NOT looking forward to 8:00 (vent)
My 19 year old brother has been in an on again off again relationship for 3 years. He has finally felt the need to end it for good, because she has a lot of issues (she is extremely attention seeking and needy.) So she insisted that they exchange Easter baskets even though they are not together anymore (it has been 2 weeks so the break up is still fairly new.) He didn't want to but felt bad since she had made him an Easter basket, so he made her one. This girl has no friends anymore (literally- her best friend just pretty much walked out of her life after meeting her first boyfriend) and an unstable family. We as a family feel sorry for her, but agree that it is best for my brother to sever ties. She is going to come over at 8 so that they can exchange baskets. We all think this is insane (even my brother) but he just feels too sorry for her. I know she is going to leave my parents a wreck and in tears and it is hard for us to watch this girl so upset. I really think this poor girl thinks he is going to get back together with her because they have in the past, but I truly feel he is done. I know this is what is best for my brother, but this whoile basket exchange is a disaster and I really feel for this girl because she has no one . . . . .

That sounds like a recipe for disaster. I really feel bad for that girl, but it seems like your bro will never get away from her if he doesn't cut it off. It's sweet of him to do the baskets. Maybe he can just politely explain it's just a friendly gesture.

Re: NOT looking forward to 8:00 (vent)
awww...unfortunately, people tend to stay in a relationship because they have a past or because they think that just because you are with someone for a long period of time, then you should stay with them. being comfortable and being in love are two totally seperate things. I hope things work out for both of them.

Re: NOT looking forward to 8:00 (vent)
It's sad because she is very immature and very demanding in a needy way. Everything is dramatized and everything has to be a big show. If they got into a fight her catch phrase was "You have to find a way to make it up to me." So once he picked up Wendy's and took her to the beach at sunset to eat. This was not "special enough" for her . . . . This is just a young relationship that has gone too far and has run its course . . . .

Re: NOT looking forward to 8:00 (vent)
 Well, I hope for your brother's sake he can stay strong. I have been on his end of relationships where I stayed too long because I felt sorry for someone. It's not fun and always makes it so much harder

I hate to admit it, but she sounds exactly like me when I was like 15, so I really feel for her, but it's time for both of them to grow out of it and move on.

Yes at 18 (her) and 19 (my brother), they have so much time ahead of them. . . . . She would talk about them getting married and what not, and it does happen for some . . . . .just not them . . . .

Re: NOT looking forward to 8:00 (vent)
Yeah it sounds like they both just need to move on. I was in a relationship like that, and I was horrible, and I really couldn't break out of it until I completely separated myself from the guy for awhile. Then I was on the other side of it in some respects. it's hard. To make an omelette you have to break some eggs. let us know how it goes.

Re: NOT looking forward to 8:00 (vent)
I hope it goes smoothly. Before I dated DH I was on your brother's "side" at his age. I didn't want to break up with my ex, cuz, I felt bad..He broke up with me a few months later.
I hope it all goes smoothly.
Keep us posted,.

I hope he stays strong. It's hard to see someone in tears that you once loved. I don't feel sorry for her because she seems manipulative. You don't get an Easter basket for your ex.
