Ok, I hate to be THAT girl, but let’s just say the guy was being honest about being scared to be hurt? I mean guys are fearful of being vulnerable, and what if we were a little too rough/scary/risky for their egos? Ok I’m done with devil’s advocate, just thought I’d throw that out there and see what others think…I had an ex-boyfriend say that he felt as though he was challenged too much, that he couldn’t do anything right, and that this is why he eventually broke up with me. Truth or sugar coating? Well I learned my darn lesson from it. Breakups can be WAKEUPS.

On the flip side though, I DO agree that people tend to sugar coat their break-up speech when really, it just isn’t working. TRUE translations.

alas….poor sweet honesty, I knew her well…i just hope the next guy I’m with is honest enough to end our relationship cordially and respectfully, just tell me the truth and be honest with me. That just allows me to respect you more…

This post is the truth! After a few months of on again/off again with the last guy, I called it quits. I know it hurt his ego, esp. since he thinks he’s such a great “catch.” Beating him to the punch was the best feeling in the world.

Wow! That guy has some nerve, but sadly, I’ve been in a similar situation. I dated this guy for a couple months and felt it was about to end…but, I let him end it. (Soon after, I wished I’d done it first, but I digress.)

When he broke up with me, of course using the line, “It’s not you, it’s me” (I was thinking, “Are you serious? That is soooo cliche! At least be more creative in your breaking-up), I just acted like I didn’t care. I said, “Ok. I guess some people can handle long distance, and some people can’t. Obviously, you can’t.” He kept trying to explain himself, but I didn’t really care. I wasn’t sad…I really wasn’t that into him.

About a year later, he calls me randomly to talk and he brings up the night he broke up with me saying that I “hurt his feelings.” I was like, WHAT??? You broke up with ME!!!

He claimed that I hurt his feelings because I DIDN’T CRY!!!!! Seriously??? You wanted me to cry over you, to make you feel better? What the hell is that?!

I definitely feel your post!

“Still just friends” is also tricky.IMO, You both dont owe each other anything.

I do think it is disrespectful for him to blatantly do that though.

Unless it’s mutual and/or peaceful, i’d rather not have anything to do with an ex. period. I used to chill @ school with the new girl and my ex would see it and get with her friends and act sideways. it is what it is
