My ex ended it with me because he thought I wasn't thin enough and he 'deserved' better. He also cheated on me multiple times, but I didn't find out about that until we broke up.
My very first relationship, he broke it off because he was moving out of state. I found out via his twin brother that they had been planning the move for months. He sprung it on me last minute.

One wanted children, I didn't. We had been living together and working on projects together. It was a great partnership - work and otherwise. I thought he was going out West to go for the MFA, then into the studio system the same as me (and anyone in our concentration who wanted to work in that industry at the time). So I said "I'm moving to __ soon, are you going also? I'm not talking marriage - not pressuring you - I just want to know if I should include you or if you're doing your own thing." And he was looking really funny, so I said "I kinda need to know" and he blurted out "you don't want to have kids!" Well, that was brand new. I was taught to never ask a man about marriage - if he wants to be with you, he'll introduce the subject, so we never had any of those conversations and I assumed we were going to live together until we got established and then go our separate ways. We continued living together, though we moved into a two bedroom so each of us could date. He did get married to a nice lady, stayed in-state, never did work for the studios (he was really talented) - but he's very happy, so it all worked out.
There are other LTRs if you wanna hear 'em. I assume you're just curious.
mine are, because we weren't getting along, were on and off. and another, because it turned into long distance and she didn't put in the time and effort for me to move. and another, because she was too into going out with her friends. i've never been broken up with, but then i didn't choose the best gfs.
#1. Tired of her cheating ass and met someone waaay better. 4 yrs
#2. Mutual break-up because we were fighting too much. 10 months
#3. I tried to break up with her and she told me grownups try harder. She broke up with me 3 months later because I was moving away. 13 months
#4. I broke up with her because I felt like the only adult in the relationship. 7 years
All of these are slightly more complicated than what I put, but that was the jist.
I actually developed a self esteem. 4 years with a selfish woman who only thought about herself, and did things for her advantage, I finally snapped out of it. The first 2 years were great, but the last 2 years we did more arguing with small moments where things were working out fine. Eventually at the end, I thought to myself if I actually was more miserable with her than without her. And the answer was that I was. So moving on wasn't that hard. I thought she was a nice woman, but she was definitely in a different part of her life. I think the last 2 years I was waiting for her to change, but then I thought about how long it would actually take that change to happen, and if I would keep my sanity at the end of it. It was tough, and I when I told her the issues I was having with her she didn't seem too interested in addressing it. So I told her that I was moving on with my life, and I have never talked to her again since that day 8 years ago.

That's it for me.
Seems like you dodged a bullet there. Hopefully you didn't have kids with him, and at least you didn't marry him. I'm sure that hurts, but at least you didn't commit more of yourself to someone like that.
