Answer 1

El rompimento fue desconcernante.

Answer 2

There isn't, at least to my knowledge, a noun. But separación, terminación could be used. But the use of verbs is more common with terminar, romper, dejar all being used.

La separación de mi novia me hace muy triste. Trying to stay true to your original sentence. But this is not at all like a native speaker would approach it. Sometimes it is very hard to follow a literal translation.

Some examples:

Rompí con mi novia Corté con mi novia Lo dejé con mi novia Mi novia y yo lo dejamos

There sure is a noun, see my post. - Daniela2041, Apr 13, 2016

Answer 3

I agree in part with Gringo. A more natural way: Cuando nos cortamos me quedé muy molesto, afectado, triste, etc.

You have to choose among the adjectives to indicate the exact feeling, "up-setting" doesn´t translate well.

The noun "rompimiento" sounds very clinical and even though it´s a real word, I have never heard anyone use it who is in an amorous relationship.

Pero igual son los sentimientos que el vivió tras la ruptura - 000a35ff, Apr 13, 2016

In California you hear "rompimiento" often. Even our textbooks use "romper con" as the Spanish verb for to break up with someone. Our textbooks are written by native Spanish speakers from various countries. - Daniela2041, Apr 13, 2016

Okay. There is a noun. I agree with Julian. I have never heard it used. - gringojrf, Apr 13, 2016

Answer 4

This is a rough translation:

Fue recalcado en la desintegración

Today is not the best day of the translator;) - 000a35ff, Apr 13, 2016

Answer 5

La ruptura fue molesta, perturbadora , desconcertante

Lo qu viene a ser un desengaño amoroso

Ah! "Ruptura" That's a much better word. Gracias. I had not heard that in years. I need to go back to Spain. :) - Daniela2041, Apr 13, 2016
