2-part breakup

[Anonymous]

With 36 hours to think about, I would brace yourself, he may be going through it.

After being with Dh for over 20 years, this seems like child’s play.

Did you break up with him? Are you broken up?

You will probably just have make up sex.

Unfortunately, I think you’re right. Despite the work emergency, BF found the time to send me several messages in the middle of the night (I didn’t see them until morning). They were extremely angry and accusatory. It’s unclear if he still wishes to speak tomorrow. I’m not sure how or even if I should respond given he’s presumably still in the thick of things at work. PPs are correct that this is more drama than I anticipated.

lol yes, you do. I don't want to have a long drawn out conversation with someone I don't want to be with. Total waste of our time. "Ok" is a perfect response/ending.

Time to block that boy.

Is that not normal? I’ve never broken up with a significant other without having one last meaningful conversation. In this case we began talking right after work, but then BF was unexpectedly called back in.

It was normal for me. One 4 year relationship and one 2 year relationship with a significant conversation at the end of both so maybe it depends how long you've been with the person. There is something between beating a dead horse and blocking someone as a respectful means of ending a relationship.

We were together for 2 years, and it was quite serious.

I don’t think it’s necessary. I wrote a gentle response and asked if he still wanted to talk Thursday but he didn’t reply. I think he’s done.

Correction - he just sent another middle of the night message (I kept my phone on this time) saying he’s looking forward to talking. Now I’m really confused - does he just want to ream me out some more?

Ugh- I had a guy do this once after an 18 month relationship and yes it was to point outlet all my many physical and psychological flaws. He even had another girl at that point.
I’ll say this: at the time it was mortifying and hurtful but now decades later it helped me see that I probably didn’t want to be with them anyway as that would have been my marriage.

My ex did this with his AP. It’s an excuse to bang again. They will drag it out and milk it for all its worth. He broke up in person because he figured he could hit it one last time —said this actually. They don’t care and unless you rip the band aid off—you are the booty call.

If you gave him a lecture and he sat through it, you should probably do the same for him. Use a public space like a park bench.

You both sound awful though. Like the kind of people who do exit interviews.

She wants it to happen now so that she can come back here and complain about him to strangers on the internet. He can do that same about her on his gaming twitch stream.
