Ok we've all done it, we've all broke up with someone before, some more than others, so what were your reasons?

One girl I broke up with her because she was about 3-4 years my senior, didn't go to college, stayed at home, had no motivation to move out of mom's house or to get a job, so that was just a dead end there.

Had one or two girl cheat on me.

The feelings I once had for them wasn't there anymore.

So what were your reasons?

She broke up with me because I didn't want to go to the Rocky Horror Picture Show...

Such are the rumors, in fact. :fluffle:

So far, I only broke up with one person... someone I shouldn't even have started anything with, but I was on the rebound of a terrible breakup, he was available...
Reasons were his lacking sense of humour, a general lack of things we could talk about (and agree on), and his religion.

You do understand that now you have to tell us his religion, don't you?

Roman Catholic. I guess the final straw for my patience was when he decided to give me a lecture on what an evil person Alistair Crowley had been after finding a pack of tarot cards in my bedroom :D

Okeydoke then!
*backs away from anything that Cabra's ex might have touched*
Nah, he's not that crazy. But still-- they're just tarot cards. If he were opposed to them on the basis that they're dumb, then I'd probably get along with him pretty well.

Broke up with my last 2 girlfriends cos of personality stuff on their part I couldn't deal with.
Broke up with my last boyfriend cos the relationship had been his idea and I TOLD him it wasn't a good idea.
Broke up with the boyfriend before that cos, well, that was pretty mutual actually, and we're still friends.
This is why I prefer fuck buddies and friends with benefits. No nasty break ups.

The only major breakup I've had in the last few years was caused by my ex's immature opinion on how sex should be regarded. He still lists one of his life's ambitions to "marry money."

*lol
No, that wasn't the only reason... he would go on like this for hours, about the silliest things. The tarot cards were just an example, as they were the subject of his last lecture ever to me ;)
Other favourite subjects of his were : a picture of Mary that (allegedly) cried real tears, assorted miracles and apparitions worldwide, conspiracies and alternative history.

Ooh, yay!

My ex believed in astrology, thought the moon landing was a hoax...

I've never broken up with someone. I've never had a girlfriend. *cries*

That's not that bad. Cheer up :)

Had one or two girl cheat on me.

The feelings I once had for them wasn't there anymore.

So what were your reasons?
So I went out with this girl for three years, right? I was a bloody fool. It was internet dating, by the way. I found out, finally, after that third year, that she had been toying with my heart the whole time, just using me so she could have sex with me on that one time we met in person. Worst mistake of my life. I swear to fuck she's the one person I'd ever consider actually killing. That's how much she hurt me with what she had done.

I also never broke up with anyone, and never had a girl friend.
And I'm 39.
But then, I'm an Asperger, so it's acceptable. :p

And FYI, no, I'm not sad about it, I'm not trying to find sympathy or whatever, I'm just stating a fact. Some people find that hard to imagine...

The two girls I've broken up with, the reasons were:

Girl One: She became quite moody & quick to change her temperament. We'd be talking happily, then she'd get angry & snap at me, then 2 minutes later she would be like nothing had happened. I got sick of it. After I broke up with her, she became violent. Punching & kicking me, and even smashing my glasses (I'm extremely short sighted).

Girl Two: Was basically because we'd both grown up a lot during our time together & were quite different people than when we first got together. The relationship lasted almost 5 years, but a year of that was spent apart, due to me living overseas. In the end we were fighting heaps, mostly about the same things over & over. I realised that, although I still cared about her a great deal, I really didn't like her anymore, so I moved out. Probably though, I if was the same person then that I am now, I would have tried harder to make the relationship work.

i moved 1000km away to get away from some druggy cesspit.

She didnt take it well because i didnt have the heart to tell her until about 2 days before i was leaving, She called me a Emotionless bastard and many other weird and wonderful things.

Emotionless bastard!

....just kiddin'!

That's not that bad. Cheer up :)
Yes it is!

Yes it is!
There's hope. I was, at one time, the shyest, nerdiest kid around. I was only missing the glasses and I'd be like Erkel or somebody...

At any rate, just make friends with various girls, and sooner or later you're bound to find someone that you like and who likes you.

I broke up with my last girlfriend because she made a habit of not showing up on our dates.....yeah....
Sorry to break it to you, but that's not a g/f.
Them not ever turning up on dates means they're either:
1. Imaginery (lord knows I've had plenty of those!)
2. Someone you're stalking, not dating.

not a g/f.

Well lets see.

one girl became a drugy and OD'd once. She wasn't going to correct herself so rather then go down with her.....

