining about everything, and her dad was a covid conspiracy theory nut case.
#29
That I accidentally dropped his Ducati on its side. Obviously I couldn’t pick it up, I was panicking and called a neighbor for help and both of us were able to pick it up. Thankfully nothing happened to the motorcycle. No scratches or anything.. but if my ex knew, he’d have a fit lmao.

The fourth time she stayed over at my house, she woke up crying in the middle of the night, talking like she was a kid, and saying how her family is at odds, and her dad hates her mom and thinks she’s ugly, but they can’t get a divorce because of Christian values. I just calmed her down and held her until she fell asleep. She suffered from Dissociative Identity Disorder and stress-caused episodes, so I don’t think she remembers it happening. I didn’t bring it up the next morning or ever in the three years we were together; not even during our worst fights.

That’s not too bad. Stupid people really irritate me. It’s nothing to do with education. I knew a woman who could barely read and write (grew up in a war zone so minimal education) but she was incredibly intelligent. I’ve also met people who are so ignorant that I can hardly bear to be near them.
#35
I lost my virginity to her. Before we became a “thing” and she was just my friend I would lie to her about the women I slept with. This was in high school, man I still remember that night. Lmao, we ended up getting really serious, that relationship lasted 12 years. She would bring up the girls that I “supposedly” slept with and once in a while she would say that she ended up falling in love with a man wh*re. Lmao I never told her.
#36
His apartment was an absolute horror show. Like I don’t know how he put up with how filthy, cluttered and depressing it was, and I honestly felt embarrassed for him.
#37
That her family is and will continue to ruin her life. I have never met more narcissistic and pretentious, self diagnosing and delusional people in my entire life. I hope she finds the exit somehow, even tho she already had one.

That as much as I loved her, her lack of morals and social values meant we never had a future together. I could not imagine raising children with someone like her.
#39
I hired a divorce lawyer the day after she took the kids from daycare and ran off to her moms.
I was so stressed that I lost 5 lbs in 2 days due to stress from this. I convinced her to come back and just ‘make it work’ for The kids sake. But I knew I could never trust her again. I stashed $, gift cards, kids clothes & supplies at work and my folks house in case I needed to get the kids and get out fast. That was 3 years before the actual divorce. I regret nothing but hanging on so long. Now happily remarried w full custody 8 years now. FU ex wife.

There's bits missing here. Was she a terrible mother? It may seem so, but it's not stated. If she wasn't, that's not the best move for the children. If both parents are good parents then both should have 50/50 access. Obviously not if one parent is toxic and a bad parent. Too many people plan to get over on their partner by planning things and being sly when the other doesn't have a clue about their plan, making him have a huge advantage whit comes to divorce and custody. If she was terrible in most aspects then good for you. She/he can be a terrible partner, but a great parent! Love your children more than you hate each other. Why were the children taken from school and carted off to the mother's place? Like I said, a lot is missing here.
#40
I let her win at card games sometimes. Winner usually chose the movie but I didn’t want her to feel bad by beating her all the time and I wanted to keep playing. I played A LOT of cards in university and could probably beat her 90% of the time.
#41
That he was terrible in bed 🤷🏼♀️ and after he went to bed, I would have to finish myself.
#42
That his breath stank , (I had to remind him daily to brush his teeth).
#43
I wish I had told her how messed up her family dynamic was, how oppressed she was from that. I wish I had told her that life was more than academia and titles. And that I could’ve been more, but I was always going to be an outlier in her families eyes.

I went through this twice, but not for year on year because I got out early. It's awful and I hope you're well. The problem with me (maybe not a problem) is because of these issues, I've been on my own for 22 years, but that's by choice and I don't want to be with anyone. I'm happy now, hope you are too!
#46
That his dad revenge cheated on his mom after she had a relationship with another man while they were separated.
She swore me to silence after telling me once night but had to tell someone because her husband wouldn’t stop holding the fact that “she cheated on him” over her head for every argument.
Idgafwyt AllDat'N'ABagOfChips 8 months ago
Not sure of all the facts here, but it seems like mom was with someone else, when they were separated. That's not cheating, in most cases, but deliberately finding someone to have sèx with, just because you learned about your partner doing so, when you weren't in a relationship.

You're not funny enough to be a stand up comic, and You're always going to be a barista.

One from me: I don't wish anything bad for you, I genuinely hope you are successful in life and get the help you so desperately need, but you need to do it without me. You spent years and years manipulating me, gaslighting me into believing I didn't do enough when in reality, I did it all. It was never about money, it was about how for years I didn't notice how you were treating me, how all the effort and initiative was from my end. I wanted to be worth effort. Ten years ago we had a similar fight, only I fought to save us because I didn't want to be alone. Because I wasn't strong enough. Ten years later I've discovered my strength, and genuinely enjoy my peace, I'm not afraid to be alone. I hate myself for taking so long to realize all these truths, I hate you for doing it to me. But i still love you. I wish I didn't.

