Let's hear some breakup stories....
- Thread starter Chipper
- Start date
It's kind of funny, of the two serious girlfriends I had before my wife, one is a extreme right-wing Christian type that hasn't dated since we broke up, and the ohter got knocked up by some immigrant construction worker. Interesting juxtaposition....
There's a guy I know who when he was in his mid 40's when he decided to hook up with his daughter's 21 year old best friend. His wife happeed to come home one afternoon while the two were "busy." A commotion ensued, and the game plan was to hide her in the closet. The only problem with that was that she was a bigger girl, and couldn't fit in the closet. With no place to hide, they were busted.
They ended up getting divorced, and he dated the 21 year old for a while and eventually married her. The marriage actually lasted six or seven years which was quite surprising to everyone.
The marriages may have ended, but it's a really funny story, and one that will be funny forever. And that is all that really matters!

That video is all sorts of awesome. The learned lessons is what push it over into unadulterated win though.
That was a great story.. the only real winner there is the stranger she anger ***** thinking her bf has left her... that man was just in the right place at the right time..
About the only one noteworthy in my past is when I actually had the stones to break free from a popular theme while being dumped.
It went something like this: Woman decides she isn't happy, has an old flame in mind and wants to go hook up with him instead. Woman wants to stop getting nekkid and having any kind of physical relationship but wants me to stick around because I'm the only one who "really listens to her", "makes her feel like a woman", "makes her happy - even on a bad day", and "makes her laugh and think about life".
It was the typical "Can we still be friends?" B.S. that gets thrown in during a break-up speech. For once in my life I had the spine to tell her I have enough friends and it would be better if we parted entirely. No hard feelings, I told her, I have good taste and I really wanted a relationship with her and if I were to go trash talk her it would be an indictment on me as well so I promised I would never speak an ill word about her other than it "didn't work out".
No phone calls, no letters, email or whatnot. A truly clean break with no strings or negativity. She was speechless. Hurt like hell but I kept my head high and went on to better things.
Saw her 8 years after ISU in some small town up North working in a Casey's. Grabbed a soda and slice of pizza and told her she looked good and hoped she was doing well. Got back in my car and re-lived the whole "Can we still be friends?" - "No, I don't think so." moment and drove away.

I had been married for just over three years. We bought a house together in February, 2002, and had our housewarming party the last weekend in June. That following Monday morning, she woke me up at about 8am (after I had worked all night til 6am, and had just gotten to sleep), to inform me that she no longer trusted me. That she wanted a divorce, and she was going to start sleeping in the spare bedroom til she found a place.
I was a little shell-shocked, and had no idea where this had come from. So, we lived an awkward couple of months together until she found her new place. She called me up to sign the divorce papers on my birthday (almost 7 years ago today), and we were divorced a couple of weeks later.
Really didn't hear anything from her again til about 5 months later when she had called and left a couple of messages, telling me to call her when I got a chance. I finally called her back on my way home from work one night. She told me that maybe I should pull over or wait til I got home. I said, don't worry about it, what's up.
She said, "well, I just wanted to let you know that I got married." And I was like, uhhh, ok? Thinking, why did you need to call me to tell me this? And asked when that happened? She said that it happened the last weekend of April. With my quick goat math, I came to the conclusion that they were married less than a week after our divorce was final. Neat. At that point, I hadn't even as much as dated anybody. I asked her if it was this dude that she worked with, and she said yeah. I always had suspected that she liked the guy, but she always denied it.
Then, she said, "that's not all. I'm also 4 months pregnant. I got pregnant on our honeymoon." Neat again. So, I said, "wow, that's great. I'm really happy for you." And she said, "you are??" And I actually was, kind of. When we were together, she had two ectopic pregnancies as a result of endometreosis, and eventually had to have one of her tubes tied. So, her chances of ever having children was small. So, I was actually happy that she was actually to have children, though she didn't believe that.
So, anyway, that would be my main break-up story. It was kinda shocking at first, but as with about anything, you later realize the old cliche that everything happens for a reason.

Three scrambled with tabasco (and a spash of milk). The bacon was crisp, the toast was that perfect golden brown with butter and just a thin layer of grape jelly. It was once of the best tasting breakfasts I can remember.
Forgot to mention in my original post that after about three weeks the ex drops by my place unannounced. She states that she has missed being together. My reply (verbatum) "Thats interesting, I don't." At which point she starts to cry and she leaves. I can't say I felt bad then or now.
This reminds me of my favorite "break-up" story. A buddy of mine in his younger days was quite the playa. So, he had two girlfriends at the same time, for quite some time. He really didn't like either one that much, but he worked odd hours, and really didn't have time to start seeking out any new relationships, so he just went with it.
So, one night he was really hammered and in bed with one in his apartment. When, all of a sudden, the other one walks in on them. He jumps up out of bed, as she's screaming and crying and says, "wait, wait wait! Wait a minute, now. I wasn't with her. Are you going to believe me? Or your own eyes?"
That slays me every time I hear it...
Not exactly a break-up, but truly the beginning of the end. I was seeing this woman for about 6 months. The past three were either all gettin' in on or we're in a tremendous fight. I was pretty sick of it by then, but also some what addicted.
So, she's become jealous of anything, I mean, ANYTHING I do without her. Having beers with my best friend or going to a game watch ended with "I think you're gay. You have it so bad for (best friend)." Huh, wait, what? So then she would go into details about things I did and "analyze" them as evidence. After five minutes of this diatribe, I told her, "Shut up. If you're going on a witch hunt, you're going to find your witches."
She looked like I had slapped her and was totally speechless. I won.

stealing his ex-wife's squeeze.
I got the boot the night of my 19th birthday. Who the hell dumps somebody on their birthday? Can't they just wait a week? What's weird is got my birthday gift she gave me a jacket I had been wanting.
I know the question will be asked and the answer is "Yes. I kept the jacket."
