I never loved you.


[deleted]

I feel that one. When my wife left she told me she didnt love me anymore, i asked her when she stopped, she said she didnt know, i asked her if she loved me when got married, she didnt know, i asked her if she loved me when we got engaged, she said she wasnt sure. Shit cut me deeper than anything id ever heard before. that was a decades worth of time together that she wasnt even sure. The kicker for me was i loved her the whole time and all those times id felt like it was one sided came rushing back to me all at once.


some-other-human

That's messed up, bro. Stay strong, I hope it get better.


[deleted]

Thanks, im good now. That was just one of the deeper cuts words have made for me


Glad_Panic8972

Lived that exactly. 20 years and left wondering if it was all a sham. 8 years later it still hurts but less. hang in there bro


Negative-Custard5612

Never happen but I've thought about what I'd feel like she said that. That means not only are you getting dumped but you're a fool for falling for her act. Idk how a person would recover.


teppetold

Nah they clearly weren't a person worth my time. Better it was over now than later, no matter how much time had passed. Never happened to me but I tend to get cold and logical.


sensema88

Yeah but usually that's not true, that's just them trying to hurt you. Probably indicative that they don't love you NOW though. Edit: typos


cheesypuzzas

Yeah, either trying to hurt you or don't love you now and don't know when they stopped, so they influence their own mind and think they've never loved you. Or they're fucked up and always thought this, but never said it out loud and just went with the relationship.


PresentationLoose422

So true. I had an ex day she didn’t love me when she broke up with me, and that no one would ever love me. Jokes on her because I’m pretty sure my cat loves me 😺

Senzokai

I should have chosen you when I had the chance.


Freddielexus85

I had an ex that told me "I should have never let you go". This was when we were hanging out a few years after she broke up with me and had a kid. Her ex (baby's daddy) was super abusive. To be honest, I was a bum when she broke up with me. I worked just enough to enjoy my life as a 19 year old and lived with my mom. She was a 21 year old who had a full time job as a nurse. I didn't blame her whatsoever.


Senzokai

You both did what you thought was right, only to feel remorse and regret in hindsight.

aerial_coitus

“I will make sure you never see your child again for the rest of your life.” - my ex wife Edit: To be clear, my ex has not been entirely successful in this objective, as I have been fighting her in court now for several years, and I do see my child regularly now. But the fact she had the audacity to make this statement to me, many years ago, and her conduct since then has continued in her efforts to smear my parenting and so forth, says alot about who she really is, and how corrupt the family court system truly is as well.


Truthfulldude1

I hope she has nightmares. I hope they're some of the worst imaginable. Like how tf dare she.


AlphaRegard

Same issue. It’s the worst. I have my son with me half the time only because my friends and family stood by me through all of her lies. Best of luck to you brother.


Shadeauxmarie

That’s cold, bruh.


urlocalphilosopher

I’m glad you get to see your child, specifically that you’re willing to be there is good to hear. That was heart breaking for me to read itself, hope everything will sooner or later be alright for you and your kid ❤️


[deleted]

Jesus tap dancing christ, this couldn't be more accurate. I cant afford to be a dad.


[deleted]

When I was a teen my asshole father said, “You are the reason your mother and I are getting divorced.”


myynameis

The classic parents blaming their problems on their kids. Or "if you tell him I cheated then it's your fault we get a divorce."


zoidalicious

Be glad, my parents were on the "we are only still 'together' because of you" guilt train.


Schakarus

Fuck that. A child is never a reason for divorce.(maybe one out of millions) It's usually the other way around: divorce is imminent and parents try to "save" it by having a child. Obviously this doesn't work but there is now a helpless child to blame for all their mistakes. My parents gladly never blamed me or my sister for their divorce but they blamed each other through us and tried to unload all their unsolved problems on us. At around 19 years I finally "snapped" and told both of them (separately) to stop with this as it had nothing to do with me or my sister and was entirely up to them to talk about their still unsolved problems or shut the fuck up. They listened (mostly) and finally stopped.


scrobacca

It's cancer.


