Posted: 6/1/2008 4:31:25 PM | I used to go out with someone who started behaving real needy after a while. I mean WAY over the top. I took it for as long as I could and just had to break it off. She was a very emotional woman, so I braced myself for a freak out. When I told her, she was like "Well... I knew it wasn't meant to be.". That's it. No freak out, no tears, not even a tiny angry word. lol. Cool. Let's be friends blah blah blah, and that was it.
I mean find out what gets on his nerves and doit-doit-doit-doit, until he dumps you. Have ou ever passed the breakup buck? | |

The "How much cr*p will he put up with if he really loves me?" test.
Obviously you just didn't love her.
So says Cosmo, Oprah, ...
Be glad of it. | |

Oh yeah... got the T shirt. Some women seem to think they can control you, but they really hate it when you tell them to leave, because you're utterly fed up of them...
Good riddance I say ;) | |

As to your question OP... no, I can't say that I have. The scenario you are outlining sounds like too much trouble...
I'd rather cut the ties and be done with it. | |

No way, I always quit before I get fired! In a lot of cases, even when I wasn't going to be fired.
I have known people who engage in aggravating or unacceptable behaviors in order to get the other to break up with them. I assume that way one can avoid the "guilt" of instigating the split? | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 6:19:42 PM | | I haven't, but I had a guy pass the break up buck to me once. His friends had warned me that he did that too....they said, "when he gets tired of a woman, he treats her badly until she breaks up with him." And that's precisely what he did. | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 6:31:02 PM | I will repeat what I said to my brother the other day in a conversation about females..."I don't get it"
I think that I tend to think more like a male, in an analytical way when it comes to relationships, because doing something like this just seems odd to me.
I have never done this. In the one relationship where I broke it off (my last marriage), I didn't mince words. I calmly told him we were done, after a few years of problems, and his unwillingness to help find a solution.
I left, it was very calm, until a few weeks later, when he blew up at me on the phone, yelling that everything was all my fault. He also informed me that he knew 3 yrs before that we wouldn't last. Sounds similar to your situation, except he did show anger.
Meh...don't stress over it. Be thankful and count your blessings. | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 7:49:49 PM | | what do you mean by needy? how was she needy and very emotional? maybe she's just like that because she thought it's ok with you...but since you think it's not something you want, then she's not going to go gaga over it and beg you to keep her. make sense? | |
