please share, why did you and your ex break up?

Broke up with a girl in college because she was a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. I went to Florida State but am from Jersey and a suburb where almost everyone worked in the city so I knew a lot of the victims and saw the effects and the immediate aftermath and everything. She kept trying to convince me and was really insensitive and insistent. I always asked her to just not to talk about it.

She knew that I knew people who died and was friends with kids who lost a parent or other relative. She could have just kept her mouth shut. This was a deal breaker. Dated for like 8 months and she brought it up way too much and fittingly while I was watching the memorial as I do every year and someone I know was going to be on to read her fathers name along with others. She made a backhanded remark and just seemed genuinely not to care about the people, whether she believed in a conspiracy or not have some damn compassion. I had enough and lost it mentally. I just got up and walked towards the door. She asked where I was going and I just left, blocked her number, blocked her Facebook and made it impossible to contact me. She showed up just as I wanted and expected (not as soon as she actually did) and she asked what was going on with me. In the interim I packed her shit she would leave behind and when she came I just said "Ok we are both single now." She kept trying to get me to open so I just slipped out the back and went to one of my friends to hide out. I was obviously pissed and she came right over instead of giving me space which is obviously what I wanted.

I eventually did go the civil route and contacted her and just explained that we had no future and the relationship had run its course. It hadn't everything else was fine I just couldn't get passed this.
