We’ve all heard them, probably the same one more than once. Here are the top 10 sayings when you are doing the dumping or being dumped.

This man should write a book about being dumped (British joke!)

‘It’s me, not you’. (Truth – I haven’t got a clue how to dump this person so I’ll blame it on me!)

‘I need a break from us’. (Truth - Would like to go out and party and see what they are missing)

‘You’re too much of a friend’. (Truth - I blatantly don’t fancy you, stay away)

‘I don’t deserve you’. (Truth – I feel guilty as hell and want to make myself feel better)

‘I’m not ready for a relationship’. (Truth - There are still so many women/men to pull)

Cont…

‘We can still be friends’. (Truth - As soon as you get out the door I’m on the phone to my new lover)

‘I think we should see other people’. (Truth - I already met some guy/girl and we did it 10 times last night!)

‘I’ve got too much going on to have a relationship’. (Truth - I’m bored and need more going on in my life)

‘Your parents hate me and I can’t deal with it’. (Truth – I can’t think of anything else so blame it on their side of the family)

‘I saw the way you looked at that person, I can’t go on like this’. (Truth – I’ll blatantly lie, putting the blame on them so I don’t feel crap about it, brilliant)

READER COMMENTS:

I have been dating a gentlemen for 4 months.  We recently had a falling out and he said that he does not deserve me.  The reason, he isnot ready financially and that bothers him. We talked for great length and he does not want to call it off. Is it possible that your definition and his are different?  Please help, and thank you in advance for your response. smile

Hi Romaine

I don’t believe so. As a man I understand what men really mean when they say things. There may be a 10% chance that he truly means it, however from experience I’d suggest that he is just looking for an excuse to make himself feel better and this is possibly the lamest one he could have chosen!
