32 Absolutely Bonkers Breakup Stories

‘The husband and wife switched partners with another couple’
32 Absolutely Bonkers Breakup Stories

Chances are, you’ve endured some sort of breakup. While I hope your split was amicable, the only breakups worth hearing about are the ones that involve crazy, juicy details. Thankfully, Redditors have no shortage of those.

One Redditor indulged us with a little breakup drama they witnessed while working at a jewelry store. A guy stopped in to buy a custom heart pendant with the name “Luke” engraved on it. The Redditor, making casual conversation, asked if “Luke” was the guy’s name or his significant other’s. In a wild twist, the customer divulged that it was the name of the guy his girlfriend was cheating on him with, and said that he was giving her the gift at her family birthday dinner.

You gotta hand it to him — that’s truly next-level scheming, and a breakup she’ll likely never forget.

More Redditors have shared other chaotic breakup stories that prove love isn’t always forever, including one that involves a company-wide email blast.

Irishgalinabq 3y ago 45/F This was back in college, so very ancient history. We had tickets to the musical Rent. Не asked me to meet him in town on a bridge. Не walked up to me, said I can't do this any more, gave me the tickets and walked away. We had only been dating a few months so no big deal. I called a friend and we went to the show anyway.

Ok_Introduction9435 10mo ago Mine! My first highschool boyfriend broke up with me after a month because God came to him in a dream and told him to. I'm not calling him a liar, but considering he sells solar panels now and isn't a prophet in any other aspect, I think I'm calling bs - but how do you argue with that? Anyway, I cried about him for 1.5 year after that. 373 Share ...
613Hawkeye 10mo ago Dude I knew in high school was dating some chick. She didn't seem his type, but whatever I'm not gonna judge. One day, he's driving her home after a bunch of us hung out at the local coffee shop. She lived pretty far out in the country, so it was a fairly long drive. 45 minutes or so if memory serves.

SausagePlease 11y ago I started going out with a girl in my first year of uni who at some point after the initial happy period became absolutely insane. She was breaking up with me pretty much every day, public screaming at me etc. So I told her that if she broke up with me again then that would be it for good. So she doesn't do it for a few weeks, at which point I'm thinking actually I don't really want to be with this girl. EVENTUALLY she goes crazy at me again says That's it you're dumped!!...... realises what's
Mmedical 11y ago Once a woman broke up with me over a very weird conversation...that simply had not ever occurred. She was making references to it. The conversation was apparently over the telephone - I had called her at work. I was dumbfounded. I told her that I didn't remember any of this, that I did not even speak with her that day. She refused to believe me and broke up anyway. Just to be certain I wasn't capable of completely forgetting an entire conversation, a couple weeks later I checked my phone bill since her work was long distance and would have
sdwescott 11y ago I was engaged and went away for the summer to work at a school in Central America. The whole time, I tried to call my fiance', but we only connected a few times.

Не went from being a normal guy to I am too alternative for words and I wanted no part of it. At lunch I had to sit him down and have a talk with him about it. I told him that he was kind of acting like a dick, and maybe he was letting this new look get to his head. Не took my hand and said I needed to accept
