Once it was over, I preferred to end all contact. Nothing was worse than rehashing or prolonging the discomfort. My dating years were before Facebook, etc, so, I'd imagine it would be more difficult to do now with mutual friends, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583513 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:50:00 +0000 MrsKoala 583513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clean breakups FTW! I just cut off contact and never heard from him again. Luckily, we were in an LDR so it was super easy to just stop talking to him. Although 10 years later, I still Google his name once in a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583492 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:45:41 +0000 anonysquire 583492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, never! Even when I'm the one to break up I'm just way too emotional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583487 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:44:10 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 583487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. One guy didn't understand that I was really breaking up with him. He wouldn't leave me alone for months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583483 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:43:10 +0000 DillonLion 583483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I had one year long break up and was so traumatized by it I vowed to never do it again. Clean break ups from then on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583462 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:38:44 +0000 Bao 583462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few of them as FB friends, but initially they did not end well whether they were doing the breaking up or I was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583373 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:23:48 +0000 MsMini 583373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I was trying to make sure he had no reason to contact me ... Obviously failed. We lived 3 hours apart, so I sure wasn't driving it myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583365 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:22:20 +0000 autumnlove 583365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: You are so nice for couriering his stuff!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583351 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:20:09 +0000 .twist. 583351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally clean. my ex was a douche and there's no way i'd want to be in contact with him whatsoever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583340 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:18:18 +0000 MsMini 583340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, my ex is a psycho, and despite the fact that I broke up with him over the phone and couriered his stuff to him, he continued to phone, email and drive by my house until I moved and changed my phone number ... 3 years post break-up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583326 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:15:57 +0000 Dandelion 583326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clean breaks for me, too. I only have one guy I dated as a fb friend, but he lives in another country and is married, too. </p> <p>The only one that I still have ties to is my son's dad. But, our actual separation and divorce was a clean break...no back and forth or anything...we both just knew it wasn't worth sticking together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583324 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:15:47 +0000 chopsuey 583324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: he called me to talk about our relationship since we hadnt seen each other in like 3 months. Lame thing is we only lived 40 miles from one another. Lol.<br /> I started distancing myself so he initiated the talk. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583303 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:11:17 +0000 heffalump 583303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My last ex and I still talked (he would call me and I didn't have the heart not to answer the phone) until I met DH. I finally had to tell him that I wasn't going to answer his calls anymore because I really liked the new guy I was dating and didn't want to mess things up with him. It took a couple of weeks of not answering phone calls for it to finally stop. </p> <p>@chopsuey119: This was a 7 1/2 year relationship and I dumped him over the phone too..... but it was a long distance relationship and he was such a jerk and I caught him in a huge lie, it needed to end right then and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583286 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:07:01 +0000 autumnlove 583286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Dang! Was he expecting it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583216 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:50:59 +0000 Bookish 583216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh lord no. Only one was a clean (and by clean, I don't mean pretty, I just mean it was fast) break, the other long-term relationships I've had we're just awwwful at dragging on. Break up, get back together and repeat 5x. :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583214 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:50:32 +0000 lovehoneybee 583214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I'm at least FB friends with most of my exes (we're seeing one of them on Saturday). I had one that led us being FWB for like two years afterwards...he was the only one that I wish had been a clean break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583208 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:49:19 +0000 chopsuey 583208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Haha I actually broke up with my 2 exes over the phone. The second was an almost 5 year relationship! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583207 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:49:09 +0000 banana 583207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're all been clean breaks. I can't do the "let's be friends" thing. Wait, actually I had one ex that i was friends with but we were only together 6 months and it was during high school so it doesn't really count. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-had-clean-break-ups#post-583203 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:48:14 +0000 autumnlove 583203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually had sever all ties break ups but I had one relationship that lingered for more than a year because we tried to be friends! </p>