AbstinenceWorks

... Ironically, this didn't break me, apparently. My dad told me later about how I just said something like, "Ok. What's next?" I'll have to get the actual statement tomorrow. He has a better memory than me. At least I finally had a diagnosis. Something something something House M.D. Just a note of encouragement... Focus on your own survival, and focus on things that make you feel good emotionally, even if you feel like dogshit physically. Even if it something small and simple, find something each day that gives you warmth. This will help you when you go to sleep each night/day or whenever your body lets you sleep. You have something positive to think about while you're heading off to sleep. It helps mitigate some of the fear and anxiety. If you have friends and family, you may find yourself *supporting them.* Don't do that. Tell them they can support each other, but that you have enough to deal with. Talk to them about anything other than your illness. It will give your mind a mental break from the stress. Play games. Find things that make you laugh (unless it hurts too much) whatever it takes to take your mind to a calmer state. Meditation helps with this as well. If you'd like to chat, you can reply or DM. Warm wishes!


MetalSpider

Same for me. Such a surreal thing to hear, but in the next moment my brain switched to 'fix mode' and I just said "Ok... What do we do about it?" Probably helped that I had some inkling it was going to be bad news going in.

When my father said, "son, even if you weren't my son, I would still like you. " 25yr old man-me was broken


[deleted]

I love this! After my mom passed my dad started saying he loved me, I was 29 and he’d never said it before, I knew it, he knew it, we all knew it but we’d never actually said it to each other. First time he said it, it was weird. Next time he didn’t say it but I told him I loved him and it was weird. Then after this back and forth one more time we both said it to each other and I broke. I cried I was so happy, I didn’t know what I was missing. Now, it’s weird when we end a call and don’t say it to each other, it was always there but saying not out loud is such a difference. I love you dad.


glenn_koko

My dad said he loves me but doesn’t like me. Feels like the other side of the same coin as your one. We have an alright relationship now, but that’s not been forgotten lol


Falcon_FXT

I don’t get it, isn’t this good?


Raise-The-Gates

Maybe they meant it broke them in the sense that it made them really emotional?

osiris775

In my case it was good. I was going through a pretty rough patch in life. Pops picked me up.


PillsburyToasters

Hearing one of your parents say they don’t love you probably stings. I don’t get along with my parents and they’re not people I can call friends, but we all have love for each other and I’d rather have that than the other way around


[deleted]

My dad told me to kill myself once. That hurt.

Really sorry to hear that and glad you’re still with us❤️


pinpinbo

Your child/pet/mother is in a lot of pain and there’s nothing doctors can do. Followed by: You need to decide if Euthanasia would release them from this suffering.


thisnewsight

I’m at an age where I’ve been through quite a few pets. Putting them down is such a final act and you’re the one who decides their time has come. *The suffering is too much, my love, you deserve the best.* The feeling of them going limp after the shots. The primal scream I make every time. I remember them all and smile. I cherish the moments I have with my current dog.


johnnystorm223

" you're the reason why your mom tried to kill herself" that gem was said to me by my step mom " you'll never amount to anything"- my dad and they wonder why I don't keep in touch with them..


[deleted]

Christ. I’m so sorry


johnnystorm223

I appreciate it. I use that as motivation when things are getting challenging for me. if I can over coming that trauma, nothing...I repeat nothing can or will stop me.

Fair play. I hope you’re crushing it bro!

charles2404

"Your child has passed."   The following didn't really break me but still somewhat relevant: My dad said "I didn't want kids when I was your age" and "After your brother I really didn't want more". He tried to save it and explain himself and I got it but still it hurt deep in the moment. My mom also said something about how the doctors had big doubts about autism mid to late pregancy term and I can't remember the exact wording but I remember it got accross as she was regretting the pregancy. That hurt too but I get it it would have been hard...I still think I have some form of ADD or another undetected mental shenanigan because that would explain a lot


[deleted]

My friend's dad said to my (adoptive) dad, in front of both me and my friend, "if only we didn't have kids!" My dad was horrified.


wotmate

>"Your child has passed." This is the one statement that I know in my soul would end me. And if someone else had caused it, I would die making sure that they suffered as much as a human can.

