| What is the strangest way you were told it was over
Posted: 10/3/2009 2:52:12 PM | I know many talk about being told via text msg and how impersonal or cowardly that is. But I'm curious about other ways you've been dumped- and what the strangest excuse was.
I'll start. I have to admit that when I was 16 I had a date with a guy I had only spoken with on phone. Friends introduced us. I was young and immature. He wore dark sunglasses to the movie. We were with others. I went to the bathroom and never came back. Never did that since- pretty immature. But what did I know? Was my first date ever. | |

Sorry SB that would have been rough unless you didnt realize how unhappy they were and then that speaks for itself. | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 3:51:41 PM | | The guy I was living with invited my estranged husband [who was living with another woman] over for dinner, which I got to cook, then told my nearly ex that he was tired of the whole domestic thing and was leaving. So... I guess I didn't actually GET told, I just got to listen in on a conversation between the men. | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 4:12:49 PM | I was never told.
But it was not hard to figure it out.
"I ate too much"
"I drunk too much"
"I have a headache"
"I'm too tired"
"It's too late, got to get some sleep"
I heard all of the above for six months, I knew the disease is incurable.
And you thought that women do that, eh?  | |

Been there experienced that
This has got to be one of the cruellest ways of ending a marriage, especially when children are involved.
And it's so common! My ex-h's second missus did it to him; I had a boss who came home to an empty house and even my step-mother did it to her first husband.
The worst is when the men don't even know where their children are. My step-mother took the kids to Australia from New Zealand.
I wonder if men do this to women? The men I know/knew who had experienced this - it was a wound that healed over superficially, but the hurt never left them. | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 5:04:52 PM | About 5 years ago I had been seeing this guy for about 3 months. We had decided to go away for a long weekend - it was an absolute bust - he couldn't get last minute tickets to a hockey game (I told him to buy them in advance - but what the heck did I know), he lost real bad at the Casino (first time I realized what a serious gambler he was), then to top it all off - his car broke down and it cost him several hundred dollars to repair. It was a very quiet 7 hour ride home (yep you heard right - 7 hours). We got home - we said goodnight. Next day I came home from work to have a voicemail telling me we were done - not to call, not to write, nothing - no reason, nothing....
Strange ... very strange - talk about needing to grow up ..... | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 5:05:32 PM | | The strangest way I was dumped was when my 2nd husband knocked up some bimbo with whom he'd been screwing around. He could no longer deny the fact that he was a cheating SOB, nor could I pretend to believe him. I did get to keep the 'guilt diamonds' he'd bought me throughout the marriage though. | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 5:19:11 PM | After two years of serious discussion about our problems, which he denied (*he* was happy, it was *my* problem. . . .) and which he turned down every offer I made, right down to taking a dance class at the YMCA. . . . I got a job and a moving truck and an apartment. And moved out whilst he was at work. No more discussion that it was my problem, and begged for marriage counseling, which he'd turned down for two years.
So I don't know: how cruel is it? And how much does it take to actually get a guy's attention? As soon as I moved back for a reconciliation, he quit marriage counseling against the counselor's protest. And mine. It lasted another six months.

Posted: 10/3/2009 5:21:54 PM | ^^wooby, I'm sure you were desperate, as are other women who choose this way to end a marriage. I can't imagine doing this if you weren't desperate to get away.
But it's still awful - coming home to an empty house and a note..I'm talking about a house literally stripped bare and no idea where your children are.
(I'm not including women who are escaping domestic violence. But they don't usually get the chance to take everything that isn't nailed down. They're usually running for their and their children's lives.) | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 5:32:54 PM | my husband and I were "working on our marriage" ... I'd taken the children and moved to a town nearer my job ... but we saw each other every weekend and sometimes during the week ... we were still very much a couple (I thot) ... he was listening better and actually doing things with me and our children ... we were spending a lot of time together and I was encouraged and really very happy!
he called me one weekend and asked me to come over and pick up some things ... I thot it was odd but got my daughter and we drove over to get whatever it was her father wanted us to get ... my daughter and I arrived and were in the playroom, going thru her books, movies, puzzles and things when I heard a sound coming from our bedroom ...
a blonde woman walked from MY bedroom ... thru MY dining room and MY living room ... she stood there across the room from me and yelled, "get your shit out of our house or I'll throw it away!"
yep ... that was my 1st clue that my marriage was over ...
my daughter and I took turns stopping on the trip back to our new place to barf ...
the next week I filed for divorce ... and 2 weeks later, I lost my job! yep ... that was a pretty low place ...
pretty low ... but it was in 1990 ... so I guess I'm recovered! my ex and the blonde dated for ten years but she finally dumped him ... now we're back to seeing each other again ... very friendly ... family occasions ... dinners ... birthdays ...
but I have no illusions about ever being in a relationship with him again ... | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 6:10:48 PM | | A lot of unnecessary cruelty in these ditches. There's almost always some unnecessary cruelty because it's hard to be graceful under such circumstances. I'm just glad I didn't get into relationships with people who were much capable of turning an already difficult, bad and sorrowful end into one that was far uglier than it had to be. I would never let myself take it that far. And I'm glad I had the insight to choose women who wouldn't either, if and when it ever came to an end. | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 6:32:33 PM | | We had been dating most of the college school year. We were going out to celebrate her early finishing a self study math class I helped her with all semester. When I arrived to pick her up, she had rigged me up with a replacement that towered over me and outweighed me over 100 pounds. She had left with "John". A few weeks later, she called to ask for money to bail out "John". She later told me I was too nice for her although I wasn't nice enough to bail out her bad boy. She was not the last one I lost to a bad boy and not the last one to ask for money to bail out her new bad boy later. Maybe I should have had her replacement beat up her boy. | |

This has got to be one of the cruellest ways of ending a marriage, especially when children are involved.
Luckily it was my second marriage and my 15 y/o son was just as dumbfounded
at the situation as I was. It's a hollow feeling and also a hollow sounding house especially when it's all hardwwod floors. The wound was healed after 6 months of going to a psychologist, and will be totally healed when the divorce becomes final. | |
