Don't do this to me

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. Devastated, he withered onto the floor into an inconsolable wreck in front of dozens of people. The ribbon of embarrassment that went down my spine was too much for me to handle, so I had to tell him I was "only joking." FML

Number one: WHY on earth did you do this in public? Number two: You should have shown some reslove and stuck with your originlal decision Number three: You're now stuck with this guy, FOR A LONG TIME. He now knows exactly how to push your buttons and obviously can manipulate you into getting what he wants. My advice: Find a couple of guys, let them **** your brains out (at the same time) and let him catch you in the act. I swear it's the only way you'll get rid of this guy. He is going to attach himself to you like a hungry Remora if he hasn't done so already. I hope you like kids, looks like you and Mr. Milquetoast are going to have a few after the wedding....

Well, he wasn't just being sensitive. He was being manipulative. I agree with you that men should show a little more sensitivity, but this is a bit much. Plus, when we do, the women call us ******* and tell us to "man up". Damned if you do, damned if you don't

Sensitivity is fine, blubbering like a child is too much.. OP is a child 4 breaking up w/her man in public... Actually these 2deserve one another

He wasn't being manipulative. He was being emotional. It was OP who had no spine to handle the situation. It is always the one who is ending the relationship who has control.

There is no respect in doing it publicly. Doesn't matter how many people are around. Fact is... the relationship is between you and that one other person. They don't need to know that you two are breaking up and need to console you or the other person if there is a break up occurring. So for doing it publicly instead of doing it privately... looks like he wanted to cause a scene for making it as embarrassing as you made it. You deserve it.

"Letting someone down gently" works better if its a gradual process, say something if you feel the relationship slipping BEFORE ending it. Give it an honest shot once you both know the problem, then if it still doesnt work its for one of two reasons. - someone isnt trying (and by extension isnt worth dating). - there isnt enough there to build a relationship on. Its not that hard, and this way you not only avoid situations like this but you dont hurt people nearly as much.

He did a good job making you feel as shit as possible for doing this in public. YDI. And you need to grow some balls. Break ups are never of the "I love you""I love you too and good luck with your future endavours""Thanks, you too. Bye"-kind. One of two, if not both, will end up crying at some point
