Have you ever been dumped for no particular reason?

Asked by ZEPHYRA (21750points) November 13th, 2011

For no obvious reason, fine the one day and dumped the next. Have you ever been given a poor excuse for being dumped?

It’s happened to me once before. This guy dumped me, didn’t give me an explanation, moved out of town, changed his phone number, removed his online profiles, and never spoke to me again. I was genuinely afraid that he was an ax murderer or something!

Yes. I was thinking about talking to her to take things to a higher level, maybe not engagement right away, but heading in that direction. She was looking for a good time in the next week or so to break up. I helped her move from one apartment to another. The next day she broke things off.

Yes. And even though it sucked at the time, it was for the best. When I looked back on our time together, he always had an alcoholic beverage in progress.

There is always a reason, even if it isn’t one that you like. lol

Often people get cold feet, sabbotage things when the intimacy gets too intense for them.
I have only been “dumped” once and it was because the guy was too fresh out of an old relationship to be involved in a new one. I told him I was wary too, rebound relationships are almost always for the wrong reasons, so, it was fine with me. Just firmed up my rule of not dating anyone less than a year or two out of a LT situation.

If someone is unsure or on the fence you don’t want to waste your time with them anyway and it’s for the best.

I don’t believe i’ve ever been dumped. In fact, all past relationships have ended amicably as far as I can recall. Well, there’s that bunny boiling bitch from way back, but we don’t talk about her.
I’ve often thought it sad that people who split up can’t remain friends, ah well, you can’t have everything.

Just recently, actually. Ah, well, can’t win ‘em all.

No. Usually I dump them for no obvious reason…

No. The reasons are obvious and correct.

I was once dumped for being too fat for her. Another time I was dumped because her friend said I wasn’t attractive enough to date a girl on the school’s dance team. How un-cool.

I’ve been married for 46 years and have done everything wrong at one time or another and still haven’t been dumped. I think it takes a combination of tolerant wife and really good luck although I live my life expecting to be dumped at any time.

Nope. I was surprised when my former fiance broke up with me (seemed out of the blue to me), but he had his reasons. I didn’t agree with his reasons, but there ya’ go. Looking back, I feel like I dodged a bullet on that one. ;)

Yes, I was dumped by my boyfriend of 6 months without any explanation. The 6 months included a cozy Christmas where we spoiled his 2 High School sons & my 3 elementary school sons. All of a sudden in March after a business trip I had, he just was not there.Struggled so much for about 9 months. (this was in 1998). Hearing the sounds of Harleys haunting me for a summer.
I even wrote him a ‘no hard feelings I’m doing ok, you brought me to a better place’ letter -no response.
Yes, I am past it, no he was not my ‘lost trust love’ but I still wonder…did he panic at the thought of raising 3 more sons?
Other times I worry, he had a previous health issue, did it re-surface and did he not want to burden me?
I’m married now to a wonderful guy, this ex was truly just a very sweet chapter in my life story, sometimes I wish I could just thank him. In some ways I think he was put in my path to open my eyes for my husband now (long wonderful story).
If you’re out there and reading this, thank you CS thanks for all the eggplant & anchovy pizzas and Port we shared on Fri. nites,I’m doing good!!

Never.
They were justified EVERY TIME!
When I was younger I was not only stupid, but an a$$.
I did get it right when I married. 32 years and a strong willed daughter has a way of chilling a man out!

I’ve felt like that in the past. I’ve thought about my own behaviour, though, and decided that there were reasons. I also think this is a good quote to live by: “An ex is an ex for a reason.”
