    Worst Relationship/Break-Up Lines
    Thought I'd start a lighter thread. Maybe sometimes humor is good during tough times.

    1. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

    Worst line ever. Does anyone actually believe this? I mean really? The correct line should be:

    --If it's meant to be, you make it be.

    2. I need space.

    No, you don't. Be honest.

    --I need you out of my life... maybe for good.

    3. I think we need a break.

    Yeah right.

    --I want to break up with you.

    So, you guys got some more classic lines?

    "i just dont want to be in a relationship right now, but if i did it would be with you"

    Which really means the first four words and the last one... "i just dont want...you."

    A girl I dated fed me this, and then was on the prowl after another guy within 2 months.

    Or along the lines of the meant to be comment, "well be together again someday, if its our fate"

    Another girl fed something like that to me... which means "if fate would have us trapped down a mine shaft, and theres no way out, then i guess i could go for you one last time if i had to."

    I need more. (More what? Therapy? More sex?)

    I am just not feeling it right now.

    There is no spark (Which is the biggest farse - love takes many months to develop - RUN from these women - they live andie for smitten - lust - they don't get it)
  • Sep 9, 2006, 02:38 AM

    "I don't know what I want" (which of course means I know that I don't want you.)

    "It might have worked out if we hadn't become so close" (your guess is as good as mine on that one)

    'I have to find myself" Before I was married I got dumped so many times I lost count. But this was a favorite one " just get out and bother somebody else" or 'You'll find someone else" uughh!

    Not really a breakup line, but a "line" that a girl thought I used on her was

    "id like to see you, but i have to fix the dishwaher"

    A girl who really liked me had called me up to see if id come over, and I was mildly interested, enough to have entertained the trip, but I was still in HS in my mothers house and the dishwasher WAS broken and she was freaking out about it... soooo... I really WAS trying to fix the dishwasher. The girl told all of her friends I completely fed her the worst line ever to blow her off.

    1 - "I think of you more as a brother" - makes you wonder what kinkiness goes on when you're not around...
    2 - "You remind me of my father" - ditto
    3 - "We can still be friends" - yeah, right - I haven't slept with any of my bowling buddies...

    Classic!! How did I miss this one.

    We can still be friends... you know, the kind of friend who wants to throw up every time you think about the time you wasted on this loser... er, friend.

    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?

    "I love you, but im just not IN love with you".

    Oh c'mon.. What a cop out...

    The first time I heard this I cried for days. Now I laugh out loud.

    I must be getting better.
    Hahaha

    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.

    Did we really forget...

    "It's not you....it's me"??

    No it's really YOU!

    Why we broke up...

    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.

    Okay - just one more at the risk of wearing my welcome thin... A friend of mine relayed this classic to me - true story that happened to him...

    "No Walter*, I'm afraid I can't go out with you again next weekend - I getting married this Saturday"...

    (*names were changed to protect our friendship)

    "We're too different".

    Oh really, since when? We seemed fine 5 minutes ago.

    Translation:

    "I don't want you anymore".

    How about...

    "I just don't want to be in a relationship right now" (2 weeks later he's in a new relationship... hmmm)

    "You're perfect" (what? Trying to make me feel good as you break up w/ me?)

    "You're too good/nice" (Oh, so after complaining about how your past gf's cheated on you and left you for someone else you said you wanted someone who would treat you right... but I guess now you want to go back to someone who will treat you like crap? Ok)

    "If we stay together I'll probaly end up marrying you..." (?? )

    "I still love/care about you" (b s)

    "I still see you as my best friend..." (whatever)

    How about the line leading up to these break up lines, "we have to talk."
    -This crap line just makes me worry, I HATE IT!

    I also just received this line, by text message, about I week ago :(
    This thread has cheered my up a bit, Thanks

    How about - " I think the world of you. I don't want you out of my life. I just want our relationship to be over". Translation: "You're sweet, but I'm tired of sleeping with you, I need to go bang other sluttier girls." : )

    I totally agree. Two months ago, my ex-boyfriend told me he wanted to take a break until he got out of school for the summer. Yet last weekend he came home for the summer, and he has still not tried to contact me.

    Oh and I completely forgot to include his breakup lines...

    "you my "girlfriend" and i've cheated on you time and time again. i can't have a real relationship now. i drink and do stuff with girls. i can't control it. and im not going to stop going out because i have a gf. i don't want to waste the best years of my life cause i have a gf. so alls im saying is....i want to go on a break until i get back from school. "

    This was over an IM by the way. I saved it, I don't really know why.

    Oh, my ex did that too. He gave me the "we need a break, but i still love you and want a future with you" speech... then 2 weeks into it broke up with me, giving me the "the purpose of the break was to give me time to think...." speech.

    This guy seems like a real a. hole. He wants to have fun while at school, and by "going on a break" with you until he gets back from school, he is just securing some "fun" at home too. Its pigs like this that give guys a bad reputation. Please tell me you don't see him anymore!

    Well he came home from school last weekend, and has not contacted me yet. I kind of wish he would've just broke it off completely when he told me he wanted to take a break, because then I wouldn't have that small piece of hope left in my heart telling me that he might come back to me. And you said that he just wants to secure some "fun" at home during the summer, I wish we could be together during the summer, even if it means breaking up when he goes back to school. I doubt he'll come back to me though. His entire family hates me and we got in a big fight after we broke up.

    Well, I hope you can work things out with him, and his family. Who knows, maybe he has matured and will be looking for a serious relationship...
    Anyway I wish you luck with him

    How about 'you just don't understand me'

    And then when you ask what they mean, to elaborate on exactly what it is you don't get, she tells you that she shouldn't have to explain it, you should know.

    And she wonders why you 'don't understand'??

    :confused:

    How about "It's not you.......It's me."

    "I'm not quite over my ex yet." Even though I've been having sex with you for the past 3 months.

    "We should take a break" "So I can get over my ex."

    "I'm not sure what I want right now." 12 hrs ago we know what you wanted!

    "I really need to focus on my job"

    And my all time favorite...
    "I need my space." "I don't want to be with anyone right now." Well, for a couple of days anyway.




    I really like the broken dishwasher though.
    I'll never forget that one! Ha Ha


    Then there's the:

    e-mail breakup, the text message breakup, The best friend tells you breakup, the voicemail breakup, and the never calls you again breakup!

    How about when you check your Facebook, and the girlfriend just changed her status to "single." Then you call and say what's that about, and THEN, she breaks up with you. That one really sucks.

    These impersonal break ups are the worst, have the courage to do it face to face.

    I'm going to have to say that's as easy a break up could probably be to understand.
