    I was engaged years ago. My then-fiancé suddenly decided that he could not bear to "restrict" himself to me. He dumped me. On my lunch break. Three weeks before the wedding.

    I sent some flowers to a guy and said if he was interested to ring me at a particular time. But the eejit didn't wait did he and rang when I wasn't at home. He proceeded to tell my brother about these flowers and demanded to know who the hell I was. I was mortified. Of course my family teased me endlessly and I said that a friend had set me up.

    Once, when I was younger and working as a lifeguard, I asked one of the young ladies attending the pool out. She said, "No."

    I stood there and blinked for a few seconds and tried to wrap my mind around the concept. It was unreal.

    I still wake up screaming about that one sometimes.

    Does it count if it wasn't a breakup, but just one of the worst things a partner said to you?

    As in, You have a great body but only an OK face, and yes, being pretty will always be more important than a great body.

    Or, my all-time favorite "You're the first girl I dated for something other than what she looked like". He kinda probably meant it as a compliment, but....you can't say that.

    My current husband, yes, I actually married the idiot who said this...."I mean, our girlfriends aren't supermodels, but it's not like they're ugly."

    Definitely the most notable was when I was rejected by hearing the boy I had a crush on yell over a crowd of about 60 other 6th graders between us, "MICHELLE!? She's so UGLY, I would NEVER go out with her!"

    I cried the whole way home on the bus.

    My favorite rejections were from the boys that later asked me out in high school and I got to say no. Well, I said it in a meaner way.

    I have never been rejected or dumped.

    Unless, I count someone declining my FR.

    I only send a FR once in an LTR.

    A long long time ago and in another universe I wanted to work for a specific company so badly that I applied for virtually every job opening they had everytime they had a job opening. Except that one time I didn't.

    I got a rejection letter from that company for a job I never applied for and didn't even know they were acceptin applications.

    Lol, I totally forgot about this one:

    Being a huge 49er fan, I thought it would be cool to get a job at the practice facility (I was 19 at the time). So I applied as a janitor. 3 weeks later I got a rejection letter stating "At this time there are no openings for this position. Thank you for submitting your application." :laugh: :laugh:

    When I was is 10th grade, I was dating a boy for a couple of weeks. It was Christmas time, and the school newspaper was selling candy cane grams. So, I get one from him

    "To: Kelly W.
    From: Tom
    Terminated"

    Except that I don't spell my name with a "y" so the other Kelly W. in my class got it, and came over to me and said "Um, I think this is for you."
