The worst breakup lines ever

owhere is the difference between men and women so glaring as when it comes down to the demise of a relationship. Specifically, the unexpected, unwanted, one-sided break-up otherwise known as the dumping.
I understand that a crying and/or screaming girlfriend can be a scary thing, but when you think your relationship is going great and the guy just stops returning your phone calls and texts, it's confusing and depressing. Oh, and highly annoying.

I was all harrumph-y about the injustice of the disappearing act until I began surveying women about the most painful breakup lines they'd had the bad luck to receive.

1) "You're amazing, but I'm just not ready to be in a relationship right now."

This actually wouldn't have been so bad had he not moved in with his new girlfriend two months later.

2) "We can't move in together because my mom won't approve."

Though this is highly lame, I believe this lady dodged a bullet. God only knows what else mommy wouldn't approve of.

3) "Yes, I am going to continue acting this way until you break up with me."

This gets props only because the guy was brave (or stupid) enough to cop to his behavior.

4) "I've never been a lady magnet and now it's being thrown in my face constantly. I figure I've got about of year of this luck so I'd better enjoy it."

Again, brave or stupid -- thin line.

5) "I said 'I love you' too soon so now we're tainted because I can't move that fast."

Word from the wise: dude, nobody believes it when you say you "I love you" for the first time during sex. Relax.

6) "I'm going to grad school and they might send me to Antarctica."

I guess if you're going to lie, lie big, but still.

7) "I'm getting married"/ "I'm seeing someone else."

This one I heard from many different ladies and many different times I wished I could reach back in time to deliver a hard slap on these women's behalf.

8) "If you boil fish in a coffee pot, every coffee you make afterwards will always taste like fish."

Translation: I have taken more psychedelic drugs than Timothy Leary, the Grateful Dead and Syd Barrett combined.

9) "I need to be with someone more attractive."

Here's a brilliant idea -- if you're not attracted to her, don't do her any favors by dating her in the first place! Oh, and you're a jerk! (Sorry -- this story is making me mad!)
