Just how hard have you had to work to get someone to take the hint and stay dumped?
(, Thu 5 Jun 2008, 10:33)
This question is now closed.
I've only ever had to really dump someone once and it was appalling!
We'd been seeing each other in my home city for a bout 8 months and then he had to go back home to his home city as he'd been in uni and was finished with his degree. I decided (in my naivety) to see if I could get a job there and so carry on the relationship. God knows why though, he was the messiest hygiene objector ever, wore shoelaces wrapped round his wrists that smelled like wet dog when water got on them and every one of his white shirts had a grey tide mark on it.. ICK!
After about two weeks of looking I found a job in a hospital that offered nurses halls accommodation in the city centre. So I took it up and set a date to move.
Then when I moved to the city and settled the guy changed completely. Became very clingy and got in a huff cos he couldn't stay over (strict rules in my halls and it was £160 a month - didn't wanna take the piss, also he lived MILES away in the stix) so much so I decided to end it. This took a while because I'd obviously just moved to be with him and didn't really know anyone else much.
So I sat him down for "the talk" he cries and he wails and in the end I get the porter to escort/drag him out. Thinking thats that...
OH NO
Over the next few days he calls constantly, the usual. Turns up at work and my halls as well. Generally stalk-a-licious crap!
During this pleasant interlude I'm calling him and emailing telling him to leave me be and so forth... then ignoring it all... I tried it all!
Eventually I gave in and took him back.
Then took him back to mine.. undressed him and told him he actually repulsed me physically. threw his clothes out of my 6th floor window and told him to leave me the hell alone or I'd get a restraining order.
He finally got the message when he turned up to a club I was at and busted me with another guy.. only after starting on the guy and the guy kicking my ex's ass...
I see him from time to time now and he's so bitter you could squeeze him into a good G&T which is incidentally what I need every time I run into him!
Apologies for length - still new to this and need practice at making it shorter!

My new cat is trying to get dumped. She's getting us into trouble with the neighbours. This is what I've just posted on the communal laundry door.
Warning! – Thief In The Area!
Well, cat-burglar to be exact.
I’m afraid our new kitten, Meep, has taken to raiding the laundry shed and stealing socks. Nothing else, just socks. Then she proudly brings them home to me and I return them.
So, if you find that you’re missing more socks than usual, then it’s probably Miss Meep The Cat Burglar to blame. As soon as we find them we return them so you should only be sockless for a couple of hours.
I’ve tried closing the door to the laundry room but I’m afraid she can still sneak under the door. She’s very determined.
We’ve tried talking to her, even threatened to ground her, but she just doesn’t listen. So we’ve decided to feed her up until she’s too fat to get under the door and then your socks will be safe. Until then, there’s a couple of things you can do.
1) Try to make sure your socks aren’t on show.
2) Try to make sure they aren’t balled up – she almost always goes for rolled up socks and not floppy ones.
We apologise for causing all this trouble and we’ll try to break her of this habit as soon as we can. We can only ask for your understanding and blame this on the fact that Meep was abandoned as a kitten and had to feed herself by catching wild socks.
I blame the parents.

I was 15, he was my first boyfriend and my first kiss.
He was at lease a foot shorter than me, wore white pants with a redback spider print on them and went to church. I could pick him up by his ankles and hang him upsidedown.
Needless to say I wasn't hopelessly in love with him, but he was the first boy to ever want to kiss me, so therein lay the attraction.
After about 4 or 5 months of "going out", which consisted of seeing each other about once a month, kissing like it was going out of fashion and me refusing to suck his dick or be fucked by him, he dumped me. By phone.
To my everlasting glory, he cried and I did not. He didn't want to hurt me and I didn't care. (In any case I'd alredy seen the future Mr Kitty and was besotted)
Then, five years later, he died. He committed suicide exactly 5 years after we broke up, to the day. Once again proving that Mr Kitty really is my soulmate, as he is the only boy that I've kissed that hasn't died.
(BTW, my running total is 3 dead of 3 kissed before Mr Kitty, only works with boys for some reason)

