The reality is love doesn't always last. Sometimes you're the one that's made the tough decision to end the relationship.
It doesn't feel great to be the bearer of bad news and kick somebody to the curb, whether you've known them for a few months or a few years.
Since breaking up with someone is never a fun or easy task, sometimes the breaker-upper might handle things in a way that's...kind of messy.
To help us all get some closure here, I'm checking in with you, the BuzzFeed Community, to ask: Have you ever broken up with someone in a way that was downright awful?
Perhaps you took them out to dinner at their favorite restaurant in their best outfit, let them order their last meal before you dropped the ax, and left them with the bill.
Maybe you wrote a lengthy 2,000-word text with emojis, hyperlinks, and footnotes describing why you were 100% done.
Or maybe you pulled the total cop-out move and said, "It's not you — it's me," line complete with a single tear like you're the star of a cheesy reality TV show.
However the breakup went down, this is your chance to get the guilt off your chest and put it all behind you. Confess without consequence in this anonymous form or in the comments below.
The best responses will be featured in a BuzzFeed Community post.
