Getting Fed Up
Have you ever been in a situation where you're having a conversation with someone, and then they say something that doesn't sit right with you, and it makes you distance yourself from them? It turns out everyone has moments like these!
People sometimes say things during conversations that make you feel like they don't belong in your life. Here are some of the best "final straw" moments shared on the internet.
Getting Her Name Wrong
Have you ever been in a situation where you left a bad relationship, only for your old flame to come back into your life in an attempt to convince you to take them back? Well, this was the case for one poster, but he made the mistake of spelling her name wrong!
An anonymous poster from New York shared: "When I broke up with the man that I had been living with for three years for being a cheater. He wrote me a letter to try to win me back. I opened it excitedly, only to find that he spelled my first name wrong." Talk about ridiculous!
Inconsiderate
With the next girl, we probably feel just as relieved as she does now that this man is not in her life anymore. Some people do not care about their fellow man!
An anonymous poster from Texas wrote: "My ex-boyfriend had been on and off for a while and the final straw was when we were pulling into my gated apartment complex. An older woman was in her car ahead of us, attempting to punch numbers into the gate code box. She was having a hard time, and the gate wasn't opening, but my ex started cussing and honking and was so annoyed with her. I knew at that moment that we were over!"
Victim Mindset
This relationship needed to end if this person wanted any kind of peace in their life! Nobody should surround themselves with this kind of negativity.
This poster is from Illinois wrote the following: "My brother's wife lost a second sibling and started telling people that she had to quit hoping that one of my brother's siblings would die so that he knew what she felt like. Who says things like that? When I called her out, she immediately became the victim. I don't miss her or my brother; he is miserable in that marriage, but he loves drama." Talk about a toxic relationship.
Taking Advantage
This individual's family chose to abuse their mother's declining health and advanced age. With family members like these, who needs enemies?
"My mom, who had been the matriarch of my family, had been taken advantage of by a close family member. In 2014, my mom began showing signs of dementia, and her health steadily declined. As she deteriorated, this family member secretly persuaded her to sign over power of attorney. The family member then proceeded to open credit cards and loans in my mom's name and get work done on their house while my mom's roof was falling around her. By the time my husband and I found out the extent of it, the family member had wiped her out." The poster from Pennsylvania wrote.
Backstabber
This person frequently spent hundreds of dollars on her friend, just for her friend to stab her in the back.
Anonymous from North Carolina wrote: "My best friend from high school moved away after graduation but we maintained our friendship. One summer, I paid for concert tickets, her roundtrip plane ride, food, gas, and more for a trip we had planned. This was all for her to 'mistakenly' text me (after I dropped her at the airport) about how I drove her crazy the week she visited. I cried during the whole drive home but never spoke to her again." Unbelievable! We hope she finds better friends soon.
Terrible Father
This woman's husband discriminated against their unborn daughter. Talk about getting rid of dead weight!
The 50-year-old from California wrote: "When my husband told me that my mixed-race granddaughter would never amount to anything because she was half black. I left him the day after he said it, a full month before she was even born." We wish her and her daughter nothing but the best!
Bad Friend
This woman was in love with her close friend, but he continuously rejected her. Once she decided to move on, he dared to feel jealous. In retaliation, the friend spread horrible rumors about her new boyfriend. This guy does not deserve to be in this poster's life.
"I met someone that swept me off my feet, and my guy friend was not happy for me. He became obsessed with destroying my new guy's character and proceeded to stalk his social media and tell lies about him because they lived in the same city. The final straw was when he made up a huge lie that my guy was cheating on me and that he knew the girls personally. When it came time to 'produce those receipts,' he backtracked on everything that he said." The 37-year -old from Delaware posted.
Over Exaggeration
This poster's sister spread lies about her mistreating her mother, which was everything but true.
Anonymous from Washington posted: "I'd gotten my mother a cell phone, which she lost, unbeknownst to me. When my sister couldn't get ahold of her, instead of calling me to see if mom was okay, she went directly to our state adult protective services and lied, telling them that I was abusing my mom by not letting her have contact with anyone."
Can't Remember Important Things
It's usually preferable to keep a friend at arms distance who can't recall truly crucial things or experiences in your life. It implies that they will never be around when you need them the most. This behavior was something this poster did not want in their life.
"I had received a life-changing medical diagnosis, and it was quite a shock. My life was completely in chaos, and I called him and told him about it. Cue to a few weeks later, I called him to say hello. He asked how I was, I answered, 'I'm okay, but still upset about the diagnosis.' He said, 'What diagnosis?'" The poster from California wrote.
Stealing
Stealing is one thing, but stealing from your partner? That’s on another level of terrible. At least they got rid of them in the end.
"When I found out my wife was stealing money out of my bank account. I had added her to the account because she had closed her own, but later I found out that she had an open account with another bank. The best that I can figure, she stole about $10K, not to mention the $30K+ in credit card debt that she left me with." -Anonymous, 50ish, Alabama
Cheating
Finding out your partner is cheating can be soul-crushing. And this man found out in the oddest way. This would definitely be the last straw if there ever had to be one.
"I found birth control pills in my wife's drawer. I had a vasectomy three years before while we were married." - Anonymous, 72, Maine
Silent Treatment
The silent treatment is already quite childish, but if you’re gonna do it make sure you have a justified reason for it. This friend certainly didn’t.
"My best friend lost her job, and her MARRIED boyfriend broke up with her. She was mad that I didn't show up to get drunk with her every night, so she gave me the silent treatment." - Anonymous, 57, Texas
Getting Sick
When two people get married they normally recite enduring love in both health and sickness. Well, it seems this person definitely didn’t think that should have been the case and as a result, it ended in the final straw.
"When I asked if he would take care of me if I got sick, he said that he didn't love me that much." -Anonymous, 59, Washington
Birthday Wishes
Forgetting a birthday is one thing, but acknowledging it without even wishing someone should be a crime, especially if it is your husband.
"One year, a friend called me around 9 p.m. to wish me a happy birthday. When I got off the phone, my husband asked why she called. When I told him, he said, 'Oh yeah, it's your birthday,' and absolutely nothing else." -Anonymous, 59, Florida
