Crazy Confessions 15 Unbelievable Ways People Got Dumped

Getting dumped is a part of life. Whether you are the doer or the receiver, it's inevitable that you will be both at one point in your life. And being on both ends sucks. It horrible to give the news, but equally as horrible to receive it. There's no easy way around it. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you will have an amicable break-up where both parties are in agreement and where both parties are mature enough to deal with the situation at hand. If only all break-ups were so simple, right? But they're not and we know they're not. Some are much more complicated, some are gut-wrenching, others are impossible, but whatever the case, know that you are not alone and that struggling through a break-up is a natural part of adult life. Break-ups teach us about ourselves and they also teach us about the reality of life. It smacks you in the face. It says, Things don't always go according to plan or You don't always get what you want. Break-ups are honest and they make us understand the value of honesty. However, not everyone is so introspective when it comes to break-ups and least of all those who are not in touch with their feelings or the feelings of others. Here are some confessions about break-ups that might have you feeling blessed or might have you nodding your head as in, I've been there, done that and never again, please dear lord.

15 By the waiter at a restaurant

Sandra's story is not so cute. After dating a guy for more than six months, she thought things were going fairly well; her man had never even hinted at breaking up and as a matter of fact, they spent their weekends together posted up in love. "I didn't expect that he was even considering a break-up, that's how good things were going," Sandra confesses; but he clearly was thinking something else. He had asked her to meet him at a restaurant for dinner, but when she showed up, he wasn't there. "He was always there before I showed up, waiting for me, like even gentlemanly, you know," Sandra tells us. She was shown to a table and within a few seconds the hostess gave her a folded up piece of paper. "Girl, that piece of paper had a few sentences scribbled that basically said he's sorry that he couldn't do this face to face and he figured a note would break it to me softly," she says. It's the strangest break-up she'd ever encountered. She claims he disappeared from the face of the earth after that, never to be seen again.

14 Via snail mail

Some of y'all might call getting a letter in the mail romantic. Like who even does stuff like that anymore? That's from another decade, but also another century. It's old school for sure and normally it is connected with romance, but not in Isabell's case. Isabell said that she and her man had small disagreements, but nothing out of the ordinary. She also said that her man was really interested in leaving the country and starting new some place else; while Isabell liked the idea, she was pretty comfortable with a stable career and a nice apartment. "I didn't think he was so serious about leaving, but I guess I was wrong," Isabell confesses. Despite having been together for over three years, Isabell got the break-up news via snail mail in a handwritten, scented letter that basically told her that she was not the one. "He said that the one for him would have helped him live out his dreams and not been so comfortable in life," she confesses. While he might have delivered the news in a strange way, he makes a valid point.

13 Through social media

This is standard these days, right? People get together and break up all the time on social media. It's a thing, like a legitimate thing people do and it looks like it's here to stay as unsavory as it is. Penelope was the victim of a pretty cruel social media break-up. "He posted naked pictures of me on his page for the whole world to see. He turned some of them into memes that read slut or whore," Penelope confesses. Uploading and sharing intimate photos with threatening headlines is becoming an epidemic among men who are convinced that their girlfriends have cheated on them. Penelope was not only embarrassed, but felt threatened by the comments. "They were talking about what should happen to girlfriends who cheat and the comments got more and more violent until I was convinced that they were coming for me so I reported it to the police who could do nothing because this stuff happens online and not in real life," Penelope says. Beware ladies, don't share naked pictures so quickly and look for signs of a jealous or possessive boyfriend early in the relationship.

12 Right after being intimate

Natalie was head over heels for a guy who she had been seeing for a few months. She said that while the relationship was pretty physical early on and the majority of their time was spent in the bedroom, she was envisioning a long-term relationship with him. "He had even talked about moving in and how great it would be to see each other and make love all the time and I was like hell yeah," Natalie admits. But within a few weeks of saying those words, she said that her man became dissatisfied with their love life and was having trouble getting things up. It was like the moment he mentioned commitment, everything went downhill from there, she confesses. Then it happened, right after they finished making love, he got up, got dressed, and told her he couldn't do this anymore. "I was so shocked and confused, I mean I could see what was going on, but no one expects a break-up the moment the sex is finished," she tell us. That's cruel, no doubt, but perhaps sooner than later is better, darling.

