Have at it. I'll post my own in a few.

Alrighty. I met this girl, we talked for a couple of days and then we started hanging out. We eased into a relationship, but we both felt like it wouldn't turn out to be anything serious. I felt like she was merely looking for someone to flirt with on a daily basis, or hook up with and she (6 months into our relationship) admitted that she had intentions of just flirting, hooking up, then ditching me, but she changed her mind, bec. she fell for me too. I indulged her anyways, telling myself that I could deal with breaking up if it was a short relationship. We dated for 2 weeks and broke up. I thought that was the end of that, but we ended up getting back together. This process repeated for 3 or 4 months. We'd talk, fight, jump to breaking up as a solution. Eventually, I realized that I was falling for her. I started treating the relationship more seriously than I already was. We lasted an entire year (the longest relationship I've ever had with anyone), but she broke up with me 10 days after out 1 year anniversary. She did it VIA e-mail, because we rarely saw each other and bec. I did not have a phone at the time to communicate with her. She cited self-improvement as a reason, saying she wants to focus on school, get a job, be a better person and stop treating me like trash. I told her she was an idiot if she thought I cared about all the thing she says when we argue and fight (they were hurtful, yes, but every time we made up, I pushed them out of my mind 'cause I was just glad we made up and that I still had her).

Shoot, this is turning out to be really long. Damn, sorry for the life story, LOL. To condense this a little... I fell in love with a girl who I thought just wanted to flirt and hookup. She eventually ended up falling for me too, but after a year of dating she broke up with me. I never got a clear answer for why, because it changed as the months passed by. She was the first person I ever actually loved. My first love, I guess - at the age of 19/20. She grew to despise me over the months we broke up. We talked less and less every day, despite my chasing after her for ~4 months after breaking up. It has been almost 7 months now and we no longer talk at all. She ignores me. We're strangers, I guess.

Love sucks. I fell so hard for this girl and she walked away. I would do anything to have that kind of happiness again.

> Dated girl for 5 years (high school up until first-year university)
> Left for a holiday
> She cheated on me
> Came back, never told me she cheated on me just that 'she lost feelings'
> Continued going to university which we both went to. Still hung out and talked normally
> Eventually 'things' happened and we agreed to be friends with benefits (stupid idea)
> 2 months later she 'falls' for me again. I do too then we try to give it another chance
> 1 month later; break up
> We both enter friends with benefits status quo again
> She finds boyfriend and I move on to other girls

... but no it doesn't end here (and still she hasn't admitted to cheating on me)

> 3 months later she calls me to say happy birthday.
> One random night I get a text from an unknown number. Turns out to be her current boyfriend telling me the bad **** she's done to me and him and to warn me she's always got me on her mind and will come back
> Next morning said boyfriend calls me crying and asking if I'm with her. He had been waiting outside her house for 6 hours. (I actually haven't spoken to her since her call)
> Girl breaks up with boy and immediately jumps into my bed again

.. Friends with benefits continues and lo and behold 'falls' for me again saying the L word. I make it clear I'm not looking for a relationship and I've grown commitment issues. She finds another boyfriend. A year later of lost relationships due to my commitment issues of everything that's happened previously I've found a girl that's picked up the pieces.

Rather sad story; I don't know how I held it together honestly.

@BlackWingBlade: would not wish it on anyone else. you should never feel like you're worth less or worthless that you're going to settle down for someone who's not that great of a person.
rn i guess i'm just going to be single for a while which sucks because i had a great relationship with the guy after him but we lost common ground and i found out he felt that he was upset with how the relationship stopped progressing. wish i knew earlier cus i was preoccupied with other stuff and thought he was okay ugh

Back when I was little I was into the whole Maplestory dating thing. Me and the other girl, we were the cheesiest couple you could ever imagine. Poking on Facebook, sending letters, doing monthiversary gifts. Oh god, those are my cringe days. I don't remember exactly what broke us up for real, but we were always doing the whole break-up-get-back-together thing because she would listen to some love song about how your boyfriend is supposed to fight to get you back and she would be inspired to try it. I think we broke up because one time when she did that I was all like "you know what, I love you so much that I'll respect your personal decision, even though it'll make me cri 5ever" and then we never spoke to each other again.

Never dated anyone since then. Traumatic memories.

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for a year and a half now. If we suddenly broke up I wouldn't go for her best friend. That's just so... Wrong.
(I mean, if she wasn't her BEST friend I totally would. She's pretty damn cute. But I at least have enough respect to not do that to her. Even out of spite.)[/quote]

From what I understand they started hanging out while we were together then when they got really close is around the time she started to be cold towards me. I don't know if she cheated on me or not, I never bothered to find out. But that new years was the last time I spoke to either of them as well as most of my other friends. Not because I didn't like my other friends but because I did not want them to have to chose sides.

