ok well this doesnt really apply to me at the moment but it has happened to me before. i just wanted to know what should i think, how do i put it into perspective when a girl breaks up with you for no specific/particular reason? but you want to know why just for further explaination and closure. how can you put it into a reasonable context?

If I had the reason or explanation I would write a book and make millions.
I know someone happily married for 5 years. Out of the blue she finds
a text on her husband's cell from an old girlfriend claiming she still has
feelings for him...does he? she asked.
This woman gave up her friends, her job college, everything to move
900 miles from family to be with him, when they first married.
She was without friends, family, income and she had to move out of
their home.

It's not fair. He still won't tell her why. Their divorce will be final May 09.

Hang in there Andrew. You're not alone.

yes but i mean when someone breaks up with you for no reason and they dont explain why and you feel confused and desperate to contact her again just to find out why she really got rid of you- what should you be thinking that would stop you from asking her why she got rid of you? how can you put it into a perspective so that you will not need to ask her why she got rid of you?

Tell yourself that anyone who could be so callous and rude to break up with no explanation isn't worth your energy anyway.

me too i always wonder. but i gota be honest, i think a lot of people unless they are really young already know, they have already done it many times and know why they are getting dumped.
what i dont understand about the process is the hookup afterwards. i think you are right there needs to be closure of some sort otherwise is see the following
so often i see a gal dump a military guy and next time i see her she is with a total dork getting alimony or child support with a fat settlement, i understand the desire to get some assets and get away from mr drill sargeant, but why date pee wee herman.

"She's just not that into you."


Seriously, if she needed to come up with the reason why, there's a good chance it'd make her out to look (insert some type of unpleasant personality trait here (for example, selfish or shallow) and she'd rather save face and have you keep thinking nothing but the best of her.

If I knew I would tell YOU, that poor woman abandoned so far from home and about everyone of dating age on this globe.

It happens. It hurts. She, like you had no warning. No "sign."
And she was married to the guy and poof! he is gone.

Hey Andrew

people don't do things for one reason, but many...perhaps she thought you and she are not mentally compatible, meaning...you don't share the same interests? Maybe she is looking to date someone whom she feels is more like she thinks and feels? We women are sometimes a confusing breed, but I wouldn't take it personal...just move on and keep meeting people.

Hugs
Creme

you don't always get an answer or a satisfactory explanation
break-ups are by nature not "neat and tidy"

also in a lot of cases and a lot of the time, it's not about you, her reasons are about her, and there is nothing you can do or say to change any of it

so acceptance is important to your own peace of mind so you can get on with your life: in this case accepting that she is gone, and accepting that you don't get to know the reason why
