What's the worst way to break up with someone or the worst way you've been dumped?

[ch33zecake]

Wow some of you have been through the ringer.

 

Well, the worse for me was through a text message which is my most recent breakup.

 

I believe that's a really cowardly way to end things off, but I guess she didn't have it in her to confront me about it. The funny thing is, she had mentioned that she would never end things off through text.

 

I guess getting a breakup text is far better than being ghosted.

The worst way I've been dumped/rejected is the non breakup type of way. This has actually happened more then once. Instead of the guy just ending it, they make excuses on why they cannot be w/me. They would tell me how amazing I am, they don't deserve me etc. Then they add that they may be "ready" in the future when in reality they are just not interested.

I knew he had broken up with me when he changed his profile picture on social media from one of us to one of just his dog.

 

Looking back, I think he was expecting me to cry and beg for an explanation because I got breadcrumbs periodically over the next year...which I completely ignored.

Well being left for another man and instantly replaced. The day before we were playing with our kids at the park. The next day her profile picture was her and him. And all.calls and texts were ignored. I was shocked and finally she said later that night that she was a coward and that she felt sorry for him because his ex left him for another man. And he was more serious and listened to her? He was a drug addict coworker. 6 months later she came back. After they got into a huge fist fight.

Three years meant nothing .

 

The way I see it. Every relationship is temporary until the next best thing comes along. I bet every body in this world has a price and they would trade there love for it.

Hey OP,

 

Ghosting is the worst in my opinion. It can destroy a person's ability to trust in anyone which by the same token can stop them from ever getting close to anyone as well. There are very few reasons in my books that can justify such an action.

 

The second worst is dumping via text or DM. Yes, atleast they let you know it was over but still an extremely disrespectful way to do it. This was the worst way I was dumped.

 

Yes, whether they end it in person or on the phone, the breakup will still suck and you'll hurt no matter what but you will respect them for ending it the way they did, eventually. At the end of the day, breakups are never pleasant, but you started it up together, you were in it together..so you end it together. That's how I see it.

Also agree that ghosting is the worst. The other person spends too long waiting for you you to make contact and find out the reality of what's happening. And, to be honest, it's the coward's way out. By ghosting you're avoiding having a tough conversation, and it just shows your lack of courage.

 

Texting/calling is the same deal. You're avoiding having to deal with the other person's emotions. By breaking up in person you get the opportunity to understand why things are happening the way they are. It hurts no matter what, but breaking up the right way helps people get back on track quicker.

Well my ex broke up w me after her vacation trip to asian. We talking all nice the day before hen the next day break up out of no where. Break up by text not in person. 2 month later talk on phone asking my help for money. She said she under stress cant be in a relationship but 3 week later with someone else. I guess I cause her stress lol. I didnt help her at all. I just void her at all cost.

Really I think sending your partner a sex tape with your new partner as a form of breaking up would be worse than ghosting or texting. And I think OJ and his wife had a pretty bad breakup too.

Well, shooting partners in the foot would be also worse, but ghosting is sadly a regular stuff nowadays. The fact that your love, the one you trusted the most is ignoring you and literally escaping from your life is not an easy situation and hard to process.

 

Actually I think it's easier to accept it if you get such a sex tape, because although you'll be broken as well, the feelings of anger and hate help you to move on easier. Another topic is your ability to trust again though.

I believe that feeling anger is easier than sadness/confusion after a breakup. Someone doing something so outrageous at least gives you a clear picture of how bad that person has done you. When you're left wondering what has happened and if it could have been fixed or feeling like you might have been in the wrong is a way longer torture. Or at least that's what I think.

I don't agree that breaking up with someone in person helps them understand the breakup any bette or get back on track any faster than doing it over the phone/text.

Getting dumped within an hour of first-time sex. Cause the person suddenly realised they definitely don't want a relationship after all.
