The Mysteries Of Break-Up Lines
My girl broke up with me. Nothing serious; it happens all over the world every day. But one thing I have been pondering is why?
We have broken up a few times before, and her reasoning was the same as it is now - "I have a lot of things going on and life is just so hard right now. I need to do this for me."
The day before I noticed she had sent a text message to some guy saying "hey handsome". Interesting.
It seems as if most girls just can't bring themselves to give up the real reason as to why they called it quits.
So lets hear some of the lines or better yet excuses, your significant other said when they dumped you.

lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.......................
Let me see, I broke up with him because of distance& I couldn't handle it. Then again, I also said it was better for us to experience life single - and I did that..
Guys aren't exactly straightforward about this sort of thing either, lol. It's just human nature not to want to hurt someone's feelings, really... And to hope that by saying something un-painful, a break up will go smoothly so that there's no drama caused...
From men:
"I'm tired of you breaking my heart."
"I cheated on you and I've decided I would rather date her."
"I don't understand you because you won't let me and I'm tired of trying."
"This isn't working out."
"I have to pursue my music."
From me:
"I find you disgusting and the thought of being with you makes me nauseous."
"We might have been good together, but I'm in love with my best friend and I owe it to myself to pursue this."
"I don't want to end up hating you for what you've done and I can't find the ability to forgive you right now."
"You are a whiny bitch who doesn't understand what it means to treat someone like a human."
"You slept with a fourteen year old?"
For serious. I wish women WOULD be honest when they break up with guys. I think I've always been worried that my sissy past boyfriends couldn't handle the truth.
...wait, what? You were deaf all this fucking time, and I didnt even know it? Because that's the only way that you could have not heard me tell you how I feel about you.
I'm always honest, because frankly, I would want guys to be honest...
Girls:
"I'm not in a relationship place right now.."
"I don't feel like you care about me."
"You cheated on me, I know it."
"If you love me, you have to let me go."
Guys:
"This is my chance to make it...!"
"We don't mesh."
"I'm tired of your drama."
I've never been dumped or broken up with, I have always been the dumpee.
My reasons are usually very up front. For instance...
We are breaking up because you are a lazy, broke, momma's boy, no good bastard, or what was the other one.. Oh yea. I want you out of my house because you are a porn addicted freak, who claims to be so god fearing, who should have NEVER masturbated in my basement.
Nice huh, lol.
Well, to avoid saying the blatant truth, which is usually something along the lines of "I'm bored with you," I sometimes have been known to babble a lot of nonsensical stuff involving me not needing to be in a relationship for some reason or another.
It's more or less improv and ad-lib and totally out of the blue, so my exes all inevitably decide that I've left them for another man and hate me for years afterward.
never been dumped, never have dumped anyone either =P
But I think it's just as much because you dont want to hurt them, as you cant exactly pinpoint it. My friends have dumped boys "just 'cause...." which in MY opinion, is a HORRIBLE reason, becuase he doesnt even know what bothered you, which even if YOU dont want him now, could help him later *shrug*
my guy friends have dumped girls because "she cuts herself and comes to school and shows them off...I can't deal with that drama"
I've been dumped for:
entirely consistant selfish behaviour
because she wanted to marry interacially (i.e. not me - and she did)
I've broken up with people for
because she wasn't sure over her feelings of another
because we were showing signs of an unhealthy power struggle that neither of us could win
and it fell apart:
because she moved away
wasn't interested in the morning.
kinda boring statistics really...but honest.
@SerenaDante@xanga - you look creepy. Very alien-like.
@jesus_el_savior_christ - So terribly sorry.
I was dumped by my boyfriend at the time because we didn't "have a connection"--we didn't have much in common, although other couples who are completely different from each other work things out. I guess he wasn't willing to try...:(
WOW THE WORST THIN I EVER SAID WAS IMGAY EVEN THOUGH IM FAR FROM IT
I told a guy that i knew he cheated on me.
but he really didnt hahaha.
i just wanted to break up
LOL!! Ouch! I used to break up with my bf every month. lol I know I'm crazy and stupid. But I guess that's fine because we are still together. :)
Whenever I tried to break up with him I would always say that I want him happier. Our relationship is pretty complicated so I tend to resort to breaking up which I know isn't the best thing that I can do if I really love him. But whatever, i love him. lol
It seems to me that females always seem to have more choices in thier back pockets than males. I think most males, while trying to put on a front, actually are enthralled when a female likes them - but there is always that nagging suspecsion that she will find some guy who is funnier or more attractive and dump him in a heartbeat... maybe its just me. But females always seem to say they need to work on themselves or something and then are out with another guy in no time at all. Of course, females could just be confused - but them I am the the one sterotyping I suppose.
Idk if I ever gave him the real reason.
But the last relationship I was in (with his best friend), I wasn't over. And I couldn't stand him being the rebound. So I let him go. But we're back together now. So it all worked out. I just needed to get over the guy.
it doesn't mean anything that she sent that txt message´.. it doesnt mean she's in love with the guy or that she left you for him.. maybe she was being honest.. or maybe she wasnt, but because she cares about you and doesnt want to get you hurt by saying you're not enough of a man for her... there's always that...
That text was probably just her joking around with someone.
A line I've heard:
"You'll be happier with him." (The "him" was one of my best friends. but I didn't like him in that way and everyone knew it.)
I've been dumped once, but other than that I've always done the dumping.
I've never tried the it's not you, it's me because when I dump someone, it is usually him, Not me.
how about.. "We don't have a strong enough connection." "We're too different." and "I can't handle the distance."
What I wish i had said.. "I don't even find you attractive anymore." "You are an arrogant, self-righteous asshole", "You bore me to tears. Is there even anything slightly interesting about you?" "Your type of girl is some where out there, so stop trying to turn me into her, asshole."
i broke up with him after he had been flirting with another girl ("will you marry me?") and had the audacity to try to blame it on me (i would never have flirted with another guy even if we were having problems). then he said we were never really in a real relationship anyway. wish he had clued me in all those times (a few days before he said he loved me) he talked about marrying me, called me his future bride, best thing that ever happened to him, told me he loved me first, etc.
it's asinine when either sex is cowardly and offfers a lame excuse/justification for breaking up.
p.s. when i broke up w/ him i told him i deserved better; that i deserved a man who loves me, would be faithful, pursue me, and whom i could trust/respect.
@OhItzJustMe@xanga - wow, that's not right ((hugs))
It's never that dramatic. She just fades away in small bits, like a rain cloud on a sunny day. Goodbye Bitch, I hope you choke on a chicken bone.
@TATASOCUTE@xanga - hahahha. you lil' spitfire. hahah
