Worst Ways to Get Dumped?
| Wed, 08-08-2007 - 3:01pm |
Remember when Carrie on Sex and the City was dumped via post-it? And you've probably heard the story about how Sylvester Stallone broke up with his girlfriend by FedEx. Seems like our modern age is providing us with increasingly, um, "convenient" (and inappropriate) ways to end a relationship... What are the worst ways to break up with somebody these days? Have a jaw-dropping break-up story of your own to share? Let's hear it!

Going back to an X is definitely a rough one! I've had that happen to me twice! Remember Chris from last year? He did that and this guy from England I was seeing some years ago. He went back but pulled a DOOZIE in the process.
And for some reason I forgot the story until you mentioned going back to the X, but get this dump:
I was in Germany and dating this guy for about 6 months. I am sure their is a HUGE thread in the archives over this whole thing, but:
He wanted to move into my house and I said NO. He was really hurt about it all and OVERNIGHT moved back to England. We didn't have contact for about a month and then he contacted me again and wanted to work things out. Our birthdays were two days apart and so I flew to England to celebrate with him. We had a blast. ANYWAY, things are going terrific between us and he decides to fly for Christmas to see me. So I DECIDED to throw a HUGE party for him. We both met in the same group of friends, so all of my friends were his friends. I invited EVERYONE. Champagne was bought, catering was ordered, the WORKS.
He sends me a text message that he is boarding the plane THAT he LOVES ME and can't wait for the second that he lays eyes on me, etc etc blah blah blah blah.........
Everyone starts coming over to the house. We all are excited and he has NO clue that their is this party going to happening for him. Anyway, his plane lands, I hear nothing, another 2 hours goes by nothing. I'm getting worried. People are starting to text him, no answer. Finally, he sends one to his best friend letting him know he has decided to spend the holidays with his X girlfriend, to give him my regards and to tell me he's sorry for the sudden change of heart.
YOU CAN ONLY imagine the HUMILIATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I could go on and one about the whole thing, but! To this day that creep will send me emails out of the blue to ask how I am. KNOWING I won't answer, but my friends in Ireland still let him know the email is active even though I have asked them to keep quiet. It's been a few months now, but I am sure at some point, this year I will hear from him again.
Ok I am embarrassed to reveal this but I was the culprit in this dumping. I was struggling internally to stay with my gf for a while and finally made up my mind to tell her that I wanted to end it. How I did it was in the morning after sleeping together while we were still in bed. Afterwards she told me that was not the best way to do it. She is one of the rare few partners that still is willing to talk with me. A testament to her character more so than mine. I admit I'm clueless (note that I use present tense).
My other story is from a woman that I had the most initmate (emotional, spiritual, physical, sexual) relationship in my entire life. However I was struggling in feeling fully into her and she knew it. She dumped me via email. I was blindsided by that. We worked on being "friends" afterwards but got to the point where she did not want any contact from me whatsoever.

Wow... I want YOU as a girlfriend! What a gift for someone! I have had my gf (who later became my wife who later became my former spouse ...) give me a surprise birthday party. It certainly was not elaborate like yours but I was sooooooo touched to know someone cared for me like that.

I don't disagree. Ironically she is one of the few women in my life who does not mind being in touch with me, the rest tend to be angry and don't want anything to do with me. And it has NOTHING to do with how we parted. In fact most of those angry women dumped me. I saw it as playing out the "angry woman" pattern in my life starting with my Mother. I viewed as a key indicator of my spiritual health are the type of people I attract in my life.
