Ex Romantics Recount the Moment They Knew Their Relationship Was Over: 'We were growing apart, not growing together'

Welcome, romantics. Hindsight is 20/20. We've all been in a relationship where, in the moment, we felt like we had truly found the one. Emotions and hormones were high, blinding us to the glaring red flags right in front of us. Only months, or even years later, after we have mourned the relationship, detached from the past, and reinvented ourselves, are we able to see just how bad the whole thing truly was. As we reflect on our failed relationships, many might be able to pinpoint the exact moment that the facade shattered — the very instance that they realized that their 'forever person' was destined to be temporary. In this heart-wrenching and far too real thread below, netizens recount the moment that they realized they would likely never recite vows and raise a family with the person they were seeing at the time. Scroll down to get in on the tea.
