    Walking into a bar and seeing your beloved wrapped around another man. I had to sit down before I fell down.

      yeah, i was about to write something of the sort - It's especially nasty if it's set up.
      As in, you are asked to come to the bar, and find them there, together.

      Bringing the "replacement" partner to the breakup with the "previous" partner is something you - JUST - DON'T - DO!

      Didn't happen to me, but happened in a bar at a table next to me a while ago...

        It might have been better if it was planned. At least if it was planned, she'd meant to break up with me.

        But taking someone to our favourite place? It's one of those moments like being stabbed where you can't believe it's happened and don't know what to do next.

        After I'd got over the shock, I remembered that the bar staff were virtually friends of ours and they must all have seen her in there with the guy (for God knows how long it had been going on) plus many of them saw my evisceration. I got a nice dollop of humiliation to add to everything else I was feeling. Plus I got to be the "live" entertainment for ten minutes. I hate being the centre of attention at the best of times, but especially when I'm unravelling.

        Weirdly, though, I think everyone needs to be stung like this at least once. It makes everything else so much easier to deal with. Or, perhaps not, as some may say I've grown ice around my heart.

        Hmm, sorry for rambling. I'm in a weird mood.

          ah, understandable :P

          sorry for bringing up bad memories via notification, i should have thought more before posting in reply.(or look at the date).

          I have to say, i'm sorry to hear it. I was lucky enough nothing of the sorts ever happened to me, at least not in a receiving end kind of scenario.

          I can relate, though, in a "I'm admitting i know nowhere what it really feels, but i can remotely imagine"-kind of way.

            Ahh, don't worry about it. She's been out of my life for years and I'm so completely over her that I can remember it all without even wincing. I'd only care about any of it if what she did still affected me and I'd like to think it doesn't.

    Worst way to get dumped by someone is finding HIM/HER getting it on in ur bed, and right then and there he is like "You knew it was bound to happen sometime, I have prorities, AND WELL sarah has goals and a modeling contract" then he continues getting it on with the chick, so ur like In the midddle of Time Square screaming "Whyyyyy!" and everyones just starin at you, but you dont care, Honey badger dont care HONEY BADGER DONT GIVE A SHIT!!!!!!!!! NEITHER DID THE MAN WHO CHEATED ON YOU!>:(

    Never a worse way
    I one of those rare people who LOVES to get dumped. In fact chances are I was thinking of how I would dump a female long before she considered dumping me.

    Dump me please, it makes my life much easier

    When you don't expect it. I got dumped this summer, totally unexpected and we had talked about moving in together and was actually on our way to do so. Then a message appeared on my Facebook and he broke it off, just like that.
    The shock was definitely the worst.

    But I got over it, sure it's still something that lurks at the back of my mind and it will probably make me have less faith in guys who claim that everything is fine when it isn't.

    True Story. So in High School, I could tell my girlfriend was drifting apart, and one day, she made up an excuse to not kiss me at the end of school when we say good bye by asking me for a piece of gum, and being like, can't kiss --> **gum.
    So I get home, and then receive a text message. I had this strong feeling that it was from her, breaking up with me. Well, it turns out the text wasn't from her. So I get on my computer and log into facebook and have 1 unread facebook message. She broke up with me in a different form of non face to face communication.

    to just get left with some very harsh written words that you never imagined of and thats all a sudden thing... then you are not left with any means to contact the person again...

    Via text message, twitter, or someone telling you to your face that your gf/bf broke up with you. They're all pretty bad.

    I had a boyfriend that dumped me without telling me. He changed his relationship status on Facebook to 'single' and moved to California. Without telling me! That was the worst break up I ever experienced.

    Through them changing their Facebook relationship status to single without them even discussing it with you. Don't know this from experience, but I would imagine that would really suck.

    Any way that's not face to face. I've never had a boyfriend, though...

    Face to Face might be the most respectful way to do it but it hurts soo bad to watch the one u love break up with you.

    By text message. As adults I would expect a face to face conversation.

    Marriage is the only "relationship" that requires a formal break up. Okay, since I was not actually born in 1920, I'll include the couples that do the "living in sin" and "shacking" thing. I'm not religious or uptight but I am well versed on civil and family law. Married couples and those living under a common roof are entitled to legal separation of property and child custody/visitation/financial support but the boyfriends and girlfriends simply need to understand that their "relationships" are non-binding agreements subject to change without notice. The best way to end these precarious relationsips is to lend the other person a fair amount of cash and simply stop calling them. No argument, no fight, no drama no gripe. If the other person has questionable morals-and they probably do since you have a mind to part ways with them-they will take the opportunity to crawl back under their slimy rock and avoid you. He or she will never pay you back but you already knew it so it is money well spent on revealing their character.

    In person isn't always great. I had a guy break up with me when I was sick with a fever. He came in person but seriously dude, nice timing. Couldn't wait 2 days?

    It was the only break up I didn't remember. He came by 5 days later to remind me that we broke up.
