Hey, what are you two doing to this thread? Would you both please try and keep on topic and make with the flimsy break-up lies/lines. <-- That's phrased like a question, but it's a request. Say, why is it that we don't place question marks at the end of those sorts of sentences? Or should we and I just made an error there?

Okay, I just thought of another. It's not one I've ever heard, but so what?

"You deserve someone bitter"

*EDIT*
SwissCheese, can I have my tree back?

I need to be alone for a while. (Code: I need to be away from you.) Never used it personally or had it used on me though. Never really broke up with anyone in a serious cataclysmic way. Just sort of faded in and out of relationships~

Jeez I can't seem to avoid the cataclysmic breakups. Either it's me all torn up as hell....or the girl is left with her heart in tatters. I've got a penchant for creating drama in my life when it's just not necessary. Anyway....best one I ever received...about 6 years ago from a long term girlfriend..'I can't do this, you're too crazy' hahaha funny now but devestating and a little bit true at the time. The weirdest part of all, I see a future still where I could yet marry this chick......cosmic

I was fuming yesterday over a lame breakup line given to my friend ("I like you. But I don't like the commute.") I found a pile of horrible quotes and it reminded me of this thread.

I nicked this from http://www.salon.com and in repayment I'll give them a free plug. Ahem. I read Salon daily because it's got a nice mix of political and cultural stories, with an unusually thoughtful and rather unorthodox advice columnist and a great round-up of viral videos on a related blog called VideoDog. Check it out.

Anyway, these were called "Lines That Ended The Affair" and some of them were designed as break-ups, others were clearly unintentional, but most of them would work quite well for the purpose. They're grouped according to author.


"We're too old to worry about being sexy anymore."
"This brain tumor of yours is happening at a really bad time for me; I've got a lot going on at work right now."
"How can you be unhappy? I have everything I want."


"I want to watch you have sex with someone else."
"Can you give me those earrings so I can give them to my next girlfriend?"
"No one will ever love you but me."


"I'd take you home to meet my parents, but they'd wonder what the attraction was."

"I put you on the spreadsheet, but you'll be in a parenthetical until we have sex." -- from the guy that keeps a spreadsheet of the women he's dated/flirted with/etc., so he can keep them straight in his head.

"You know, you dress like someone a lot fatter than you really are."

"If we got married, I could move out of my parents' house and I'd save a lot on car insurance."


"At your weight, there aren't that many guys who would want you."

"I have feelings ... deep feelings ... for you. But, now, I have to TRANSFER those feelings to someone else. Thanks for understanding."

"Will you finish my taxes before we file for divorce?"

--"Did you notice I didn't get you anything for Valentine's Day?"
--"You've never gotten me anything for Valentine's Day."
--"Yes, but this time, I deliberately didn't get you anything."

From my one and only experience dating a Catholic boy in high school:
"My relationship with you is interfering with my relationship with God."


Me: "I'm going to my parent's house -- my mom's only got a few more hours to live and I want to be with her."
Him: "Uh, I've got tickets to the drag races. Mind if I go there while you're at your mom's?"

Him: "I like you and I think you're attractive. But I can't hang out with you because, well, there's this social hierarchy at our school, which is unfortunate, but basically, I can't be seen in public with you."

Me, observing him gazing at me in an odd manner: "What are you thinking about? Why are you staring at me?"
Him: "I'm just thinking about how flawed you are."

Him, on our third date (we've been out for drinks and are now sitting in his apartment, having just smoked some extremely good weed): Oh, by the way, I meant to tell you: Don't get too attached to me. I have other girlfriends.
Me, getting up and putting on my jacket: Is that right? OK, I won't. See ya. Bye.