One girl simply because her parents hated me and took it out on her. Other then me; they treated her well. So to honor her? Well she ended up marrying somebody she is happy with and I belive has a kid or two.

One girl because my parents got into my head with crap talk about moving too fast and not playing the field.

One girl just because she was far too needy. She took it personally if you wanted time alone.

On the other side:

Two girls wouldn't go out with me because of racism. Japanese and African-American. Could deal with the white demon doing things to their daughters. Damn shame because both where enchanting girls.

Dumped once because I came on too strong while in college.

One girl because I wasn't up to her calibur. She later called me out of the blue. I mentioned my GF(now wife) and she drive a distance to check her out. Never heard from her again.

I can't say I was stalking her, and she was quite real, I assure you! She just made it a habit eventually, of not showing up whenever we had arranged dates, so finally I "Pulled the plug".


Hell, she's the one who was asking me! So thats the hell of it mate!

I've had two extremely messy and nasty break-ups from long-term relationships, which are too long to get into here.

The last two break-ups, though, have been kinda weird. These were 'just dating', and one of them barely qualifies as that. But worth mentioning.
First one was Xmas time last year. Met a lovely woman through a mutual friend. Got on really well with her. Extremely well, in fact.
Was having an awesome time with her. Then, come end of January (so we'd known each other 6 weeks), I mentioned I wanted to go somewhere for Chinese New Year (which was in 2 weeks). She immediately suggested we could go somewhere together. In the end, after more than a week of discussions and me making absolutely certain that she was comfortable spending a week with me, we decided on Vietnam (it's less than a 2 hour flight from here).
I went in and booked the flights. I even called her while I was in the Travel Agent, just to give her one last chance to pull out, but she was as enthusaistic as ever. I handed over the cash, which included a $250US non-refundable deposit.
We made arrangements to meet the next day to get our Vietnam visas. She turned up late and then told me she had redecided!
Reason?
Because I'm so nice, so good and so thoughtful, she can't believe that I could be single. Therefore I must be lying to her.
I can't even begin to work the logic out there. First time anyone broke up with me because I was 'so nice I can't be trusted'.
And that was the last time I ever saw or spoke to her.

The bloody cow didn't even offer to pay for the deposit.


The other odd one was much more recent. Again, I met a lovely woman through a mutaul friend (same one as above coincidently), at a birthday party. We exchanged numbers etc etc and the following week met up for a drink. All goes well with that and we stay in contact.
A few days later I get a txt as I'm leaving the gym, "Hi sweetie. I'm at Joe Bananas, come meet me for a drink" [Joe's a bar, btw].
Obviously I'm there like a shot. Almost as soon as I get there, she ditches her friends and drags me off to a restaurant, just the two of us (just had time to say hello to her mates and have one of them whisper to me just how much said lovely woman fancies me and has been talking about all week - which was a definite plus).
Dinner goes well (or so I thought). Unfortunately, we both needed to get up early the next day so we say our goodbyes at 11. A very nice hug and kiss goodbye and promises exchanged for further meets.
Last time I saw her.
Over the next week I tried calling a couple of times, and sent a few txts, but no reply to any of them. Eventually sunk into my thick skull that she obviously didn't want to talk to me, so I sadly wrote yet another one off.
Then 2 weeks later after no contact, I get a txt at 1pm from her saying she's got a great friend she wants me to meet. I txt back asking why her friend is so great and why she thinks I should meet them. Also that I'd be happy to meet the two of them, mainly to see her again.
7.15pm and I txt her back saying that because she hadn't contacted me I'm going to the gym.
When I leave 90 minutes later, I see a txt received at 7.45pm telling me to come up to a bar to meet them.
I try calling and txting to see if they're still there, but no reply.

And that has been the last I ever heard from her.

Such bloody odd behaviour.

I can't for the life of me think what dreadful faux pas I made over dinner for her to not return any of my calls/txts - even a "fuck off, I'm not interested in you!" would have been more polite than just ignoring me, imo.
But then, just to confuse me, if I had disgusted her somehow, why try to set me up with her mate? What sort of friend is that? "Hey, I just met a guy. Can't stand him, absolute asshole of a man. I'll set you two up tonight, ok?"


People can have such weird behaviour.

Mate, she was probably seeing someone else.

heres one a mate told me he over heard in a bar

god called me and told me to tell you its over

Becuase she couldnt decide wether she wanted to be my girlfriend, or my mother, and since I already have a mother, and have no desire whatsoever to have sex with her, it got more than a little uncomfortable.

Men are assholes?

