You know it’s done for when she isn’t even trying to hide the fact that she is lying to you. Pick up what little pride you have left and leave.

If you’re going to leave someone in person, you may as well just say it out loud rather than use calendars, right?

Politics can get very heated. Maybe this is why some people choose not to vote. Sadly, this happened.

Quite frankly, any breakups that aren’t straight forward are just mean. It’s always easier to just rip off the band-aid. However, if you had to choose a song to get your message across, its “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.”

Nothing says, “it’s over” better than being abandoned somewhere without notice. Sure, there will be a lot of denial and unresolved feelings later, but the point will get across.

You can’t blame this guy from trying to do something nice for his girlfriend. The whole thing about a ticket not being valid wasn’t his fault. At the very least, she should have said something more than “Peace out.” It’s outrageous.

Texts aren’t good either, but it’s far better than getting a breakup email. What has the world come to? I hope they found someone better.

If you’re trying not to ruin someone’s birthday by breaking their hearts, you should break up with them at least a month before their birthday. If that isn’t possible, hold out until after their birthday. Breaking up with them at midnight or on the morning of their birthday is not the way to go.

This one is almost like a blessing in disguise. It can be nerve-wracking to let someone know you’re not interested in being together anymore. So, when they take the initiative, you don’t have to be the bad guy. Say thank you, bow/curtsy, and leave.

The hardest part of the breakup process isn’t letting them know that you’re leaving, it’s trying to explain why. This guy here needs to be emulated. Most of us already hate each other, you’re welcome.

There is no excuse for this. Again, a conversation is the grown-up thing to do. As for you, lady, you dodged a bullet here.

No one wants to know that the person they are seeing has been cheating on them for nearly half the length of their relationship. On the plus side, it makes your decision process easier. It’s their loss, not yours.

I don’t think the actual break up hurt as much as the thought of all the sacrifices he made for her. I mean, he’s a stand-up guy, but it sucks to be him.

No one likes dealing with confrontation. Some of us just tune things out and hope the other parties won’t notice, while some us prefer to physically remove ourselves from these situations. Either of them work.

That must have been rough for her friend in the backseat. Standard procedure for friends after this is to badmouth the guy who broke up with you to help you calm down. What do you do when the guy is giving you a ride home? Awkward.

One of the worst things about breakups is that it ruins your usual hangouts. For fear of running into the ex or being reminded about a failed relationship, we tend to avoid what used to be our favorite restaurants, fast food joints, malls, theaters…and now Paris for this poor soul.

Oddly, she drove to this drive-thru for the sole purpose of breaking up with the guy. She could have waited until they got home, right? Now, he guy can’t bring people to a drive-thru for fear of another attack.

If anyone is going to complain about their partner’s grammatical errors on an online forum like Twitter, they should probably make sure they don’t make mistakes themselves. I’m sorry, you deserve it.

The confidence it would take to pull this one off is astonishing. That said, she’s lucky he left on his own. There’s better out there.

We appreciate the list. All we can say is, “Hang in there. Someone will come.”

Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving, birthdays, it’s too much. I mean, we can all hold out for a few days, can’t we? The world is a cruel place.

It sucks when everyone knows about your break up before you do. It’s also disrespectful to put it all out there without speaking to your partner directly. Do it in person.

People think asking to be friends somehow makes breakups less brutal than they would be, but it doesn’t. People can tell you don’t mean it. You may as well just get it over with respectfully and part ways in peace.

So, his girlfriend asked her older brother to break up with her boyfriend. He then chose to leave a voicemail on the family answering machine and her boyfriend didn’t even get the message until his mom told him. That’s brutal.

You’ve got to give him props for creativity. However, with these things, the goal is to get the message across as quickly as possible.

Breakups are hard for a reason, you still have feelings for each other. If your partner can respond this quickly with no concern for you, count yourself lucky, you dodged a bullet.

It almost feels like they are handing in their resignation letters at the office. Nothing good comes in the form of a letter.

She was in the middle of a potentially deadly situation and he thought, “Now’s as good a time as any.” Apparently, once his mind is made up, nothing can change it.

I can’t think of a single situation where it’s okay for your parents to do the breaking up for you. Being grounded is not good enough. You can’t do this and not look like a coward.

Some people just want to see the world burn. I can think of at least a hundred alternatives to this. The box and gift probably raised her spirits higher than they were making the fall even more painful than it should have been. Cruel, so cruel.

At this point there’s nothing to hold onto. Him not even realizing it was her birthday should have been a painful eye-opener.

Why make him purchase a plane ticket if you knew you didn’t want him there in the first place? Imagine how frustrating it is having your flight delayed and then having to deal with this.

Finally, something we can stand by. If you have a good reason to end things, you’re not the bad guy, it just isn’t going to work.

How do you even deal with this? Breakups give everyone some closure and help you sort out your feelings. This is the sort of thing that scars your love life.

She was there and probably participated in the breakup, but just can’t quite figure out the details of what happened. Who is the bad guy here?

