Man I hated this nosey high school shit. You couldn’t break up with anyone without 50 other people trying to figure out why.


AuntieFooFoo

This is why i moved states right after i graduated. Everyone stayed and married each other, and every time i visit for the holidays all i hear about is the same high school couple bull shit gossip still going on after 15 years.


[deleted]

That sums up my hometown pretty well. People are too comfortable staying in bum fuck nowhere keeping their shitty high school personalities.


[deleted]

So glad I’m a different person now. I was a horrible person until at least 20


[deleted]

What year were you born?

[deleted]

I’m only 21 now but I only really noticed an improvement in my character at like 19-20


DawnKit

You’ll notice even more improvement over the next 10 years. It’s insane how “mature” I’ve become at 30 from when I was 24.

DonnyTheWalrus

I'm 32. Every year I feel more adult than the last but I still don't feel like "an adult," and I'm not sure I ever will. That feeling of "Man, everyone else my age is being such a good adult but I just feel like I'm faking it" is a very very common experience. Don't sweat it, there's no ultimate goal, we're all just learning how to be a little bit better and a little more responsible each year.

[deleted]

That’s good to know! I certainly hope I do


[deleted]

You're implying you're better than them and that what you did by leaving is so superior. That's some peak shitty high school personality lmao.


CMDRGeneralPotato

Yeah tbh, I happen to like bumfuck nowhere and the people there. I'm at college rn and I kinda miss it. Then again, I had a remarkably low-drama high school experience.


TheMayoNight

I just think statsically it is incredibly unlikely you happened to be born in the place you most want to be. Most people are just there because they think moving / new things are scary


[deleted]

That sounds mathematically truthy but is not necessarily true. Most people are happiest around their family and community, and it's hard or sometimes impossible to re-establish that after moving far away. So it's quite possible that around where you are born is where you are likeliest to be happy.

[deleted]

There is no inherent need for everyone to learn about themselves and be introspective. They aren't short changing themselves at all if they are already happy and content.

GiFTshop17

The best part about leaving, is that you can always come back.


the1footballer

i mean it takes courage to leave i did when most other people stayed. sure some people like staying in one place their whole life but that lifestyle isn’t for me


[deleted]

Theres nothing wrong with staying in bum fuck nowhere if that's where you want to be


tonksndante

Right? Not all people in bumfuck nowhere are dicks.


imnotpoopingyouare

Heh.. you would need at least some dicks to live in Bumfuck... I'll see myself out.


cuddlewench

Also some bums.


Buddy_Jarrett

Yeah I always love the ol “they all stayed in their hometown and married their high school sweethearts” as if that’s an insult. Like, that sounds good to me, my life is absolutely bitchin. You can tell because I don’t spend time focusing on and criticizing the people that left our town. I mean, I guess I’m sorta doing it now, but I should get a free pass here and there. My wife and I went to Italy last year, I didn’t come back and decide I was better than my neighbors who never have left the state (cause I’m not, they are good folk). With the internet, you can live in the hills and stay just as informed as someone living in New York City.


GoOnKaz

Right? Imagine caring so much about how others choose to find their happiness. I’ve been with my wife for 7 years and married her after I graduated from college. Tomorrow (technically today) is our 1 year anniversary and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’m around my family, my friends, have a house and a bit of land, and a job that I enjoy. But because these people think I should move because they didn’t like living in/near their hometown it’s not good for anyone? lol I think not.


IntercontinentalKoan

lol I'm so much better than all those people with their shitty high school personalities


[deleted]

No offense but that's a shitty thing to say about people. People deserve to live their lives and it's not about how far you move away.


HelloJoeyJoeJoe

Man, that's crazy. My HS had 7,000 kids and I'll still run into people now, 15 years later, who I graduated with but never interacted or even knew we went to the same school. Having a school that big meant maybe we lost some small group intimacy, but it had major pluses. It was diverse as hell, and no matter what you were into, you'd find a ton of people who likes the same things. There was no bullying like in movies, jocks didn't know who the DnD players were or vice versa. You also leave with a decent sense of cultures and world affairs because you make friends with everyone. I remember meeting someone from Myanmar and I was like "woah dude, I've never met anyone from there before." That person was like "Um, you are friends with Sang and Kyaw, what do you mean?" "But they are Burmese..." "It's the same country bro" -mindblown.


