Love: Breakdown

Breakdown

By Anonymous - 26/07/2015 16:36 - Finland - Vammala

Today, my girlfriend called me and said she needs to take a break from our relationship. Why? Her really clingy ex is really depressed about her dating someone else and he isn't ready to accept it. So she wants to take a break "for his sake" until he's over her. FML

Today, I haven't heard from my girlfriend for over a week, after being in a relationship for 7 years with her. She'd called me, saying she had to care for her ex-husband because he had suffered a heart attack. Guess we're over. FML

Today, I told to my girlfriend of 5 years that I'm depressed about having no friends, no job and a difficult family life. I told her that she's the one constant that keeps me going. She decided this was a good time to break up with me to "find" herself, since I was being so mopey. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me for being "too clingy". I haven't seen her in over 3 weeks and texted her first once. Guess that's still too much for her. FML

It's a good thing you're taking a break, you can find a better girl than her if she's still concerned about her ex

She doesn't deserve you. And you guys should take a very long break.

If I was a doctor, which I'm not. I'd prescribe her ex a cup of concrete daily for the next 6 weeks.

That's not ok at all. He is effectively a homewrecker, and he probably meant to be one, OP. Unfortunately one of the better options would be to sit her down and tell her if she really cares about him like that, then go ******* be with him. (Exactly like that.) She better not come crying to you when he starts being clingy to the point of scaring her off.
