Funny experiences of been dumped?

[kittya]

Just reading another thread about someone been dumped by text and I wondered is this common now? What is your experience, funny or otherwise? I was once told how loved I was and the very next day I called him and his phone number had been changed whilst he was flying half way around the world with his other lover!!!

My first love, I was 11 when I met him, 15 when we got together (Groomer now by definition). I adored him, then his ex girlfriend, whom I was friends with and sitting round her house having a drink, told me that they had started seeing eachother again...he confirmed it when he came round later to her house. Later that evening, I started walking home, in tears, then realised I'd forgotten my wallet, so trudged back only for him to answer the door half undressed and looking flustered :(

Fast forward 10 years later, he'd split up with his ex, contacted me through Myspace, used to come round mine as a 'Friend with Benefits' then 5 months into our arrangement, I fall pregnant...again fast forward 4 years, I see him for the first time since telling him I was pregnant, pushing his newborn daughter in Matalan. The look of horror closed that chapter for me nicely lol

I once sent an ex a second mystery valentines card because I thought it would be fun. He got so excited that he could do better than me he immediately dumped me. On valentines day.

I should be grateful though. He was a twat.

Bump - yes I know it is a year. I have met the man who dumped me so many years ago. We had exchanged a few messages via Facebook so when I was in the area I arranged to see in. Just for a coffee in M&S. I wasn't exactly heartbroken to hear that his working life hadn't been a sparkling success and his married life had been worse.

At university I was walking back from a party with a friend, female, whom i had being seeing quite a lot of that term. She was not my gf.
Half way across the common she let go of my hand and stopped dead .

• Whats the matter ?
  
• oh, Stubbornboy, I am so sorry but I don't want to go out with you any more
  
• are we going out together ? ?
  
• you kissed me didn't you ?
  
• well yes, but I didn't realise we were actually going out together . Gosh
  
• well we're not, that is what I am telling you.
  
• ok, hang on a moment
  
• too late now , stubby
  

it wasn't my finest hour :-)

But which one was he, in the end?

[dejavuaswell]

Back in May I wrote
"Many years ago when I was at university I had a relationship that was, so I thought, going along very nicely. The long summer vacation between years 2 and 3 came along and I waited for the promised letter. And waited, and waited. (No emails in those days). So I phoned, no reply. So I phoned once a day for weeks, or so it seemed. Never any reply.

At the start of the next term I arrived back at uni. No sign of boy friend and I never saw him again.

Fast forward 5 or 6 months. I was close(ish)to his home town so thought I would drop in.
I spoke to his Mum but she had never heard him mention me and unsurprisingly would not say where he was or why he dropped out. All very curious even after many years."

Later I wrote "I did Facebook him but cannot be 100% sure which of out of 2 is the correct one. Person A looks (physically) correct but mentions he is a graduate of the university of exactly the same vintage as me (not possible if he dropped out?). Person B got the same degree but from a nearby university 3 years behind me (as if he started again)

I wish he had a less common name Both have accepted being my friend and at least one of them cannot know me."



Well I did find out in the end. Thank you Facebook. He had another girlfriend at home so basically dumped me for her. Then dumped her as well.

I got dumped twice because the boyfriend in question happened to be gay. You'd think I'd have learned from the first time.

The first guy came out to me, the second guy I spotted, but he insisted he was in love with me and he was pretty attractive and I'm as susceptible to flattery as the next girl, so he eventually wore me down. It lasted one week. We went to a gig with another guy and as soon as I was introduced I knew my supposed bf's priorities had shifted away from me. He bought me a double vodka by way of apology. It didn't take me long to see the funny side and we stayed friends.

I dumped a guy (good sexual chemistry, but I couldn't help but regard him as a total loser in every other respect, poor chap) when he asked me what I wanted as a Christmas present from him.
"Nothing, thanks," I replied.
Long pause.
"Does that mean you're going to chuck me before Christmas?" he asked.
I replied in the affirmative.

Like I said, poor chap.

My boyfriend moved house while I was in hospital. I never did find out where he went.

I got dumped on valentines day when I was younger

One of my "best friends" went to great lengths to tell me that I was sooo better off without him etc.

Took him back three months later only to get my heart broken all over again!

Then it transpired that he was seeing this so-called best friend! She was only interested in him cos his folks had money. He had a terminal illness and she was banking on the family taking care of her when he died!

They did get married - I was not invited!

The final twist is that someone from the local pub took offence at his treatment of me and gave him a black eye on his stag do. His wedding was the next day so all the wedding piccies show him sporting a real shiner!!!

i got dumped three times in a row in quite quick sucession ,the final blokw walked into my house and sat down with his coat on looking sheepish, i sighed and said ' dont worry i will do the talking for you , im dumped because you have decided to go back to your ex ,am i right ?' ,he was astounded i knew ,but it was the third time and the same reason all three times for all three blokes , i think thats why my husband looked so attractive , he had been single 15 years and couldnt remember what his ex even looked like!!
the best ever being dumped happened when the guy i was seeing had a celebratory drinking session in our village pub to announce his engagement ,unfortunately not to me , my father was in the pub at the time and told my mum ,who got my best friend to tell me ,all in all i had to laugh

[alarkaspree]

I was dumped by postcard once! I think my mum read it before I did, I was quite mortified. Not actually upset at the end of the relationship though, luckily.

