I knew I had seen a thread like this in the past, you should search and contribute to existing threads!!
Contributing to old zombie threads just gets them locked by the moderators. It is confusing with the note at the bottom of zombie threads saying to updated them when everyone complains about this and then the moderators lock them.
Personally, I think breaking up with someone shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. If you are a halfway decent communicator, you should already have had at least a conversation or two about what might not be working for you.
There was nothing to talk about, we had already had the talk: "If you do this again, it's over."
Other than that one instance, or because of it, I don't find myself wanting to be in a long-term committed relationship.
I am open to meeting someone who changes my mind about that, though.
Sigh. Only our self absorbed, FB, Instagram, Tweeting Tweens on Twitter world would even consider breaking up with a person via text appropriate. I always broke it off with whoever face-to-face. The only exception was with my ex-husband. I broke up with him over the phone while he was working out of town, but that was only because he had an awful temper, I was justifiably afraid of him due to his past behavior, thought he might harm me if he was physically near me, and wanted to protect myself.
I'd left to go to a car show two hours away, it was about 4:00 in the morning and I kissed/hugged my wife, said "I love you", all that. When I got to where I was going I tested her to let her know I made it safely. No response. Okay, figured she went back to sleep. At about 8:00 I had a gnawing feeling in my gut, so I called her. I asked if everything was Ok, she said "Everything's peachy." "Are you sure?" I asked, she said "Yeah, everything's fine." I hung up still feeling that something wasn't right.
It was an all-day car show outing, so I went ahead, enjoyed the venue. At exactly 1:00 that afternoon, I got the following text:
I know this is going to **** you off and I'm sorry,
but I left and went home today. I don't want anymore
fighting/arguing and I feel this is best for us.
Please don't contact me for a few days. I just want to
let you know I'm at my mom's, I'm Ok.
Her "home" being two states away (600 miles travel). Our marriage was not good, but there were opportunities for reconciliation. I'd worked to try and reconcile, but to no avail.
Still hurts to talk about it.