No, really. I've broken up with a few guys purely because I didn't feel the same way about them as they did about me. That is, they loved and lusted for me, and I thought they were nice, but not exactly... well, you know. One boyfriend treated me badly and was stoned all the time, and as much as I loved him, we both agreed that it was time to just let it go. Umm... I tend to break up with people when it gets boring.

Well, let me see here. The only actual girlfriend I broke up with (as opposed to the full on nuclear screw up) was my psycho ex-girlfriend.

Said psycho ex-girlfriend and I were together for two years, then she broke up with me due to deciding that she wanted someone closer to her (we lived in separate states, about 5 hours away). However she kept in contact with me so I learned she found a new boyfriend.

Then I heard that she should she was pregnant. It should be noted that she thought she was pregnant because she was one day late for her period. Her boyfriend and her had NOT had sex, and were both fully clothed in jeans, but were "Hugging really tight" and she "felt" him. (No, I am NOT making this up; when she visited me she insisted on having a separate roll of toilet paper less I accidentally get her pregnant if she used the roll after me). After calming her down, we talked for a few weeks and she admitted that she liked me still and a few weeks later invited me back down to Berkley to see her. She promised that I could crash on her couch for the night since I couldn't afford a hotel so, like the idiot I am, I drove 5 hours to Berkley. Took her to SF, bought her dinner, bought her some clothing, went back to her apartment to watch a movie and half way through (at about 3 am) she casually mentions that she's decided that having a guy in her apartment is too much and that I needed to go back home.

So at three am in the morning, I drove back home without any sleep. I broke it off this time. Funny, but she tried to get into contact with me again about a year after I started dating the woman I would marry and was very indignant and jealous that I was going out with someone else.

But she always has a place in my heart as my very own psycho ex-girlfriend.

Yes it is!

hey, i never had a gf till i was 20. and before her i'd given up hope that i ever would... but she's magical in so many ways and has helped me turn my life around :) (and i'm fucking well not dumping her :p)


so WRT the OP, i've never broken up with anyone

I've been dumped for some variation of 'being an asshole' a few times.

heh reminds me of my friend's 'psycho-bitch' GF (yes we called her that at the time :p). she and my mate went out for probably about 4 years in all, and eventually she just decides that she hasn't 'experienced enough guys' and breaks up with him one week, and by the next she has a new BF from the lower year in college. she also sleeps with at least 2 guys at the same party me and my friend were at, and other pretty nasty things... but all the while she'd been using her bf as some kind of emotional wet-rag. she'd call him up at 4 in the morning just to have a little cry about something... but he put up with it for all those years. the particularly shitty thing was that AFTER they'd broken up, even for the whole of the next year, she'd keep doing that. keep calling him up and expect him to drop whatever he was doing (which he continued to do for a while) and be far more than a friend, but not actully her boyfriend any more. to be fair, he was clingy as fuck, and would also do things like call her in the middle of the morning just to check she was ok, but still... probably two people who shouldn't really have been going out :P
he eventually got it that she was a bitch (and a bit of a tramp - iirc she kept sleeping around loads while going out with her new bf), and wound up totally ignoring her till she got the message. but the 'break-up' took over a year to really sink in, and finish... and i was this guy's best friend for a lot of that and very much privvy to what was going on :-S



btw, reading this thread is a mixture of strangely facinating and bloody hilarious :p

She broke up with me because I didn't want to go to the Rocky Horror Picture Show...
I hate the RHPS, with a vengeance!

As for the OP:

I usually dumped them because they were cheating bitches, or because the long-distance relationship didn't work out.

I got dumped for whatever reasons (they never said which), but usually soon thereafter they were seen with others... :mad:

everyone I ever broke up with was for the same general reason......I didn't want to marry them. If something came up in a relationship that was a "deal breaker" for marriage I would break up with them, not that I really wanted to get married right then, but why stay in a relationship that wasn't going anywhere.

my list of deal breakers

abusive
stupid
lazy
rude to children
apathetic concerning the future
bad with money
unable to express feelings other than rage
unable to communicate
unwilling to have an open mind in the bedroom (now I never did have sex with this person but we were talking about it once and he said "I would never try that it disgusts me" and well, if that disgusted him, we weren't going to have much fun)

I did have a lot of really bad first dates too, because a lot of people just didn't make the cut for me to spend any time with them again.

I've never broken up with someone. When I realise a relationship's going south, I act like an ass until she breaks up with me. Easier that way. Acting like an ass is much simpler than coming up with a break-up speech.