[dejavuaswell]

I did Facebook him but cannot be 100% sure which of out of 2 is the correct one. Person A looks (physically) correct but mentions he is a graduate of the university of exactly the same vintage as me (not possible if he dropped out?). Person B got the same degree but from a nearby university 3 years behind me (as if he started again)

I wish he had a less common name Both have accepted being my friend and at least one of them cannot know me.

Oh, I would have to facebook him! Im nosey like that.

I was 12 and crazy about this boy, Steve. I spent a good 6 months writing every single exchange in my Snoopy diary.

Eventually he asked me out...I was delirious. We went to a disco and I was too shy to talk to him. On Monday his friend told me that Steve thought I was a spaz and was dumped. My life was over...we'd been "going out" for one week. Cried for another 6 months.

Fast forward 30 years...meet him again...he can never even remember that he was my bf. Oh the indignity!!

[grumblinalong]

I got dumped on my birthday, which was gutting enough. He came out with the classic 'It's not me, it's you' line and then pulled out a present and said brightly 'But I've bought you a really good book though'.

Hmm, you just broke my heart but a book about Hiroshima burn victims will definitely make things better

[chandellina]

i was dumped early and often. the second guy i ever kissed picked me up to drive me to his friend's house, where a big group would hang out. (i was 15) On the way, he picked up another girl i knew, and hated, from my former school.

within half of an hour of getting there, he'd gone off with her and i had to sit for several hours watching movies with his mates as they made jokes about my guy and the girl getting off.

finally one of his friends had to drive me home. i stayed up until dawn when i could finally call a friend and have a good cry.

why had he bothered asking me out that night? i couldn't believe anyone could do that. he was a pathological liar who people couldn't help putting up with because of his charm. he died in a car crash at 21 (suicide, you could say) so it's hard to speak ill now. but there was also the time i lent him a guitar someone had lent me, and i found out when i asked for it back that he'd sold it!!!

we were friends for ages, and it was only once i was firmly established in a relationship with a friend of his that he made a serious move for me, begging me to go out with him, because he'd always loved me...

[choccyp1g]

I was seeing a man whose 2 small children were living with him, but he kept nagging at me to move in and have a baby. One day the usual argument was going on, and one of the boys strolled in and said, "never mind dad, if choccy doesn't want a baby, you could have one with "
I was glad to be rid of him, and guess what, she did end up having a baby by him, (but split up before it was born. Proving my point that he was an absolute twunt.

At least when I was a teenager there was none of this dumping by email or text, your mate usually told you!

[bluebump]

I had a a long distance relationship with a boyfriend who I met at uni in my last year. He went away on holiday with some friends and then I never heard from him again! I rang his house after I knew he'd have been home a week or so and never got through to him so after sending a few emails with no responses I just got on with things and met my now current DP and thought he looked like a better option.

Anyway after about a month my mum convinced me to write to his house to see if he was ok and that he had got my messages as he was allergic to alcohol and she was convinced someone had spiked his drink on holiday and he was dreadfully ill or something so I did and didn't think anything of it. Then I get an email a week or so later that absolutely ripped into me saying that I was such a bitch and how could I have left him from someone else etc - he'd been back from holiday for a month and i'd still not heard from him!! What an oddball, better off out of that one!

[mixedraceparents]

A few years ago someone i had never even SPOKEN to decided that we were having a relationship and told everyone so.

A few weeks into our "relationship" I heard through the grapevine that I had been dumped and was "stalking" him

It was pretty funny at the time although I couldn't resist telling him to clean his crack pipe out more often when I finally did speak to him haha.

(Sorry, it is only funny to me in retrospect because I can't believe I drove so far and so much and then he dumped me ... but black humour I guess. Oops)

[JaneS]

My ex and I had a rented house about 180 miles from my parents' home and nearly 300 miles from the university I had just got a place at. We had, originally, planned to live apart as he also had a year further of university to complete elsewhere, so we were moving out of the rented house where we'd been living together for the last year or so.

I was on holiday with my family, some 350 miles from this house (keeping up here?). My ex said he was going to clear out the house a week early so, as we'd agreed to do it together, I cut short my holiday and drove 350 miles back to the house (it took about 6/7 hours).

When I got there, the house was a tip with washing stacked into the sink and all over the kitchen. My ex came and met me as I parked my car, told me he'd changed his mind and was going home to his parents, and he'd be back in a few days to hand the key in to the landlady, on the day I was meant to be moving in to my new place.

He left me to clear the whole house out alone, including all his dirty dishes etc., including making two trips back to my parents' house 180 miles away to get all the stuff out of the house before carting it all to my new place a few days later. All in the space of 48 hours.

Then 8 days later he rang me to say he'd started seeing a mutual friend and hoped I was happy for him.

I felt like such a twat.
