What's the worst way that you got dumped

Post Reply New Topic

For me I would have to say being dumped through a greeting card.

So bad you had to post about it 3 times in 2 mins ?

only joking
thats quite harsh

erm..................idk.

the only bad experience I've had was via instant messenger............but she and I are on good terms now....even if we only speak once every couple o months.

i was a freshman in highschool and he was a sophmore

he called me one night and we were just talking on the phone like we usually did (i hate talking on the phone, but if i remember correctly-- in highschool, that mainly consisted of holding the phone jack up to a stereo system and sharing music with eachother!)

anyway, right when we were about to say goodnight... he said, "oh hey, by the way... i'm breaking up with you," and then he hung up.

next day at school.... i heard from friends that he was dating a 7th grader.

at the time.... it was pretty harsh

lol

The worst way i have been dumped by friend or boyfriend is the slowly growing apart aproach. It is passive agressive and cowardly. This is where said friend pretends to still be your friend but slowly over time stops calling, returning your emails, etc. I would much rather if everyone was honest with one another and said things like, "look, i don't think it makes sense for us to be in contact as much/any more and here is why . . .". The BS of people ignoring you without saying why and then still acting friendly once in awhile is more painful than the harshest words you could receive. I truly think that even platonic friends and casual dates should officially "break up" with one another so that everyone knows where they stand and no one gets confused. I know that the ignoring and growing apart technique is common among neurotypicals, and may even be considered polite or natural. I think it is atrocious behavior and i lose respect for those who use it on me. (which is perhaps their desired result?). Oh well.

oh and freshman year of college this guy broke up with me on Instant messenger. I didn't really care, but i told lots of people and we made fun of him behind his back for acting like a freaking 12 year old.

"We need to stop talking"

Those exact words.

I'd say it was when my first boyfriend ever dumped me for another guy. It kind of does a number on that little thing I like to call "self confidence".

MomofTom, yikes! i can see that would be hard to deal with! At the same time though, you can know it had nothing to do with you as an individual. It was all him, confused about his sexuality. In fact, my first crush/obsession/limerance never felt anything for me, and he turned out to be gay. This was so far down the road, though, that instead of hurting, I actually felt really good about it. I now knew why he never 'liked' me, and it had nothing do do with me! (well, he may not have ever liked me even if he was straight, but i still had a logical reason.) It was good for my self-esteem. Maybe now you can look at your situation that way.

My first girlfriend did not break up with me, I stumbled upon her at the movies, where I was seeing a movie with my family. I was going to the restroom, and when I came out, I noticed her at the snack bar with another guy. Her name was Claudia (and I have mentioned her quite a bit on WP), and her actions are the reason I don't date NTs.

Tim

yes.

thank you TIm.

I recently moved across the country to live with someone in the hopes of getting married and living happily ever after. I adjusted to living in a new place, enrolled in the local university as a Biotechnologist so we could have a prosperous future, cleaned the house for her, watched her perform in plays at work, made all sorts of plans and concocted many dreams with her. Love was in the air. Everything seemed perfect. After two months I was blind-sided (last Monday) with the phrase, "I'm not happy when I'm with you.". She made it clear that I was to leave ASAP. I packed everything and drove back to my hometown. My friends here disowned me when I left, so I'm pretty much alone now but I guess I'm better equipped to be a loner than most. Feels like a ton of bricks dropped on me. Merry f***ing Christmas. Although, I suppose it's better that we split before classes started or babies were conceived.

I never been in a real relationship so no.
