Addison312 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I'm having a rough day today so I decided to make a thread for once: How did your ex break up with you? Which ones have you used in the past and which do you prefer? My ex did it over the phone. Twice. The second time was when I called him to see if he was okay (had recently been complaining of flu-like symptoms). He proceeded to apologize about how he let me down, then went on a rant about himself, his life, his stress...ultimately dumping me. I don't know, but I wish he would have respected my feelings enough to do it in person. It may have made it harder though since I don't like crying in front of people and I was very upset. As for me, I've done it all, even ghosting when I was a lot younger. I'd never do that to someone now, nor would I text. How much better is in-person than over the phone? I found that when I was completely over it, I was able to break up with people in-person more easily. I did end things over the phone a couple of times with people I still cared for. I didn't want to see them and change my mind. What about everyone else?

My first boyfriend dumped me over the phone, but he's a piece of sh** and I later found out he had been cheating on me for most of our relationship. With my last boyfriend, I broke up with him, all 3 times, in person. I really don't think there's any way around breaking up in person if you were in a serious relationship. I think doing it any other way is kinda cruel...
Author Addison312 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 I agree, although it can be more acutely painful. I wish I would have had the right situation to look him in the eye and have him do the same.
orionboxing Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) I'm trying to add this all up in my head... I've dumped three girls. One girl I dumped three times. She came off as a friend at first...and I couldn't develop feelings for her. So I decided to break ties. Two weeks later I reconsidered and started seeing her again. A week into starting over with her, I found photos of her making out with some dude at a bar on her camera literally two days after I called it off the first time. Dumped her again. She pleaded, sent emails, texted, cried, sent emails, and I took her back AGAIN. Two years later we got married....she treated me like garbage for nearly three straight years and I divorced her. I gave this woman soooo many chances. Turns out she was really mentally ill. Long story...sorry. I've been dumped by two girls. One of these girls I actually dumped previously and she returned the favor a year later (she remains the most diabolical, evil woman I've ever met). I took her back after she practically cried and begged for another chance....then few months later she just dropped all contact and in literally in 48 hours was dating a guy I always hated since I was in middle school. I acted like a f__king fool to get her back and totally embarrassed myself. I vowed to never act that way again...I regret giving her that much of myself. Her relationship with that guy ended up lasting a three whole weeks! Had only one breakup that was mutual. It was a college relationship, and when the semester was over we went on summer break and just couldn't work out the long distance crap. I kind of laugh at it now.... Hopefully some others have some pretty good stories here... Edited March 13, 2013 by orionboxing
