Small Slights That Made People Feel Majorly Betrayed By Their Significant Other

Unequal Devotion

"When he was doing a work contract overseas I sent him love letters every two weeks to feel connected."

"When he got home and unpacked I found many of them unopened."

~ athenasplanet

"My high school girlfriend lent my hoodie to someone else."

~ Responsible_Roll7065

"Gah! I had a University BF lend My hoodie to a girl (who was a smoker, too. 🤮)."

"There were at least 15 other single guys there that could have stepped up and lent her their sweaters, but mine was up for grabs!"

"And when I got it back it reeked. So, annoyed with him on multiple levels."

~ Au-stellar-12

Unequal Effort

"My sister was in the hospital and he didn't do the dishes while I was gone for 3 days."

~ shirleytrix

"When he got Covid, he was quarantined downstairs. I waited on him hand and foot."

"Three days later, I got Covid but while he was feeling better and still quarantining himself, I had to be sick and care for our son."

"I was stooped over the counter trying to make him dinner and he just went back downstairs. I’ll always remember that."

~ Lychanthropejumprope

"My sister, nephew, and mom went on a vacay for about 9 days including travel days."

"When she and my nephew got home, the sink was full of dirty dishes and so was the island in their kitchen. Their island is HUGE, bigger than what I would consider average for a home."

"There were also trash bags just sitting around the house and it was just absolutely disgusting."

~ Ill-Stomach1871

"It's small, but one year we were both working 15-18 hour days but had Thanksgiving off. I planned the menu, he didn't give input."

"I ordered the ingredients online during my lunch break to pick up after work because I didn't have time to shop."

"I woke up early, made everything. Cleaned the dishes and the kitchen after."

"All he did was complain."

"I made too much. I had too much wine (3 glasses over 7 hours)."

"After all that work and not even a compliment or a thank you?

"Yeah—we divorced. That was our last Thanksgiving together."

Unequal Consideration

"After complaining for months that I never got to sleep in, despite being the only one to get up to the kids in the night, he finally let me sleep in one morning."

"I woke up hearing him quietly saying to the kids 'Mummy’s had long enough; go wake her up'."

"I only had maybe an hour extra. He always had several."

~ a-nony-mouse33

"I'm almost always up first. I tend the pets, get the kids going and make coffee. 20 min routine."

"Every morning I'd bring him a cup of coffee and open the curtains to let some sunlight in and then leave and he would play on his phone and sip coffee for half hour while I tended the kids and got to work."

"Then he complained that just because I was up didn't mean he had to be up."

"Guess who doesn't get hot coffee in bed anymore."

~ MsFlippy

"My ex would skip the songs I liked that came on the radio."

~ violet_hydrangea

"Was on my way back from Turkey with a nice stash of dried fruit from Afghanistan (imported to Turkey)."

"Declared it on my customs form."

"Got detained for agricultural reasons, said they would let me go but had to take the dried fruit."

"I looked and looked but could not find it. Was detained for hours."

"Turns out my girlfriend ate it all while I was asleep on the flight."

~ neuro_exo

Unequal Humor

"We were going through airport security together."

"She went first and when she was being screened, pointed at me and said 'make sure you check my boyfriend, he always has knives' as a joke and then I got detained for a search and questioning and almost missed the flight.

"And no, I didn't have any knives other other contraband on me. Then she got mad at me for almost missing our flight."

"LIKE WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN HERE EMILY‽‽"

~ ThadisJones

"When we were signing our first lease she joked with the landlord about how rowdy I am, to 0 chuckles or even a smile.

"I wanted to bang my head into a wall."

~ NCAA_D1_AssRipper

Unequal Respect

"I had a friend who dumped his girlfriend when he overheard her making fun of his (admittedly, rather nerdy) sister to her friends."

"He said it wasn’t just about loyalty to his sis, it was about not wanting to be with someone who has to put others down to feel better about herself."

"Always thought it was admirable."

~ whitneywestmoreland

"The most extreme case I know of is my dad and the girlfriend he had before my mom came along."

"He and the gf were high school sweethearts and had been together for three years. They were both dying to see Back to the Future 2, a movie that had been highly anticipated for years."

"He had a family emergency the day it came out so they agreed to see it the following Monday. He found out from friends she went to see it with a douchey guy friend my dad never really liked."

"He was so hurt and she was so unapologetic—her attitude was 'I’ll go see it with you too! Why did I have to wait?' even though they’d agreed to see it together. He told her they needed to take a break."

He fully meant for it to be temporary, just until he cooled off, but then he met my mom when he went to see the movie by himself…and he never looked back.

"He does feel a bit guilty though because his ex was pretty devastated when she found out he’d met someone else and wanted to end things for good."

People felt these were minor slights, but many seem pretty major from the outside looking in.

Most ended the relationship being described.

I guess it's proof positive that little things—good or bad—mean a lot.
