One time time I stopped seeing a girl because I wanted to and I felt miserable. It's funny but it can be true. It wasn't the same thing for me but she loved me a lot and that made me feel like the lowest crook.
Originally posted by wormwoodI didn't cry while saying it, but I was very sad and the words barely could come out off my mouth. I did cry later when I was on my own but I cried for knowing that I was making her very sad. I still cared a lot for her and there I was breaking her heart. I saw myself as a bastard for quite a while.

But girls can be more emotional than us. Yesterday I was seeing "The Lion King" with my girl and she cried a lot when Mufasa died. 😕 Yes it was said but she's 23 and that's only a cartoon for god's Sake! On the other hand she cries a lot. When we saw Kidulthood she also cried at the end.
Edit: The bit "It's not you it's me" is wholly untruthful I agree with you on that.
Originally posted by adam warlockwell okay then. I guess I'm just a heartless bastard, because I'm not even near crying when I break up with someone.

I know all about girls being emotional though. one ex-girlfriend could burst into tears in the middle of the night, because she had started thinking about poor chinese orphans or whatever. but that was the hormones talking, a week later it wouldn't have happened.
btw, she gave me the "it's not you..., not in a place..., crying", the whole treatment. I tried not to watch x-files on the tv too much while she went through the act, y'know, to not appear too blunt or insensitive. but I still was pretty screwed up for a couple of years. it doesn't take tears to be a wreck. we're still friends, but I didn't go to the wedding.

I recently broke up with my gf of 1 year... it was hard and I'm not sure exactly why it happened.... deep down in my soul I knew that she wasn't the right person for me... I didn't know why and I still don't... she was the most amazing person. Far better than me. You know, I sometimes think that women are more in-tune with a deeper side of life than men are... they are really emotional beings.
The funny thing is that now that we are broken up we are both re-discovering ourselves... and I don't know if we could have done that while we were together, so really in the long-run it was probably a good thing... I've come to realize that there is good and bad in everything, we must choose to look towards the good parts rather then the bad.
