Breaking Up is Embarrassing To Do?

Ok, so I was thinking about what I wrote the other day about my drunken letter writing and it occurred to me that most of us must have an embarrassing breaking up story. So tell us about a time when you did something really stupid or embarrassing when you broke up with someone(or got broken up with). Whether it was something deliberate or not.

I'm hoping I'm not the only one with a story???

This goes back years and years to first guy who ever really broke my heart. I was a 19-yr-old kid, so cut me some slack. I was dating my high school sweetheart and he broke up with me halfway through his first year at West Point. He had given me a bottle of his cologne one time so I could have his scent whenever I wanted it. I gathered up every letter and note that he had ever written to me over the years and put them into a box. I put a couple of shirts that he had given me as well. Then, I took that bottle of cologne and poured the whole content over the items in the box. I mailed the whole thing to him at his West Point address.

He got a cologne soaked package. That thing must have smelled BAD!!! It probably made all of the other mail smell too.

Hi Tara,

Okay - I will put my thinking cap on and come up with some breakup stories. But first we want to know what your drunken letter said and the story?? If you want to share of course - I don't want to sound too nosey - but that story did get a laugh here. You were very funny!! :-)

Oh jeez,

This is like 5 years ago... so the details aren't so good on the actual letter. Hey, the fact that I was drinking while I wrote it has nothing to do with that okay? But there was this guy who I fell really hard for and I pretty much was his FWB. I think that might even be stretching it, though at the time, he would go back and forth, one day he loved me the next he didn't want to talk to me anymore...really did a number on me. So I started writing him a letter in my journal one night after we pretty much ended it for good. And unfortunately, I had the bad idea of having a couple of glasses of wine while I was writing this letter. I do know I pretty much told him I loved him and how I would always care about him but didn't want anything to do with him any longer. It was a very lonnnng letter. So I guess I decided he should read this letter. Maybe I thought he'd all of a sudden realize what a great person I was and fall madly in love with me???? ha. Who knows. So I re-wrote it on regular stationary and stuck it in the mailbox.

I do know he got it because he called me to THANK me for it. How embarrassing!!!

so that's the story in a nutshell.

I waited a long time for my "first"....not my first boyfriend, but the first one I had sex with.

I'm not sure I really want to tell! It involved a scene at a restaurant in which I threw two glasses of water at a woman, and her parents and my parents nearly ended up in a fist fight in the middle of the restaurant! LOL

Actually, I can't really say that was my most embarrassing...wild maybe? yes. But I'm not embarassed about it.
