The ones l didn't initiate!

In terms of relationships and dating I have done the breaking up.... in terms of talking and going to date I would say a guy just ghosting or disappearing is annoying or a first date where a guy treated me like I had some contagious disease and kept a firm distance on the subway as we went home were the worst. I know it's not what you asked but still wanted to contribute something! heh

Two options to pick from:

My ex-wife left me two weeks after I got a vasectomy for our five year anniversary - she'd had some psychological issues around having children and just generally, so I thought she'd be much happier if I did the deed. She was - happy enough to realize she couldn't be happy with me anymore.

The second option was a sub I had who conned me out of $40K of my life savings (not too long after the divorce), and cheated on me with another man...in the same hotel room I was staying in, while I was present, after I asked her not to. I now have PTSD, particularly bad flashbacks, and have been ostracized from a giant group of friends we shared in gaming, because they believed she could do no wrong.

I've only had one break up ever so, obviously, it's the worst one. While it has been painful, continuously so, it's also been extremely easy compared to some I've witnessed. My [ex]wife (still legally married) and I still live together but considered ourselves separated. She is currently dating and I am here.

We decided to do it this way to keep our home together for our boys. Being in the same house day in and day out has been the hard part, constantly being reminded of what was lost.

We started dating in high school, moved in together immediately after high school, and got married six years later. We were married for just over ten years when we decided to separate two years ago.
