My first breakup was nothing short of catastrophic. I got dumped via phone by my g/f in Cali while in the middle of the Rocky Mountains on my way to Utah. It was a messy, messy breakup that wasn't fully over for like 3 months. Ugh.
Breaking up w/ the 2nd g/f was painful but not so much so since I was the dumper, and she was moving 3000 miles away anyway.