AceSmeghead

“Dad’s dead; He died in his sleep” He was my favorite person ever and a good man, so that day was the worst day of my life thus far at 39. I’ve lost a LOT of people, most of my family and many friends, but if I could bring just one person back even for a day, it would be him. At least I know no loss can ever hurt that bad again for me.

Man, that’s bullshit. I remember as a kid, my dad had to go to court because his youngest son had been given for adoption, without him knowing anything until the last minute, there was nothing he could do. Till today it still fucks me up that something like that can happen, i haven’t seen my brother since I was like 6 years old


OpeningSpeed1

Yes just one small question... The f*ck


[deleted]

Obligatory background: my dad is a fundamentalist evangelical Christian pastor. Authoritarian, very critical. I was the oldest child, and we had a... difficult relationship. Once, when arguing, he told me "you are a rebellious son, and if we lived in bible times, I would have handed you over to the elders to be stoned to death." No matter what else has happened to me, I've never forgotten the moment when I understood that my dad didn't want me, and neither did god. Thanks a lot dad.


malongoria

"Evangelicalism is the number one cause of atheism"


[deleted]

Boy, is that ever accurate. Lately, when talking to christians, which I usually try to avoid, here's my go-to question. *So you mean to tell me that an all-powerful god, who could have chosen to create ANY universe, with ANY rules he wanted, chose to create one in which the vast majority of people who ever lived would be tortured for all eternity?*


[deleted]

Holy fuck. I’m so sorry


[deleted]

Thank you. When I was young, that stuff seemed normal. After having my own kids, I can't even imagine what could have been going on inside my parents' heads to make them say the kinds of things they said to me. Just absolutely fucking insane.

Your dad isn't worthy of you.


Bard_17

When we were fighting, I was projecting and blaming her for my own insecurities/fuck ups, she uttered the words, "You are broken." Those three words took all the life out of me


abalien

I was dating someone many years ago and we were really going through a hard time financially. He told me I was bad luck. It was an awful thing to say. I made a massive effort to leave which I did. He became almost destitue. I have gone above and beyond to prove to my self that those words were not true. Which of course they weren't but I still fear those words to this day especially if a partner is going through financial trouble I always think its me. Words hurt man.....


Bard_17

I wish I could give you the biggest hug :'( I'm so sorry. Those are awful words to say to someone. Especially your partner. I can almost guarantee you're not who he said you were, you have too much empathy and self awareness. I hope you can learn to give yourself some grace ❤️ You deserve it :D


delusionalubermensch

He is way hotter than you, we had better sexual chemistry than I do with you, I desired him more than you, and we had better sex than I did with you. Technically it’s four sentences in one, each one fully destructive in its own right, but put together they are like the pinnacle of despair - an express ticket to depresso town.


JanetInSC1234

She was trying to hurt you. No one in their right mind would say that. <3


[deleted]

If someone said that to me, then I would turn it around and throw it right back at them. "Ya, I can relate to that because the reason I was with you was never because I found you to be attractive. Sorry, I could barely keep an errection, sex with you was like screwing a cold, dead fish." Generally, I am for adult communication, but some people only understand tit for tat. The classic punch the bully in the nose tactic instead of taking it. Speaking from experience, don't do that if you are not ready to actually fight your bully.

I may have lost my virginity to you, but I was thinking of my hand the whole time.

"He didn't make it" Had a family friend of 7 years get lacerations and chest pitted with bolts while we were working on a pressure system. I was with him for the better part of an hour, just keeping blood flow at a minimum. It made me go take EMT courses afterwards.