11 Through a call from his mother

Depending on the man and depending on the relationship, meeting the family can be a huge part of making couples official. When a man presents his girlfriend to his parents, he's proud and asking for approval, he's hinting at something more serious, he's telling her how much he cares. Yesenia felt the same way when her man introduced her to the family. "I was like, wow, this is the next step and he's serious about me and I began to wonder where things would go and if I was ready to go there," Yesenia tells us. Eventually, she grew close to his mother. "We had so many things in common and since I was living far from my own family, she became like family to me," she confesses. They would chat on the phone at least once a week and once a month get together for lunch or dinner. But all that would soon come to an end when the mother called Yesenia to break the bad news to her. "She said that he had fallen for another woman and that she was so sorry and could we still stay friends," Yesenia admits. And yes, they are still friends, but she has nothing to do with her ex, period.

10 Over food

Couples share dozens and dozens of dinners over the span of their relationships because that's what couples do together -they eat. While that's not all couples do, the majority of their time will be spent eating, talking about eating, cooking, arguing about eating, or getting take away. Food is a huge part of making a couple official. Karen and her beau ate out at least three times a week. "We were real foodies and any new restaurant in town we had to hit up," Karen tells us. Karen also says they had a habit of ordering something new at each restaurant which was fun for them, but at one point Karen noticed that he would get annoyed if she ordered the same thing twice, "He would get all quiet and be like, That again?" So during dinner one night, he said he needed to talk to her seriously and what he said next was not what she expected. He said he needed a woman who was adventurous and not afraid to try new things and her choice in food was indicative of her inability to be experimental. Karen was even more shocked when he stood up and left the table. Goodbye for good, Karen, he said.

9 By a note stuck to the front door

A note left in a bag, under a pillow, or on the nightstand is super romantic. These are signs that tell us our partner put in a little extra effort to make us feel good about ourselves, the relationship, or both. It's a sweet gesture and it's a gesture that should be done with more frequency. However, in the case of Alexis, the note she received was not so romantic. Alexis says she left for work like normal and didn't notice anything on the door to her apartment, but later that evening, she saw a piece of paper taped to the door. "I immediately thought it was the post office or the neighbors, but never in my wildest dreams did I think it was a break-up note from my man," Alexis admits. She said the note was detailed and even had dates and times when she had committed atrocities according to his standards. "It read more like a police report than anything else and as much as it hurt, I figured that he wasn't the guy for me if he could retain all that information about me and not remember the good stuff I brought to the relationship," she confesses.

8 A complete phone number change

In today's society, number changes happen often. People lose their phones, get them stolen, or they shut down/break. It's nothing out of the ordinary when someone has to change his or her number, however, if you don't get a notice about that number change, then that's a huge sign that says, Stay away, stay outta my life, goodbye and blocked. Nikki was the victim of this cowardly tactic. She says that one day she went to his Facebook page and it was gone, like completely gone. "I thought I was imagining things, but when I went to his Instagram and Twitter account, the same thing, so of course, I thought, I'd better call him and see what's the matter, but when I called the operator said the number was no longer a working number and please, dial again," Nikki confesses. While that's harsh, like really harsh, this is not the first or last time a guy has done this; even women have broke up with dudes this way. "I was devastated and didn't know how to respond, but when a friend of mine told me that a guy had played her like that, too, I realized that he wasn't a man but a boy and I was having none of that," Nikki tells us.

7 Upon returning from an overseas trip

Traveling is the best. It's getting away from the mundane routine. It's seeing and learning about a new culture. It's being free as you wanna be. And that's just what Brooke had in mind. She needed a break from life and while she was very much in love with her man at the time, she knew she had to do some soul-searching on her own. "He seemed fine with it, he even helped me find a guidebook, took me to the airport, and gave me a travel journal with a sweet note inside saying how proud he was of me," Brooke tells us. But during her trip, he became hostile even accusing her of cheating. "I was visiting my family in Europe and was not remotely thinking about other men, least of all in this tiny village where my family lives," she admits. She ignored him and realized he might be insecure, jealous, or both. However, when she got back, he told her that he could never be with a woman who traveled on her own, regardless of the situation. "I knew then and there that everything he had done before was a real struggle and he was trying to do it for me, but couldn't," Brooke confesses.

6 In the middle of a movie

It's one thing to have disputes, it's another thing to have them in public. Vanessa says she and her man would have little spats about stupid stuff, like missing a stop on the bus or whether or not the color of someone's jacket was black or blue. "We were both very opinionated, I guess, and that led to lots of little arguments here and there for no real reason," Vanessa admits. They also were big movie buffs and liked to analyze movies down to character development and plot. "We got heavy with it," she tells us. So one time when they were disagreeing over a character analysis, he stood up, and told her he was finished with her and stormed out. "I thought he was just having a fit and didn't know how to deal with the situation, but when I called him after the movie, he said that he can't be with a girl like me who doesn't see things the way he sees them," Vanessa confesses. Better that he tell her sooner rather than later that he likes his women complacent rather than opinionated.

