i recently got dumped by my girlfriend she never told me she actually completely ignored me while she hugged and got cozy with someone else
I don't know what baffles me the most... Being happy because he gave ONE dollar ? Or the fact that her bf dumped her for one dollar ? I don't know, there is something...
I went to school with this girl who dated one of my best friends. (I am female, my friend was male.) After he broke up with her, she started a rumor that I "stole her boyfriend". I had been friends with him for years and we NEVER dated. Fast forward about 15 years after high school, we are all married with kids (none of use married to each other), this bat s**t crazy b***h goes to work at the same place my mother works and starts rumors there about my mother and how her daughter stole her boyfriend in high school. First, it wasn't true... Second, even if it was true - MOVE ON ALREADY!!
My hubby's dad used to get chased by this girl when he was younger. Years later, hubby meets his friend Paul. Turns out it was Paul's mom that used to chase Hubby's dad. The guys ended up being best buds but kept their parents apart, lol
He told me he couldn't be with me BC he started going to Church and it was a sin to b with me BC I was married. Truth be told he was with someone else, and he Denishis his relationship with her. Glad to say I contacted her had a face to face and told her the truth. Best part I told her at the university where he worked and he got fired cause I was a student.
I met my father's ex..they were still great friends after he broke up with her. They were co-workers to boot.
Well that was completely appropriate, lol Hope you got over her Brian!
And here I'm. Every single time anyone says they like me, I tell them they have a excellent taste in girls, but they still need to see a psychiatrist for liking me.
I was trying to think about this too. Then I realized I'm always the dumper never the dumpee. They always start doing that thing where they want to break up with you but don't have the guts to tell you so they start nitpicking at you and treating you like s**t so that you dump them? I really have the worst taste in men...
There has to be some 'Statute of Limitations' on this, right? 00-OMG-5a9...87906f.gif
This happened to my mom then he told her he didn't accept the break up AND THEN told her he was persistent and could "wear her down" I stayed with her for a week or so just in case weirdo showed up but he never did... some people just can't take rejection
Omg my mum is the same! Every man she has dated, including my dad has been s**t
Load More Replies...Oh god....... Does that mean I'm still dating the guy whom I suddenly stopped talking to a month back after 3 months dating???? 😱
Or she was an a*****e. Nothing in the poster's 1-sentence account gives a clue either way.
Load More Replies...when she said take out the TRASH do you understand what she really mean?
I hope the dude got the trash and spread it out in front of the door, LOL....
This is completely inapropriate. I understand the mother's intentions, but the next time you are going to cross another line. This is how you create a dependant man, relying on his mother
OMG!! This one really cracked me up! The little wave at the end got me! LMAO!
Doesn't really seem like the joke was on him...it's 8th grade. That's how 8th grade kids act.
She meant the joke was on him because turns out she’s not actually attracted to guys anyway.
Load More Replies...This is why you shouldn't date 8th graders. They're notoriously immature. LOL.
My friend teased me that I'm dating this guy for years. Little does she know that I'm gay and never liked the guy in the first place...
Yes if they want to, i did in 6'th grade to :-)
Load More Replies...He surely did not use that term, LOL. If so, he needs to get his ar$e kicked real hard...
I agree with you, but at least she got some money
Load More Replies...A*****e in first place. Of course. But at least he had a guilty conscience afterwards. He confessed, he was and said sorry. He even gave the money (which he obviously didn't want to keep, dirty as it was). He could have just left with no words... He should be forgiven. Don't think he ever did something cruel like this that again.
Not that much of an a*****e, lol. That is how a friend of mine did with his girlfriend. He and his friends made a bet for some money that she's say yes, and 5 years later, they're still together! 23 years old now and happy. :D So, teenage bets aren't always stupid. :)
p.s: he didn't like her at all at first, but in the meantime he came to realize she was an amazing person. Aspect isn't everything there is to a person.
Load More Replies...Did u actually knew him? Like an acquaintance or friend. If no, then just how does it work. I will find it very suspicious if somebody knew nothing of me and just casually asked me out.
There's a couple of possibilities. One is that she perceived you as being unprotective, realized that in a dream accurately reflecting her waking perception, and decided that wasn't what she wanted (which is what Mimis things). Another possibility is that she had a dream which did not accurately simulate your behavior (and we've all had those), and she wasn't able to perform proper reality checking afterward. Either is possible, though I'll admit I've had a girlfriend who was mad at me for a couple of days, and when I finally forced the issue and made her tell me why, it was about something I'd done in her dream. The only thing is to make sure that picture of you isn't accurate and move on.
Move on as in either move on from the relationship or move on to some counseling. Even insecure people should be able to control insecurity induced dreams. And yes, I manage myself, so not preaching water with wine in hand.
Load More Replies...Yeah sometimes after a dream you have weird feelings about someone but that's pretty extreme what that woman did