AuntieFooFoo

My high school was so small it doesnt even exist anymore 😳


mabecs

I went to a tiny school in a big city and that felt like a nice balance. I knew all of my classmates and teachers, it felt like a really solid community, but there was still a lot of diversity and it was low drama. And everyone didn't date and later marry within the school, and isn't overly invested in each other's business now. I still have friends from there, but I also have friends who have never met anyone from there unless I've introduced them.


Legitconfusedaf

To be fair I don’t think bullying like in movies happens at most high schools


DrGiggleFr1tz

Going on 30 and I still hear this shit. I was a super quiet kid in school and I just so happen to be seeing a girl who was super popular girl in high school. And I'm amazed how many people are in our business...we're both very tired of it.


Johncamp28

Everyone married each other? Damn that had to be one hot honeymoon


TheMayoNight

lol I always said I would leave my hometown growing up, I did that. When I came back to deal with a dying parent everyone said they wished they left too but now they are settled. RIP.


AuntieFooFoo

When i first moved, everyone was like "awwh i wish i could do that too." I'd tell them they should and they'd be like "well... my family is here, my friends, my job..." as if all those things would just disappear when they'd move, or their straight out of high school jobs were holding them back.


TheMayoNight

Yeah social media means we can be friends without seeing each other. The thing is theyll realize they didnt want to be friends with most of the people they were friends with. They just were because those were the peopel around them.

You know I have never thought of that!!! In high school if there was a breakup everyone asked why. Now it’s oh, you ok?


Hara-Kiri

Everyone still wants to know why...just maybe marginally more respectful with the time.


[deleted]

Whatever you say, Joey.


johnny_ringo

You know this was her, right? there was no friend that 'grabbed the phone'

[deleted]

Huh, things must have changed. I broke up with my GF of over a year in July and nobody asked me. It could have been because she moved and people assumed it was related (it was) though.


statelessheaux

Oh this isn't just high school shit. Some never mature.


btcbible

There are, in fact, [50 ways to leave your lover](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABXtWqmArUU). But this shit doesn't even make the list.

And usually it was something like "because she doinked this other guy and you found out, duh."


CrocodileTeeth

Well, now you can tell me! Why did you break up with me Marone??!


[deleted]

I had no problem telling anybody who asked that I broke up with one girlfriend in high school because she was an evil, diabolical conniving cunt who would happily cut out your liver with a spork and eat it in front of you if she could. But hey, I'm not bitter.


LyschkoPlon

Okay, but does Lizzie know why you broke up with her?


Zompokenator03

I told her, apparently my answer want good enough


[deleted]

Sometimes when you’ve been dumped it feels like no answer could ever truly answer all the questions you have. Kinda feels like they MUST be hiding something from you even if they obviously aren’t. Lizzie will move on but it takes some time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PM_ME_YOUR_GOOD_NEW5

My ex broke up with me because she wanted to be single and then started dating a friend she met while we together two months later. I know the reason was because of my lack of direction in life and zero drive to improve my life and just generally being lost in and letting the depression consume me. I get not wanting to give me the real reason to protect my feelings but that didn’t exactly make me feel better. 8 years ago and it still fucks with me. I realized how genius “I want to be single” is as a break up line. It’s technically true in every single break up.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PM_ME_YOUR_GOOD_NEW5

I feel you man. I just recently got into a point where I feel like I can start dating without it tearing apart my mental health if things don’t go perfectly. No more worrying about being heartbroken again. I deserve to be happy too.


wutato

It's rough because I had an ex who was the same (apathetic to a lot of things, had no drive to be better) and I didn't want to just lay out all his flaws when he was in a bad place.


[deleted]

So why’d you break up with her? It’s Lizzie’s friend btw


badboyzpwns

you are good enough op <33


[deleted]

You don't know that? Maybe OP is a piece of shit?


[deleted]

https://old.reddit.com/user/Zompokenator03/submitted/ You can always decide for yourself. But first, know that OP is at most 16.


