so it doesn't hurt girls feelings as bad, or for as long, or whatever, when I tell them the real reason I'm breaking up with them...?

/you mean I can stop telling them their knees are too sharp?

If she sucked it up, she probably wouldn't have broken up.

You'll get over it.

Like anything else, the more you do it the more you get used to it. Plus, I usually make a list of their pros/cons & there's always more cons.

/you'll get over it

"easier then"

easier than

*shakes a tiny fist of rage at The Onanist.

I came in here to say that.

Easy? Of course it's easy. That's what Al Gore invented e-mail and instant messaging for.

I mean, c'mon, you're breaking up with them... who cares what they think.

I have to disagree. After all, Fark was pretty convinced Endeavor was going to break up today, but apparently it's hard to do than we thought.

Especially when you can start farking her sister, best friend, co-worker, etc.

/just sayin'

I love it when a woman thinks I am about to break up with her.

They will do anything........

So I should just ignore the restraining order?

She'll get over it.

My last relationship breakup went better than expected.

We were together for a year (broke up on our anniversary) and we actually recently moved into a new apartment together.

We're much better off as friends (w/ benefits -laughs-) than boyfriends.

HunterNIU: so it doesn't hurt girls feelings as bad, or for as long, or whatever, when I tell them the real reason I'm breaking up with them...?

That was full of win.

Breaking up sometimes feels like a kick in the nuts. I like to thing of it as her grabbing my crotch one last time...

Okay - since when does a total sample size of 26 people make a good statistical representation?

Also - breaking up is a million times easier than divorce - you just walk away. You don't have to deal with an ex that turns into a vengeful vampire.

It took me almost 2 years to get over my last breakup, mainly due to the trust issues that were caused by my ex in how she left me.

I took it EXTREMELY hard. She moved on qiwith her life like nothing had happened and wanted me to do so as well because (I suspect) she was feeling extremely guilty over what she had done and/or the way she had done it.

I guess I was just more in love that she ever could be...and, considering her behaviour after the breakup and subsequent relationships, I doubt she's capable of true love...she's just got some twisted ideas about it that will screw her up for the rest of her life unless she sorts them out.

So, basically, I'm better off that the harpy is gone...but I know I'm still dealing with the fall-out to this day...

And I have her to thank for that.

When I break up with a girl, I just play "One More Minute" by Weird Al to them.

Well I heard that you're leavin' (leavin')
Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind)
'Cause you found a brand new lover
You decided that I'm not your kind (aahh..)

So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my Rolodex (oohh..)
And I tore all your pictures in two
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go
Just because it reminds me of you (dippity dippity doo)

That's right (that's right) you ain't gonna see me cryin'
I'm glad (I'm glad) that you found somebody new
'Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass
Than spend one more minute with you

I guess I might seem kinda bitter
You got me feeling down in the dumps
'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self-service pumps

Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase
You ain't (you ain't) gonna break my heart in two
'Cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Than spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork
Than watch you going out with other men
I'd rather slam my fingers in a door (yah)
Again and again and again and again and again

Oh, can't you see what I'm tryin' to say, Darlin...

I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches (leeches)
Shove an icepick under a toenail or two
I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue
Than spend one more minute with you

Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks
Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue
I'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades
Than spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip my heart right out of my ribcage with my bare hands
and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it 'till I die
Than spend one more minute with you

I'd say the main difference is that the vengeful vampire in one case is entitled to half your stuff.

MugzyBrown: She wouldn't sit on my face :o(

It was her time of the month.
Freak.

Even AtM?

I hate the early stages of dating someone WAY more than I hate breaking up.

Breakups are not bad- you may lose a lover but you usually gain a friend.

Infidelity on the other hand- soul crusher.

So I guess I'm just a huge pussy since I can't get over my ex-wife after 2 years.

/also, my fault

I like the article following that one...

"hijack bomb was modeling clay"

Remember, no matter how good she looks, somebody....somewhere....is sick and tired of putting up with her shiat.

RadioactiveApe:
Even AtM?

the worst is when they scream at you as you walk away...

"i'm the best thing that everhappened to you!!!" "you're making a big mistake!".. oh and my favorite, "Your'e just lying to yourself, you'll want me back!!"

Yeah, she was crazy...

Been there, done that...

importedbeer: Infidelity on the other hand- soul crusher.

Any betrayal of trust is a soul-crusher...and can jade the victim for quite a while after its occurance, sabotaging future relationships as well (if the new SO isn't understanding of those sorts of things).

It's the emotional equivalent of herpes.

2 months is not a relationship by any means.

Call me when you hit 6 months to a year and have a break up.

The rule of thumb about relationships is it takes anywhere from 1/2 of the length of the relationship to twice the length to get over it if you were really 'in love' with them.

So at most 4 months out you should be over a 2 month relationship. If you aren't you're being retarded.

Date a person for a year, 2 years out is about right to get over them.

Mini Ditka: "It's not you, it's me. I hate you"

I am SO using that one.

i took the break up from me and my ex-gf of 3 years way harder than i expected. it destroyed my life for a couple months, now im able to get out of bed and function but still after 9 months i get pretty f'd up every couple days or so. she says we'll be better off in the long run split up but she's still single after almost a year so im guessing that means shes still f'd up atleast a little too. its been almost a year i really wonder how much of a "long run" shes talking about, but she refuses to get back together.

Breaking up has always been a breeze for me. It's finding a significantly better replacement that's been proving difficult.

Dude - there's only one cure for that - sex with lots of other women, preferably two at a time...

Some breakups are easier than others because many factors come into play. I sometimes wonder what my Worst Breakup Ever is doing these days. Divorced, I bet. Twice.

REOIV: Date a person for a year, 2 years out is about right to get over them.

No way, dude. It's always half or less, not double.

Unless, of course, it's the only person you ever loved or something. In which case, why did you sleep with her mom? And the cat?

WinterstarIt's the emotional equivalent of herpes.

That is a funny yet profound way to look at it.

The emotional aspect isn't really the problem, I just can't afford to hate my wife.

"easier then"

easier THAN

Then - a point in time
Than - used to compare things.

Yellowbeard: Dude - there's only one cure for that - sex with lots of other women, preferably two at a time...

That does help with one's confidence and put a smile on one's face. I know it helped me...especially that 19 year old that seduced me unexpectedly (I was 33 at the time). ;-)

Buddy of mine got over a break up with a little help. She was 10 years younger, about 2 cup sizes bigger, a natural blonde (she didn't really care for underwear) and wanted to please him all the time. Why? I do not know....

szyska: Breaking up sometimes feels like a kick in the nuts. I like to thing of it as her grabbing my crotch one last time...

It feels that way at first, but later that day just hit your local club and get a nice piece of arse and it will take all the pain away

WOW a sample size of 26 people. Man that study must have take minutes and minutes to pull off. Christ was this someone's senior year independent study or something?

farking useless data.
