How about "we don't communicate?" (Translation: "I'm afraid to share my feelings with you.") There's also the old classic "It's just not working out." (Translation: "I'm too much of a coward to tell you what's really on my mind.") I actually once had a woman tell me "You're not affectionate, you're a hard person to get to know", etc. and wanted me to believe that was why she was ending our relationship. However, as I look back, I have to admit that I made the classic mistake that everyone on this forum warns against ; being over clingy and obsessive. I really think she needed some space and I wasn't giving it to her. It's very interesting that her excuse to me was practically the exact opposite of what was really bothering her. How's that for irony and a lack of courage of one's convictions?
My ex used this one as she was breaking up with me:
"I know you love me, but you don't like me."
Right, that's why I suggested we go to counseling, figure out why things aren't working, how can we try and make things work. That's why I didn't leave her, she left me. But that clearly shows that I didn't like her.
She told me we couldn't afford beer anymore and
I'd have to quit. Then I caught her spending:
-$65.00 on make-up,
-$150 for a cut & color,
-$30 for a manicure,
-$40 for a pedicure,
-$50 on vitamins,
-$300 on clothes and
-$600 for a gym membership.
I asked how come I had to give up stuff and not
her. She said she needed it to look pretty for me.
I told her that was what the beer was for.
......I don't think she's coming back.