I had a dream that my boss was giving me a very awkward and unwanted shoulder rub. I didn't quit the next day (and my boss has never done anything to make me uncomfortable). I don't understand taking such radical action over a dream. Maybe the dream was a reflection of her view, but it seems like a little time and thought might have helped before making such a big decision.
Yeah. Didn't talk in person, didn't read emails. That's one of those Castaway moments. "We had you declared legally dead. I attended your funeral. She's remarried, dude."
Load More Replies...Does that mean you did not talk to you girlfriend in a month? (because otherwise she would have told you already to check your email, wouldn't she?)
well if you waited to be on the computer to confront her, i can kind of see her point
What the hell! hahahahha u dated her over MSN and confronted her over MSN. Im on her side mate!
I don't talk to my friends for weeks, doesn't mean I'm not all the more happy when I do.
Could have been worse... if it was done on camera at a sporting event.
Load More Replies..."oh don't mind me, I'm just checking the laces of my right shoe while doing some yoga, I'm not proposing at all"
ouch, but at least she's honest before th probably expensive wedding
''it's not me it's you'' - isn't this phrase usually the other way round?
He probably later regretted and still does to this day, thinking, I could've had that....
It makes me wonder........ if he looked them up, you're better off without him.
Or it means he didn't have experience breaking up with people and cared enough to look for advice on the right words?
Load More Replies...Good for you Girl! Congratulations! Proud of you that you got A after just getting dumped!
"Dodged a bullet" yes, that should be the title for all of these.
Load More Replies...WOW, the girl under the bed doesn't have cojones nor any pride whatsoever...
Sure did dodge a bullet! What a snake! He even charmed his cheating with girl, to hide under the bed while he was in bed with you! And she did it! Listened to the two of you get it on, she must be a lover of emotional abuse!
I also got dumped with an "I can't do this". It was noon on Christmas Eve, I was sick with a fever, and had been living with my boyfriend for almost two years. We get back from the hospital and he tells me to lie down and he'll make me something to eat. I hear pots and pans in the kitchen, then suddenly he rushes out, says "I can't do this. We're over," and he leaves to spend Christmas with his parents. I called his parents' house, crying, and his mother hung up on me because she said she had company. That was the last time we ever spoke.
You dodged a bullet with that family. You're much better off without them.
Load More Replies...Now I see the point of conscious guys asking me whenever we're on a date and going to the loo 'You are coming back, aren't you?' I was always surprised, to say the least, like why the hell would I suddenly disappear and this question has come from at least 2 guys
If this is a joke, I didn't really come across. It's not a joke, then wow…
Load More Replies...Oh man, as a mom I would be so mad someone would just leave my little girl high n dry!
Glad someone caught that this was what Newt Gingrich actually did and this tweet is therefore a joke
Load More Replies...Again, so rude and awful. I can't believe someone would do this, right after you got badly injured too.....
Reminds me of a time I got binned because she found Green Day on my iPod!
I don't understand why people get so worked up over pizza toppings. Why do they have to be such pizza snobs? It shouldn't matter. Also these people who are so against pineapple on pizza have probably never tried it. It's good!
you don't want someone who requires you to agree with him on everything to be together
They publish that kind of thing in the paper? Or was it an actual announcement?
It's how I found out my now ex was engaged to his best friend's hook up when we were still casually dating... they divorced and he's still bff with the guy... now he's married again and his wife is pregnant... I do stalk. Not proud but not ashamed.
Load More Replies...be glad you're not the girl he married who thought she had a monogamous relationship
I mean I really side eye this one. The guy was crazy and you were crazy enough to stay in a way y'all deserve each other.
I say that she needs to sue his cheating a*s for the cost of the tickets
Load More Replies...Should've punched him in the face and gotten the tickets back and taken someone else!
Because assault, and the criminal record that comes with it, is a good way to deal with rejection
Load More Replies...Ahh, Brokeback Mountain, that was such a great movie.
Load More Replies...Different topic, I know, but this one reminds me of when Puyo Puyo on Kakao games terminated service. It was April 1st and I though it was a joke. Then I opened the app the next day. It was no joke. The game was really no longer in service due to lack of players.... TT_TT
my friend was born on april 1st and her dad legit missed her birth because he didn't believe it when her mom called him and said she was in labour hahaha classic
My best friend had the same problem she called everyone and none of us believe her because she was also a month early. Gorgeous little girl she now has!
Load More Replies...ALWAYS tell your crush you like them on April 1, because if they don’t like you back, you can say “April Fools!”
He should've cued up the Tom Petty song, You got lucky, babe....when I found you....
I once broke up at my ex-boyfriend's countryside house. Longest 3 and a half hours car ride back to the city in my life.
I once sang Bohemian Rhapsody on a roller coaster. I got stuck. Sang Bohemian Rhapsody on another rollercoaster an hour later. Got stuck on that one too.
Oh my. You're better without him. No woman needs a man who thinks a girls are (whatever kind of) "material".
Same both ways, humans don't sit on a bolt, waiting for someone to measure, cut and craft us into what they think they need.
Load More Replies...And he won’t find her, because she doesn’t deserve someone like that

