What's your story?
Mine: I was moving away from home to study in a university, and he just didn't--couldn't try harder. You know how it is.

Oh it's such a fun story. He ended things after he went to college in a different city because another girl wanted to bang him. She did, and she got pregnant a month later. During winter break, we hung out and he said he still loved me, wanted to be with me, etc and basically made me think he'd break up with her.. but they got married. And that was that. Yay fun story!

My first "real" relationship lasted about 18 months. I don't know how it lasted 18 months, but it did. Go team. Anyway, I think toward the end we were arguing quite a lot, it just sort of escalated over a year or so and generally there was a lot of tension. He had "cheated" on me numerous times throughout the relationship, by cheating I mean he kissed other girls and generally the relationship was a disaster. I won't lie, I kissed one of his friends and one of my friends, so I'm not in the clear either, I was just as guilty as he was.
We also had problems getting along. We just weren't friends, which is a HUGE problem considering we were suppose to be more than friends. I didn't find any of his jokes funny, I found his personality repulsive and we just didn't seem to be two people who connected in any way.
Eventually, I started getting a bit antsy to travel, I watched a travel show on tv and I just remember thinking to myself "I have to go and I have to go now!"
A little while later, I started "sensing signs" I would hear songs on the radio and I though "this is telling me something" and weird stuff like that. One night we were at his friends house and the white gold ring he gave me broke. It was the last sign, I just burst into tears because I realised it was the final sign I needed.
Unfortunately, I worked for his family! So that was awkward. We actually had a very mutual breakup, we spent the afternoon talking it over, he helped me pack up my stuff from his house, we talked more, I think I may have had dinner with his family and we sort of went our own ways. I went on a trip around Europe about 2 weeks later.
Problem is - I remember the breakup being very amicable and it was, in the end, a mutual decision. We were on great terms in the end and I did keep working for his family for a while. Eventually I moved states and suddenly I got the feeling that he would probably have a few nasty words to say to me if he saw me again. It's just weird..at the time there was NO bad blood between us even after all the problems. Infact, I'm pretty sure he tells people that he dumped me...HA!

My high school boyfriend and I broke up because he was "talking" to my best friend. We were together nearly two years. We've moved to the same cities ever since high school which made things very awkward for awhile. When we transferred to the same university to finish up, I helped him get involved with a fraternity. Things were okay socially unless he was drinking and then he would try to make a move on me. Not fun.
However, after all the drama we went through, we now go out for drinks every now and then. It's strange how people change as they grow up. Granted, he still tries to date some of my best friends which is strange.

Broke up with him while I was in another country.
Guess that makes me the douche bag.
There wasn't really anything wrong with him or me, we were just best friends who tried to translate that into a relationship and it was nice, but in the end, wasn't gonna work out.
Probably should've waited until I was back in America, but I was really scared/awkward.
We're still friends, on the real though.

This is my biggest break up because he is/was my first love. We were together for 2 and a half years and he broke with me 2 days ago :( Although it wasn't 'messy' he was my best friend as well so I am not used to not speaking as much to him and just having him as such a big part of my life, therefore I think I will probably always have some sort of feelings for him.

I was 19, he was 32, divorced w/ 2 kids, best friends w/ my UNCLE & an alcoholic. It took me maybe 2 years to figure THAT shit out. Oh yeah & he lived 150 miles away & I was the only one w/ a reliable car which meant I had to go to him always. Don't get it twisted, I pursued him & fell in love. Then it just took me a little while to realize that I deserved WAY better, in all aspects of life.

I hadn't really had a concrete relationship with the guy, he was my first boyfriend and first sexual encounter. But we were still immature and it just didn't happen. And because he was my first, I'd grown to love him, bizarrely. It didn't end very well. I was a victim of unrequited love, and he took advantage. Now, if I see him in the pub, we act as if we don't know each other. And that's five years on.

We had been dating for over 16 months, and then I became a christian to which he just didn't understand or want a bar of it.
