A relationship break-up is never easy even if you are the one to do it. Especially if you still care about the person but the relationship just isn't working.

I too, would rather being the one to be broken up with. It's hard to be a heart breaker unless the situation involves severe circumstances, i.e. domestic violence, drug abuser, alcoholic, etc.
secretagent09: I'd rather he break up with me. If he lies and/or cheats, if he is abusive emotionally and/or physically I won't hesitate to tell him it's over.
The best breakup is when it's mutual, when both parties realize it's not working and each wish the other a happy life ahead.

I have never been in a circumstance like that, thankfully. But in those cases, it is often even more difficult as there is emotional damage, lowered self-confidence and esteem etc.

I haven't either. But maybe it's easier said than done. My ex-husband divorced amicably thank goodness.
I’d rather see you heartbroken than me. If you don’t grasp the nettle youll spend too much time with persons you don’t like just to avoid loneliness.

Bad relationships are good lessons... What's more important than "who did what" is to not repeat the pattern... You can hardly feel sorry for those who complain "I always attract the wrong ones..."...or... "Men/women are all the same"...
Breaking up is hard to do. I think couples should sign a pact before they consummate the communal bedroom. Sign on the dotted line that in the event of a meltdown, 2 months after the event, they will meet to negotiate terms of endearment or sue for separation and peace. I have the pro-forma Word doc, if you need it, email me.
secretagent09: I never doubted that you are a human that makes mistakes the same as the rest of us.
It sounds like you are doubting your decision. I have a recipe for that. Instead of thinking about the good times you shared with her think about the times you had arguments, the times when you fought about silly things when neither of you comprised. Think about the ...I shoulda done this or that. Think about the insults, the absence of phone calls between the two of you etc.
Is she the lady you had a problem with last Friday night? The one who said they would rather meet with high school friends than to see you?
Breaking up is hard to do no matter who does the breaking up and it's one of the many reasons why I don't bother getting into a relationship....it's just too darn painful no matter who does it.

I get that 2intrigued..... you know, you’ve got less than 25k posts on cs threads. i guess the threads have been kind of sloooooow and more humorless lately.