Understandably, it can be disappointing to find out that the person you’re seeing doesn’t even remember your name. However, in this case, we can give him the benefit of doubt.

I get the sense that there was some miscommunication here. The girl probably thought this was a friendly meal. He thought it was more than that. Too bad.

Was it deliberately played out on Halloween so they could use this pun? Ghosting under normal circumstances is wrong, but Halloween can apparently be an exception.

No one should be forced to deal with situations they can’t handle. However, bailing at the first sign of hardship without even trying to help him figure things out is a new low.

Why bring her along to your family’s gathering if you and everyone in your family know she won’t be part of your lives soon? Wouldn’t it have been easier to handle this away from the rest of the family?

Is it brutal? Yes, but sometimes that’s what breakups should be, straight and to the point without any false hope.

They weren’t dating, were they? I don’t see how this even counts unless she had already let him know how she felt about him.

What if he did get that job? We all know he didn’t, but what if he did? Getting his mom in on it was not cool.

If he deliberately sent the text to her, we’d have to deduct points for cowardice. However, if he tried to seek advice from a friend, then that’s cool. No one is being fooled here, though.

Weed probably meant a lot more to him than we think. There’s nothing wrong with making it clear what you are about. However, no one is buying that lame excuse.

First, stealing your partner’s phone for any reason is not acceptable. What worries me more is why he stole her phone. Leave a handwritten note or send a text. Why go through all the trouble of stealing her phone just to change her lock screen to that? Am I missing something here?

In what world is it easier to call their mom than it is to call them directly? I’d like to know what his mom’s response was because I doubt she was kind after hearing this.

I get it, breaking up is hard. It’s possible that the nervousness of the moment got to his head, but 40% is an odd way to put that. It makes for a good story, though.

It’s funny how the world works, isn’t it? He probably mentioned how he broke up to his new girlfriend. She, in turn, poetically thought she’d borrow it from him.

I know I have used the words brutal and cruel multiple times in this list, but this takes the cake. In front of everyone on the kiss cam. It can’t get worse than that.

She was never with you to begin with. If we are being honest here, the one losing here is the guy who left with her.

I must commend her strength here. If we’re being honest, it’s hard to fall into the dreaded spiral of self-pity when the person breaking up with you is in such an ugly mess. Chances are you might feel a bit for yourself even if you never wanted to break up before.

It’s like people bragging about how they cheated on their ex. Chances are they’ll do the same thing to you. This is where you pack your bags and leave.

It’s bad enough that people get their moms and siblings to break up with people, but how do you get the guts to drag your boss into this? At least he got the day off.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of therapists that outright tell you to break up with anyone. Isn’t that against their code of conduct? Aren’t they supposed to help you make these decisions for yourself?

What a roller coaster this is. We can all agree that six years is big. That’s not something you throw away without some hesitation. I hope he found someone special after the dust settled.

We should all be clear about what we want. This just wasn’t a good fit. It’s funny, but he did the right thing.

What was the game plan here? Did he think that the thrill of the ride would override any sad feelings she would have and they could just leave immediately after?

That took a turn for the worst. Rather than see a girlfriend who is willing to put up with his nonsense, he went down that route? The world we live in…

This is a first. How many people can say that the newspaper had a role to play with their break up? A marriage license? That sucks.

If you’ve been on the internet for a while, you’ve probably run into a few memes against people who put pineapple on their pizza. Maybe you even liked and shared a few yourself. Well, some people out there take this seriously.

Anyone willing to write that on your cast isn’t worth fighting for. Count yourself lucky and walk it off.

Not only did she get her heartbroken, but she also had to watch the rest of the movie without any popcorn. Don’t get me started on having to ask her parents to pick her up.

What a nightmare. Imagine how much preparation must have gone into getting a ring and picking the right moment to pop the question. At least she didn’t hide that she was cheating.

Reading the first part of this tweet boils you up, it makes you want to side with this guy, but how can you? It’s his fault. Who even MSNs? A whole month?

It’s rude and uncalled for, but it is funny. You laughed, didn’t you? It’s okay. There’s no judgement here.

It’s difficult when you break up without the actual break up. She didn’t even bother to tell him they wouldn’t be together anymore.

We don’t realize how much our parents love us until something like this happens. It’s funny that she went through all the trouble, but it’s also adorable.

Sometimes it’s just easier if we don’t hear it out loud. We still know it’s over, but at least we didn’t hear it.

They will come and then you won’t know how to deal with yourself. Relax and wait for your turn.

You know it’s over, so why try any more? Some people try to salvage the situation and fix things while others just give up. There you go.

The worst kind of breakup is the one that has nothing to do with you. Their parents’ past had nothing to do with any of them, but here we are.

It looks like she got rescued. Had her husband not pulled this stunt then, she might have ended up with the other guy. Nice save.

It’s so sneaky. How cruel do you have to be to incorporate your ex in your plan to leave him?

If your partner has plans on Valentine’s Day that don’t include you, it’s safe to say that you aren’t together. It’s a rough way to find out the truth, isn’t it?