I would have messaged the husband screen shots of our convos and tell him to get out if he's smart.

Wait, you're also the pineapple pizza girl! Either you're good at using your imagination or you've dated some very bizarre dudes
I once had a vendor I deal with at work ask me to text him; when I told him my husband wouldn't like that he told me to put him in my contacts as Mom. I told him that I thought it would be more fun if I called his wife and told her to check all of his texts to Mom. He doesn't come into my office anymore.
How could he know that Susan wanted to see other people? hmm... maybe he was one of them??
Or, or, wild idea here, but she told him? Thinking he wouldn't tell anyone else?
Load More Replies...Alma: "It started with a kiss, how did it end up like this?" - There were two 16-year-old girls. One girl was dumb, so dumb that she thought that kissing made you pregnant. The other girl was smart, so smart that she knew darn well that that kissing made you pregnant! Think about it!
Wow....Those "best friends" are the worst! Make both of their lives hell by being super happy with other people! Karma will bite both their asses soon!!
Same exact thing happened to me. He told me how all of these girls he dated turned into "stalkers." When he disappeared on me (after getting back from a vacation together), I tried to go over a few times to get some closure and talk about it. If he knew I was coming (like when I finally said, I guess this is over - I'll come get my stuff), he'd leave. I realized, in my desperation to understand what happened, I was starting to act a little like a "stalker." After a few days I realized it and finally just said - oh well. He won't be labeling me that way to his next girlfriend. I didn't even like him that much, I was just confused about what was going on!
I once tried to finish with a boyfriend , when I told him he said it was irrelevant as he had not finished with me! I did not see him again.
To be real, if you're going through college and don't have much money, it probably wouldn't work...
i would've kicked him in his nuts as he was laughing. its so rude to make a joke like that, get someone's hopes up and tear them down. the level insecurities and self-doubt, due to a cruel joke like this, that can build up in someone's mind is not a small thing. Karma will get him.
When I was in 9th grade I had a crush on a guy in 11th that worked at a local deli counter. My kid brother yelled across the counter at him "My sister thinks you're hot!" I was so embarrassed, but a few days later the guy called me. This was before the internet, so he found me in the yearbook and called all the people in the phonebook with my last name until he reached my uncle and got my number. It was a lot of effort so I thought he must like me too. We talked on the phone every night, and he smiled at me in the hall, but never stopped to speak. Finally, he asked if I'd be his gf. I was really excited until he said: "but you can't tell anyone". I told him that was fine, but that he needed to know we would not be having sex until I was finished college. He never called again. I wonder how many 14yo girls fell for his c**p...
This happens often when awkward middle school girls are too obvious about their crushes. I was in a similar situation, though it wasn't the guy's fault, but rather his friends', who wanted to prank him more so than me. He was also pretty awkward himself.
What a miserable person to want to hurt people like that....you got lucky, babe, to avoid that dumpster juice.
What a horrible boy who unfortunately no doubt grew up to be a horrible man.
Wait.. there's more than 1 person in the world named " . " ???? That's Amazing!!
could've kissed someone else nearby! it would've been fun watching his reaction!
it is like buying an iphone, realizing it sucks, then buying another one, same as the first one, just to make sure

