Have you ever had a hard time ending a relationship?

I have. It was hard for me to end it with my ex. But was for mt son. I stayed 2 years to many.

Yes, I have been there and it takes me more than a year or maybe 2 years to moved on. It's not easy to end a relationship wherein from the start you believed is like a fairy tale come true. but this is life- a lot of reality that we must face in the long run.

Before I met my husband I had 3 different long term relationships. Two of those boyfriends broke up with me and I ended the last relationship. It was very hard for me to end that relationship. We had been together for several years and we had many memories together, but my ex-boyfriend lied a lot and that was one of the reasons why I decided to break up with him. I couldn't trust the things that he told me and he always made up stories. He was also very irresponsible with money and he borrowed money from me and from his friends all the time and he always "forgot" to return the money. I was tired of all the arguments that we had and I decided to end the relationship, but it was not an easy decision.

There is just no easy way to break somebody's heart...so as one of the songs in the 80's.... And no matter how aware you are that you really have to end it for everybody's sake, it would surely drive you insane. been there done that....

I have two relationships with different guys before i got married. unfortunately,they first said ending the relationship with me not me. it's really hard for me to end it as when they said end,i still love them. my first one is my puppy love,we've been together for almost 4 yrs,everyone objected we together,i knew he's a bad guy and had nothing in common with me,but i still like him. i still called him everyday when we ended,calling has became a habit to me and it's just hard to change it,however,he's angry everytime when he picked up my phone and speaked something to hurt me. the second boyfriend asked to end relationship to me when i lost my job,at that time,i was stayed at his city,that lonelyness,hopelessness feeling really can kill me.i tried to be together with him again but he just refused,after three months,i moved to my city.those experiences are just like the nightmare to me.i donot want to talk about it for such a long time. but thanksfully,i met my mr right and got married now.

I was destroyed when I lost my first girlfriend we were so inlove. She had to move over seas and I cried for months about it.

Oh yeah!!! I think ending a relationship is one of the most painful thing that happens to most human beings. Some just call it done but oftentimes even though one sees it coming, it still is hard when the real estrangement happens. To me, I just could not fathom why it had to end. I could not accept the reasons given to me by my x. I felt strange things happening tonme. I sometimes felt so angry with her or feeling so guilty of the things I should have not done to her thru the years. Then I would come back to my rationale and started writing to her, to win her back. People around me tried there best to console me. After all the years we had been together, we had come to have the same set of friends and this was even crazier. There were two factions, making the situation even more complicated. Good thing I was not working in my country then so I could easily escape from everyone and be by myself. I travelled while I was in a foreign land. I didn't plan to find people to share my feelings with or to make friends. I just wanted to be alone in an island, on a mountain and in the sea. After all those travels, I just had been able to befriend one person. I think my aura did shoo away people. If I would eat in a restaurant, I would be staring at nothing. If I was in a coffee shop, I was reading. On the beach I was just lying down with a dark pair of glasses covering my eyes. I had this sad unwelcoming atmosphere. It took time for me to finally realize how it felt good that we were not together anymore. We also started talking and went on to be best friends. It's been a while since the broke up and now that I think about what I have gone thru, I am so sure that it did change me to become a wiser person. To get hit right into the center of the heart is the way to experience the best and worst of what we call, life!:) of what we call life!:)

It was hard for me to end a relationship I had with someone many years ago now. He started to become stalker/creepy type. But at the same time I felt bad for breaking up with him, I don't like to hurt anyone...

Fortunately, I haven't... but that's because I have my first and (ideally) last boyfriend now. I was almost 23 when I found him, so I know what it would be like to lose him, that's why I try to give as much into the relationship as I can.

It was definitely hard, especially when we've been in a relationship for almost 6 years and were about to get married. I don't want to say anything negative about him because he was really a good person, it's just that we weren't meeting eye to eye anymore. We have different beliefs and priorities, and eventually even other people could tell that perhaps we're just being dragged into staying together because of the length of time we were in the relationship. It's not healthy. When I said it's over, it felt like I pulled something out of my heart; it hurt a lot because it was there for such a long time it became too familiar, but it was just right because it didn't fit and was never meant to be. I was miserable after the breakup, and I even doubted if I made the right decision. Then I just prayed that his heart would mend and he gets to be happy and love again. I haven't seen him after we broke up, and it's been almost 3 years now. I saw his pictures in facebook thru our common friends and he's already with someone else. He seemed happy, perhaps even happier. I'm not with anyone right now, but I'm also happy. I'm glad I didn't agree to push through with our wedding since I was uncertain and unhappy anyways, and saved ourselves from future misery.

Ending a relationship will always be difficult. There are so many things and memories shared together and letting go of that can be painful. But there are reasons why the relationship has to end and though it is difficult, some just have to put an end to it and move on and learn from the mistakes.

relationships end for a variety of reasons. falling out of love with the partner is the most common. some also end relationships because of family objections, getting cheated or abused by their partners. whatever the reason may be, it always hurts saying goodbye to someone who has been a part of our lives. it's like you have to let go of a part of yourself.
