Posted by Virgoreannah - I do remember the exact circumstances when the ice broke that started the avalanche - but I don't celebrate it - remembering how awful it was for the year or two prior to that and that it was such a big waste of my time and life that once I moved on to better days it just got left behind and became a memory like the rest of my life
February 5th marked the date I walked out on my ex. But to me, it was Superbowl Sunday and I was too busy with a friend preparing and hosting our first SB party which turned out to be a hit, accompanied by delicious food and great company. It has been one year since then and that moment never crossed my mind until today. I recall some months ago wanting to do something big on that day. Have a Breakup Anniversary to celebrate a year of not having him in my life like go on a trip, a get-away, or explore another city. I realized how I no longer have that want because the year itself was a celebration of the positive moments in my life and how I was able to forget about that day for a brief time to enjoy it.
But I am curious if any of you have celebrated ‘Breakup Anniversaries’ or would you celebrate it? If so, how did you celebrate it? What did you do? Did it help or hurt you by bringing significance to that day?

Posted by tctaSorry that happened. It is nice to know that you can finally find peace through it all. In the beginning, I used to feel hatred, but now when I reflect on it I feel calm and remember it as an experience to grow.Posted by Virgoreannah - I do remember the exact circumstances when the ice broke that started the avalanche - but I don't celebrate it - remembering how awful it was for the year or two prior to that and that it was such a big waste of my time and life that once I moved on to better days it just got left behind and became a memory like the rest of my life

Posted by EvatheDivaGood morning. I broke up w/my ex-bf ALMOST a year ago (26 Feb 16); five days shy of my birthday. I EVEN invited him to my bd party at the club; he showed up, I danced with a stranger I asked while waiting at the bar; came back, and found out a week later he had asked for my girlfriend's cell #; idiot gave it to him, and I was even MORE pissed than ever! 😡 That SEALED the nails on his coffin between he and I. Every month from then on, I counted the month(s) until it lead to the 9th month and I was like, "Geez, it's been that long! I could have had a baby (gestation; reversed) by now!". Well, in 17 days it's going to be a whole year!!! 😄 How am I going to celebrate it? Well, it seems the 26th of February is a BAD #/month for me since I also had the judge grant my divorce on the 26th of February and I will celebrate by going out to the club on the 25th and at the stroke of midnight I will toast a shot to BOTH my exes 🍹!!! "All my exes live in Texas". In my ears I keep hearing Adriana Grande, "I've got one less problem without out" 😱

Posted by PeanutButterandEllyDo you still keep in touch with him? I understand that as there is one ex I still speak to, but it is now on a friendly level.
I didn't realize it'd been a year till the day was almost over actually. This was back in January.
I didn't celebrate it. My ex is a good man, things just don't always work out. So celebrating him being gone would be disrespectful to him and the goodness we shared I think. But I did write in my journal all the wonderful and not so wonderful things I'd done with my year. And I wrote a post on dxp about how happy and at peace I felt with myself.

Posted by EvatheDivaSweet question. She and I are cool. He was the JERK to have asked her for her #. She told me this a week after my birthday party at another club I attend. I asked her, "Why didn't you tell me this that night at my party?". Her response, "I didn't want to spoil your night". Uh, huh! 😡Posted by VirgoreanPosted by EvatheDivaGood morning.

Are you and your friend no longer friends or have you forgiven her?

Posted by VirgoreanBut you said she gave him her number anyway so she is also in the wrong. Did they ever do anything?

Posted by EvatheDivaYes, but Hon, my girlfriend Estella is Leo; she doesn't THINK before she does something. She could have EASILY put him in HIS place that night he asked for her number! I would have chewed him a new hole; but she isn't me. Estella is five years older than me (she's 55 yrs old) and I couldn't believe the ex Saggy would STOOP that LOW to ask a woman 10 years OLDER than he is for her #....he just couldn't do any better! It would have been best if he had asked a woman at the club to dance w/him; but he didn't. Instead, he saw my friend Estella as the escape goat...she fell for it! He lied to her (typical Saggy man), he told her, "I have a ranch with horses come over anytime". Well, LOL, he doesn't OWN a ranch (he's not even on the lease). He lives in a 1980s trailer with his ex-gf!!! 😱 I wasn't the jealous type as y'all have read by now and I'm sure Estella stopped by his trailer; he and his room mate have four to five dogs and they peed inside the trailer! First thing you SMELL is the odor of the pee!! Gross!!! Enough said. 😎Posted by VirgoreanBut you said she gave him her number anyway so she is also in the wrong. Did they ever do anything?

Posted by tizianiThank you. I handled it by not doing anything. The memory jog is me reflecting on how I felt then a few months after the break up when it was fresh and felt at the time it would be a big 'F you' to him to now where I no longer feel the same and my mind is more at peace. The break up didn't end on good terms, but I wondered if people in similar situations would go through with it and why.
That seems very morbid and self-flagellating but I can relate in spirit. Good luck with however you choose to handle it, sincerely.

Posted by tizianiIs it 'U Got it Bad?'Posted by VirgoreanI would picture her having sex with someone else and get off to that, so that's as masochistic as it comes really. But I dunno about making an anniversary out of it :\Posted by tizianiThank you. I handled it by not doing anything.

The most I can think of in terms of rituals is listening to Usher in the car on full blast, in all seriousness.

Posted by SagLuvScorpI hope you're trolling on the gf birth date part...
How can someone remember date of their breakups? I can't even remember birth date of my gf :X

Posted by SagLuvScorpPosted by VirgoreanJust trolling my friend 🙂Posted by SagLuvScorpI hope you're trolling on the gf birth date part...

If you truly care for someone, dates mean significance. A prime example would be getting a divorce. Since you can't remember any of your break ups with your exes then they must not have been as special to you.
I can not forget Anything, even if i want to...click to expand

Nope.
I don't acknowledge the breakup in any significant way once it's over.
Especially if the break up is my decision.

Posted by JustJulesHugs back!Posted by tctaYou too? At least mine had only been a "friend" for 9 years... I felt more betrayed by her than him.
