Hey guys. I broke up with my recent girlfriend today on very good grounds, thought I'd transcript the break up here. Some men find it hard to keep control in this area of the relationship.

And also, yes I am feeling a little down by it and I'm using this as a productive way of venting out my emotions. Better than what some other men do.

Kay: "We need to talk.."
Me: "Ok.. lets talk."
Kay: "I've not been so sure about how I feel about our relationship. *continues to proceed how she's been feeling messed up in the head - good reasons*
*stopping her mid-sentence, put my arms around her* "Listen, no matter what has happened in my life I have always ended up finding happiness. Whether we should stop seeing each other or not I will be happy with the decision. Are you sure this is what you think we should do?"
Kay: *looks at me, opens her mouth (obviously surprised witth what I said)* "yes, I don't think this is going to work out*
Me: *Smile* "Ok I understand." *Kiss on the lips* "Cmon, you can walk me out."

We walked down stairs to the door. I opened the door.. she said "Mick.." I turned round. "Don't be a stranger?" "Same to you." and walked home.

Have to say, I feel slightly better.

Ending on good terms is definitely rare, sweet. I think she'll be back tho, sounds like your even keel response hooked her.

I didn't intend to have positive feedback from this but thank you for those kind words of motivation you two. I wish all the best for you as well

Whether she comes back or not, think of it like this: she'll always remember you as the really cool ex who handled himself so well. Being fondly remembered is a gift in itself.

Keep it up!

So simple...

I almost wish this could be made a sticky. Thanks for sharing.
That part may be the most important part. You don't have to feel happy about it, you just have to step up and be a man about it.

I think it would be amazing if this was made into a sticky. Most guys don't know how to handle the breakupwhich makes them frustrated in the process resulting in an an exertion of anger or a break down. Putting themselves completely at the mercy of their girlfriend like she was an executioner with an axe.

I simply will not put myself at that position. Although this was a week ago and I feel indifferent to it now at the time this was a difficult process but I felt like a man and being a man is what I was aiming for.

160 odd people have read this, I don't care if there's any replies or not just please learn from it. For your own sake.

Perfectly executed !! If you want her back it will be easier. Now you can just let her see you with much hotter women and let her know youve changed more into an Alpha male and are not intrested inher.

man i wish i would have read this earlier i broke up with my gf of 6 months bc i was mad bc she posted some stuff that i ididnt like on facebook to some guy and after i liked it she took it off and blocked it to where i was the only one who couldnt see it :/ it got me so angry i confronted her for trying to be sneaky and ended up braking up she called me yesterday and asked me if ireally wanted that i said i really love you but i dont think we are going to work out and she just said ok and clicked :/ im thinking shes thinking ima go back to her but im not ima keep my head up and just not go back ireally like her but idk i just would like to be single for some time what hurts me is thinking about her having a relationship with someone else hopefully that feeling fades away pretty soon :/

That was brilliant! It takes a real man to handle a break up by staying strong and proud. She might not have ever realised you had qualities like that.

Perfect! That is exactly how to handle a breakup! Well done!

In all likelihood, she will want you back, because of how you handled it.

Haha I didn't get nor wanted her back but thank you everyone. Please keep viewing

I had a similar experience. Simply said, "Okay". Was I upset that we were breaking up? Absolutely. But I didn't feel like sobbing like a bitch. Society, movies, and Bruno Mars might guilt-trip us into doing that, but it works to just toughen it out.

And yeah, she wanted back in.
