Men Reveal The Intense Reasons They Suddenly Ended Their Long-Term Relationships

No one gets in a relationship with an expected expiration date.

When things start to blossom with a new love interest, ideally, you're in it for the long haul. You want things to last forever. There's a sense of excitement in getting to know one another over time and continuing to celebrate how long you've existed as a couple through repeated anniversaries.

That being said, it's hard to fully trust that something will eternally last even with all the love in the world.

Sometimes, things just happen. People can fall out of love and long-term relationships fall apart. People can realize that "the one" they're with may be an amazing human, but they're just not "the one" they're supposed to be with.

The very wise Selena Gomez once said "the heart wants what it wants," and I don't think she's ever been more right.

A whole bunch of men took to Reddit to reveal the one thing that made them suddenly jump ship and call it quits on their own long-term relationship.

Everyone's got a valid reason.
