Search Results: reasons to break up

I'm asking if you would ever pass up on someone even if you're confident in the short term because you feel like you wouldn't be good enough in the long term. If so, please share your experience. What were/are you confident/unconfident about?

Maybe you're confident for whatever reason at first impressions, maybe you're at least somewhat good looking with a few good jokes but in the long term you're just broke, irresponsible or boring.

Maybe you're just really good with words in the beginning because you've gone on lots of first dates but you always get it wrong on following dates.

We dated for 3 years, but recently went to long distance. We broke up about two weeks ago and haven't really talked since. It was killing me more not to talk to him so I called and we talked for two hours and I even talked to his family on speaker phone.

He broke up with me. I think he's interested in a coworker which is more the reason for him breaking up, she's closer to him and that's understandable.

If we're soulmates then we'll work out, it is what it is for now. But I am curious if you would talk to your ex for two hours if you didn't still have feelings.
