Ladies, beware. Some men are taking breakups to new heights (literally) and unsettling extremes with a toxic trend now dubbed the “alpine divorce.” Instead of ending a relationship with honesty and respect (honestly, even a text would be better), some are inviting their partner on a hike, only to rush ahead or abruptly end things and disappear, sometimes leaving them stranded miles from help with no service or a clear way back.

In February, TikTok user @everafteriya went viral with over 4 million views after sharing her frightening experience. Filming herself in tears atop a rocky mountain, she revealed that her boyfriend had broken up with her mid hike.

“He left me by myself, I should have never come with him… I hate him so much, I feel so terrible. This is the worst Saturday of my life,” the TikTok user sobbed in her video.
