If we were playing Never Have I Ever, and it was your turn, and you said,
“Never have I ever…called it quits with a guy and then, months later, heard the very same speech, almost to the word, that he used to justify the calling of quits… while watching an old episode of The Gilmore Girls.”
I would totally have to do a shot.
Tell me this wasn’t the zzzzzunng!! (or however you spelled it).
I agree….tell us it wasn’t zzuhhh or whomever. I was still waiting for details to that story!
Wow. What did he say?
All I can say is…ouch.
i just thought you should know..i stumbled on this fabulous little site a few weeks ago and have since spent a certain amount of time each night reading the archives.
i just caught up
and am thrilled that i can continute to read in real-time.
Hmm.
I would then assume that he was either:
a) closet fan of GG
or more than likely…
b) ex-boyfriend of a GG fan whereby that girl used the CiQ (Calling it Quits) message, he liked it so much that he committed the message to memory so that he would have a profound CiQ message to women in the future. You, sadly, had to be one of them.
For my own ‘Never Have I Ever’ game, I would have to say being broken up with via post-it note(a la, Sex and the City) is just as bad as being told via text-message. I’m the recipient of both those.
wow.
it sounds like you let a real winner get away there.

Wow, thats shocking!
Although he did at least memorise the speech, which is something.
Dear god, I would have to do a shot the first time, muchless on the retelling.
I am so sorry and would have to do a shot also. Six months, to the date, I heard the exact words verbatim. Two break ups and he couldn’t even think of new phrasing…..again, sorry!
What was the speech!? You have to at least give us an idea of what he said.
AND who it might have been. (C’mon… hints!!!)
So, unless you were trying to figure out yourself how to break up w/him, it always sucks in some capacity to be broken up with. I’m sorry Fish. As a good (happily married guy) friend of mine says, they’re all maggots!! It helps me deal to a point. On another note, I got dumped less than a week ago. Stumbled across Greg Behrendt’s book “It’s Called a Breakup Because Its Broken” just yesterday. Uh, yeah, finished it in less than 24 hours. I’d say even if you’re not going through a breakup or a monumental on, VERY good strategies outlined, and with a comical tone. Worth a read.
Hang in there chick. We’re all pulling for you.
Oh, uh… is it too late to do a shot??? If so, does it count that I had just a smidge too much wine tonight?
I’m SO gonna have to talk one of my friends into shots this week! (twist my arm too…)
I’d take him back. Call him up! You can’t get let a GG-watcher get away!
Much like Chaka-Khan, I feel for you.
I do a shot with “… had a guy use the “i’m a spy – can i stay at your place” pick up line from True Lies”
I really do see it as a sign that A) it’s not such a big loss and B) it’s SUCH a good story for later!
so do you think that the gilmore girls has a writer who enjoys to read your blog?
Bummer! Virtual girls night out! With lots of Mojito’s and stupid men jokes.
wow. What if you’d stayed together, he eventually proposed, and then, much, much later, you found out his proposal, anniversary cards, special whispered somethings were all recycled TV fodder? Lucky escape! !
thank goodness for gilmore girls…..expecially since there is no more felicity.
Fish,
Sorry about that fish. The hell with him.
sorry to hear that H…
I hate when a guys gives you the same reason for breaking up as you’ve used before…
If there is anything I can do to help…let me know…
The “relationship” lasted like two weeks. I wasn’t broken up about it at all. But now I want to punch him in the kidneys. LAME!
That does sound incredibly lame. The least he could have done was use some original material.
Sorry Fish. Was that the zuhhhh guy?

Mike: I can’t stop laughing at that.
Heather: at least it wasn’t a speech from the O.C.
Sorry H. Some men suck
and that’s when a gal takes the shot, stands up on a chair and calls, “NEXT!”
I’m with sass, NEXT!
me too, NEXT!
Well fish I just stumbled on this page, and I totally understand. Take this advice.. Dont ever go back to a man that is a smooth talker. I didnt even know that my man was married for 5 months that time we were dating. He was a player! Yes i broke up with him,yes he got a divorce, and yes I took him back. After 3 yrs. now, its still hard to trust him. But for everybody out their JUST SAY NO!!!
As a Gilmore Girls addict, I’d love to know what the speach was. What a jerk.
As a veteran watcher of GG Seasons 1-5, I’ve been mulling guy breaks up with girl instances — there are few, as the Girls do most of the dumping. There’s the Dean-Rory breakup, Luke-Lorelai breakup (1), Chris-Lorelai breakup (at Suki’s wedding). If you’re taking guesses, Fish, I’m guessing LL breakup #1.
(From This Fish: Nope! It wasn’t even necessarily a break-up speech. And it was Logan to Rory. At the vow renewal reception.)
Wow, how detail you GG fans are, like Trekies almost.
PS: Mike is bitter because his wife watches, and the GGs talk too fast for Mike’s feeble man-brain to understand.
So what happened? Nosy folks want to know.
Sometimes I think misuderstandings cause break ups. Read bout Bernie. Under Inflammatory Questions.
Was your break up like this one?
Fish, I really don’t mean to laugh at this, but I can’t help it. So please tell me you’re laughing too that way I’m laughing with you and not at you.
I misread and at first saw “Golden Girls”. Gilmore Girls is WAAAAYYY better. Phew….
From tv.com’s episode recap of Wedding Bell Blues:
“Rory then asks him why he has not asked her out yet and points out the various signs that seem to indicate that he is interested. Logan hesitates then tells her that he considered the idea for some time and decided on no because he is not boyfriend matierial and Rory is girlfriend material.”
Is that the one? Sucks.

(From This Fish: BINGO!)
Hey, dumped is dumped. Doesn’t matter how it’s done. You’re single now. Why are you watching TV? Put down the remote, get a personal trainer and a slinky black dress. Do it right and bad television will be the furthest thing from your mind…
Ouch.
Just goes to show that there are so many men out there with no balls!!
lol. thats what happens when girls go for stupid guys. try a smart one for a change!
Atleast you got a speech! I got nothing but hit on by his best friend as a sign of ‘he’s given me permission to make a pass because he’s no longer interested’. Yeah…
