Okay, Reddit… this one makes me feel like the worst person alive.
My ex (let’s call him “Jake”) was in the hospital recovering from a minor surgery. Nothing life-threatening, just a procedure he needed. While he was there, I found out he had been cheating on me. I won’t go into all the details, but it was a huge betrayal.
So when I went to visit him, I was hurt, angry, and honestly just overwhelmed. And I… broke up with him right there. In his hospital bed.
I know I had every reason to end things—cheating is not okay—but seeing him weak, groggy, and vulnerable while I said it… oh god, I feel awful. I keep replaying it in my head and feeling like a monster, even though logically I know I did the right thing.
TL;DR: Found out my ex was cheating, broke up with him while he was in the hospital, and now I feel like the worst human being ever—even though he deserved it.
