| What caused your last serious relationship to end?
Posted: 8/7/2007 12:38:06 PM | Hello everyone. This can be an interesting question to ponder so I thought I would pose it. Let's make it two questions. 1) When did your last serious relationship end? 2) What caused your last serious relationship to end?
For me my last serious one ended in May of 2004. We dated for several months when she moved out of the City to the Dallas Ft/ Worth area. Now, we were experiencing conflicts occasionally about core beliefs and such, but otherwise we got along well. Since she moved we never really had the "breaking up"part. Had she stayed I suspect it may not have lasted much longer because it seemed both of us had soured on each other. Heated arguments had "cooked" us so to speak. Again she moved so it's hard to say what would have happened. Maybe she moved to get away from me! 
Actually we corresponded by email for a while until she eventually found someone there and got engaged. Last I heard from her she was not sure about marriage and it had been postponed. That was almost two years ago now.
So, what is your last serious relationship ending about and when did it occur? | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 5:43:49 PM | | come to think of it.....drinking caused the end of my first marriage and the breakup with the second. I do want to add that the second quit when he found out how it hurt me and we had several good years together before he died. | |

,,,"marriage".

My last serious relationship ended by lack of communication to sum it up simply. No need for details.  | |

Posted: 8/7/2007 6:48:13 PM | In July of 2002 I went to my ?manfriends? apartment. The place was empty, except for trash on the floor... and the door knob had been cut away for someone to gain access. He had a bad heart, had a heart attack in the past, we had no common friends.. we spent all our time together alone, just the two of us..
He disapeared..... | |

Posted: 8/8/2007 10:33:49 PM | hmmm, well mine was over after a 20 year relationship when he came home to tell me that he was in love with my cousin. The cousin who had lived with us for 10 years and was more of a daughter to us (silly me, I thought) than just a cousin. Now, he did not want US to break up. He still loved me, you see. He just wanted her, also. Imagine his surprize when I said, ahhhh, Not just NO but H*LL NO. Found out that she had been playing games with him for years while I was working two jobs to support our happy little family.
But, on the flip side, I am sooooo much happy now without the emotional drama that he had put into my life. | |

But all in all I would say that the reason was that she was too young, and also she had her mom and best friend pumping her head causing a lot of problems leading up to that incident. | |

I lost my housing, his was OK. We were not comfortable with a Live-in situation, due to
community standings and family perceptions. He was a great person and an exemplary man. Disasters test you, in every way. You have to make decisions very quickly and do not have time to completely examine every aspect. There are things you take with you and others you leave behind. Great women have Pearls and Perils;
Pearls compliment you. Perils compound you. | |

Maggie, No he wasnt dead, it turned out he had been fired from his job 4 months before he left, had begun drinking again ( recovering alcoholic) and he packed his crap, ran out on his bills and responsibilites and went to his father's in florida. He forgot I worked for the post office too. I knew how to talk to a post master, and how to get his forwarding address. Which I did after I found out he had been let go, and though not exactly why, but under what circumstances, and I wrote him a letter. Just before he would of gotten my letter I got a post card from him.. no return address, saying he was in florida. Needless to say, after he got my letter exposing him in all his lies, I never heard from him again. *Thank God* | |

Over-the-phone "I love you"s shouldn't be taken that seriously. It CAN really mean "I love you", but it can also serve as a lie, a Judas kiss, or just words to fill dead air. | |

Posted: 8/10/2007 7:20:21 PM | Well, my ex-wife moved in with her boyfriend. 'nuff said.
My last GF talked bad about my kids. Really bad about my kids. Then we got into an arguement over it and she got violent and hit me. That's when I marched her rear out the door! No, I have never hit a woman. My daddy told me not to. She was about as close as I have ever come to wanting to hit a woman, though. | |

Posted: 8/12/2007 7:57:32 AM | | We split up because our parenting skills were very different from each others. I am not stern on my daughter but she knows when mommy is serious and means business. He would drive his daughter around every night to get her to fall asleep and she was 6. I just can't spoil a kid that much. I can understand driving them around if they are sick and I mean really sick but not every night just so they don't cry. | |

Posted: 8/12/2007 12:52:05 PM | Last Serious relationship? The one in Jan 99? Married 13 years, she had 4 lovers known of, probably more, refused to get marriage counceling cause it wasn't her fault that she and I couldn't get along together. Meanwhile I went to private counceling to try to improve myself.
She had anger management issues which she refused to address. I was uncaring, lacked ability to communicate with her without making her upset. Though kind of hard to care for someone you know is cheating on you. LOL
A friend asked me if I knew she asked Jr. to go to bed with her. Then there was the yelling, it was so bad my kids admitted to me they hid in their bedrooms to avoid listening to it.
So my last relationship ended for the safety and security of myself and my kids. ::grins:: I figured if I wasn't in the same house my son wouldn't have to go hide in his bedroom constantly. And of course a month after I left my Ex she moved in with another man and married him a month after the divorce was final. I think she already had him on a string somewhere. ::shrugs:: I must admit he seems to be a good guy, I often feel sorry for him.
In 2006 I dated a woman for a month, broke up due to lack of chemistry, we are both good friends.
In 2007 broke up with one that I knew for 5 months, again lack of chemistry and again we are both really good friends.
So I think I've improved in life. | |

Posted: 8/14/2007 7:23:20 AM | hhmmm.......last relationship huh?
Well she tried to change me into who she wanted me to be, and when she saw that it wasn't happening....she ended it. Not to mention that she wasn't tolerant of other people's cultures, religion or how they were brought up.

Posted: 8/14/2007 4:29:11 PM | Oh my dear EX husband had the typical mid life crisis affair....
I followed that man around like a puppy for 22 years, but this time I saw him headed up his own a$$hole and I refused to follow him any further. Thin it rained a s#it storm till hell wouldn't have it. They don't make strong enough umbrellas for that kind of stupidity or good enough attorneys.
Poor feller wanted to retire and take his money with him....needless to say he's gonna be workin' alot longer than he thought. | |

Posted: 8/14/2007 6:10:08 PM | 1) Last really serious relationship ended in Oct 2000.
2) After 10 years of being "married" one Saturday night he dropped me and the boys off at the car races (at the local track) gave me a kiss and said I love you, see you later. Well the races got rained out so we called him to come get us. He never showed up. The track owner's wife finally gave us a ride home since she couldn't lock up as long as we were there. Got to the house and he, all of his things, the compter, tv, dog etc were gone. No note no nothing. Two days later I finally found out that he had gone to be with his high school sweetheart (mother of his son) who had tracked him down via the internet. | |