Yeah, I'm just that lazy. :p

The only person I broke up with was a bastard who used me, to put it bluntly. At least I've learnt not too put up with too much shit since then. :rolleyes: :p

when she visited me she insisted on having a separate roll of toilet paper less I accidentally get her pregnant if she used the roll after me).
Did she even know how a woman gets pregnant?
Baby don't come out your arse, dearie. (Unless we're talking giving birth to a lawyer or politician)

Speaking of NERVUN's psycho girlfriend....

I talked to my husband's the other day. Now, my husband had told me all about her and her crazyness, but I had always wondered what led up to her chasing him down the street throwing dishes at him.

Anyway, I saw her at the grocery store and she told me all the reasons she broke up with my husband.....

he watches Star Trek like it's interesting
he plays RPG's too much
he reads comic books
he gets angry when you talk down to him
he won't go camping
he refused to loan her money
he doesn't have a credit card
he wouldn't marry her

yep, I don't really have a problem with any of that.

Apparently the fight that ended with the dish throwing was about her wanting him to take out a loan to pay for her school and he refused saying that she was irresponsible and flighty.... which is absolutely something he would say.

Oh, well, at least he found someone who will watch Star Trek with him, that's all anyone can really hope for isn't it?

Did she even know how a woman gets pregnant?
Baby don't come out your arse, dearie. (Unless we're talking giving birth to a lawyer or politician)
Nope... And her dream was to be a doctor. It's also a very weird experiance as a guy to know more about the female reproductive system than your girlfriend, especially when said girlfriend attends UC-Berkeley.

Oh, well, at least he found someone who will watch Star Trek with him, that's all anyone can really hope for isn't it?
Actually, that sounds like many of the compaints I used to get from Psycho Ex-Girlfriend. But, alas, sadly I STILL don't have someone to watch Star Trek with. :(

But I am introducing my wife to the joys of Monty Python and the Marx Brothers, so there's still hope for her. :p

The only person I broke up with was after we had lived ourselves apart from eachother and I had fallen in love with someone else. Apart from that, I've always been the one that got dumped.

Women are all about backstory.

Oh, and she shouldn't watch III until she see's the original trilogy or the OT will be boring.

Blasphemy! The original trilogy can NEVER be boring!

:p

Several, and the majority are either immature, and, more recently, evidence of male stupidity.....:(

Mate, she was probably seeing someone else.
THe first one? Nope. If she was, she was thoroughly ignoring the poor guy. We were going out 3-4 times a week - a couple times they were all-nighters (not sex, just clubbing).
Even if she was, doesn't explain the whole "Let's go on holiday! yay! yay! yay! yay!...oh...wait...I don't want to now. see ya"
My only explanation is that she secretly worked for that bloody travel agent and got a commission for every non-refund deposit she tricked men out of.



Just remembered another sorta break-up that happened this year:
When I was in Tibet during Easter, I met on the my third to last day there a charming young Chinese woman and had what one might euphemistically term 'a holiday romance'.
We exchanged details and me being the gentleman that I am, did endeavour to keep in contact. Also, I looked up where she lives (Guilin, googleimage it) and it looks a freaking awesome place to visit.
From my pov, it was a 'holiday-fling-but-lets-keep-in-contact-and-stay-friends-and-maybe-meet-up-sometime'
So where did it go wrong?
She started freaking me out with her comments.

Before I say what they are, let me explain a little first about Chinese culture:
The Mainland Chinese are brought up very repressed sexually. It is still very much a matter of 'no sex before marriage'. As the average age for marrying is in the late twenties, the average age for losing one's virginity is ~23 (and it's dropped in recent years, much to the shock and concern of the PRC). So even when you meet someone who's in their mid-to-late 20's (as I did in this case), and who is intelligent, open and all the rest; It's very likely that they're very inexperienced sexually. And by that I don't just mean physical sex, also emotional sex. As in how they view and deal with sex.
This girl was 28, had lost her virginity at 24 and had had a grand total of 2 b/fs. Her mother still thought she was a virgin because she wasn't married!

Why was this a problem? (good in some ways - she thought I was great in bed: The joys of meeting someone who has got nothing good to compare you with :-) ). It was a problem because she took it to be more than a fling. Much more.

I also made, in hindsight, a major cock-up in contributing to her delusion.
It was her birthday in early June, so I figured I'd surprise her with a small gift, just to keep on good terms. I bought what I figured was pretty neutral - just some toiletries and body lotions from L'occitane (a high-class version of Bodyshop). For me, it wasn't expensive (less than $100US), and no I wasn't trying to show off how much I earn. Just living in HK, it's easy to lose one's sense of proportion regards to money.
But in China, the average monthly salary is around $100US. This girl was getting $250US a month. So she got from me the gift equivalent of the average month's salary. How would you feel if someone you'd just met spent that much (4 weeks pay) on a present for you? You would definitely feel they were very keen on you.

