"We had embryos together, this was my person," she said on the "Armchair Expert" podcast, recalling the moment she knew something didn't feel right. "I remember telling my brother, when things had first kind of gone down, 'I'm living with a stranger. Like, I don't know what's happening.' It wasn't just, 'Oh, I'm losing a relationship.' It was that I believed that if we broke up or, you know, if he left basically, it was a confirmation that it's because I'm impossible. I'm lucky that he's even tolerating my bulls--t."]]>https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Anna-Kendricks-Most-Candid-Relationship-Dating-Confessions-006.jpg?quality=86&strip=all<![CDATA[January 2023]]><![CDATA[During her "Armchair Expert" appearance, the Tony nominee remembered how she discovered the "capital-T truth" about her former partner's infidelity.

"I ended up emailing this young woman and saying, 'I just think it's fair that you know that I know. I don't put this at your doorstep. You made a mistake, but you're 25. We've all done stupid s--t.

She told the Los Angeles Times that she was gaslit into feeling like a "monster" by an ex. "That was a big part of my problem. 'Well he never hit me, and I'm not really afraid that he's going to hit me. How do I discern between normal conflict and abuse? Why is my body in so much fear all of the time?'" she noted of experiencing psychological abuse. "You don't have to believe that it might get physical for you to feel like you're allowed to leave, that you deserve to be treated better, deserve to feel safe."]]>https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Anna-Kendricks-Most-Candid-Relationship-Dating-Confessions-002.jpg?quality=86&strip=all<![CDATA[November 2016]]><![CDATA[Kendrick divulged her biggest dating mistakes and desires in her book Scrappy Little Nobody.

None of us do. But it would be so nice to believe that someone out there did, and that maybe they could take the wheel for a little while."]]>https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Anna-Kendricks-Most-Candid-Relationship-Dating-Confessions-00532.jpg?quality=86&strip=all<![CDATA[April 2016]]><![CDATA[The Broadway vet poked fun at her then-single status in a tweet that turned oddly steamy.

A guy who finds it amusing to make you uncomfortable which is more common than you'd think is someone you want to avoid."In the same interview, Kendrick revealed what she learned from her parents' divorce.
