dumpee
Left by lover
A dumpee is someone who has been dumped—the person on the receiving end of a breakup rather than the one initiating it: As the dumpee, she had no say in the matter.
The word is informal and often carries a note of sympathy or commiseration.
Compare dumper, the one who ends the relationship.
