She Took a Break, Found Lovers, and Wanted Me Back-But I Said No

[@MacDaddy50]

I once had a girlfriend who wanted to take a break. I agreed and said, "we're both free to do as we please." She said, "It's not like that." I replied, "Yes it is, you don't make the rules. I do." She chased me for 1.5 years until I moved away.

This was such a "bro code" kinda story... Even "that guy" wasn't evil... 😂😂😂

[@johnsinclair8391]

😂A break means she wants to sleep around without consequences

[@nelsonchereta816]

Back when Friends had their famous 'On a break' story I was in college and was 100% on Rachel's side thinking taking a break is not the same as a permanently breaking up. Now much older I would be team Ross. If a partner asks you for a break it's over. Because what they're really asking for is the chance to see other people while having you as a backup plan. If one person wants to do that then it's already over.

[@StorySheree]

I fully support you, a pause is made for a reason, but when everything is lost

[@Dustin81]

When it started, Ross was asking if she wanted to have time for herself but she replied a break from him. That means break up. She also had the guy she told him not to worry about at her place in the background during a call. who she tried to hide he was there at first. She doesn't get to be mad after all that. From Ross' perspective she had the guy over after a date and moved on.

Once you go on a "break" in your relationship, it's over. Move on with your self-respect.

[@wildylupous]

The guy is simp. One year after break he still talks to her.

[@kwhgen441]

Another simp story. There is no such thing as a " break". Once you agree to separate, all's fair for both people.

[@daOrgRock]

Thank you! And every story with these simps are just curious! If you’ve made up your mind, you’re not curious. It’s done.

[@davidtavani7810]

What part of this story told you that there was simp

[@GreyLee-ml4ge]

If he a simp what does that make her. They both made decisions for themselves and that's fair. She wanted a break and he didn't take her back they both found what they needed

[@Dustin81]

How is he a simp? He never tried getting back with her.

[@timothyunagha4384]

What the actual hell

[@richardcox4413]

She said, "I just want time to discover herself outside of our relationship." This can be translated to, "I want to see someone else knowing I have you as my safety net." What a selfish and entitled ratbag. His friend was 100% correct. He should never, ever have given her another second of his time after moving on, and definitely not agreed to meet her again. Why go through the obvious emotional blackmail that he must have known was coming? From personal experience I can tell you that meeting for closure is usually utter nonsense. It's time that heals.

[@scaredpaul540]

Closure is for cheater, not for victim...victim have his closure moment he find out she cheated...thats all what matters, accept it and move on

[@remowilliams7029]

Years ago I got and idea when I was dating seriously. If I liked a girl and they liked me we decided to see where it would go, I would always put a back pack or small travel bag near the front door. When they would ask about it, I'd say oh don't worry it it's nothing. I would put copies of my important documents, bank info, passport etc. I knew they would check it when I was never around. When the time came to go separate ways, it was always amicable. Always keep them guessing and thinking.

Heartbreak makes u stronger

[@atso2000]

One of my GF wanted a break and after 2 months wanted me back ... I screwed her and said "I am sorry I don't feel you anymore like before the break. It has been good until it lasted. Good luck and I went home"

[@starchild134]

some just dumb i wouldn't talk to him

[@sageof346paths3]

"i think we need a break." Is 6 words. 😂

[@ianrose666]

“We need a break” is 4. And is the usual comment. When anyone says “those 4 words”, we know that’s what they mean.

[@ronbutler3431]

Listening to too many of these machine-generated fairy tales. I'm getting real sensitive to certain words ('crumbled') and tropes (running fingers through his hair) and the cheesy 'summing up' epilogues that are dead giveaways for AI content. At lease this guy edits pretty cleanly.

[@yami-no-matsuei]

Family isn't about (insert reason) it's about (insert inspirational quote)

[@johndo-wj6qu]

why do all these stories portray men as spineless wimps?

[@StorySheree]

Because only men like that can do something like that, right?

[@scaredpaul540]

majority of men are simps in fact...not every man have RP knowledge and lets be real, they never will have and always stay as beta simps who are clueless, cheated on and graped in divorce...

[@gregorywilks1036]

If i were mike and he went to meet her anyway that would be the last time i would want to hear anything about his relationships from that point on! Going to meet the guy she was seeing is so simp like, once i'm done I'M DONE!!!!

[@scaredpaul540]

i will answer her AP few words "f you for chasing taken girl, but you deserve each other, trash belongs on pile"
