I'm curious; I've noticed I have a tendency to string out relationships at times because I hate dumping people, and worry about hurting the other person. Choosing the rational approach, I proceed to string it out and only worsen the pain for everyone involved. As such, I almost always prefer to be dumped; while it sucks, it's not me causing it, and I recover pretty quickly.
So I'm curious what everyone else prefers.
Getting dumped, oddly enough.
I've always been dumped. Someday I might like to try dumping someone, might be fun.

Trust me, it's not. Not if you want to stick around and have to comfort them. I wonder if it's not better just to say "it's over, woman! Now, bye!".
I'd say getting dumped. Not as much guilt involved.

In my mind I picture myself twisting the knife a bit before breaking off all ties forever. :menace:
But I'm too much of a nice, compassionate guy to ever do that.
The best would probably be a mutual break up, with both sides realizing that it won't work.
I would like to try getting dumped without her taking all the money, stocks, and furniture. Might be worth a shot.
^ :pinch:
I guess I would prefer getting dumped. I don't really have much context for it. I've only been dumped once, and while I was sad at the time, I'm glad she ended it, because she was a really lame girlfriend.
Getting dumped, I guess. Not counting situations where there was a one night stand and I pretty much never called back, every time I actually dumped someone, I felt bad afterwards and tried to repair/restart the relationship.
Never been dumped. :smoke:
Never really done either, have always just....split.
So no clue, to be the dumper I guess, then its my choice.
WTF :lmfao:
Neither is pleasant but getting dumped is the worse of the two.
I prefer to not answer the phone until they stop calling.

I find that refusing to return phone calls or speak to them when out on the street is best.
It's far better to dump, but beware the mess. It demands emotional clarity, and people starting or ending relationships usually don't have much of that.