I've never felt a thing from your touches. your kisses felt like nothing against my lips, you holding my hand never made my heart race. the first time we tried being intimate, you hurt me so much worse than I told you you did. I bled for days afterwards. I felt incredibly disrespected when you blew into me... twice... even after I told you to absolutely never do that right before you went down on me. you never really listened to anything I said, so I learned to not talk at all about anything because when you did listen, you'd always end up warping my words somehow. my love for women was a bragging point for you when times were good, the fact that I picked you over any other, but it was always a fault of mine when you were feeling depressed. you are the reason I realized I'm not bisexual. you telling me I should be with a woman instead of you every time you'd try hurting yourself by insulting me made me realize there's just nothing good about you.

you made for a good friend, and I wish you'd never fallen in love with me because this is a pandora's box I'm not sure can be closed. I hate you. I really really have come to resent you with all my being. I hate it when I'm hanging out with our friends and you show up. I don't want to hear your voice anymore. everything you've done to me has ruined my perception of you. you act like things are okay and that we're only on a break, but I don't think things can be repaired, not after all these months of you using me as your damn therapist every single day. I can't take any more of this, and all our friends know that by now because it's obvious. it's obvious yet you're in denial and want to be with me again. all you ever did was treat me like a hunk of meat anyways. I wonder if you remember what you said the first time I tried breaking up with you. "before things end between us, I have one request. can I see you in that lingerie you bought but never showed me?"

I'd tell them all that I wasn't actually scared of sex, I was disgusted at the idea, let alone doing it. The term "asexual" wasn't common knowledge in the late 90's, early 00's, and I thought there was something broken in myself. I haven't dated anyone since I was around 22...more than half my life ago...so I don't have to worry about telling anyone anything.

That after I moved back to where I'm from originally, I didn't keep my sobriety. I was drinking regularly, and constantly. It was easy having a girlfriend over the phone, who believed I quit drinking, and drinking while i was on the phone with her for hours. She didn't know, and I wanted that way as long as possible.

I hate that I left the life of my life to save myself from overdosing on d***s and missing being near my family. That he was withdrawing to just work an do his band stuff on weekends til almost 4 am getting home. I know he was cheating. I caught him one night just kissing a girl when I happened to walkout of a bar bathroom. He didn't even say anything. After like whatever. I kissed a guy one night but it just wasn't his kiss so it was nothing. It's been since 1998 that I left him. I just found he's still playing music. And he has a show with a band in a few months. It's an hour away there and then back. I saw him once around 2-3 years after we had broken up at a concert. But I was stupid an met a random guy a kissed him to show him he should be missing me. There's more to this. But I want to go see him. But would he draw me back in. We did love each other but I left because we were more like roommates an I was a maid to being intimate as a couple. Help?

Babes. You don't need him, you need therapy and/or an AA group. He's connected to the feeling of getting your fix, and that's making him look like a way better situation than he ever was or will be. Leave him in your rearview mirror. You're not good for each other.

I felt incredibly disrespected when you blew into me... twice... even after I told you to absolutely never do that right before you went down on me. you never really listened to anything I said, so I learned to not talk at all about anything because when you did listen, you'd always end up warping my words somehow. my love for women was a bragging point for you when times were good, the fact that I picked you over any other, but it was always a fault of mine when you were feeling depressed. you are the reason I realized I'm not bisexual. you telling me I should be with a woman instead of you every time you'd try hurting yourself by insulting me made me realize there's just nothing good about you.

you made for a good friend, and I wish you'd never fallen in love with me because this is a pandora's box I'm not sure can be closed. I hate you. I really really have come to resent you with all my being. I hate it when I'm hanging out with our friends and you show up. I don't want to hear your voice anymore. everything you've done to me has ruined my perception of you. you act like things are okay and that we're only on a break, but I don't think things can be repaired, not after all these months of you using me as your damn therapist every single day. I can't take any more of this, and all our friends know that by now because it's obvious. it's obvious yet you're in denial and want to be with me again. all you ever did was treat me like a hunk of meat anyways. I wonder if you remember what you said the first time I tried breaking up with you. "before things end between us, I have one request. can I see you in that lingerie you bought but never showed me?"

I'd tell them all that I wasn't actually scared of sex, I was disgusted at the idea, let alone doing it. The term "asexual" wasn't common knowledge in the late 90's, early 00's, and I thought there was something broken in myself. I haven't dated anyone since I was around 22...more than half my life ago...so I don't have to worry about telling anyone anything.

Something I didn't tell my ex but probably should have, is that his mother really hates him. He worships her like she is his saviour or something, but this woman despises him as hell. she's just too manipulative to let it show. Glad I left that nuthouse

That after I moved back to where I'm from originally, I didn't keep my sobriety. I was drinking regularly, and constantly. It was easy having a girlfriend over the phone, who believed I quit drinking, and drinking while i was on the phone with her for hours. She didn't know, and I wanted that way as long as possible. We eventually broke up for unrelated reasons.

I hate that I left the life of my life to save myself from overdosing on d***s and missing being near my family. That he was withdrawing to just work an do his band stuff on weekends til almost 4 am getting home. I know he was cheating. I caught him one night just kissing a girl when I happened to walkout of a bar bathroom. He didn't even say anything. After like whatever. I kissed a guy one night but it just wasn't his kiss so it was nothing. It's been since 1998 that I left him. I just found he's still playing music. And he has a show with a band in a few months. It's an hour away there and then back. I saw him once around 2-3 years after we had broken up at a concert. But I was stupid an met a random guy a kissed him to show him he should be missing me. There's more to this. But I want to go see him. But would he draw me back in. We did love each other but I left because we were more like roommates an I was a maid to being intimate as a couple. Help?

Babes. You don't need him, you need therapy and/or an AA group. He's connected to the feeling of getting your fix, and that's making him look like a way better situation than he ever was or will be. Leave him in your rearview mirror. You're not good for each other.
