breakup

Every romantic relationship is put to the test when conflict inevitably arises. There's nothing inherently wrong with conflict—but the relationship can quickly fall apart if healthy communication, trust, and boundaries are lacking. One redditor asked couples counselors to share their experiences with toxic relationships that were beyond help. We've collected some of the most interesting responses from both therapists and former patients who talk about all the common red flags that point to a relationship's failure. 

Looks like 2021 has claimed its first victims. You know, besides the thousands of people who have died of Covid-19. Page Six dropped a bomb on pop culture fanatics yesterday. The bomb? That Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting divorced. The exclusive report claims that multiple sources have come forward to share that "divorce is imminent" for the couple. This isn't the first time a tabloid has teased their journey to Splitsville, but Page Six cites Kanye's absence from the Kardashian family holiday celebrations and Kim's equally absent wedding ring as proof that they are calling it quits. 

The high profile couple has yet to speak on the matter, but people on Twitter are making up for their silence with some seriously funny and scathing reactions. While some people are giddy about the news (people who love drama, Kanye fans who crave new music), other Twitter users are using this moment to call out Kim and Kanye for their narcissism, money-hungry families, and some of the more ridiculous stunts of their relationship. And then there are the people who claim they don't care - but for some reason feel the need to tell the world about it. 

It's like clockwork. Winter's bleakness recedes, and everyone who cuffed up for the cold nights is starting to feel that itch. It's officially breakup season. These memes are designed to help get you out of the misery hole and back on market to take advantage of those sexy summer flings. 

If these memes aren't doing the trick, these ex-related memes might give you the spiteful solace you crave. If you're still coupled, well, here are some boring memes about your successful love. Enjoy.

These memes won't necessarily help you forget about your ex, but they will help you mask the pain with inappropriate amounts of sass.

Just remember it can always be worse, as proven by these people admitting to the pettiest reasons they broke up with someone.

Hello there, internet friend. Are you feeling blue? Maybe you're going through a tough breakup or you've had enough of being single? Or maybe you're just sad for no damn reason. Sometimes you wake up on the depressing side of the bed and decide there's nothing better to do than just lie there and wallow. Well how about some painfully relatable self-deprecating memes to keep you company? We might not be able to break the sadness spell, but we can always offer some good ol' reliable memes! These funny tidbits also serve as a reminder that we've all been there, you're not alone, and this too shall pass.

As far as cringey online interactions go, this one is definitely up there for the amount of discomfort it makes us feel. It takes a lot of guts (read: stupidity) to ask your friend if he'll break up with his girlfriend for you. This dude very clearly gives zero f*cks!

Breaking up with someone you were in love with is one of the worst feelings any human can experience. But at the end of the day, it's likely that you're better off without that other person, so cheers to your new single life! Now get out there and meet some other people! Or don't, we just want you to be happy.

Long distance relationships are hard. There's the lack of physical intimacy, dealing with different time-zones, and for many people, the constant worry of a wandering eye. When it all gets to be too much, you either choose to end it via phone, or in person, if you're exceptionally mature. Neither of these options seemed suitable to one very creative woman named Cheyenne. Cheyenne decided to use Cameo to break up with her long distance boo, Brayden - and chose Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray to deliver the difficult news. 

This is the first Cameo breakup we've ever seen, and the tweet that brought it to our attentionhas gone completely viral - so we're willing to bet this is novel to a lot of people. Even the responses are pure gold, low-effort "When It's Over" reference included. 

It's easy to get caught up in the mindset that you can't live without your significant other, even if you're absolutely miserable being with them. Especially if you're young, you may feel like if you break up then no one will ever truly love you again. Well guess what? You will find someone new and the relationship will be even better. We promise you that.

Breakups are tough on all of us, and everyone deals with them in their own unique way. Some people, like this guy's ex-girlfriend, go on the rebound and immediately get into a relationship with the first person that comes their way. This girl was clearly NOT over her last relationship!