it's funny the things we'll do to make ourselves not feel like total c-nuts.
But in the end, it doesn't matter how you set it up to fall apart - your true feelings will be expressed.
She happened to be a love of mine, and she was going to be the one i would spend the rest of my life (thanks, you selfish self-centred cuntdamn whore). But that disastrous breakup is for another QOTW, and all that is important is that i was leaving a steady 4 year relationship for that one.
So, in leaving my then girlfriend i began a gradual stepback initiative, which sparked off in a way Rube Goldberg would be impressed.
I reclaimed money i was owed.
I quietly removed my stuff from her house.
I became passive aggressive.
I became distant and disconcerting.
I began to not text back.
I began to not pick up the phone.
I made plans without her.
I went on holiday without telling her.
I generally encouraged my friends to cold-shoulder her.
Eventually, things came to a head. And she started the conversation in the pub. I knocked back my scotch (and a Tomatin 12 at that) and we walked home.
I told her we'd grown apart. It was me, not her. We just weren't meant for each other.
And after all hints, she still bothered me. Cried a little. And i lost the rag.
"I'm not even sorry. I've never loved you."
Her innocence shed the moment i said that; she turned on heel and slammed the door. We haven't spoken for 2 years.
And now? Karma has a way of having the last laugh. I'm losing the girl that's making my life worthwhile in the same bloody way. Such is life, i suppose.

In my defense I have just got in from the pub. Also my cat is interfering with my keyboard.
Anyways, stream of consciousness nonsense will ensue:
My one significant relationship lasted six years, and most of it was pretty awesome. Towards the end things started going tits up, and I seriously considered trying to instigate my own dumping, but when it came down to it I loved her and she deserved my honesty. The things I said prompted her to go for counselling, from which she returned with the opinion that I was "a useless fucking waste of space"*, so that worked out well. If I had the chance I'd do it exactly the same though, as she remains one of my best friends.
Since then, however, I've discovered how easy it is to be cunt. Not too long ago I hooked up with a stunning young lady, but for various reasons things were not going to last. When we got together she was intending to move fairly far away, and I was expecting things to fizzle out when she did - she had different ideas however. I was pretty keen (although sadly not quite keen enough) and didn't want to hurt her, so I was congratulating myself on my technically-true-but-actually-misleading answers to her questions - Do you want to see me next time I'm in London? Of course I do! I like you a lot... Worst of all, after not seeing her for several months and not speaking to her for several weeks, she caught up with me just before Christmas and asked me flat out where I saw us going - and I pitched an emo fit. We still talk, but not often, and I know she deserved a hell of a lot better from me.
When I started this post there was a point, but I'm fucked if I can remember it now. Sorry 'bout that.

Her: "No! Do tell me. Is it Claudia Schiffer?"
Vimes: "no. My sister."

To get someone to stop asking me out (I still feel bad for this) I told them I was a HEROIN ADDICT!
This guy was very religious muslim as well, who didn't drink alcohol let alone class A drugs...
... so I followed that up with I was head over heels in love with drugs and no person could ever hope to compare to the "high" I even went as far as to say that I knew I could trust him not to see me differently due to my "drug struggle" and that I was "on the wagon now" and couldn't wait to meet his family who I was "sure would be accepting of me"! (That and my so-called bisexuality came into the conversation, that and the "voices" I heard in my head on a daily basis yelling at me to do things...)
I couldn't stop. I wanted this guy out of the picture and still remember him looking very appalled and edging away...
It worked, he fucked right off. Refuses to talk to me now.

it was meant to be just a shag, a one night only affair. but she didnt see it like that
a night of rough outdoor sex (she was good though) then walking 4 miles to my mates house for more booze, then back for more outdoor sex (which i turned down, brewers droop and heavy moshing dont help).
resulted in said girl thinking i was marrying her for "using her" (as i recall she was the one who unbuttoned me)
and treating her disrepectfully.
luckilly new girl (called DD)was on the scene the day after.
it took 4 weeks to sort but eventually she thought i was boinking DD, which never happened but she liked getting caught out
she still stalks me on the odd occasions and tries to add me to her facebook and even found my old house address and mobile number on my websites whois entry
i am guesing she still has as montage of me up in her bedroom walls

