Or is it the other way around when it comes to your past relationships?

Both, but I think I've done a little more breaking.

I've always done the breaking up except for my 8th grade boyfriend of about a week who broke up with me at our 8th grade graduation dance.

I've been a part of both. It's actually relatively even now that I think about it, with one mutual break up because she moved across country.

this was a hard lesson for me to learn, but i have done all the dumping since my first significant break up when i was in grad school and my live-in girlfriend ended up cheating on me. and it royally sucked living and sleeping with her in the same bed during the break up and thereafter, plus dealing with my dad dying of cancer at the time. but that was 20years ago and i've had 4 significant meaningful LTRs and and a few short term gf's since...

my sister once told me that it's easier to deal and recover from a break up if you are the dumper and not the dumpee. and that has proven to be wise insight. but there's also a character trait involved where as a man, you just have to say you can't deal with the conflicts and disagreements anymore and you believe you are just incompatibility for anything much more meaningful, and best if you both part ways to find someone or something else that will make you happier. because you obviously aren't happy together. and i usually give them some kind warnings beforehand that it's behavior or issues that i'm not sure are healthy for our long term growth, like flirting with other guys, explosive tempers, endless nagging and b*tching, negative mindset, disrespectful behavior, etc.

I've always been the one dumped.

WOE IS ME.

Then again I haven't dated all that much so I guess it's not a big deal.
