It's just not working out.

[Barbas]

So you've just broken up. For one reason or another, it wasn't working out.


But what was that reason? Ideological differences? Hygiene differences?

Spoiler: SIMULATION

I broke up with The Elder Scrolls Online for a bit because Guild Wars 2 loves me enough to offer me rewards for logging in every day. It also has jumping puzzles that tickle the little monkey in the back of my brain. So we're on a break for now.

I've broken up with my gaming PC for the summer. She was getting really clingy and I just need my space you know?

Here's hoping you return with renewed passion and much money saved on games!

I broke up with Guild Wars 2 a looooooooong time ago. However only recently I broke up with it having a place on my hard drive. I used to play it with a friend a few years ago, but it sucked so we stopped. And that made Guild Wars 2 suck for me by extension.

...

I'm not very good at breaking up with things. I'm clingy and don't have a lot of willpower.

 

[Veldel]

She stopped talked to me and whenever i tried talking to her shes like everything is ok for like 2 weeks then at 2 am on skype sends a message claiming shes to crazy and immature for a relationship and telling me I would be unable to handle her crazy despite us having been together for about a month and 2 weeks.

She says Oh I love you but i dont want you to think im crazy. Yeah I dont believe it sounds like bullshit D:

She basically tried to use excuses galore with the breakup and thinks she knows what I can and cant handle in crazy.

She even said im not allowed to be mad or pissed wtf?

SO yeah that's my most recent one

DOA5 Last Round for the PC and I are on rocky terms right now. First she was late, then she didn't show up with everything she said she would, and now she's asking for absurd amounts of money for a couple of dresses. On top of that she isn't quite as pretty as promised and her dad is kind of over-bearing about what I'm allowed to do with her. I've loved her since the PS2, so it's tough, you know?

And Valve doesn't seem to understand that even my patience has limits. Kingdom Hearts already lost me by waiting too long, and now valve's been doing shady things while I sit and wait for the gift she promised back in '07. She keeps making plays for my wallet when I'm not looking, too.

I've recently been toying with the idea of breaking up with my launch 3DS.
Let's face it, she got old... and I've got a wondering eye for a newer model.

 

[MysticSlayer]

I had to break up with my long hair a couple months ago. We were getting into too many arguments, and one comb was already broken over the ordeal. So I had to cut her out of my life...Of course she's just going to come back. She always does...

More recently, I've thought about breaking up with Android. I'm not changing phones, but I've been wanting to try out some of those other nice-looking OSs like Ubuntu Touch, and there are versions of them compatible with my phone. Of course, I'll still keep Android around in case they don't work out, but I will say this: If I do decide to stick with her, she's going to have to stop dragging her father along everywhere. The bastard is way too curious about every detail of my life and doesn't like it when I tell him, "No, I don't want you around right now! I just want to spend time with your daughter in peace!"

 

[Godhead]

I broke up with League of Legends. It just changed too much, and not for the better. Still tends to show up uninvited whenever I hang out with friends though.

 

[DementedSheep]

I broke up with GW2 a while ago. Well...we're not completely broken up, more of a trial separation. I log back in every two weeks or so to unlock the story mission so they know I'm still interested and so if I come back I can do them without paying for it. Y'know, just keeping them in reserve in case my latest squeeze doesn't work out.
I just burnt out on it I suspect. That and I really can't be assed sorting out my inventory/bank and deciding on what crap to delete and keep.

 

[FPLOON]

Remember the time you broke up with School Days? How you promised yourself that you would never date that son of a ***** ever again for as long as you're still breathing? And then your friend starts dating School Days just out of curiosity and, to add insult and injury, somehow ropes you into a threeway between them that last way longer than it should have in the first place? And then, right after, you end up re-dating School Days behind your friend's back just to see if things have changed between the two of you? And, to no surprise to anyone, nothing has fucking changed?

Well, before my friend found out the hard way, I broke up with School Days AGAIN and told it to stay the fuck away from both me and my friend or so help me I would blow up its nice fucking boat! Yeah, I don't give a fuck! That fucking boat's going to bite the dust if School Days even thinks about seducing my friend, let alone me, ever again... And to think, there was a time where I would have defended School Days... The fuck was I thinking?!

Other than that, I think the disk for the PC version of the Toy Story 2 video game broke up with me... via a "Dear John" letter...
Fuck you, Toy Story 2 video game disk! At least the Lemmings Revolution PC disk is willing to try to make this shit work...

The best one for that analogy for me has to be the Tomb Raider series. I mean it started well with the original games; a steamy whirlwind romance, she looked great, it showed you plenty of new things, you were in perfect sync with each other, she made you laugh and her company was always enjoyable....but then the romance encountered a rocky area from which it never recovered and you vowed to never see each other again.

