What would be the most hurtful/painful way someone could break up with you ?

Asked by Pretty_Lilly (4660points) December 15th, 2009

My neighbor went to work last Friday and while she was at work,her live in boyfriend moved out.
That morning he acted all nice and sweet, gave her no notice at all,didn’t even bother to leave her a note !
*I briefly talked to him while he was loading up his furniture,he smiled and said it was actually from a rent-to-own place and he was just upgrading.

Saying they will be back from visiting family in two days and not coming back.

Wait, that did happen to me.
And I paid for the round trip tickets too.

Goodwill got a shit load of clothing from that one.

Whatever way that would make me feel ignored or disregarded would be the most painful. I would like the opportunity to ask questions and get some information to help me resolve what happened and avoid mistakes in the future. Not everyone would be willing to do this of course because it’s stressful on both sides – not just from the perspective of the one being left.

That’s pretty bad.
I guess I would have to say any way that it is handled in a chicken-shit manner.

He e-mailed me. Refused to speak or communicate in any manner to me for 3 days then broke up with me in e-mail. Not the most horrible way, but it still sucked he couldn’t even face me.

Well how callous and cowardly to end a relationship without an explanation!!

I have actually been on the receiving end of a similar ending, apart from I didn’t live with him. He literally cut me off the face of the earth…no text or phone call etc… I was totally unsuspecting and at the time devastated that he could even do that to me…the night before he even admitted that he hadn’t been treating me right (which he hadn’t) and he was going to make it up to me.

I’m now proper ‘once bitten…twice as shy’. To be honest I still hold that fear that my now SO will do that to me…but I would hope that he has enough respect for me to not put me through that.

Tying you to a chair and setting fire to the room.
Or maybe via Twitter.

By dying. Of course that is not her fault, but the pain is horrible.

CMaz's avatar

Would dying be considered a break up?

@ChazMaz I don’t know, since I’d never had a breakup before and this came so suddenly.
