Stolen from MM - Best breakup story

[Muddled]

Lol, Huber! At least my dude wrote his own lyrics. I can't believe your parents wanted to invite him to your wedding!

My college BFF's ex actually tattooed her initials on his ankle to win her back. Think that worked?

I dated a guy off an on for 4 years or so. I was Smitten, he, apparently, was not.

We were back together for a few months, and drunkenly talked of marriage and a kid. He always said he would never marry again, and I didn't think that bothered me, but the drunk talk was nice. He started getting a little distant, but told me he was helping family friends who were in town for cancer treatment. I was understanding. Then I received an email one night saying he had fallen in love with cancer patient's sister and they were getting married. They had to do it quickly because of immigration issues (she's from Europe). I called him that night and went off on him-yelling, crying-normally I'd be embarassed but considering the circumstances I think I was entitled to at least that much. I checked the county clerks website and sure enough they were married less than a month after he dumped me.

I was heartbroken, and a complete mess.

A couple years later (maybe 3), I went out for coffee with him and he admitted that sometimes he wonders if he made the right decision and that he'll compare her to me. I finally cut off all contact when I started seeing my husband.

Hoobs, I'm wildly curious about your best friend.

[scattered]

I dated this guy in high school and the first two years of college.

So his whole family flies out for graduation and he texts me and asks me if I'll come to his graduation and then to dinner with his family. I figure why not, free food (I'm klassy like that) and his family is pretty awesome.

I show up and he's all hugging me and kissing me and I can't figure out WTF is going on. Finally that night, after I'm walking out to my car, he tells me I need to come over in the morning because his mom is making breakfast. I asked him WTF was going on and he says....

"Oh, they don't know we broke up."

Mind you, it's been TWO YEARS since we broke up. He lied to them for TWO FREAKING YEARS.

He didn't even tell them for another five months, when he moved back to California without me. Weirdo.

Kuus-- I guess there isn't much to tell. He's a predator. He finds girls that don't believe they are good enough to get what they deserve, and then he tells them that over, and over and over again.

She didn't know him when we dated, and when we broke up, I didn't talk about it or him to anyone. I was just glad that he was out of my life. Hindsight says, that was a mistake, as it make it easier for him to persuade people that I was the bitch and he was the victim.

He told me she was a bad influence, and then a few months later she asked if she could go on a date with him. I said that I didn't care, and was certain that she would see right through him. Well, she didn't. And here we are, three years later, and he lives with his best friend and she lives in his parents basement 2.5 hours away. It's sad, and I really, really hope that she realizes that she deserves better. Even though I've heard rumors that she's fucked around on him a few times. On the bright side, I don't think he'll ever propose, as he asked her to pawn the engagement ring he bought for me.

Hi everyone. I am Hamsterwheel19 from TN. But loving it here.

My best breakup story was that my BF who had given me a hope chest and we were looking at rings took me out to a romantic dinner. the scene of our first date. he was super nervous. (I was 24 he was 23). I was so excited I KNEW he was going to propose. When the bill came and they handed it to him he asked to split the bill (which he never did). Totally thrown off I was like "Huh?" to which he replied.."Sorry but I don't want to do this anymore. I met someone else and I want to pursue it, I wanted to let you know in a public place because I knew you would flip out".

Not only did I NOT flip out, I quietly handed him the bill while whispering "Best favor you could of done for me thanks" and walked out with my pride. I totally broke down on the ride home though and literally had to go into therapy. Young stupid love....

dude! screw his hope chest. whatever that is -- screw it!

I don't have any breakup stories that compare to these. Probably one of my favorites was a guy I dated in high school, who I often forget I ever dated. We met at Disneyland, where we all hung out most weekends in HA. He always wanted to know if I found anyone else attractive or if there were any other guys I liked. He also had ambitions of becoming a professional bowler. Well, this prize of a guy went on vacation and when he returned, he was acting very strangely.

On my birthday, I found out from a friend that he'd confessed to her that he cheated on me. I was not surprised, as that's what I suspected. The moron thought my friend wouldn't tell me, I guess. When I saw him, in typical teenage dramawhore fashion, I stormed up to him and confronted him in front of the entire group of friends. Since it was my birthday, I had a tiara and wand my friends had given me. I got so mad, yelling at him in front of everyone, that I threw down the wand and broke it.

He begged me over and over to give him another chance, but that was the end of it. I don't think I ever talked to him again and I'm fairly certain that he was ostracized by the whole big friend group that hung out at Disneyland.

The tiara and wand really make that story.

[esdreturns]

jessimua - I love that story. The tiara and wand make it oh so much better.

Well, in the 6th grade I had just watched The Legend of Billy Jean (this is important to the story). I found out that my "boyfriend" (yes, I use that term losely) liked another girl and was going to break up with me. I decided to beat him to the punch and found him on the playground at recess. I walked up to him and told him that it was over. And then, in super nice fashion I said that I felt bad that he had given me some stuff and wanted to give him his "change" and then knee'd him in the crotch.

I ran into him this past weekend and thankfully, he was able to go on and have children

And yes, I realize this story would be much funnier if I was 22 and not 12 when it happened LOL
