"He dumped me because I didn’t help him in his dream" – The most unbelievable breakup reasons

I met a guy at a party. The next evening we went on a date, walked in the park, and kissed. Two days later we had dinner at a restaurant. Later that day we met again, but I felt he was distant. When I asked what was wrong, he said, "Have you ever noticed someone’s freckles in the sunlight?" I have reddish-brown hair and freckles.

I’d been dating a guy for four months, we were inseparable, and I was in love. He suggested I spend Christmas with his family. When we got there, he introduced me as "the girl he loves like a sister." When I pulled him aside to ask what that meant, he said he wasn’t in love with me but I was like the sister he always wanted. That morning, we’d even been intimate!

A former coworker had been gently hinting at dating me for six years. After all that time, I finally gave him a chance, and things seemed great—at least to me. Two months in, while watching a movie at home, he paused it and said he was sorry but "the relationship was better in his head than in reality."

Our mutual friends set up the date; we’d only seen photos of each other beforehand. She opened with saying I was too tall for her, and if I didn’t mind, she wanted to "end it here." I’m 182 cm (6’0") and she couldn’t have been more than 155 cm (5’1")—talk about unexpected!

My girlfriend dreamed she was attacked on the street and I didn’t help her. When she woke up, she broke up with me—for not helping her in her dream.

My boyfriend promised a surprise that evening when we said goodbye in the morning. I was excited all day, expecting flowers and a sweet note. Instead, I found a message on the table giving me five days to move out. When I asked what it meant, he said he realized that afternoon he didn’t love me, but since he promised a surprise, he didn’t want to disappoint me.

One ex broke up with me because I "didn’t get" his secret band. It was a band where he played guitar with his feet. Yep, you read that right.

When I found out my mom had cancer, I drove two hours crying to talk to my then-boyfriend. Meanwhile, he went out drinking with friends. I went home and crashed my car on the way. The next day at the hospital, I was crying when he told me it was over—he couldn’t handle that much drama in his life.

My high school crush broke up with me after a month because his friends said I was ugly and teased him about it constantly.

We’d been dating for six months when suddenly I couldn’t reach my girlfriend. I called her family and friends; everyone said she was fine and didn’t understand why she wasn’t answering me. On the third day, she emailed me (!) saying she didn’t want to continue because I hadn’t missed her the past two days.