I went out with this girl, shagged her after 2 days then got bored. She was into self harm and stuff, so rather than lower her confidence I said I was gay.
Next week she saw me in a graveyard with another girl, hiding underneath one of those tye dyed sheets.
Being the confident young squeak I was I didn't care if people thought I was gay or not. I didn't expect some people to still believe it 4 years later though.

Oh, woe me, the pain of being horribly mistaken in a person's ulterior motives, for I can only guess what was going on in her mind.
Let's flashback to a long time ago. (actually, a few weeks, but I'm getting off topic here)
My fiancee lives in England, I live in the Netherlands, now I have heard all the arguments against a long distance relationship but I believed in it, I really did, or do. Nevertheless, let's get on with the story.
So she told me she was going to the hospital because she had a hole in her heart, you know the kind where blood can flow between the Atrium and the Ventricle, obviously in the wrong direction.
She told me she would be okay, but only after I asked her to promise that to me. And she did.
Two agonizing weeks passed, I was unaware of what had happened, whether she was alive or dead, her phone didn't ring, my mails were left unanswered, until one day, when her phone rang again. I was relieved, it was a sign that she had survived. So I tried ringing her until somebody would pick up.
Somebody picked up, this somebody being her ex, who told me that my fiancee didn't want to talk to me.
After the rumour mill got wind of this, pieces of the puzzle started pouring in, and only now am I becoming aware that she was engaged to her ex while also being engaged to me, and I have come to believe that this hospital visit was nothing more than a way to get rid of me.
So yeah, faking a possibly fatal heart condition to get out of a situation... Ouch.
Oh, and this is my first post, please be gentle.

Years ago my first ever serious relationship ended when my ex moved to Spain. We'd been seeing each other for about four years and agreed that when she moved out there we'd carry on seeing each other. She was only going for a year so we reckoned it was do-able. After a few months of going out to Madrid she invited me out to see her only to dump me on the first night. And then tell me I could stay four the rest of the week we'd originally planned if I slept on the spare mattress next to her bed. I was on the very next flight home.
A few years ago a Slovak girl I'd been seeing for about six months invited me out to Bratislava and did exactly the same.

London, it is so over between us. You used to be exotic and alluring, with the bright lights, clubs and concerts. Then I got to know you a bit better, and realised that it wasn't always this good. Since then, our relationship has been going downhill; I'm struggling to remember the good times, and only seem able to focus on the crime, local chav community, awful pollution and traffic, and sheer expense of being with you.
My house has been broken into, my computer stolen, my friends attacked, my bank account raped and my health damaged.
I'll probably regret what I'm doing a bit, and miss you at first, but I'm utterly convinced that in the long run, this is the right course to take.
I'm sorry to put you through this, but you'll be alright. You'll cope without me; you always have. Some new girl will come along with the joy of moving to the big city in her eyes, and you'll have good times with her instead of me. Honestly, I don't mind.
I think I've always known that things were a bit wrong, but this feeling of discontent has been growing within me for quite a long time. I think it all came to a head this week, when some spotty little oik tried to steal my bike from Victoria Station (and do Network Rail give a toss? Do they my arse), I developed a heinous mouth/throat infection due to cycling in traffic fumes every day, and I saw the crazy Kennington man this afternoon, sitting outside of the cafe with his cock hanging out.
To be honest though, these are all small things. Insignificant compared to the most important reason we can't be together any more. Some mouth-breathing insanity-mongers elected Boris Johnson as Mayor. I can't live with people who think like that. Really I can't.
London, as of now, I am looking for somewhere new to live. We'll see each other again, I have no doubt. But just as friends, for gigs and museums and stuff (you always did get amazing line-ups at gigs). But as we are now, we're finished.
Goodbye.
