When my girlfriend broke up with me (on the phone) she said "We're breaking up. Bye"

OH NO! Who could have possibly imagined that a new thread by the intrepid young poster could possibly have brought up Facebook so quickly.

when you live with them, its a process. Especially if you were the one that moved in to their place.

Eh it was a "process" for my first girlfriend. We'd been seeing each other for a while, one night we were talking and I basically brought up how I felt like the relationship was going sour and that I thought it might be best for both of us to end it. We met up a few days later to really talk things out, and then it was "finalized" as it were.

Like many things in life, there's no single answer to the question. Sometimes it can be as simple as "We're done, bye" and other times, as mir said, it can take a while.

But I never realized there was a process of breaking up. I thought one/both of them just decided the relationship was over and that was the end of it.

it sounds like you are being overly critical about the way she worded a statement. let it go.

That's not how she worded the statement. She hasn't said anything to me about it.

Someone else told me she's in the process of breaking up with her boyfriend, and it was news to me that there's a process.

If there's a process, maybe that's why facebook has the "its complicated" relationship status

OK so now it's about semantics with me. Let me try again. It sounds like you are being overly critical about the way SOMEONE worded a statement. Let it go.

But in this case, the wording makes a difference.

When my girlfriend broke up with me, there was no process.

to some people a process could take 2 seconds. let it go.

Anybody in the Las Cruces area available to hop on over to the local U's dorm with a large roll of duct tape?