So during the course of our conversations, my possible trip to visit her during the Summer break came up. My thinking was 1 week max, of which a couple of days would be travelling around the place w/o her.
Her thinking was a whole damn month living in her tiny flat with her. Then she asked me if it was ok to introduce me to her friends as her boyfriend - just so she wouldn't lose face, of course (Some do view women who sleep with foreigners as total sluts there - indeed, they're actually told by the govt that all Western men had HIV or AIDs so you shouldn't sleep with them!). Which I hesitantly agreed to.
It was when she started asking me about my views on marriage and telling me how much she enjoyed cooking and other domestic duties so she could please her future husband (and I think she may have also said something about children), that I really got creeped out. Two nights together and she's talking about fucking marriage!?!!
NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo.....


Suffice to say, I didn't go visit her. I was paranoid I'd wake up in the middle of the night to find her poking holes in the condoms.
I do feel bad about ditching her like that, because she was a cool person and no doubt pretty hurt by it. But just too, too clingy.

Blasphemy! The original trilogy can NEVER be boring!

:p
all of the great suprises in the OT are revealed in III, it's cool for us to look back because we know, it's not cool for people who have never seen the OT because they don't get the "I am your father" and "whoa, I am in love with my sister" surprises.

Oh, well, at least he found someone who will watch Star Trek with him, that's all anyone can really hope for isn't it?
i too have found someone who enjoys watching the greatest show on earth. she's so cool :D :cool:

if you want a normal chick to watch star trek you have to start out with Voyager, it's like a chick version of star trek ;)

hey, if Voyager is a chick-version of star trek, then paint my nails pink and call me Betty ;) (i loves me voyager)

Use Ep II first. Ease 'em into it.

*gag* Now, I'm a chick, and that almost made me throw up. That was some of the cheesiest cheese I've ever seen...

hey, if Voyager is a chick-version of star trek, then paint my nails pink and call me Betty ;) (i loves me voyager)
I also love Voyager, I think it's the best series to start someone on who is anti-Trek, because while it is Trek, it's also drama and romance, and scandal.

But it's definitely chick-flick fodder.

Voyager was utter shite. Best go with DS9. At least then you know if there's a brain in your partner's head.

uh......DS9 sucks, everyone knows it, it sucked so bad that most people don't even count it.

DS9 is what happened after Roddenberry died and everyone just kinda zoned out about what the hell they were supposed to be doing.

If you have ever been to Con you know that DS9 is the joke that we laugh about, and the "show" that we pity the fans of. It's not real trek, it's a soap opera......they don't even go anywhere, what's up with that?!

I found Voyager had the best plots and series out of the various Treks, but the best individual episodes were definantly in DS9
Unfortunatly Babylon 5 blows both of them out of the proverbial water :p

Back to the topic I've not broken up with anyone yet, just been them breaking up with me (long distance etc) :(

Sorry, don't go to Con. Not that much of a Star Trek geek. :p

DS9 was by far the best of the post-OS shows. It had better characters, a better plot line (and yes, it had a plot line, which I guess makes it soapy to some, since it wasn't isolated episodes :rolleyes: ), and much better writing and acting than either TNG or Voyager.

Bab 5 had its moments. It just needed more consistency.

and that's why is so good :D

*agrees...ish*
DS9 is good entertainment, and almost star trek. its just no way near as good as the others though (like... a 3 if TNG and VOY are 10's)

voyager had a better and more aluring overarching plotline. certainly not simply isolated episodes...

plus, the characters in VOY > the ones in DS9 (more fleshed out, real, etc)

I dumped one guy because he cheated on me. That really didn't end well. I broke up with another boyfriend because he was in love with me, and while I loved him, I wasn't in love with him. We stayed friends - we were in high school, and he got over it pretty quickly. :) I don't really have any interesting stories about this stuff.

My ex and I split up basically because the emotional pressure on both of us got a bit too much.

We were both going through fairly tough times - her father has emphysemia and she needs to care for him quite a lot now, which took time away from her social and educational life.

My parents are pretty much on the verge of breaking up, and that's quite trying on the nerves, all in all.

So we both decided that possibly the best thing for both of us would be to end our relationships, stay friends, and try to cope as best as possible with our own lives instead of worrying about the other's perception of each other.

Which is really fair enough, I'm sure you'll all agree.

Because I wanted to go out with someone hotter. I was young and stupid I know.
