July 4th! I was dumped AND I was the dumper! Something about that holiday, man.

[drownedinink.livejournal.com]

What about one week after the first date?

Sad to say, I've never been in a relationship that lasted longer than a month - in fact, I don't know if anything I've been in qualifies as a relationship, unless a tremendous five-year crush counts as a 'relationship.'

Damn, I *am* Morrissey.

Hi There!

I was dumped a few days after an anniversary, once. I'm counting it.

[skipbreakfast.livejournal.com]

I dumped someone on THEIR birthday.

dumping <> being dumped

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

man what are you like illiterate or something?

Re: dumping <> being dumped

[skipbreakfast.livejournal.com]

NO. I was just adding to it. I selected the times when I have been dumped.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

but now EVERYONE KNOWS who to blame

[skipbreakfast.livejournal.com]

SHE should have been dumped at least two years sooner.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

I broke up with someone a week before my birthday who should have been dumped, oh, four and a half years earlier.

[verybadlady.livejournal.com]

hehe, I haven't ever really been dumped. I rule.

[scarlett723.livejournal.com]

me either, well, there was a failed get back together attempt, but that doesn't really count as dumping

[geah.livejournal.com]

That's because you always go out with pathetic guys who could never do any better.

[verybadlady.livejournal.com]

as Laural pointed out, those individuals are often more likely to dump you.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

um...well I had been dating this guy for awhile and about a couple of hours after losing my virginity to him he said he wasn't sure if we should see each other anymore.
That was kind of interesting and significant.
(mind you he changed his mind about a week later and we date for another two or three months but that was only because I didn't have the courage to tell him to fuck off. I went and slept with a guy in an elf costume complete with the funny pointy shoes and then got courage to tell my boyfriend what I had done and that I didn't want to see him anymore...this was about two days before Christmas)

[altamira16.livejournal.com]

"I am dumping you for a guy with funny pointy shoes." That has to be the best line used to dump anyone ever.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

*laughs* well I didn't dump him for the elf.
The elf was a pleasant extremely drunken one-night stand.
But I would like to thank that elf for encouraging me to realize I could do better then a slack-jawed Shoreline guy.

[a-muse-d.livejournal.com]

fucking a guys from Shoreline. grr.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I was young. I didn't know I could do better then a guy who looked kinda like Fred Durst.

[a-muse-d.livejournal.com]

how young? i'm 24 (25 in May - counting down...).

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I was 19 at the time.

[vileinfestation.livejournal.com]

You had a one-night stand with a drunken elf. That's fantastic!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

yes, one of santa's little helpers offered me many drinks.

[vileinfestation.livejournal.com]

Ah, I was picturing something more woodland, or, at least, Keeblerish. Santa's helpers always did seem a little lecherous.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

He had on a green hat and sort of a Peter-pan like outfit and the pointy shoes.

[aubkabob.livejournal.com]

my last boyfriend broke up with me... i had told him about my two month curse and how i was worried, and how hurt i still was that the boyfriend before him had gone to new orleans for a weekend and came back, right around the two month mark, and dumped me, and how i was worried about his new years fiasco in new orleans of all places.

he laughed and told me to not worry... went to new orleans for new years, came back and broke it off, right around the two month mark.

i'm still angry at louisiana.

[ex-lovecraf.livejournal.com]

I have filled out your poll, but my answer does not show up. This is because I have not been dumped on any of those days. I have, in fact, never been dumped.

Of course, I have never been in a relationship on any of those days. The longest relationship I was ever in started after Valentine's and ended before Christmas.

[discogravy.livejournal.com]

every single anniversary. to get back together either the same day or day after.

[katyakoshka.livejournal.com]

To qualify my answer re: anniversary dumping: This was a v. good thing. I wanted to break up with him, but without his manipulative bullshit, so I waited for him to "dump" me and I said, "Okay." That was the stupid hs senior year most actively dysfunctional relationship I've had (histrionics galore on his part).

Otherwise, I don't tend to get dumped all that often (the last one merely beat me to the punch; I thought I'd wait until I was all unpreggers, but...), and when I do, it's not on holidays, generally.

Addendum

[katyakoshka.livejournal.com]

However, I have broken up with at least one person on a significant weekend (his b-day). We got back together for a while, then I dumped him again on Labor Day. Dumped another just before the 4th of July. And the anniversary cited in the above comment was Thanksgiving; right before Christmas he did the suicide gesture thang.

Yeah.

the above choices are n/a

[a-muse-d.livejournal.com]

either a couple of days before or a couple of days after Valentine's Day. though the couple of days after pretty much qualified as a before, since he was out drinking with coworkers instead of home with me. and the couple of days before happened this year. i'm pretty pissed these days.

[bitchness.livejournal.com]

I answered on our anniversary, but that's not completely accurate. I received my divorce decree in the mail on our 9th wedding anniversary.
