Recovering.

Dumping. I’m really bad at ending relationships and always have been. Hurting people I care about is almost impossible for me, regardless of what they’ve done.

Being the dumper is easier than being the dumpee. The power and decision-making is all in the dumper’s hands.

Being the dumpee.

I haven’t dealt with either.

@rebbel How is that possible?

^^The decision to end it was always totally mutual if not always almost mutual?

I just try to recycle – It’s better for my environment ;p

Recovering, of course.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@rebbel Wow, that’s practically unheard of.

Well, to make it potentially less impressive; I’m now only in my 2nd relationship.

I’d prefer to be the dumpee,
rather than the dumper.

I always hated that term, “dumping” someone. I’m my single days I had to do it several or more times, but only because some women wanted to rush
things and get serious too fast. I prefer the term breaking it off. And I’d still try to keep things cordial if possible. I managed to keep on freindly terms with one of my early girlfriends. She made no bones that she wanted to get married. I didn’t..But after I had flown under her radar for a years, she got my phone number and started calling me again. We were cool for several years until another boyfreind got her preggers and her parents made he marry the guy. That was it for me. I thought. But then she would get word to me surreptitiously that she wanted to see me, and she didn’t love her hubby, and blah blah. That was the absolute end for me, I had to make it permanent. I can say I truly loved this girl, but I’m not stupid and I wasn’t going to risk getting my ass shot off of I was caught with a married woman. I don’t give a rats ass who she loved or didn’t love. Hell to the nooooo. That said of my wife ever left me I would be messed up, I couldn’t handle it. But I honestly feel that only the Grim Reaper can part us. Hopefully not any time soon.
