It Happened to Me: Your Worst Breakup Stories

Remember the last time you called up your girlfriend and started the conversation off with something like, “Girl, would you believe he…?” Some stories are wilder than others, but every woman has one (or two, or three!) to share – especially when love is involved.

Breakups, in particular, can be especially brutal. If you're dealing with the aftermath of one, we wanted you to know that you're definitely not alone. When we asked our Facebook readers to share the worst way a guy has ever broken up with them, the answers really blew our minds. Read what other women had to say.
