Has Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend Ever Done A Runner?

No, I have not had that happen, but being a woman I have done that in one marriage and one live-in relationship, both were heavy drinkers and did not remember that I told them I was done and that I wanted out, and both times they can't remember that I said that after I was gone!

I have never done that or had that done to me..but I have heard of stories where this was done. I think it is very sad..for both parties..the one left behind and dumped i.e the dumpee in this case and the dumper, who was not brave enough to face the problems head on or had so many psychological traumas that they could not function in a rational manner..What can one say Wolfie? This is a tragic situation..any heartbreak is tragic..I have had my heart broken and know what rejection is all about..

No I've never done this myself or had that happen to me but I am a one woman bloke and love my wife to bits...although there are times I would like to do a runner when she has the frying pan in her hand or the rolling pin!!

Well, no, I've never had that done to me, nor have I ever done it to anyone. I think it is very cowardly to walk out on someone who has shared your life, without even having the guts to look them in the eye, and tell them face to face that the relationship was over. The only exception I can think of, is if physical, domestic violence was involved, and then I can understand someone just "disappearing" while their abusive partner is at work or something, and running to a "safe house", because they fear bad violence if they try and tell them face to face.

Not quite had that done, but think it would have been a bit better if it had happened in a single blow like that, my ex started taking his clothes and bits and pieces out weeks before he told me he was going and I never noticed until I had that wonderful thing of hindsight. When he finally went he clained he did it that way so I didn't have to sort his stuff out, how considerate hey. I was pregnant with his son at the time, he left no contact details at all and we haven't seen him since. Might be harsh but in the long run I think that its turned out for the best and had clean break and have got on with my life...certainly didn't feel like that at the time though!

Yes, I have experienced that before, although at time I am ashamed to admit it…lol..I was with my boyfriend for three years. We were planning to get married, had a son together and I thought he was “the one” ! We had our problems, but I never thought that he would run away! He was working as a beach boy for the three years and came home every payday with his check signed and ready to give me each time. But then things began to change, he would come home and give me half of the money about two years after the relationship. I always questioned him but he told me that he had credit at the beach that he had to payoff. Needless to say it was in fact credit, not at his work though… He was seeing a Japanese woman who worked a few counters away from him and he was using the money to layaway plane tickets to Japan. I dropped him to work one morning and went to pick him up at 5:30pm, to my surprise he wasn’t there! No one would tell me anything, so then I just went home and assumed that he was with his friends. At a little after midnight that night, I received a call from him telling me that he was in Japan! He kept saying that he was sorry but he has fallen in love with some one else! I honestly though he was joking, because his cloths and other personal belongings were still with me. But I wouldn’t be so lucky! He did leave, he didn’t take anything with him but his id’s and passport. It’s a sad but true story!

Nope I haven't but I have to admit I wish he would have done it would saved a lot of Grieve that I went through with my Divorce

No I have no any exerpence of this kind.

oh no, and if that happened to me I would be crushed. That is a really horrible way to get dumped. I would hate to think that someone disliked me that much to not even care to break up face to face,

I almost had this happen. My now exhusband was packing when I walked in on him. He had cheated on me but he hadn't moved out yet and we hadn't discussed it since we were purchasing the place on contract and we were both on it, but neither of us could afford the payment alone. His major mistake was not going to work that day. The idiot worked with my dad, so my dad called me wanting to know why he wasn't at work that day. As far as I knew he was at work and when I called home I got the machine. I drove home and he was jamming to the radio, packing stuff. I was NOT happy. I finished his packing for him, in about 5 minutes time, and tossed it into the yard. I ended up losing the house since he left and didn't pay any of the bills before he left and I couldn't afford it alone. He was buddy/buddy with the landlord and told him to take his name off of the contract because I was going to be taking care of it alone from then on. The jerk did it, too! My attorney ended up taking care of it, but the landlord was coming to my job complaining about the payments and such and he refused to go after my ex because he told him I was taking care of it. Luckily it was my second job and my parents owned the place (my mom happened to be there at the time and kicked him off of her property and place of business) or I would have gotten fired since he started verbally attacking me in front of customers. I was even more humiliated by that than my husband cheating on me. Twice. Found out about both of them at the same time, on accident, on his part. He accidently told on himself. He wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, obviously. Anyway, I'm rambling. So, my answer to your question is yes and no. :)

No one has ever done that to me Wolfie. I have been told that they wanted to end it, but not ran from me. I, on the other hand have ran away from situation. I hate confrontations so I just run then send a note later.

No that hasn't happened to me Sweets! When I was still married to my ex I used to hope and pray that it would happen but it never did! Oh well - maybe if I don't stop being a crab his nibs will disappear one day - though I hope not! xxx

I have had that done. He was an acoholic. I was stupid enough to believe he quit drinking and let him come back. By the end of the week he had started drinking again & got even more abusive than he was before he stopped. He found himself moved out one day. He was not abusive when he was sober or I would have never let him come back.

Hi no not experiance that, and never done it to any of my partners either. Yes obviously iv broken up with me ex's but they have always been amicable break ups where we have either grown apart or I decided to move far

I have just to a failed relationship, I guess the girl has some emotional problems before and the she's just too soft to hold on our relationship. She left me, even made the worst come out from me. I was depressed for that time, but later on realized that she's not worth for me to grieve at all. My friends helped me make through it, as I have now moved on to all the pains and miseries she's caused me. I think it was only me, who really loved the relationship we had. I was deceived by all those good things she says about me, as I thought all of it was true..

no that has never been done to me though I have though about doing it but I guess I would pack then wait till he gets home and leave in his presence unless he is violent then he wont see me

I haven't had it done to me (yet) but I have done it to others. When I did it, it was because I found out they were having an affair or being abusive. I don't tolerate that crap.

Wow, that sounds terrible. Can't say that's ever happened to me.

Well this is a question for those who have ever had a chance to get a girl or boyfriend. i have not yet got into the relationship yet. iam seriously looking for one and pray not to experience this in anyway.

Haven't had this happen but sometimes I kind of wish I would be so fortunate that it could happen. But I'm sure I would regret it if it had happened.
