Hollywood and the media wants to talk a lot about the blissful high of falling in love with somebody new, but far fewer stories and character deep dives go into the opposite side of that coin – falling out of love, sometimes with that very same person.

That some relationships don’t last forever is just a fact of life, though, and these 11 people aren’t afraid to reveal what it was like for them when they realized the love just wasn’t there anymore.

11. This is too many people’s stories.

Guys seriously need to step up their game.

4. A problem of his own making.

And most likely, one that cannot be fixed.

3. Sometimes you just know it’s time to move on.

If they can’t be there for the small stuff, what about the big stuff?

1. The two of you should be a team.

Otherwise, what’s the point of it all?
