In many cases, many women don't know the man they're married to until the complacency and neglect starts. What was the honeymoon phase five years ago to the day is now a roommate situation with no promise of upward mobility in sight. Ladies: When you're partner decides that you are no longer worth the effort that it takes to keep a relationship flourishing, it's time for you to give them the boot.

In this next story, a woman leaves her husband a note on Reddit where she cites four years of spousal neglect and emphasizes his obsession with his PlayStation 5. In a poetic fashion, she talks about all the instances in which he refused to be a loving husband to her, and that this type of blindside is completely warranted. Instead of continuing to beg for his attention, she leaves him with the thing he loves most: His prized video game console. Scroll to read.

    Tiny update: Yes, Dan has seen the note. He sent me a text with just a bunch of question marks and hasn't said anything since. For the record, I took my cat, my plants, and my self-respect when I walked out the door.

    Hi Dan, Since your PS5 gets more of your attention than I do, I figured I'd leave this note here. By the time you read this, I'll already be gone. I've

    let's be honest, you'll act like this came out of nowhere. So, let me spell it out for you: I (31F) have been married to my husband (34M) for six years, and for the last

    Remember our anniversary last year? I made dinner reservations, dressed up, and you... forgot. When I reminded you, you told me, "Let's just order pizza and

    And it's not just the little things you forget. It's the big ones too. Like the fact that I told you a dozen times I wanted kids, and every time you'd say, "Yeah, we'll talk about it later." Newsflash: "Later" has turned into never.

    So, I'm done. I'm done begging for scraps of your time. I'm done with the constant dismissiveness. I'm done being treated like an inconvenience in my own marriage.

    Good luck explaining this one to your mom. She always did think you were "too good for me," right? Sincerely, Your soon-to-be ex-wife.