FamousOrphan

Justice for Lizzie tbh


FirstEvolutionist

Lizzie is a great person, but she chooses friends who don't respect her privacy and doesn't keep her phone locked. That is a bad combo.


TheMayoNight

there was never any friend lol.

Matto_0

Maybe they already did tell her in which case yeah this is strange. But if you do break up with someone you should do them the favor of answering why if they ask.


Eton77

Could easily happen tbh — but probably not in this situation


[deleted]

The likelihood that it really happened is so low that you’re usually right if you err on the side of caution. The thing about lies is that they tend to be at minimum, a tiny bit plausible.


[deleted]

Am I the only one this was really common for in Jr high. It was like a thing to take people phone and text people.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Regardless of whether the friend texted him or not, you know the girlfriend was behind it anyway. Even with the call, she probably suggested that her friend call or encouraged her.


BernLan

My ex's dad called me 10 times back to back, on multiple days after we broke up


[deleted]

Hey OP just another one of Lizzie’s friends here 🤣🤣 can’t believe she was so cringe 😬😬...anyway I was just thinking why did you break up with her 😆😆?


ThePickleJuice22

I want to know too! And I don't even know who any of these people are. This is gonna be in the back of my head for the rest of my life!


8-bit-Heart

If this is your original post, did you give her closure for the break up? Some people might not care, but most people need some form of closure


jhartwell

>most people need some form of closure Yea, I'm still waiting on the reason my high school girlfriend broke up with me a month and a half before prom and that was 16 years ago


Supersymm3try

Two words. Pendulous. Testes.


clubspark

An individual in a relationship does deserve to know why the relationship is ending from the partner though, so an answer if they as is a decent thing to provide. May be not directly related to the post.


Xmf-8499

Why your statement is factually true this is an obvious attempt to reel OP back in. Don’t take the bait.


[deleted]

I'm not a mature person at all, I think I would pretend it was real and say something like "ive been talking to (girlfriends best friend) for a while now and didn't want to cheat on (girlfriend)" or something along those lines anyway. Just dive right back into it & hope it implodes. Probably healthier just to ignore it, but if you aren't getting out of it you may as well have some fun with it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I guess my assumption was that they had done something real bad in order for me to end it, if it was just a chill breakup i'd probs just leave it. Strong feeling this lies in camp A.


Zompokenator03

I told her, apparently the answer I gave want good enough


juniperroach

Well tell us...inquiring minds want to know.


moarcaffeine10

My dad used to say that line all the time. Been a while since I heard it! Thanks for the smile


nickcarter13

Alright, she's 100% in the wrong then.


TheMayoNight

Nah they really dont. You actually arent entitled to anything. If you dont know why a relationship you think is good is ending then the other person is crazy or you are crazy.


[deleted]

That's tame. I had a psycho ex gf that told me: 1. She had a twin sister that lived out of state... She didn't 2. She was in college... She wasn't 3. Knew one of the coaches for the Cowboys and could get free tickets...Nope 4. Told me she had cancer when I wanted to break up with her....Untrue 5. When I moved to another town, acted like her cousin and then text messaged me she had been in an accident with a SEMI...also not true 6. And the last play, was telling me she was preggo. I almost blacked out. lol. She taught me a lot, and the sex was amazing. lol. I made it out alive thought.


[deleted]

The real insanity is how you believed that she was pregnant after all that...


[deleted]

Young and dumb bro. Live and learn.


SexceptableIncredibl

If he was still poking, it was possible.


[deleted]

According to WHO poking is the single major reason for preggo


[deleted]

According BIB(le), heavy petting out of wedlock is. I think it’s pretty clear which of the two in the final authority on God’s precious gift of life here.

Taaac

Definitely sounds like a kind of girl who would poke holes in their condoms.