@NonSonoFronz: Summer, so I couldn't do anything about it from April - September, seeing as we live in different cities.
She's had problems with it before, and still does (sees a ther_apist and everything).

Idk. I can't read her as well. Sometimes I think she still has feelings for me, and other times I don't.

damn btches be cray.

OT: After my first breakup I was a psycho stalker ex for like a day, calling non stop. Then the next day I got my sht together and 2 weeks later he wanted me back and I said no. My most recent breakup I treated my ex badly and pushed him away, now I want him back and he want to be single. Some days I'm like oh well life goes on, and other days I'm like boo hoo come back to me. I'm not the crazy ex calling nonstop this time though.

Well, why haven't you gotten back with her yet?
Is she still all stressed out and not ready for a relationship?

@Zoneflare4:

I know right. At least it did not end well for her either. She started partying and doing drugs a lot more than when we were together. Flunked out of university. Went from valedictorian of her high school and music captain to pretty much nothing.

Been in only one relationship but it was during a young age so I didn't know that much.
So a friend of ours invited us to her party, with her willing to go and me being unsure of making it to the party/not wanting to go then later being convinced to go. As the day came, family issues popped up making me unable to go to the party. During that time I had no direct way of contacting her that I was unable to make it. We got into an argument the following day and I called it off there, I knew the relationship wasn't gonna last that long at the state I was in at the time and her putting more effort into the relationship than I was.

i dated some guy for 4 years, maple/long dis relationship. we met before but anyways
it was always kind of on/off, we'd break up because he would no longer have time for me and 1-2 months later one of us would hit up the other one in good-ish terms like "hey whatup whatchu been up to" and we'd laugh and have fun. then it'd go back to being relationship status. we'd maybe have another month or so of good fun, lots of skype and then it would drop on his side. we would end up arguing, say insulting things to each other and break up again 'til the new cycle begins.
i think at some point i told him i felt stuck with him and he said "well might as well right" and that was very VERY stupid of me. [b]ladies and gents, if you weren't happy before in the relationship, it ain't gonna change the next time around.[/b]

so the last time around, he got distant again, would not tell me where he's been until i started arguing. then he said "well i was on vacation but i didn't need to tell you cus you're not obligated to know anything i do" (RED FLAG)
i broke up with him and was like "you know what, screw this i'll find someone better and more attentive"
but then i found out he had cheated on me prior so i went through that rough time of not eating and starting therapy. at the time my depression hit all the high points except for suicide.

then back in May, he tried hitting me up through someone else and we ended up talking in a skype call. he told me he was so in love with that girl l0l and he let me say whatever i wanted and at first he was like "well i see you've grown" then to the guy "you're everything she wanted, i'm glad i got out of the way so she can get someone better" (this is where i want to go questionmarkquestionmarkquestionmark but basil prohibits that) but last minte he said "nah you're still that sad little girl who will never change" because i think i said something mean but w/e

now he stalks my tumblr sometimes l 0 l

edit: long story short, I liked this guy for 2 years. dated him for a year and 6 months. he broke up right after i came from hawaii because he needed space (but i literally gave him all the space he needed. if yall think im freaking clingy, you're freaking wrong. i always let him do his own thing at school and when i told him it's time for us to break, he said he didn't want to.)

This was my first time and probably only online/long distance relationship. I met this girl through my friends in a maple Skype room. It's pretty funny because we actually stopped playing maple entirely.

After talking for about a month I decided to ask her the big question since we only lived one province away, got a long very well and she's an asian cutie. She says yes and some of best 4-5 months of my life pass just talking to this girl on Skype literally every day after school until I fall asleep while watching movies with her, doing homework or playing league of legends (yeah she plays - amazing right?) and then 5 months down the road, one afternoon she gets weird.

She says that she has no emotion for me, school or anything and think we should take a break so that she doesn't treat me badly but she doesn't want to break up with me. That was hard for me to hear and a bit confusing because yesterday she seemed totally fine. Anyway I understand and I just go with it because maybe I've burned her out with being in her life almost all day every day? Idk. So I wait 3 weeks, over the course of the three weeks we barely talked at all and when we did talk it was like we were strangers, I told her how I felt multiple times and how I thought that if it was going to continue we should just break up and to tell me if that's what she really wanted but she kept telling me she didn't want to, I didn't say that to threaten her I said it because I thought that's what she wanted to but didn't want to hurt me.

Apparently I was wrong. After 3 more weeks of being basically ignored by my girlfriend I finally told her that I wanted to break up. She got really mad about this and said some pretty mean things. Since then I've deleted her from my contacts and we haven't talked at all, we're in the same Skype room but we don't say anything to each other so that's a bit awkward but besides that it kinda sucks. I don't have anything against her, I would even be her friend again I just want her to apologize.

Edit: My past 3 relationships have been in real life so it sucks that by trying something new I had it end very badly.

I just want to be happy like that again. Ever since then I've only really "hooked up" and made out with people so I guess that doesn't count.
