It's not you, it's me

I was thinking about some good excuses that people use when breaking up. I don’t mean “It’s not you, it’s me”, which is universal for “It’s so fucking you”, I mean really good, clever, funny ones. I asked the LRM forum member’s and here are a few we may have used in the past or wish we had the guts to use…

Dogmatix: “I don’t see how I could ever love someone who cheated on me with Everquest II. Did our questing in Azeroth mean nothing to you?”

Dexter: “My mothership has returned to get me and I must leave. Pay no attention to my android double when you see it.”

Candy: “I’m sorry, but I like girls, I just wanted to see if I liked boys or not and I don’t.”

Lore: “What, you thought this was a relationship, oh shit sorry, I just wanted sex.”

Metao: “I love you more than anything, but you’re more like a sister than a girlfriend.”

Metao: “This is a pre-emptive break-up.”

Finally Metao shared with us the shortest and possibly most effective of all break up lines…

Metao: “I fucked your Mum.”

And here are a few of my own…

Nikita: “I have a confession to make, I’m really only 14, well more like 13 and a half, but I’m sooooo mature for, like, my age.”

Niktia: “I cant see you anymore, you’re code isn’t valid.”

Feel free to add your own in the comments.

    The one from metao is great but I guess you could always use: “Yeah…. I got this rash and im sure its your fault” I am pretty sure that an accusation like that would get you on your way.

    This one is sure to get an eyebrow from the ladies:

    “I work for the government. I’m a spy and I have to go on a mission. It’s dangerous work and you’re likely never to hear from me again. It would be in your best interest to never speak of me or the time we shared again.”

    You don’t need to come up with an excuse, and you get to have a little fun for a couple of days.

    Heck! If it’s an emergency(or you’re specially gifted at being a jerk) you can get them to dump you in 5 minutes. AH! Now there’s a bestseller waiting to happen!

    and then the next time you hear of him, is when he is ‘about to’ break up with his ‘latest’ girlfriend whilst already going after another girl a week before

    “it’s a battle i will refuse to fight, even if i can win”

    same person, same e-mail, talking about the girl’s parent’s reluctance for her to be with him.

    utterly charming.
