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?

THE COWARD'S WAY OUT. I THINK.A trans-national affair had stopped then (unwisely) restarted; I liked her but her weight had really got to me. Putting my arm around her one morning in bed my hand couldn't reach the other side of the mattress. it was time to end it but having done it once I was far from happy going through all usual "why" "why" "why" never-ending chat for a second time. Much better to get dumped I thought.
The solution - to pretend to get the day of her birthday wrong and not get on an airplane to visit.
The response and revenge - a phone call from her guilt tripping me, pointing out that she was under a lot of stress as her new business venture was not going well and that I was not helping.
Just as she got to her final words my mobile phone went off with an incoming text - now as background it is necessary to know that her new venture was quite an important and newsworthy event in her country and it was the subject of a on-going reality tv programme.
So as she said to me on the phone - "I don't think this is working, we should end it" my simultaneous mobile text message from her said: "By the way, they are filming this for the documentary."
RESULT - err, I think?
PS I have always imagined the programme that went out (I've never seen it)- the footage of the woman on the telephone with a soft voice over by some sympathetic narrator: "X is finding things stressful following the launch and it is not be helped by her boyfriend forgetting her birthday. She calls him...." Cut to a close up of her telling me off and dumping me. Good for her - made me like her even more; now if only she hadn't been so fat!
