I have a friend that recently broke up with her 7-8 month boyfriend. He was great and I loved hanging out with him. But for whatever reason she announced that she ended it with him and that he was upset. Well, duh. It seemed really out of the blue.

The other day she's talking on the phone to another friend and is all laughing about the situation and saying how she started a trend with break-ups and that their other friend needs to split with her bf too. I'm just kind of like - so this is a joke to you? He was awesome and you just flung him aside like he was nothing, and callously moved on, already thinking about the next guy you plan to date. I mean, she always seemed to act as if she was dating down, like she could do so much better. So sure, maybe he deserves better. But it just really took me aback to hear her all joking and celebratory, taking having dumped him so lightly.

I feel like ever since my heart was torn out of my chest, I'm incredibly sympthetic towards other people being broken up with. Like I always feel for the "victim" or whatever. Automatically have negative feelings towards the break-ee. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it justified? Or was I just unsympathetic before I experienced it myself?

aww :( I think overall, what's she's being is just plain old mean-spirited. I can't get down with that either.

Ouch thats totally mean. I would never have done that to someone.

One of these days, someone is going to break her heart the way she has done to others :(

Karma is a b!tch

no, that was just mean on her part. Karma is going to get her

Honestly, she could be just as upset about the break up and that is how she copes.

I know I have been the one to break up with a person many times and honestly as upset as I am about it, it is easier to act like the person deserved it and you don't care.

She probably had her reasons to break up with him.