But then came /that/ night, the night when you drunkedly phone her up after spying her in the street and against all odds, she answers and you end up having a one night stand. Then you think "we should try this again, we didn't try hard enough the first time!"; which starts out great, she's a little different, but it's still her. Then the cracks start to appear and you end up yelling about how she never does what you want to do, what she does drives you nuts, where she's put the fucking keys, spousal abuse and a few brushes with death.

She's doing better these days though. She's made her way out of rehab and is trying to get her life back together, she's not quite there yet, she needs some help to get the kinks sorted out, she's looking pretty good though and even though you're different people and this attempt at getting back together has strains, but it's working for the most part.

 

[Foolery]

My 3DS. The D-pad is a bit loose. It's time for an upgrade. Sorry babe, you're just not hot anymore and getting old. (I ordered a New 3DS with the c-stick and better 3D)

 

[Lufia Erim]

I broke up with destiny. It was fun while it lasted , but realising that it was she demanded foursomes (her and 3 other guys ) or orgies ( her and 6 other guys) with people of varying skills, i couldn't take it anymore. I was tired of always explaining to the new people who did what and when. Because lord knows, if one of us was poorly positioned, or couldn't pull his weight, all hell broke loose. Many sessions were abandonned because some guys blew his load too early.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

We first met in mid/late 2010. We started dating a few months later and eventually I decided that I wanted to start being serious with her, so in late 2011 I moved to the city she lives in.

We've been together for almost four years now and things started off great. I was really interested in her and I could imagine myself with her for the rest of my life. But alas, over time things changed. I started looking at how happy other couples were and wondering why we were no longer like that. I also started to regret not looking at others when I had the chance.

And then there was the stress. She took up far too much of my time, demanding more and more of my social life every year we have been together while at the same time rarely giving me useful advice on how to be a better partner. This all culminated this year when for her birthday she wanted me to spend four months writing a 76 page book about my love for her.

Then I was introduced to another woman last year. She was astonishing, and extremely refreshing in comparison to my relationship until then. Everything about her interested me greatly and I was starting to feel excited around someone again. After chatting with her long enough, she decided that she wanted to start something with me. I thought about it a while, and a week later said yes. I knew my current relationship will be ending in a few months time, and I wanted someone to be with after that finished. We have been making arrangements ever since for when we start going out.

And that is why, after completing my combined Bachelor and Master in Computer Science, I will be starting a PhD in Quantum Engineering.[footnote]Obviously there is a lot of exaggeration here -- I actually have enjoyed my undergrad -- but that doesn't make for as fun a story. =P[/footnote][footnote]Eventually, there will come a day when I talk about something other than my university life. Probably once I get a job, at which point I will start talking about my job life.[/footnote]

 

[Random Argument Man]

I've broken up with some older games so I can get in love with a new 3Ds. Didn't regret it.

SO yeah that's my most recent one

You're "not allowed" to be mad that she broke up with you? No. No no no no no. She's not allowed to tell you how to feel. Even within a relationship that sort of manipulation and control is highly questionable. But after she's kicked you to the curb? No. Fucking. Way. It's as simple as that.

OT: I broke up with the entire concept of dating, companionship, romance, whatever you call it. After years of being turned down, put down, stood up, laughed at, lied to, lied about, and just generally being kicked around, with a big fat goose egg in the WIN column, I decided it wasn't for me. I've gone through several different mindsets on the subject:

-there must be something horribly wrong with me, I mean women go back to abusers and addicts and I can't even get a coffee
-no, there's something wrong with THEM, I am honest and stable and intelligent and if they aren't into that they should be
-they deserve better, a guy with more money, more confidence, better car, just more
-no, *I* deserve better, I mean unlucky is one thing but I'm a human being and goddamn the way some of them have treated me....!
-I'm just fundamentally unsuited to companionship, conversationally retarded, too much of an introvert
-I have no common interests with them, I'm too far off the median
-women want the strong guy, all muscle and ego, it's the lack of self-confidence that caused it

and so forth. Each was true in its own way but none encapsulated the problem. If it were a problem that could be encapsulated, people would be much more successful in their relationships.

 

[DerangedHobo]

I broke up with PC gaming because he/she/it is a two faced harlot who just couldn't tenderly fuck me in the ass anymore, it just devolved into back stabbing and hate fucking.

 

[bartholen_v1legacy]

I don't know, Tekken Tag Tournament 2... is there really a future for us? I mean, you're nice and all, but I don't feel very rewarded when I play you. It's just something I do to pass the time. Your demands for a deeper connection are just too damn high. I mean, have you seen the kinds of shit people pull off online? I've got a job, and enough social life to not want that. I don't think I want a deeper relationship... We should break up.

 

[The White Hunter]

I broke up with DPSing casual raids because it was frustrating, drawn out, and no longer but no longer put out enough pleasurable interaction.

Now I tank them because it tickles my masochistic side and everyone gets to look at me for it!
