After ending their four-year relationship in 2010, film producer Olinka Vištica and sculptor Drazen Grubisic opened the Museum of Broken Relationships in Croatia. The pair chose to keep things that held shared memories in the museum to preserve this emotional heritage. 



Since then, the museum has gathered break-up donations from people all over the world. Thousands of items from the collection have also been exhibited through pop-up shows in more than 20 countries.



It may seem weird to crowd-source people's sorrow and share it with the public, but many hail the museum as a place of comfort and connection.  


People can find solace in the company of strangers’ stories. Sharing with others can help relieve the pain and knowing the universality of loss and love makes one stronger. 


That’s why we invited you to share the story of your ex boyfriends and girlfriends last week. Thank you for your comments.



We feel proud that we were able to conduct a collective self-reflective ritual. Hope you like the stories.☟



We broke up because...


@江南打铁

He’s a hilarious guy, tall and cute. Unfortunately, he loved LOL more than me. I love him but I would never let myself step into a relationship where my boyfriend doesn’t love me. 


@Michael 迈克尔

She was perfect. I wasn’t. 


@Kyrie

She is not gorgeous but with great temper. I remembered that we didn’t argue during that period. We’re both very independent and have our own thoughts. Finally, I found that I wasn’t her Mr.Right. So we left each other in peace. 


@上善若水

We were in love for two years. He is a nice boy, but my parents couldn’t accept him. So we broke up. Maybe I will never meet a boy who loves me as deeply as him. It’s all my fault. 


I can barely forget our memories


@SherL

Three years have passed since his departure. I cut off all means of contact, but I still can’t forget him. I loved him so much that I hated him deeply. 


@H.S.H.

Since you left many years ago, I have lived life in your way, listened to the songs you liked, sat and stood with your gestures, developed more and more habits you had and viewed the world from your eyes. I don’t know when I will stop loving you. 


@Asmady

I know you married and already have kids. Wish you happy forever. I’m single for 6 years and it’s hard to fall in love again…


Love makes me better and stronger


@心怀宁静

He will always be my hero. I’m trying to be a better me, not for him, but because of him. 


@韩香萍

Thank you for teaching me how to respect myself. You pushed me into the arms of a better man. 


@你知道不知道我

Hard to say, when in love, we love. When break up, we hate. And then as time goes by, nothing seems really matters. No love, no hatred. It’s just not the right time. Hold the hand that you have tightly. Be happy, always. 


I wish you all the best


@Sharon

I have found my soulmate, my future husband. Good luck. 


@lulu  

It has been nearly a year since we broke up... It's quite strange that I can't come up with any of your failings now... Thank you, for you once appeared in my life. All the laughter, tears, I will lock them in my memory. Take care.


There is also the lucky duck


@Para Para Sakura

I’m a lucky duck. I only have a boyfriend who is my husband now. I love him and cherish him. I hope that we will love and care the other as well as be faithful to each other. 


And the singles


@瓶子二号

I don’t have ex-lover, coz I don’t have a lover ever……a sad story.
