I'm not sure there is anything worse than the loss of a great love.The sun is setting...your arms are wrapped around the waist of your Prince Charming...you both gallop together on the back of a white horse toward happily-ever-after... Then WHAM! You get flipped off the back and end up on your ass in the dirt with a bruised spirit and and a broken fingernail. And yes, it sucks to get dumped.
But the true judge of a guy's character is to look at HOW he breaks up with you. I got dumped over the phone. Okay...so maybe he's not the confrontational type, but waking me up in the morning to break up with me over the phone from the place where he works--when we LIVED together! I'd say that's a bit more than non-confrontational.
I suppose it could be worse... He could've text paged me, or sent me an email, or shoved a letter up the ass of a carrier pigeon...
I guess the result would be the same. I'd still be left sitting in the middle of my bed, surrounded by snow drifts of tear-soaked Kleenex, eating a jar of hot fudge topping for breakfast.
That's how it all starts on page one of my memoir, "The Break-Up Diet." Stay tuned for the rest of the story...
And I'm curious, tell me, dear readers, what tops YOUR list of the worst way you've ever been dumped?

I can't wait to read this book!
Boy, can I relate! I dated a guy who turned out to be a creep when he dumped me and had his sister tell me he was seeing someone else! I didn't believe her until I saw him with his arm wrapped around his new babe. Talk about young and gullible. For the record, I didn't take him back :-)
Good for you! He obviously didn't deserve to be with you anyway. What a coward. But you mention you were young...so maybe that was as much as he could manage at the time. It would be interesting to see how he is now--if he's still slinking out of relationships. Do they ever change?
I think I'm going to buy 10 of these books and randomly leave them on a few well deserving doorsteps! Must we wait for Valentines day to hear the rest of the story!!!!
The book is available for pre-order now at Amazon.com, but the copies won't ship until the release date of February 14th 2008.
You can subscribe to the blog and get a mini preview. I'm writing little teasers about what happens on each day in the journal entries in the book.
Stay tuned for more!
oh my god, i'm all over this book when it comes out.
i'm also on the break-up diet, for a month or so now..
my ex broke up with me like this: went on a "business trip," hooked up with a woman he met on MySpace, apparentlt fell in love, and chose to break it off with me by just not coming home, until i got the hint and moved out.
he moved his new woman in before i was moved out all the way. it was great.
oh well. 20 lbs down, 20+ to go.
JemimaJoy,
YIKES! What a story! You should go to the Break-Up Story Forum on my website and leave the details of your story there! Go to www.thebreak-updiet.com and scroll down and click on the blue scale to "Weigh In."
Send your girlfriends over there too if they have break-up stories to share. I think the forum will be a blast once I can get the word out about it. So, tell a friend! =)

I used to be with a very sweet, loving and faithful man...or so I thought. After 3 years of being together under one roof, w/o me having the slightest hint, he's been dating a girl while we were together. So that makes 2 of us loving and caring for him at the same time. When I found out about it, I asked the girl to have coffee and we talked about it. The guy chose the other girl. I admit she's much prettier and sexier. That makes it the more hurting.

i sought out for advice and counselling through friends and experts,all effort proved void so i went online,God so kind to me i found a testimony of a spellcaster who had helped a woman to restore her marriage,i contacted him through his email;smartspelltemple@gmail.com.only to find out that our marrige has been spelled by a dark margic from her step-mother,the reason is,she got married to me,not the man she had choose for her to,no matter what we do it will be doom to fail.i asked him to lift the spell to be undone,restore her back to me,he did the unlinking spell and told me that she will be with me in 3days.believe me now cause my wife is back to me,also the most miraculous thing is that she does'nt remember anything that has hasppened,all the hate,rage and anger we felt for each other the past weeks is gone.

Hello Greetings to everyone on this site my name is Rose Johnson from USA but i live in Canberra I got married to my husband about 4 year ago we start having problems at home like we stop sleeping on the same bed, fighting about little things he always comes home late at night, drinking too much and sleeping with other women out side. i have never love any man in my life except him. he is the father of my children and i don't want to loose him because we have worked so hard together to become what we are and have today. few months ago he now decided to leave me and the kids, being a single mother can be hard sometimes and so i have nobody to turn to and i was heart broken. i called my friend and explain every thing to her, And she told me about Great Matatan Spell how he helped her solve the problem between her and her husband i was surprise about it because they have been without each other for five and half years and it was like a miracle how they came back to each other. i was directed to Great Matatan Spell and explain everything to him and i order a love spell from him, so he promise me not to worry that he will cast the spell my husband love me more than ever before and make things come back to how we where so much in love again.Great Matatan Spell told me that my problem will be solved within a day if i believe i said OK. So after the spell is cast, i waited for 24hours my Husband came back house asking me to forgive him. i Am so happy now. so that why i decided to share my experience with every body that have such problem contact him on email: ( matatanspell@yahoo.com )
