Today, my girlfriend dumped me while taking a walk through a park at night. After that, I had to escort her home as she has an eye condition, and is almost completely blind when dark. FML

ItsGoneForever tells us more.

Hello guys (and probably also girls!), this is OP. I just wanted to explain as to why it was really awkward at the time. I never had any troubles with the escort itself. I became so used to it during our relationship that I even started guiding my mom and friends out of habit. However, she dumped me completely out of the blue. She had doubts about our relationship for more than a month at the time, talked about this with her parents/sisters/friends/etc. Basically, she discussed this with almost everybody around her, except with the one concerning the doubts: me. I personally never felt any doubts, we didn't fight much (just what every healthy couple does now and then :-) ) and my feelings for her never changed. I had even taken her on a 4 day trip to Barcelona (on my expenses) not 2 weeks earlier as a birthdaygift. So when she dumped me while in that park, it felt really unfair, it came as a great shock for me and I also felt some anger towards her which is why guiding her back home was really awkward and something which I didn't really want to do at the time. On the other hand, we didn't fight over it or anything, so it was also obvious for me to stay a true gentleman of course! I had a good talk with her a couple of weeks later and I didn't have strange or sad feelings when I saw her then. Today, it is almost 3 months since the end of our relationship and I feel I am over her. I still talk to her from time to time and we are still nice to eachother (though friends is a big word!).

I'm sorry for your breakup, that's never easy. While it may have been awkward to walk her home, I think that's the best in a healthy break up--it's a gradual transition to being completely separated. You get to talk to each other or at least be in each other's presence while not being a couple anymore, and your final goodbye is (hopefully) not as heartbreaking because you've already had the shock a few minutes before.

Sorry about the break up, good man though, also do you happen to know the medical term for her eye disease,

No offense, but it would have been a dick move to just leave her there in the park alone even if she didn't have an eye condition. It may have been awkward and uncomfortable, but its not exactly a safe world out there.

I'm sorry, that sucks. You're a good man to still take her home.

Nice to hear you remained a gentleman and followed her home despite probably feeling like just leaving here there in the heat of the moment and all the feelings running wild. Thumbs up for staying calm and doing the right thing.

That was poor timing on her part. Definitely don't think she did it on purpose, but I know it still probably sucked for you. I admire your maturity though. Few people would have the kindness to escort someone home after being dumped by said person. Kudos to you. Hope good karma comes your way. ❤

I wouldn't have walked her home. I'd let her use my phone to call a cab, that she paid for. Not my girl, not my problem.

I'm sorry for that OP. But thank you for being a good person, and mature enough to do the right thing in walking her home.

You are a person than me. I would have not just left her there but would have got her to sit down & phone someone else to pick her up. Dumping you in that way is awful.