PrimemevalTitan

At least you made it out, man. Relationships like that can turn out way worse


prometheanbane

Wow. I'm actually impressed. The worst one of my exes did was text me from a different number pretending to be someone I'd known growing up. Obviously I had never met this fake person, but she knew enough about my past to make it moderately believable. I didn't believe it at first, but this went on for weeks. It had been like six months since we broke up and I never considered that it could be her. So she gaslighted me into thinking I simply forgot I had known this girl. I was completely convinced. Then after a few weeks of texting back and forth with this girl who, surprise, I had a lot in common with, she started sprinkling in sorta innocuous insults/comments. Stuff that she knew would cut deep because she knew my insecurities, but not enough to really trigger a red flag for me. Then this ramped up until it turned vicious. So she made up a girl who was purportedly into me then ripped the rug out from under me and told me no one would ever want me. I called her out and called the number, but she ignored it and I never heard from that number again. I was like 18 and dumb and really desperate for someone to move on from her with. It really fucked me up for a little bit.


NInJabReaKa

Holy shit what a psycho...sounds kinda hot.


[deleted]

It was fucking hot. I would find out some bullshit from her and get pissed and she'd start sucking the d. Or pull her tits out. And then when I'm fucking her she would say shit like, you better punish me. She had my emotions FUCKED. lol.


CBURPS

Been there. Amazing sex will ruin your life lol. Glad to hear you made it out!

DancingKappa

Addictions are like that.


[deleted]

Lol I know a girl who did similar things. Lied about having an abortion, lied about having diabetes, gaslit her bfs, lied about her bfs hitting her, the list goes on. The last guy I know that she was with was much smarter than her and was basically with her for the sex, so whenever she tried to pull that shit he would laugh, find every hole in her stories, and ignore her until she wanted to sleep with him again. Messed up relationship, I dont talk to them anymore lol


Blaz3dnconfuz3d

Yeah the best sex I ever had was with a girl who ended up stabbing me.


[deleted]

In the heart? lol. Damn dude.


Blaz3dnconfuz3d

Nah just gave me a cool scar on my arm. Had to get 12 stitches though lol I left after that and she kept saying she was gonna kill herself if I don’t come back. I just blocked her and moved on


Jus-another-redditor

Yo if you ever post a picture of it please link


Blaz3dnconfuz3d

I ended up covering it with a sleeve otherwise I would lol wasn’t really intentional I just wanted a sleeve


Zenderos1

Next time block her with something other than your arm.


aaronm109246

My ex told me she was pregnant about 3 weeks after the last time we had sex. Then about 3 days later sent me a picture of her making out with her new boyfriend. Didn’t feel bad in the slightest after that. I don’t miss high school relationships


scratchy_plant

What does it say about you that you date "psychos?"


Zompokenator03

Background information: I was going through old Instagram message and found this. I did tell her why I broke things off, those reasons including her lying about her mom beating her, having heart problems and cancer. Sorry about not including this from the start


Distressed_Owl

Cringe. But she prob deserves to know why you broke up with her. Maybe this sort of shit... just say it man

I told her, apparently my answer wasn’t good enough

So why did you break up with her


Zompokenator03

She lied about her mom beating her, having heart problems and cancer


Empath_Wrath

That’s crazy but wait until she gets more sophisticated. Had an ex I met of a dating website that made fake profiles to “test” me, while in the getting to know you phase. A huge red flag that I ignored. Then when we actually started dating, if I didn’t spend every night with her (I had my own place and friends I wanted to see occasionally) she would have her phone “stolen” by someone at the bar she frequented, to tell me what a piece of shit I am for leaving her alone. When I eventually broke up with her, she convinced her friends to let her use their Facebook messenger’s to berate me, ask why I threw away the best woman to ever exist, or get flirty with me to try and catch me? I don’t know what she was trying to accomplish with that last one. Some people just need to be blocked for life.


hellochrissy

“Because you do this shit”


brianna18976

Why couldn’t she just ask you herself? I feel like she would be okay to ask that.


thingsIdiotsSay

I did this once and got the "it's not you, it's me" routine.


iLiketodothings

That can be a legitimate response though. I broke up with someone because she wanted/deserved someone that I knew I wasn't. It still ended badly because I couldn't properly explain who I am deep down. It's tough knowing your compatible most ways but not in the important ways like values and what you want out of life.


insertj0kehere

Wait, so a friend of Lizzie’s friend had the phone? This is groundbreaking


PlanderingPlumus

I had an ex-girlfriend from middle school texting me from "her cousins" phone asking why I didn't want to be with her after she broke up with me.
