One of the external factors that can put an end to a relationship is a person outside of it. Redditor Heyjalapeno was specifically curious about this, so she started an online discussion with the question “Couples who have broken up because of a third person that did not involve cheating, what happened?” Below you’ll find the most popular answers from people who had their relationships ruined in the most uncanny of ways. While you’re scrolling through, don’t forget to check out a conversation we had with Heyjalapeno, who kindly agreed to tell us what inspired her to start this interesting debate.

Heyjalapeno shared that “Marrying outside of your religion isn’t very common in the South Asian community, and more often than not, it’s the parents who present the staunchest opposition for the same. She is going to end her relationship with her boyfriend and marry a man from her community. I just wanted to know if people all over the world have had their relationship broken because of a third person that didn’t involve cheating and I was surprised. The answers to my question were like a nightmare come to life.”

“As much as we want to believe that communication and understanding solves everything, real life does not work that way. Sometimes it’s your religion, your friends, your family, or even your pet that can undo a relationship: you reach a place that only goes two ways. That being said, I truly believe a healthy relationship cannot be ruined by a third person but it can end because of one: those two aren’t the same thing according to me.”

“It’s such a double-edged sword getting relationship advice from strangers. On one hand, you get a third-person perspective about your relationship; on the other, it can make you think something is wrong with your relationship even when there isn’t. I, however, believe that the only reason you’d look for a third person’s perspective (mostly from an anonymous and unbiased jury) is when you already know your relationship isn’t what you want it to be.”