As a chick that smokes like Wiz Khalifa with a husband that only smokes once a week, this is one b.s. Excuse .. Heavy smokers like light smokers because then there's always weed, he just wanted to break up.. Take it from a stoner 💯🚬

I feel like he was trying to politely show you that he was taken by being friendly and inviting you to hang.
A gay guy you fanced asked you to come out with him and a guy he liked, not really getting dumped.
it doesn't say he's gay tho. but I agree, she wasn't getting dumped when they were never dating in the first place
Load More Replies...i feel like he wanted to be friends with you and u where never dating
Same thing happened to me! I went to the movies with a guy I liked, and my then best friend. We went and saw the movie, "The Breakup" (oh, the irony hurts). During the movie, they ended up making out and holding hands. She denied it. He sort of did and didn't. He texted me the next day saying that he would prefer to date my best friend, than me. She ended up rejecting him. For some reason, I forgave her, but then years later, after years of her ex begging me to answer him why she dumped him, I buckled and told him. Let's just say, I am better off without that liar in my life!
Sounds like my husband, he has had the same velcro wallet for 20 years and he made me see Jeepers Creepers..it was terrible and we left half way through. Ah memories lol.
So she broke up with you because you had a velcro wallet? What a keeper. not
Best way not to get mugged... robbers see that and say this dude's poor

So first thing Monday morning I marched up to him & he said hey what’s up, and I said, As of this moment, you no longer have a girlfriend! All sassy like & walked off with my bad self. Lol. We’re friends now & have been for years & he still brings it up lol calling me savage. Hahaha kids.
So much for a holiday celebrating love, and the birth of a random redneck
Maybe that's like the 40th job he's lost in as many weeks...remember Stripes?
Load More Replies...Why do you assume it's a male? It would be logical to assume it's a lady since nowhere in the text does it specify the gender, and it was posted by a male.
Load More Replies...That was your opening since she'd rather stay in YOUR convo that talk to the fiance, LOL.
And that's when you get up and walk out. let her deal with the check. This whole time you couldn't have brought up you had a fiance?
She thought talking to you was more important than talking to her fiance? Sounds like she wanted you... So no, you didn't get dumped.
The rest of the movie is her trying to figure out what happened.
Load More Replies...I'm guessing there was a make out session with a stranger. Tequila does that.
Hopefully she never had tequila again. Tequila can be the biggest liar in the world but the premium stuff.....hard to say no, LOL.
This sounds like when my ex didn't tell me he was going to New York and then said he'd be moving to Florida when I asked him when he'd be back
Well, at 17 18 and 19 we aren't exactly men. We're still boys. Just saying.

