Are you thinking of breaking up with someone? Maybe someone is breaking your heart and you are going to break up with them before they break yours.

If you are about to break up with someone you probably would have given it much thought, you could have known this person for a few weeks, a few months or even a few years, but nevertheless all are endings of some sort to facilitate a new beginning.

This thread would also be useful for anyone who has recently been painfully dumped as it could help them understand the reasons why their partner broke up with them, so the more details you put here the more you will be able to help others understand 'why?'

I don't plan on breaking up with my fiance ever so yeah. But I did go through a really bad break up in middle school. The guy I was dating was gay and he was using me as a cover up. It was really bad.

Yeah i'm thinking of breaking up with my girlfriend because she getting really boring and plus there this chick that I like and shes been wanting to date me

My wife and I are happily married. We solve problems together, talk out difficulties, and I don't expect I'll ever divorce her.

Well, after a lot of years jumping from bed to bed and relationship to relationship i finally found the woman i love endlessly and plan to marry her next year !

Well... I'm engaged. I don't plan on breaking that off. I am pretty sure that she won't either.

I think that breakups are nature's way of saying... "SORRRY CHUMP"

I never use to worry about break ups, because if they happened, then the relationship wasn't right, but if it happens to me now, this time... it would kill me.

There were a guy in elementary school / middle school who was my best friend since we were little. We decided to go out on my birthday, and we were together for almost two years until his other friend convinced him to dump me because the friend was gay, and he loved my ex, and my ex decided to become gay and join him. It was a pretty bad blow to my mentality. I got over it and we're still best friends.

I've gotten dumped before and it was at the worse time possible too we were at a party and my mom was in the hospital and I was getting ready to leave to go see her and he dumped me and went to start flirting with some (generic insult here) I thought it was the rudest thing a guy could ever do

I havent had to think about breaking up with anyone, because i don't know anyone in my area.
Should i ever move back to civilization, ill repost on this thread with a real answer.

Well I had a relationship online with a guy who I really loved.. and he told me he really loved me to. We had long conversations and talked and hanged on chat all the time He said I will never leave you. But one day he told me he was breaking up with me because of his first love and he left me for another girl. I cried for over 2 weeks like literally because it was my first heartbreak. He really hurt me so bad. I finally got over it though and I don't think about it anymore.. except right now, when I'm typeing this.

Then I dated a guy in real life who I liked a whole lot and he liked me a whole lot but I had to end it for personal reasons. I really wish I wouldn't of had to because it really hurt him but I told him I was sorry and I told him why I had to break up with him . Hopeing he would be understanding. It broke my heart to. But it was just best in the end.

About a month ago I had a very awful girlfriend in an awful relationship... she lived too far and every time she called me she swore, yelled, and was very rude, then told me she loved me so much to the point where it got creepy, it seemed she was stalking me... After 2 months I was finally able to realize she shouldn't be with me... so I told her "We live to far from each other and I don't think this is working out for us, we have nothing in common" ... she seemed okay with it, although i told her this on Facebook so I wouldn't know if she cried... She still calls me to this day every now and then and I hang up...

Shout out to all people in abusive relationships: BREAK UP WITH THEM DON'T HOPE THEY WILL CHANGE OR THAT YOU CAN CHANGE THEM

I have only ever been in two real relationships and only one of which did the guy actually date me. My first one came along and completely took me by surprise. I hadn't felt that strong of an emotion for someone before. He said he loved me, but I think love meant two different things to the two of us. For him love meant he liked me, when I truly loved him. I think somewhere in my heart I knew what was going on the entire time, but I refused to believe it. I made a dead relationship go on for far to long. Of course he could have stopped it at any time, and in retrospect it would have made my life easier. It hurts less to just rip the bandaid off than to slowly pull it off.

I have only ended a relationship once, because the guy was insanely possessive and psychologically abusive. He played mind games with me to hurt me, on purpose, for two years because I made him go on a roller coaster soon after we started dating. When it came time for my prom, he refused to go with me thinking that I wouldn't go (I took an underclassmen friend instead). He told me that he didn't want me to hang out with my friends. He said that if I hugged my male friends in greeting that it was no different than if I had had sex with them. I gave him two extra chances, and I shouldn't have. The final straw came the day after Christmas 2003 when the Wizards of the Coasts stores were going out of business and having a 50% off sale, so I went with one of my friends (who was male, as are the majority of my friends). I informed my boyfriend of where I was going and why (half price D&D books!!) and that I would be gone for most of the day because it was a bit of a drive to the nearest store. I had a pager back then because my parents were cheap and I wasn't working yet, so while we were on the way back I got a voicemail. I borrowed my friend's phone to check it, and it was my boyfriend berating me for not being home when he wanted to hang out with me, and how dare I hang out with my friend, and a bunch of horrible things I will not write here.... That was the breaking point, I played the message for my friend to hear and he was just as pissed as I was. Later that night, the boyfriend came by like nothing was wrong... didn't even call to say he was coming over. So, awkwardly, I had him sit down and I told him I wanted to break up because I had hit my limit. He got sulky and hurt and tried to guilt trip me, but I held firm even though I felt bad. He left, my mom yelled at me for dumping him even though she had NO idea of what had been going on. He stalked me for a year afterwards amongst other things, but after years we have finally reached a point where we can be friends again. He realized that he had gone off the deep end and apologized, and we talk online now.

I have other breakup stories where I was the dumped one, but I have talked about those elsewhere... all I will say is that if you here the phrase "we need to talk" then beware.

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end"

That popped into my head as soon as I read the title of this thread.

I've never been in a real relationship, so I don't really know about breakups.

I have seen relationships end and some that reached the brink, but recovered. The general theme is usually that one person was ignoring or lying to the other. It's depressing to watch relationships fall apart especially when there's not much I can do to stop it.
