Honestly for me the hardest part was losing their family. I really enjoyed the family gatherings and hanging out with them.

Not being told we broke up - total silence. "Get the hint" bullshit.

That's harder. I need closure more than my "feelings being spared" (because they won't be ... the silent treatment makes it ten times worse).

I think losing something you thought you had is the hardest part. Friendship, closeness, someone to be comfortably silent with.

All three options. It is really hard for me to be with somebody for a long time and then have my life flipped outside down in an instant.

Same I usually love being close to my boyfriend's parents

I chose all the options because I have had various relationships where all those things have been the hardest. I find they apply more to the longer relationships though. But I find overall the hardest thing, is when the relationship ends with a lot of pain and hurt, but you are forced to still see that person on a daily basis. Ugh!

All of the above for me, plus the family if you'd been with them for a long time. When I was in high school, I dated someone for 2 years and became close to his older sister and mother so much we regularly wrote notes to each other after the breakup.

All of the above..and the loss of security of having someone who loves you. Uncertain of the future, pain and emptiness in place of the good times you had.

All three, without a doubt. The other big thing is that all the plans you made with the person in your life are totally gone.

I am not very good with change. I would definitely miss the companionship, but the fact that I have to change my routines would bother me a lot. Hmmm...that sounds cold hearted, but it is the truth for me. But, if there would probably be a reason for the ending of the relationship, so I see the ending of it as a positive thing.

Well I guess all of those things would be hard, but I think the routine change would kill me! Lol. I've never had a huge break up since the only man who I've ever truly loved is my lovie now! We've been together for 5 years and I was only 15 when we got together so it'd be so new and I would not know what to do if we broke up. I don't plan on that happening, but me and a girlfriend were talking the other night about break-ups and I told her I don't think I ever could be in another relationship. I REALLY don't think I'd ever be able to if my lovie and I split. I just don't think anyone could possibly fit with me. Lol. Maybe I'm complicated. It'd be hard and I don't think I could love someone else. Sure I'd be devastated if we split and I ain't heartless, but I doubt I could ever see anything at all in another man. I guess I'd be the single old cat lady! Lol

I think getting used to being alone would be hard, but not having that person to share your life with after so many years of doing that would just be like losing some of your life. I'm all for independacy and being a strong, independant woman, but it would be hard no doubt.

Sometimes relationships don't work, but it's a shame I've never really been able to stay friends with my exes.

I don't miss anything about my X-husband or his people. The guy I had on the side I SSOooooo miss the sex. I still remember hjim and what he did how he made me feel. Shame I had to move away but life happens, and he was married at the time too.

The relationship has everything including the friendship, it holds the love, trust, passion, everything that's good in a relationship that's why it's hard for me.

Ugh. All three.
Right now I work midnights, so, once I get used to having someone to text while I"m at work, if that suddenly stops, it feels so empty and boring. :I You really feel the void.

All of it and more. I broke up with most of my ex's, but they made me. I hated to lose their family. Some of them got on my nerves, but I still loved them. I hate losing the relationship, because it some with all the benefits that are frowned upon when you are single. Losing the friendship is hard too, as I really don't have too many friends. I don't have anybody to talk to anymore. Then having to find something else to do with my life sucks as well.

Depends on the reason for leaving. Usually, friendships stay either way unless the relationship ends badly. For me that is. I'm friends with most my ex's. My serious ones were mentally abusive and cheated, so it was more of I didn't wanna leave and them sell all my my stuff for drugs or anything. But I still got out of them both in plenty time. It's just a long process of making sure they don't turn around and do something.

I have to say, for me it was letting go of the relationships, but I had to. Two out of five relationships were abusive, one only wanted me for my mom, and the other, well I was forced to break up with him.

I've maintain friendships with all but one.

Really depends on which relationship I'm talking about. For one, it was routine because I was with them for so long, but for others it was fear of losing a friend.

I hate when things don't work out but it really sucks when the other person takes no responsibility for their own actions/blames you for everything.

I also miss the good times--- it can be tough remembering that everything happens for a reason.

All three. But I think for all women we need some type of closure. Men can let go and go on like they never even knew you.