That was just a dumb waste of money - unless you can add to the engraving to make it sound positive? Ugh.
Add “dancing in the rain” and make sure you’re wearing it the next time you “run” into him lol
Load More Replies...She needs to add "succeed" or "happy" to that and it's a positive quote
I think the boy's the one who wanted to break up but just couldn't because he was grounded

We had to buy tickets in the early 80's. The whole senior year my graduating year boycotted prom because at our school, the juniors raised money their 9th, 10th, 11th years and hosted the dance for the senior year...and they decided to have a bbq rather than a formal. The senior class preside showed up, toasted the junior class (as per tradition) and left. Without drinking any of his iced tea or eating anything. That was the year the rule was made that it was to be a formal dance.

My marriage of 4 years had the stereotypical ending--this isn't working out, I'm not happy, you don't cook and clean enough (he was very chauvinistic). He denied he was seeing the woman our entire small town knew he was seeing. They were living together within weeks, married 2 years later. 10 years later, he's finally seeing the light, divorcing her. On one of his regular calls to talk to our daughter, he unloads to me, despondent, how could this woman cheat on him, how horrible is his life? I asked if he had anyone to talk to about this. Only you, he says. I asked if he had anyone who wasn't his ex wife.

I turned and walked away as fast as I could and never looked back!! It was the only thing I could think of lol, he was creepy!!

In tenth grade, I dated this guy who got upset that I wouldn't go past making out with him. So the idiot told everyone in school that I was sleeping with him even though I actually wasn't. A week later he broke up with me and the reason he told everyone? Cause I wouldn't sleep with him... he looked like the idiot I thought, but it gets better... in my first year of college I ran into him and his friend at a car show while with my best friend also. He was telling me how I became even more beautiful and so on and whatever. I acted like I was super interested in him and when he asked for my number I instead said why don't you write down your number for me since I didn't have my phone with me. He happily did. When walking away from him and him watching us walk away, I marched right up to a trash can and threw his phone number away in an exaggerated way so there was no mistaking. Sweet revenge!
Most of these are better off without the people who dumped them!
At university, a man told us his story. In Korea, young couples break up a lot before the guy goes for military service, because for 2 years straight they can't be seeing each other every day (maybe only weekends and holidays, but I guess that depends on various things). So, him and his girlfriend were one of these couples. He said she dumped him because he was going to do his military service (remimder - military service is mandatory in Korea). However.... After the health checks... Turns out he wasn't eligible for the army and that he got dismissed of the duty, didn't have to go. She didn't come back to him, though.
My Senior year in HS, I was dating this guy, and out of the blue, he called me and told me I "needed to get out and jog or something". Then he listed his complaints about me: I was fat (I weighed 102 lbs, and he was 30 lbs overweight), I needed to stop wearing my glasses(my eyesight was like 20 over 200), I needed to change my haircolor, I needed to get a tan like his sisters (My Irish heritage gave me very pale skin that only burns, and his family had Mexican heritage), etc, etc...Needless to say, I was the one who dumped HIM.
He literally screamed in his voice message, "If you don't call me right now, it's over!" I didn't call. Best breakup ever.

When walking away from him and him watching us walk away, I marched right up to a trash can and threw his phone number away in an exaggerated way so there was no mistaking. Sweet revenge!
Most of these are better off without the people who dumped them!
At university, a man told us his story. In Korea, young couples break up a lot before the guy goes for military service, because for 2 years straight they can't be seeing each other every day (maybe only weekends and holidays, but I guess that depends on various things). So, him and his girlfriend were one of these couples. He said she dumped him because he was going to do his military service (remimder - military service is mandatory in Korea). However.... After the health checks... Turns out he wasn't eligible for the army and that he got dismissed of the duty, didn't have to go. She didn't come back to him, though.
My Senior year in HS, I was dating this guy, and out of the blue, he called me and told me I "needed to get out and jog or something". Then he listed his complaints about me: I was fat (I weighed 102 lbs, and he was 30 lbs overweight), I needed to stop wearing my glasses(my eyesight was like 20 over 200), I needed to change my haircolor, I needed to get a tan like his sisters (My Irish heritage gave me very pale skin that only burns, and his family had Mexican heritage), etc, etc...Needless to say, I was the one who dumped HIM.
He literally screamed in his voice message, "If you don't call me right now, it's over!" I didn't call. Best breakup ever.
