Soxy Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) I went with apathy. Although I guess it depends who you're talkign too. Relocation is probably the saddest for both. But I think apathy is the worst for the one getting dumped. Because then there's no way to thinking they still care about you. . . EDIT: Although I think that "running out of beer" is going to be the run away winner here. . . Edited November 27, 2005 by Soxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I can not fathom running out of beer. It would be a fate worse than bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxySoxGirl Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Cheating definitely, because while they could just break up with you and just be honest they need to be greedy and be with more than one person and rub in the pain. Apathy a very close 2nd...it sucks to know they don't care or at least put on a hell of show to act like it.

Mercy! Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hmm. Just us five sensitive souls with the guts to post on this topic? Wait, now that I look, though, I see Tex is trying to fly under the radar with nothing but a darn smiley. Make that four sensitive souls. I’m not sure what you meant, exactly, so I responded about the worst way to end a relationship. I punched “unrequited love” but that really wasn’t what I meant. The absolute worst is when you get dumped suddenly and you never discover why. You know, the fast, clean break and you never talk to the person after that. I still remember that bastard’s name! And there were nice ones after him whose names I’ve totally forgotten. I can laugh now. But at the time…………… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Elie Wiesel: The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference. Apathy creeps up, soon you have a friend where once there was a lover. Soon you have a stranger and without an strong emotions to drive the relationship, it dies like a tropical storm over cold water. That to me is the saddest. To end not in a final fireworks display, a catharsis of sorts, it ends with a whimper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 You sheltered lucky souls have all had it too easy if you were able to so easily pigeonhole one of these choices as the worst. Until you have been on the losing end of a long-term relationship gone bad, in which apathy leads to unrequite and also infidelity, then you are all rank amateurs in the world of bad relationships. So put me down for the apathy/unrequite/infidelity trifecta. And for kicks, throw in the shame of having subjugated self for the supposed betterment of the whole for so many years that when it finally does come crashing down you've forgotten who you used to be and what you once thought was important. Still bitter after 14 years? Who, me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Seeing as how I was The Heartbreaker in every single previous relationship I ever had, I feel like I'm ineligible to participate in this Misery Circus. ....I voted "cheating partner".....that little $%#@&......although in another relationship I WAS the little $%#@&.....so I guess life evens it all out in the end......

You're hoping he introduces you to Hanoi Jane. I am much sadder that George stopped sending out emails. I always looked forward to reading his. I was never a Fonda fan. I thought her anti-war activities were distasteful, and way closer to treason that I'm comfortable with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I have, and of course if I had somehow worked things out with the alien fiend dressed in human skin 14 years ago I wouldn't be where i am with my wife and kida now. All of whom appear to be keepers at the moment. But I think it's good to keep some small bit of the bitterness over the failed ones too, even if only to empathize with others and give a point of reference.

thedoctor Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 flasoxxjim summed it up pretty much perfectly for me, although i will have to say that cheating sucks horribly. i was recently divorced and the divorce part of it was OK. it was for the best. i wasn't happy about it per se, but i do think that if we just got divorced and went on our way we still would have been able to be friends. this is important considering we have a daughter. but she cheated. i confronted her about it when were still married and she denied, denied, denied. when we separated she acknowledged she was "friends" with this guy, but again denied and denied anything else. as soon as we were divorced, she acknowledged they were dating. that's f***ing heartless, imo. the funny thing is, about a year ago she was convinced i was cheating (i wasn't, not even close) and i saw how torn up she got about it. then she turns around and does it. meh.

Mercy! Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hmm. This seems to have evolved into a Marriage Thread. Odd, that natural progression. I sure wish we could do some things to strengthen that sacred bond between a man and a woman. How about a Constitutional Amendment Banning Divorce?
