Posted: 10/5/2009 12:57:14 PM | I broke up with a guy by e-mail. This was after we had planned a trip to France (he was French) and right before the trip he told me that since his divorce was final I was not what he was looking for but he wanted to continue to date me because I was cheap to date and good in bed. Plus once we got to Paris, one night he announced that we were going to go out with this ex-girlfirend who worked for the BBC and spoke five languages. I told him to ask her if she spoke RedNeck because there was no way in hell I was going to dinner with his ex-girlfriend.
Right after we got back I e-mailed him to send me the photos from the trip on a CD since I was so busy at work. Once I got the photos I e-mailed him and broke it off. | |

No therapy, at least up to the point when I last saw her. She's a very pretty, very gentle, very strange person - was married at least five timies by her late 30s, and finally got to the point where she had trouble remembering which was her current last name. Life is not always kind. | |

Posted: 10/6/2009 8:06:15 PM | Kari: I don't even know what to say about that story. How do you even process such a horrible thing to do. I wonder what kind of relationship that child has with her mother now? And whether she has been messed up as an adult. She likely has trust issues- how could you not when the person who is literally your life abandons you like that. With no consideration for you or your helplessness.
That is the most horrible thing I've heard in a long time. Selfish. | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 4:32:36 AM | | I had a boyfriend for a couple of years.....off and on..maybe he was my rebound. But I thought I was in Love.......we had so many problems from the get go. But it was always off and on.......and finally I put it to a end but I wasn't over the in love part. He wrote two months later and told me........He lost his house and moved to town, filed bankruptcy and oh by the way he was getting married......I felt like he wanted me to say stop baby and marry me. But it reassured me that not seeing him anymore was the right thing. Even through he had so much going on for him he was a mess. Apparently so was I at the time. So instead of being angry with him I started working on my issues and quit dating. I am trying again. He didn't hurt me he made me see what problems I had. And that I needed to fix them before trying to get involved with someone new. Today I am whole or as whole as a old person can get. I am happy and healthy. I laugh at myself now........Him? Heard their marriage didn't last long. Sad for her sad for him. Today I can wish him the best of life........and really mean it....... | |

She's about my age, so I doubt if her mother is still alive.They had no relationship that I knew of. Her mother came to visit once when the grandson was about 10, and wanted to see a movie the same night as a teacher's conference or some such thing. When my friend couldn't go to the movie, mommie dearest got on the plane the next morning and left in a snit, and it was her last visit. Yes, she's very messed up in many ways. She is, however, a good and loving mother - she has such a sterling example of what not to do. | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 8:49:37 AM | | Was she able to get married and have a trusting relationship her her spouse? She and her child benefited from mommy dearest not being in the pic. A woman like that has little of value to teach a child. | |

Never. She was married many times - at least 5 or 6 that I knew of, but none of them lasted more than a few years. She had a real problem with choosing appropriate men, for one thing. | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 4:49:40 PM | Actually I got dumped on the forums....and we never even had meant.
Gotta admit my sense of humor kicked in over it and tickled me to death. Every-time I think about it I still laugh about it.......Who is it? I 'll never tell. But wish them the best of luck.............Smiles | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 5:13:28 PM | My brothers friend mark was living with this women and she had what she liked to call the"goal bowl."
What it was is she had this bowl and she would write goals that she wanted to obtain down on peaces of paper and put them in the bowl.
Everyday she would fish out a peace of paper with a goal on it and do that goal.
Well one of the goals she wrote down was "break up with mark"
She pulled that one out one day and broke up with him. | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 7:49:43 PM | I THOT I was in a committed love relationship with a man I'll call Marv ... (we'd been dating almost a year, he referred to MY daughter as "our daughter," etc., etc.) ... about 4:00 a.m. on a Monday morning, I had a dream or a premonition ... or WHATEVER ... and I sat bolt upright in bed ... reached for the phone and called Marv ... in his sleepy confusion, he mumbled around and then admitted he'd asked a woman I'll call Susan to MARRY HIM ... the very night before!!!
I asked why he didn't let me know he was dating/seeing/proposing to Susan and he said, "I was afraid she'd say no and I needed you to fall back on."
wow. I can't express how that felt! mostly, I think I felt stupid. | |

Posted: 10/13/2009 9:03:56 PM | | she made many future plans for us, told me several times that she loved me but then one day told me that it wasn't working for her. she had my things all bagged up and ready to go. we had a chat and as i was leaving her place she got between me and the door, clung to me and started kissing me and told me to call her. i said she should call me: never did, never spoke to me again when we would come in contact in public. | |

Strange, but looking back, I don't know if I was ever told it was over.
Yeah, I can relate. Never been told I don't think. They just disappear. It really leaves you a little dazed and confused.

Posted: 10/14/2009 9:51:01 AM | | I've had a woman just stop answering my calls. A couple of them just started seeing someone else and then had their new boyfriend to step to me and tell me it's over. I think alot of people don't know how to end things and others like to think that you're not significant enough in their lives to deserve a decent break-up. Then they wonder why there are so many psycho/stalkers out there. | |

This happened well over 50 yearss ago, there was nothing then like social services today. I never heard anything at all regarding her father, and her mother never, as far as I know, ever again made contact after that one disastrous visit. I don't think either parent would have suffered in this lifetime, they were just too wrapped up in each other to pay any attention to her. | |

Posted: 10/14/2009 4:29:05 PM | I was never told it was over, but I read between the lines. The smirk on his face after I said something the last time we were together and the deafening silence since. Speaks volumes!
