Love is a very juicy topic. We wouldn’t have thousands of songs, books, and movies dedicated to the topic if that wasn’t the case—nor would they exist if romantic relationships were always plain sailing. A big part of the reason for our interest in love is that the highest of highs can be followed by the lowest of lows. 

Rock bottom means different things for different couples, and sometimes the worst is saved until last. Some may bristle at being ghosted after three dates, but that’s probably preferable to some of the wild breakup stories that were shared in a recent Reddit thread. 

Ranging from a lot of unnecessary awkwardness to straight-up insanity, nobody would want to find themselves with a story like this to tell. It just goes to show that not every happily ever after is guaranteed, or will ever be exactly how it seems from the outside.
