" \nKicked to the Curb Scott and I had been dating for six months when he said I could start moving some stuff in to his place. I was psyched that we were unofficially taking our relationship to the next level. &amp;quot;That weekend, he helped me move a box of essentials over to his apartment, and the following Sunday, he suggested I bring some more things over. When I returned later that afternoon with my duffel bag, I saw that he&amp;#039;d put my first box out into the hallway in front of his door. I just figured he didn&amp;#039;t feel like dragging it out to the curb. &amp;quot; When I got closer, I noticed a note on the box that read: &amp;#039;Here&amp;#039;s your stuff back. I don&amp;#039;t think this is going to work out. Leave your key under the mat.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; \u2014Tara, 27  Foreign Affair &amp;quot;After we finished high school, my boyfriend and I got engaged. Shortly after, he joined the military and was shipped off to boot camp out of state. We wrote each other love letters every day without fail until he graduated. Once he finished training, he was stationed in Germany, and I missed him so much. But after about three months, the letters and the phone calls stopped, and I started to worry. &amp;quot;Then one day out of the blue, his mom called me crying. I took a deep breath, preparing to hear that something awful had happened to him. Instead, she said that her son was breaking off the engagement because he had just gotten married to some German girl. I ran into him once when he returned to the States, and he had the nerve to ask me for the ring back. I told him I&amp;#039;d pawned it off.&amp;quot; \u2014Samantha, 19  Taco Hell &amp;quot;Being a creative and thoughtful girlfriend, I decided I&amp;#039;d surprise Brian, my then boyfriend, with an old-fashioned love letter. I even went out to the store to buy special stationery. After I&amp;#039;d finished writing about all the sexy and sweet things I wanted to do with him, I signed the letter with a kiss and popped it into the mailbox. Then, the weirdest thing happened \u2014 Brian just stopped calling me. &amp;quot;After a week of zero contact, I started wondering if he&amp;#039;d fallen off the planet. Then I went to get the mail and saw that there was a white envelope with my name scrawled on it in his handwriting. I tore it open, expecting to find something along the lines of a steamy response. But no, inside the envelope was a greasy, folded up fast-food wrapper. On it, he had written, plain and simple: &amp;#039;We&amp;#039;re done.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; \u2014Beth, 29  Runaway Groom &amp;quot;Dylan and I said I do on a cold day in November in front of a small group of close friends and family. As my father walked me down the aisle, I noticed a woman out of the corner of my eye who was sitting alone in the back of the church. It struck me as odd that I&amp;#039;d never seen her before, but at the time, I was so excited that I didn&amp;#039;t really think much of it. &amp;quot;The next morning, right before we were supposed to leave for a fabulous honeymoon in the Caribbean, my husband of 12 hours broke the news that he was still in love with his ex \u2014 the woman I had seen in the church.&amp;quot; \u2014Fiona, 34  First-Class Ass &amp;quot;I was stoked to be flying out to Florida to see Jake, my long-distance boyfriend, for New Year&amp;#039;s Eve. We hadn&amp;#039;t seen each other in three weeks, and we had tons of fun things planned for the holiday. I was packed and ready to go, sitting in a taxi on my way to the airport, when I noticed a missed call on my cell. I smiled when I saw my guy&amp;#039;s number, thinking that he&amp;#039;d left me a cute have-a-safe-flight message. &amp;quot;Instead, I punched in my password to hear: &amp;#039;I hope you haven&amp;#039;t left already because I don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s a good idea for you to come down here. In fact, I think we should break up.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; \u2014Lucy, 24  While You Were Bleeping &amp;quot;One night Dave, my boyfriend of about seven months, said he would come over to my apartment after he had cocktails with some of the guys from his office. By midnight, he was still MIA, so I called his cell, his apartment, and his office and got no answer anywhere. By then I was frantic: Did he get in a car accident? Was he badly hurt? Should I call the hospital? The police? I was up for hours, worrying about what possibly could have happened to him. &amp;quot;Then at 4 in the morning, Dave stumbled in drunk. &amp;#039;Where were you?&amp;#039; I asked, pissed but also relieved that he was apparently okay. In slurred speech, he mumbled something about going home with some other girl and having sex with her. And then, as if that wasn&amp;#039;t bad enough already, he had the nerve to tell me it was over.&amp;quot; \u2014Gemma, 27  Heartbreak Hostel &amp;quot;My ex-boyfriend and I went on a three-week backpacking trek through Europe together. He was unemployed, so I offered to pay. As soon as we landed, he started picking these little fights with me about the most ridiculous things. By the end of the first week, he just stopped on the street, threw his pack down, and yelled, &amp;#039;You&amp;#039;re driving me insane! I just can&amp;#039;t be with you anymore.&amp;#039; &amp;quot;The problem was that we still had two more weeks left, and I&amp;#039;d already paid for the whole thing. So we ended up spending the next two miserable weeks together rehashing every problem that we&amp;#039;d ever had in our relationship and trying to make things work. He dumped me anyway on the day before we flew home.&amp;quot; \u2014Tanya, 28  Pregnant Pause &amp;quot;My boyfriend, Jeff, and I were in a quasi-long-distance relationship because he did a lot of traveling for his finance job. While I&amp;#039;ll admit that I didn&amp;#039;t love our every-other-week arrangement, I was dealing with the situation because I thought we were really good for each other. &amp;quot;One Friday, after he&amp;#039;d just gotten back into town from a two-week stint overseas, he took me out for an amazing dinner at my favorite restaurant. We lingered for hours, enjoying the wine and great conversation. After dessert, we found our way back to his place, and he proved to me \u2014 in the sack \u2014 just how much he&amp;#039;d missed me. Everything seemed absolutely perfect. &amp;quot;But the next morning, it went to hell. While we were cuddling in bed, he blurted out that he&amp;#039;d gotten his ex-girlfriend pregnant and he was getting back together with her.&amp;quot; \u2014Sybil, 23  Two-Timing Train Wreck &amp;quot;Tom, my college boyfriend, and I had been dating for about a year and a half when out of the blue he called late one night and told me he was breaking up with me. I never saw it coming, and I was completely devastated \u2014 crying hysterically, couldn&amp;#039;t eat, couldn&amp;#039;t sleep, the works. &amp;quot;After a month of avoiding each other around campus, we decided to meet up and see how the other person was doing. Eventually we had &amp;#039;the talk&amp;#039; and decided to get back together. A month later, I went home for the weekend. When I got back, my roommate was acting really weird and so was Tom. He sat me down and told me that he was in love with my roommate \u2014 something they had figured out just that weekend \u2014 and that we needed to break up again so that he could go out with her.&amp;quot; \u2014Becky, 28 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