5 Right before Valentine's Day

For some women holidays are a time to be paired-up, to be cuddly, to get nice romantic gifts. Others realize it's all a ploy to get us to feel bad about ourselves and to fall into some pit of depression and unworthy self-berating that will get us to the stores anyways, despite not having a boyfriend; because capitalism makes us feel like we've almost got a boyfriend, close enough. Ruby is a sucker for Valentine's Day and still is. "I know, it's a gimmick and a joke, but I just love what is symbolizes," she admits. So when she started dating a writer, she was sure that he would write her the epic, sonnet dreams are made of. "It's silly, but when we started dating, I calculated the time until Valentine's Day and was like for sure I'm gonna get a poem or something, I mean, come on, he's a writer," Ruby says. Well, she did get what she asked for, but it had zero romantic sentiment. The note read: Sorry, I'm not into this anymore. Best of luck. Talk about short and sweet, huh?

4 After the death of a family member

Death is hard. It's one of the biggest causes of depression, anxiety, and stress. And if that's not bad enough, death is the time when we need people most, not the other way around. We don't want people running out on us when someone close has just passed away. We need hugs. We need support. We need people. But in Melody's case, she got none of those things from her boyfriend of just over one year. "I was really close with my cousin, we were like sisters more than cousins, so when she passed, I was broken on so many levels," Melody tells us. Her depression lasted for three months during which her boyfriend, at the time, said that she was taking things too far. "He said that I was faking and that he couldn't be with someone who let their emotions get the best of them and that I was weak, so he broke up with me," Melody confesses. It was the hardest year of her life, she says, but she made it through and is glad that he let her go so she could find the man of her dreams to whom she is now happily married.

3 Via a flower delivery service

We love getting flowers. We feel special, we feel wanted, we feel remembered. Flowers are like sisters. Women are flowers. Alison is also a flower-lover, like most of us, and although she's rarely received flowers in her lifetime, the moments when she has gotten them have been unforgettable. "It was a normal work day and it wasn't close to any holiday or my birthday, so when the secretary came to me to say I had a delivery, I was confused and thought for sure she had confused me with another employee who has the same last name," Alison tells us. But Alison was wrong. The flowers were for her. Upon opening the card, she was devastated. The card read, Thanks for the memories, it's been great. All the best to you in your future endeavors. She didn't dare share the card with anyone else, but weeks later girls at the office were still talking about how lucky Alison was to have such a thoughtful boyfriend. "It got so bad that I had to actually tell them that they were a break-up bouquet," Alison confesses.

2 Written on a receipt

Hema wasn't really into dating for years, but when this one guy came along, she knew she had been hit by Cupid's arrow. "I saw him and from the moment he opened his mouth, I knew I had to get to know him," Hema tells us. So they started dating and things were going rather well. She says they weren't exactly exclusive, but he was very touchy-feely and shared his feelings with her which led her to believe that he was reciprocating some of her feelings. "He was cool and relaxed about everything and I thought that's how love goes because I hadn't had much experience with guys," Hema admits. Almost a year into the relationship, Hema got a rude awakening. After meeting for coffee, he left for work, and Hema stayed at the café working on some last minute details of a project. "When I went to chuck the tray into the bin, I saw his handwriting on the receipt and upon further investigation saw that he had written, 'Please, don't call me anymore, I've moved on,'" she confesses. Hema's first heartbreak was cruel, but she'll grow from it, we're sure of it.

1 By a note on the mirror

Samantha is no stranger to a break-up. She has been on both ends and knows the pain that comes with break-ups far too well. "I have been a sucker for love since I don't know when, so I guess that's why I have been in love so many times, but a loser in love, too," Samantha admits. When Samantha started dating a new guy who she suspected might be the one, she was apprehensive, but equally open. "I didn't want to get my heart broken again and although I knew it was a possibility, I decided to fall anyways," she tells us. Thankfully, they had only been dating for a few weeks, but Samantha says he didn't have the courage to tell her to her face. "He was a real jerk about it, he wrote on my bathroom mirror in my favorite lipstick, 'It's over. Goodbye and good luck,'" she confesses. That is taking coward to a whole new level. Samantha didn't bother to call or contact him, she left things as they were and continued to enjoy life despite everything. Good for you, Samantha.
