Reddit user Kenybrown asked: 'What’s the reason you left your ex?'

Ending a relationship is never easy.

In several cases, the reasons for doing so might also be unexpected.

More often than not, it simply becomes apparent to both members of the couple that the relationship has simply run its course, and there is no future.

Other times, however, there might be an inciting incident that made staying in the relationship no longer tenable.

Possibly a surprising act by one member of the couple, or a longstanding secret that was finally unearthed.


Redditor Kenybrown was curious to learn why people made the decision to leave their partners and end their relationships, leading them to ask:

Sometimes, however, a relationship can be truly broken beyond compare, and there is simply no saving it.

And should your health and safety be at risk, it's unwise to even put in the effort.