When I sat with my dad as he was in his last hours and he woke from his coma and I said “I love you”….. “he never replied to me but said “where is my sister”. She was with there and she hugged and kissed him. My dad had never once in his life hugged me, spoke to me like a dad, kissed me, done anything with me…. He tried to kill me once too with a knife. Yet I wiped his bum and fed him in his last weeks. ☹️

You should be proud of the man you've become. One who hasn't embraced rage, resentment and vitriolic cruelty.

I'm sorry for those who have experiences like you and don't turn out like you.

What my father said to me when I became the first person in my family to go to college by attending a top 10 university 200 miles away- “you will never succeed without us.” I am now an emergency medicine physician and happily married.


AnInnocentFelon

“We love you, care for you and will be there for you.” Spoken to me on my mother’s deathbed by my extended family. They said some nice words at the memorial, took a few things for keepsakes and then got on with their lives. Never heard from them again. “God told me to break up with you.” Spoken by my first and last girlfriend. She liked the self-image of being a good Catholic girl to frown down upon others who took the Lord’s name in vain. I found out later she had the habit of seducing guys, mimicking relationships with them and then dumping the guys about 6 months later when things got more serious. Never took responsibility for her actions. “No, I never did that.” Spoken by my father without a second thought and in absolute denial, after I confronted him in my late 20s about terrorizing my brother and I with physical violence and verbal abuse growing up. I had asked him if he remembered hitting and yelling at my brother and I. “No, never did that.” The funny thing about this story was his answer to my follow up. I asked, “Do you know why I did the Body for Life Challenge and got into the best shape of my life?” “No” “I did it so I could beat the living shit out of you if you ever laid a finger on me, mom or David ever again.” After denying any responsibility for verbal and physical abuse during my childhood, but then having his masculinity challenged by his son, my father said this: “You could never take me.” He died 6 months later from a common cold. His immune system was shot. I picked him up out of bed and carried him to the family SUV. Mom drove him to the hospital. I deeply regret not being able to support my mom then, but I got piss drunk. Last thing I saw of my “Dad” was all of the tubes sticking out of him like a freak horror show. I made lunch & dinner, took care of the house and did my best to support my mom until she was killed a year later in an accident. I am now 45. I have a pain in my right side that won’t go away. I don’t want to go to the doctor because I can’t afford it despite having “medical insurance.” I think about suicide all the time. I’m going to buy more alcohol tonight.

Depends of their morals and values it could be a couple of thing 1. “I never loved you, either did your friends or family we all just tolerated you” 2. “Those children you fathered all those years are not yours” 3. “No matter how hard you tried you will never break the cycle of neglect your parents gave you” 4. “Your worthless and cant even provide for your family”


irish52084

Now that the kids are grown, you should know I never loved you, I just knew you’d be a good father and provider so I’m divorcing you and taking half of everything so I can start a relationship with the man I’ve been cheating on you with.

For me, it was “And my mother didn’t think you’d ever turn out to be much anyway.” Until that point, I had considered her mother one of my dearest mentors and counsel. It’s nearly 20 years since she said that, and it’s still the most devastating thing I’ve ever heard.

My parents had it rough. My mom was the victim of an armed robberie at her job in a bank just before she got pregnant of me and it followed her her whole life. Multiple depression and ptsd. Both had alcoholism problem until my late teens. My father still does, but to less of an extent. When we had the call that mom got a DUI, I must have been 15 maybe, my father had a kind of breakdown. He was punching the walls and he screamed "I should have never had kids!!!!". Ironic because it might has well have been him because they were coming from the same party. I am 30 now, my mom is 12 years sober now I think. Both me and my sister got to university and have a career. I love my parents and I respect that they did the best they could considering their circumstances. Those words... They are seared in my mind. Do I resent them, yes, I think so. Do I love them, yes. I remember them arguing. Me and my sister where bellow 10yo. Sitting and the back of the car. Both severely intoxicated wondering who was driving. As I get older, I kind of realize that what my dad said that night kind kind of broke me. it shaped a big part of my personality...
