Good points, yes. I've never told a woman, when breaking up with her, that she was at fault or even the reason. I've usually blamed my immaturity or commitment-phobia. I've put the onus on me.

 

As for women who've breaken up with me, they've been more candid and critical. They have taken some shots.

 

Too small a sample from which to draw gender conclusions, yet still interesting.

I would have appreciated it if he had TOLD me he had broken up with me. Instead he only told his new girlfriend. She knew about it a week before I did.

 

 

Really, I do appreciate being told, in person or over the phone, but not in a letter or email. Or when my husband left me one time, the security guard at the building I worked at called me and said that he had an envelope for me. It contained the check book, the car/apartment keys, and a note stating he sold the VCR and used some of the savings money and was leaving. I drove like a maniac home and found his wedding ring on the table and a video tape of him saying goodbye! (we were in counseling a LONG time after that breakup & that was about 15 or 16 years ago now) That was crappy. That was his midlife crisis moment too and now I look back and laugh my head off because he had bought a bike and a gun and was going to bicycle to Canada, but the load on his bike shifted and damaged the rear wheel of his bike and he called me to come pick him up! I let him stew a while then I got him home.

Sheesh over the phone,email,txt? Tell me in person if you want to break up with me, and when you do break up with me tell it it's over and there can NEVER be an us. Don't give me this BS that "I do not know if I would want to get back with you later on." Don't tell me that you are "sorry" for hurting me. And please do not tell me that you are confused, because you sure made up your mind somehow. And lastly do not tell me that you want to be my friend...cuz all I have to say is FU!

 

Thats how I feel about the break up over the phone. :)

GOOD for you, Hurting :) Just cut to the chase, and skip the BS, because you see what happens to those that have gotten a ration of it. Those are the people with threads such as, "He says he wants to be friends, but what does that mean?" It means you got dumped, and they were trying to be "nice" about it. There is nothing nice about a break, though.

 

I can see where you are coming from, that you'd prefer it to be done in person vs. over the phone or some other form of non in person way. I guess to some extent it shows how weak they are, a coward at that, but I really could care less LOL

 

Right...cut to the chase, and FU ROTFL

Hey...hurting....

 

You know, you're so right about that "I'm sorry" bit. You're not sorry, if you are knowingly hurting me. You could make a different choice...right? I got so sick of hearing that...I finally said, before I got dumped, in the vein of the Princess Bride..."I do not think that word means what you think it means"!

Kevin says, Next time I break up with a girl, I'm gonna say to her, "How many people here are in a relationship, raise your hand? Not so fast, sweetheart..."

 

Your post are just too funny, I love your stlye.

 

Seriously, I never been told "It's over", I normally am the one to end things. Until recently that is. My last two long term relationships ended the very same way almost. I have felt it was over in everything that person no longer did and no longer said. It was crystal clear by the lack of spending time together and the scraps of the spare time they offered you. I say scraps of time, because if it were food you would starve on the s**it they offered.

 

It is the same as a break up but worst because your left feeling so clueless as to what went wrong and why was it unfixable. You ask and there is a denial that it's a breakup. You say, "But things are different and I know I am no longer happy." They say, "It's all in your head your getting to deep." However, it is a breakup, just a new and crueler form. A mind game. A way of them hanging on without having to let go but giving up all responsiblities. In this instant, I think it would be so much easier to hear, "Look, I think your beautiful, funny as hell, ahhhh your so great in bed, I love the way your always there for me, I simply love....but your not the type of girl I want to bring home to mama." Gee what a nice break up. So sweet!

 

 

Ahh but then I would have to wake up ! :D !:( !:o !
