Well, I have been playing guitar for about five months now, and during this time, the thickest string on my guitar, teh E string, has broken twice. Now, it seems kind of odd to me that the only string I have managed to break is the thickest string. Also, both times this has happened, all of the other strings went out of tune at the same time the string broke. I was wondering if any guitarists at KMC could help me figure out what is going on and also help me keep this from happening again. As of now, my only solution is buy multiple backup strings, and just restring it each time. But I would like to know why the other strings go out of tune when the string breaks.

You said "thickest," ie, the LOW E string. "High" refers to strings that are higher pitched, not the ones that are the furthest from the floor when you're playing.
yes i did. And as to why I started this post, the string was only a month old when it broke, not to mention it was teh low E string, which does not commonly break
