    I broke up with her.

    I was sad, and felt awful.

    I wanted to comfort her - but obviously I was the reason for her sadness, so it's kind of difficult to know what to do. I was gutted because she was one of my best and closest friends, even without the romantic stuff. Losing that can be hard - even if it's your decision.

    I don't think we ever really broke up. We just kinda drifted apart. I hope your not out there waiting for me Aman-Duh!.

    • Interesting. Drift-aparts like those usually end in one person forever longing for another. Cause it's all about what-if's and lack of closure

    This generally depends on whether you were the breakuper or breakupee. First one I broke up, I was indifferent and had someone else lined up. The first one I was broken up with was the lowest point in my life. Maybe your poll should consider that as well.

    • What a great point. I modified the options, but at the expense of gender otherwise that would've made the list of options impractically long.

  • I've had 2 what I would consider relationships.

    The first one was when I was 20. It just happened because I had to move. We knew I would move the whole time so from the start it was known things couldn't be permanent.
    The second one lasted 4 years. We got along great usually but she broke up with me for various reasons such as she didn't get along with my friends and she wasn't able to get over past things. I still don't understand what exactly went wrong and I tried really hard.

    I don't understand how people consider their breakups the worst thing ever. It seems many people have never had true problems.

    I always hated the idea of relationships, possibly stemming from being raised by parents who seemed to hate each other, but I gave it a try those times.

    I'm not sure if I ever want to again. Having another relationship seems somewhat horrifying to me. I have never met another person to share my disdain for that sort of love but I can remember feeling at peace at times as well.

    It's so hard for me to get to know anybody and it takes so much effort and drains me mentally and physically in those situations that I think I am better off alone but I often feel like I miss out on things other people seem to enjoy.

    I broke up with her. It hurt enough for me to cry for the rest of the day and have my parents come and comfort me, but at the same time it was a huge relief because the relationship had been extremely stressful and sour for months. Putting that in the past, and realizing my belief that I deserve better than that, felt really good.

    do primary school relationships count? I went out with a girl in the final year of primary school for a couple of months.. does that qualify as a relationship? They were much simpler times then, as a kid you just kind of shrug it off and go back to hanging with other people.

    I'll go with my first serious relationship. We dated for about two years and broke up my first year in college. He made it SEEM like my choice, but really it was an ultimatum. A few months prior he had made me promise that I would "let him go" if he honestly came into a situation that showed real promise. I suppose I should have seen the obvious red flag then.
    Anyway, I cried a lot and I stayed up all that night at Perkins talking and drinking coffee with my best friend. Then I went to class.
