Have you ever had a "mature" break-up?

Question

Like in the movies, when someone says they want to break-up for whatever reason, and the other person completely understands that nothing they do can change the other person's mind and the best thing to do is say goodbye and walk away on good terms?

Anyone ever experienced this kind of break-up? Or is your romantic life just a slideshow of angry, violent, tear-filled and heart-wrenching break-ups?

Answer 1

Never. They have all been dramas. Sigh. That's why I am determined to just live alone and be sad. :(

Answer 2

I had this experience. A 5-year relationship ended very suddenly one day when I came home and he broke it off, saying our lives are just going in two different directions. We always had a good friendship and respect for each other, so I took it as graciously as possible, knowing that his mind was made up and I could never change it. We hugged, he left, then I fell apart, but never in front of him. That was over two years ago, and we're still good friends. There wasn't even any fighting over property or posessions. That doesn't happen every day!

Answer 3

yup I dated this guy for 6 years we even had a kid together we tried to make it work for her but it wouldn't work.He didn't want to grow up and I wanted things he wasn't interested in.So one day I kindly informed him that it was over and I was leaving.He said nothing and still to this day hasn't.Sometimes you just grow apart and you have to be able to see it to be able to part on good terms.

Answer 4

all the time....women seem to enjoy leaving me.

Answer 5
