Have you ever broken up with someone to date someone else?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

Came close but did not break up

I've broken off relationships before because they were going nowhere, and then asked someone else out the next day. I've done that a few times actually.

This poll is very telling about the quality of women on this site. 75% of the women just said they're terrible, selfish people.

[Asker]

nearly as many men as women said yes... only 1 less guy so? It's not really selfish to break up first if you want to date someone else. It would be selfish to cheat.

No hun. If you dump someone to date another person you NEVER cared about the first person to begin with. Because you couldn't be attracted to another if you truly loved that person. That FACT you don't know that tells a lot about you.

[Asker]

lol okay... What I know about you I suppose is that you dont understand that emotions are not constant and relationships end everyday. People fall in and out of love all the time. It does not mean they were NEVER in love, because they no longer love the person anymore. I have ex boyfriends that I once loved. I am not in love with them anymore. It is pretty absurd to say I never loved them or cared for them because I no longer want to be with them now. I actually still care about them as people. Emotions are not that binary and if you dont get that, it says a lot about you I suppose? Cheers

You excusing "emotions" to behave an any manner you wish. You can believe anything you want. But your beliefs don't change reality.

[Asker]

lol okay. Never said one can behave in "any manner" because of their emotions. I said very clearly that emotions change and because you feel something one day does not guarantee you feel it the next and it doesn't mean it NEVER happened. That is what I said. For some reason you are committed to some fantasy that any relationship that ends means there has to be a bad person. I'll leave you to it with those beliefs.

Yeah emotions change, people change you can even change your partner if it's not working anymore. But that was NOT your question. You VERY CLEARLY stating that you're changing them because someone else came along. Your eyes should NEVER have been on that person to begin with. You can dress it up any way you want. But it's very clear what you are saying.

[Asker]

I see what you're saying. That if you are truly committed, then if someone else comes along, it should not matter. I get it. Unfortunately sometimes people come along right as you may have been thinking to end it anyway or maybe you were unhappy but did not want to hurt the person, and then you met someone who you felt could be your person and realized both you and your partner deserve a shot at that kind of happiness. My point is things are complicated sometimes is all. I had something like that happen when I was a kid, like a teenager - was thinking to end it with a boyfriend who was amazing since we were little kids and then I went to college and met a guy - I wasn't in love with the new guy but the fact I wanted to date him made me realize I should not be in that relationship and my ex deserved better and so I ended it. I knew him since I was 10 years old! I simply outgrew the relationship is all. Still loved him but did not want to be with him anymore.

Of course. If you are in a shitty job, you get yourself a better one. There isn't much difference.

[TheRealPepperPotts]

No, I wouldn't do that.

[NathanDavis]
