We spent the entire date thinking back and talking about favorite times together, things we'll miss about each other, how we've affected each other's life in so many good ways. On the last day of our relationship, I decided to take her out on one last date night. It was mutual and we both knew it was best for us, so we decided one day to break up. She's 20 and wants to be married and have kids soon, and I'm 21 and wanted to date her for a while and get married and have kids around age 30. We dated for over a year and were each other's best friends, we completely understand each other, and we are still madly in love with each other, but it was best for us to break up because we weren't in the same place. I hope you have some tissues handy because these sad stories might just make you ugly cry. I came across an AskReddit thread inviting Reddit users to share the most heartbreaking story from their love lives, and hundreds of brokenhearted people replied with their tales of love gone wrong. Though losing a lover can be an isolating experience, it might make you feel better to know that you're not alone. People move away, change their priorities, find new careers, and - on the path to finding themselves - they may find their partner doesn't fit into the equation. Sometimes, a relationship reaches a quiet conclusion, which can be even more painful than a messy split. The end of a relationship doesn't necessarily include betrayal and big blowups.

A sad story is sometimes the best love story. Sorry to be a downer, friends, but it's true. But before you get a happy fairytale ending, there's a chance you'll collect a sad love story or two along the way.

DW, heartbreak won't stop you from moving on and pursuing new relationships. You might fall for someone who doesn't return your phone calls or dates your best friend or simply doesn't feel the same way you do. Love stories don't always have a happy ending.
