What's the hardest you've tried to get dumped?Groovypoodle writes, "My mate once told his girlfriend that he didn't think it was working only for her to laugh and tell him he was hilarious. Saying she was 'too weird' and 'slightly violent' and that he didn't like her was equally hilarious. Ripping off her wing mirror, throwing it through the windscreen
and storming off in a huff merely generated an apology from her a week later..."
Just how hard have you had to work to get someone to take the hint and stay dumped?

Not my finest hourTwo years later (I know, a bit pathetic really) I finally found the confidence to “get back on the market” and wound up with someone 7 years my senior, the sex was amazing and we were at it like rutting rhinos for 3 solid months. Now the nicest thing you could say about the “relationship” was it was a lot of shagging with a fringe of conversation.
We had bugger all in common and outside the bedroom (I don’t mean to be nasty)she was one of the most tedious people I’d ever met. To make matters worse I had been told by a mutual friend that she thought she was falling in love with me, the feelings were not mutual. I therefore decided I had to do the honourable thing and end things before she got really hurt; however I’d never had to dump anyone before and didn’t know where to start. After some initial weeks of dithering on my part, I found myself on the receiving end of some threatening behavior from her ex.
I’m not proud of what I did, but with an “easy” way out in front of me I took it. She phoned me to apologise again and I told her I didn’t think I could cope with constant threats from her ex and thought we should end things. To be fair after a little pleading she seemed to finally accept it, wished me well and rang off.
Stupidly, I then decided to text my drinking partner (who had been in the loop) to tell him what had happened. Unfortunately, as I had been in the habit of texting one particular person for three months, I sent said message on ‘autopilot’. You can probably imagine her response to something along the lines of:
“THANK GOD FOR THAT, I’VE FINALLY DONE IT, FANCY A BEER?”
Now I guess I could have not answered her call and I probably didn’t need to go to her flat to explain myself; In retrospect I probably should’ve ignored the call and gone to the pub like I’d planned. I definitely shouldn’t have spent two and a half hours of my life dumping her all over again, this time explaining it was “me not her” and using every other tired cliché you can think of before she would accept an alternative explanation to the issue of her ex.
She still vainly tried to contact me for a while after, phone calls, turning up where I was, etc. but strangely I found ignoring her got far better results…
