We all go through it at some point in our lives. Some of you are probably going through it now. Break-ups. They definitly suck, they are hurtful and leave us feeling lonely. I myself am married now but I have had my fair share pf break-ups in my lifetime. I think they worst part about break-ups is they seem to bring out the worst in us. Saying nasty things that we eitehr don't mean, or would at least normally have enough sense to not verbalize. I have been on the receiveing end of this attack of insults a few times in my life. My question for you today is, what is the meanest thing anyone has ever said to you or called you in a break-up. For me I would probably say it was during abreak-upfrom a very short lived relationship, where the a$$hole, err I mean the guy, called me a lap-dog and a peon, a word which I didn't even know the meaning of at the time, but later looked up to see what I had been called. So please share with me the nastiness that people have thrown at your during breakups.

I'll post a few from the harpy serpent medusa witches I've had the displeasure of knowing. My current responses in parenthesis "You're just too ugly, I'm sorry." (Whatever. Wait till you're 40, both pants size and age.) "It's not you, I just wouldn't want to be seen in public with you." (In 10 years guys will feel the same about you) "You're nice but just not worth it." (Other way around.) "Well he's better looking than you, so...!" (I bet he has Hep B, Herpes and Chlamydia so have fun with your boy toy. Boy toy, she cheated on me... I'd be careful if I was you...) "I just have a certain dating standard."[I saw her the next week with a pretty empty clown] (Blond hair, 6ft +, blue eyes. Whatever.) "You're so mean! I just want him closeby, why'd you do this to us!? $@#^%! I hate you! I hope you die alone!"[After I caught another cheater] (Feeling is more than mutual. Keep cheating and you certainly will die alone.) "Its just...you are so sickening to look at."(Fine. You're so sickening to be with.)

Wow, you have really had some bad luck in the personalities of your dating choices huh? Were each of those comments from a different girl? I feel I must ask, do you think maybe you are going for the wrong type? If they are ALL acting like this towards you I think maybe you are choosing them based on something other than thier perosnalities because they all sound awfully mean.

They are good pretenders. Plus its hard to discern since I've dated and been with a variety of people. Yes those are comments from different "women".

When my first husband and I were having problems he said something that I still cant forget and it has been 25 years since it happened. He gave me an Anniversary card and said you wouldnt believe how hard it is to find one of these cards that doesnt say love in it. I knew right then that there was no way we were going to be able to work things out. I cant believe that it still bothers me,but it does.

the meanest I was told were not even words. just a nod that really tore my heart apart. he was my first love and I loved him dearly but I am not a martyr that's why the moment i've heard that he was planning to court one my friends (what a pitiful azzhole), I confronted him hoping that he would deny it but he didn't. when he asked me why were we breaking up, I told him "so that you can court her". I was hoping he was going to vehemently deny it but all he gave me was that heart-breaking nod. the world shattered around me and god knows how many pails of tears i'd cried. ^__^;; I will never forget that saddest event of my lovelife.

hey Nykke.. i love your discussion.. it's true.. break-up hurts a lot.. i had not been insulted as you were..but i was lied by the guy(which i hate the most!!).. he was very silly that he gave an absurd reason that his dad doesn't like me!! he told that his dad wants to marry the one whom he suggests.. but that guy actually had 2 affairs after leaving me.. hope his dad was not bothered about tht!! these boys give some silly reasons to change their girl friends!

I had a friend in college who was very religious. She thought she had met the perfect guy who lied like he was a religious person as well. She ended up losing her virginity to him and he turned out to be a frat guy who broke up with her by telling her that he had a dream and the Lord said that they shouldn't be together, or some stuff like that. Now is that not cruel or what? He was a butthole for that one.

That is terrible. I hope she is able to get over it. One of the worst things a person can do is trick another person into compromising thier values for them.

yes, she was able to get through it, she was a very strong lady and i think it changed her for the better and made her learn to be less naive in the future.

Hrmm I lucky don't remember all the nasty words! What I do remember is when an ex of mine turned around out of nowhere and said "well... well.... you're just a wanna-be yuppie..." and he thought this would upset me but instead I thought it was really funny and laughed so hard I got the hiccups which I thought was also funny and I had tears from laughing running down my face. He was so taken aback by my response to his supposed meany thing to say that he didn't know what to say next and just backed away from me and walked out and I never saw him again. Think he thought I had lost it - but it was really funny... me a wanna-be yuppie.... ha!

Well that is pretty funny, annd pretty stupid on his part. That isn't even really an insult. This is the definition of the word yuppie on wikipedia: Yuppies (young urban professionals, or less commonly young upwardly-mobile professionals[1]) is a market segment whose consumers are characterized as self-reliant, financially secure individualists.[2] Since the late 1980s, the phrase affluent professionals has been used as a synonym, stripped of negative associations with the once-homogenous market.[3]

No no. It's funy. Because what he basically said to you ws that he wanted to break up because you are too successful, or that you want to be successful. If I were you I would call him up some day after you buy yourself a new car or something nice and tell him "Well Baby I finally reached my goal, I'm a yuppie now!"

i have had a few breakups they arent very nice at all... the guy has said few nasty things to me, such as: well not exactly my type of b..ch.... and i thought excuse im not a bit.. to start off with. another guy said to me.. your not really meeting my expectations, but he turned around and told me a friend of mine was... then i found out they had been seeing either other behind my back, so she wasnt a true friend either.

Well......I think he must have been confused about who he was talking to when he called you that because it's obvious that your so called friend is the b!tch.

I must say its a very good discussion nykkee. I was also at the receiving end. I can't say that it was a relationship of love completely. He was once my friend. Its he who poroposed me. I declined as he already had a GF he told me although i knew they were having problem and will break up. After he told they broke up, he only proposed me. But I knew he can never keep away from her. So I knew it was just not real love. After that I declined and wanted to be good friends, we were initially OK. After I moved to a diff city, he kept contact to minimal and avoided me. Recently he abused me saying nasty words and even threatened me. At last when I told I will take action, he sent SMS saying sorry, forgive me. But lets not be in touch. I don't know why he behaved in this bad way. May be he was just fulfilling his own advantages.

I had a friend like that before too. I was never interested in him that way, and I never led him on, I always made it very clear that I just wanted to be friends, and he always had girlfriends so I didn't feel bad, it's not like he was all alone waiting for me to like him or something. Anyway, when I met my husband he got really wierd. He would still talk to me for a while leading up to the wedding, but one day he asked me how long I thought I would be married for, "Umm, forever." after that he got wierd and I just couldn't be bothered trying to talk to him anymore because sometimes he was okay, but most of the time he was either nasty or just wierd, pretending he didn't know me and stuff. I just removed him from my MSN list and said "Whatever".

Forever bye, and you can dry the tears with the black cloth. I have to say that it is very hurtful.

its plain and simple... well i guess the meanest thing a guy ever said during break up is " i have spent my last penny on you, you jerk!" ...or counting all the money he had spent while you were on....

Well if he was that focused on what he was spending then he obviously wasn't focused enough on the relationship, so he was a waste of your time anyhow.

I once had an ex scream at me that I was his biggest regret in life, during a really ugly break up!! That hurt a lot as it was a pretty serious relationship. The ugliness passed though and now we are amazingly close friends and though we still have days where we say mean things to one another, we always forgive and move on.
