Beware the fakeup. Though it comes in many forms, a fakeup is most easily defined as a fake breakup, or a breakup that doesn't take.
Some couples are repeat offenders — you know the people I'm talking about. They break up frequently and in dramatic fashion, but you just know they're going to get back together. (Note: In these cases, it's best not to badmouth the recent ex, since he or she probably won't be an ex for long.)
Some breaker-uppers cut off all ties and move on, while others have a tendency to sleep with their exes. It's tempting for sure, but hooking up with your ex can often precipitate a fakeup and lead to a misguided reconciliation. Often, after several fakeups, the repeat offenders call it quits altogether.
Then, there are couples who fake up but genuinely seem to make it work the second time around. This type of fakeup is different from the first and not as much of a fake out. How about you? Have you ever been guilty of a fakeup? Do you know couples who fake up a lot?

Luckily most of my friends are reasonable enough to know what they want and situations like that can be avoided.
I myself married my first boyfriend right away, so no, I have never faked up (foken up?) either. (Aww the word play is gone in the past tense!)
(By the way, when I first read this, I thought this was a word play on make up. How in the world would you wear fake makeup? haha.)
1i have a friend who breaks up with her guy every few weeks, after they break up she talks sh*t about him and says she isn't gunna go back to him but a few days later they are together again.

i thought the same thing lol
3i did this a lot with a certain boyfriend when i was in high school, but i haven't done it since. generally, if i break up with someone, i cut off all contact pretty quickly, so there's no chance of us getting back together.
4No, I have never done it, But I had this friend who would break up every so often with her boy friend; hook up with some other guy and then go back together. Last time I heard they broke up for good.
5I personally think that is not very healthy to do that. If you broke up with him or her was for a reason; is better to cut all tights with that person and move on.
Unfortunately. I spare my friends the details now.
6I had friends who broke up approximately 100000000000 times. It was so annoying to hear the gory details over and over and over again with accompanying dramatics. Eventually, some of us starting taking bets on how long it would last every time they got back together.
7I am not one for dramatics. I am also not wishy-washy by any means. I know exactly what I want. I won't break up with you and then get back together with you. Ever. There is no room for that BS in my life...so I have never done it, and probably never will.
Luckily, the people I know who did do that stopped before the age of 19.
8I did this with my first boyfriend. It was definitely a learning experience and I would never put myself through that again. I have to say that I just didn't know any better. I did come out learning what I really want from a partner and now I have a wonderful fiance.
9I did this. A month prior to graduation, my boyfriend (now ex) and I agreed to break up when I graduated. I didn't think I could handle being together in the meantime, knowing that the end was coming, so I broke up with him. We got back together the next day, when I realized I missed him and cared about him too much to not make the most out of our remaining time together.
10I do NOT see myself ever using the term "fakeup".
I'll take the old school route and say, one and off relationship.
11No, never to the point of a fakeup, but there was one guy who I casually dated on and off for awhile and each time it "ended" was for the same reason as before! We are just friends now.
12One of my really close friends has been see-sawing on whether or not she wants to be single or stay with her long-term boyfriend. After dramatically breaking up over the phone and talking to my friends and i about her final decision, she goes and sleeps with him in a few days...and now they're inseparable..but not "together." none of my business, i know...but it's still annoying to hear about!!!
13@totygoliguez, sounds like that person just didn't want to be in a monogamous relationship, it wasn't that she didn't like her boyfriend.
That's pretty sad, really. Maybe they could figure out an open relationship thing, and be happier?
14I am guilty, haha. I have been on and off with my current boyfriend for about 4 years. I am the epitome of high school relationship moved to college. It's terrible for everyone involved, so I just stopped discussing it with my friends. It makes me look like such a fool, but I love this guy more than anyone. We've been with other people on our "breaks" but we just haven't met anyone better. After everything we've been through (his mother passing away, my parents' divorce, school and financial issues) we have grown very close. I know I will always have him as a friend.
15I know it can happen but I never did it. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say, know what I mean?
16Yes, well, over two days, and wasnt really that dramatic, just pretty fast tracked! we both knew it wasnt working out, so we talked about what was bothering us about the other, broke up, spoke some more, realised it was fine, got back together and went to sleep. the next day we went out to the pub on the principle of 'spending time together'. i left early, realised walking back there was no way it could work and that we should talk about it/break up right away. an hour later he came over crying saying it couldnt work and i spent a good half hour saying it was fine and that he wasnt being selfish and to not worry etc. after that half hour he calmed down then it was my turn to cry and he did the same thing! guess it seems kinda weird when written down but weve always respected each other's personal lives the best we can.. nowadays we're housemates and just good friends. we still have our arguments but its like with any of my other housemates, we both have habits that annoy the other.
