    No one breaks up with me. I break up with them.


    "Hey, we need to talk. It's not you, it's...."

    "NO! I QUIT YOU FIRST! DONE! GET OUT!"

    :D I am SO using this next time someone tries to break up with me.

    C - none of the above

    Tell me the truth, if it hurts my feeling so be it - but don't lie and dont get all immature and start causing issues that are not there. If you're not happy and you don't want to date.... bye!

    Just give me a reason is all that I would ask for. The "Not knowing why" is hard.... that got me last time. =/

    Another vote for C.

    Truthful, but not harsh.

    Just be honest. And do it in person....not a passive-aggressive in an e-mail or a text. That's just plain cowardly.

    I perfer to be broken up with while standing in a huge rain downpour, while the girl is standing under a hello kitty umbrella with perfect hair and makeup while she hands me back my toothbrush and razor that I kept at her place with Cinderelleas- "don't know what you got till it's gone" is playing real loud. Then as she walks away I drop to my knees and reach up to the clouds screaming "whyyyyyyyyy" all at the same time that my jeep explodes in slow motion for the dramatic effect in the back ground

    Dude, that's funny ... haha!

    C) Break the news gently and tell me to my face! But don't give me any crap such as "it's not you it's me" Just be honest.

    I'm blunt and honest and I prefer they be too when it comes to that situation.
    It needs to be a face-to-face conversation.
    Don't try and send me a b.s. text message, Yahoo I.M. or do it over a phone call.
    Shows who the real man of the relationship was.

    E. Hey honey, I have this really bad burning down below.

    F. Hey sweetie, I was wondering if we could spend more time talking

    G. Hey babe, I think I wanna get married!

    H. Ummm, Sweetie....I've had a sex change

    Give it to me quick and nasty with parting sex and I'll be fine...unless it's in the here and now, then I'm dying that my wife is leaving me. In that case, I want her to suffer in our marriage, because I love her madly and care teribly about my happiness.

    Method A: Have them gently break the news to you, possibly lying to make you feel better. "It's not you, it's me" type stuff.

    Method B: Have that person intentionally make you hate them. They withhold sex, fight and scream at you over nothing, become just an overall crappy spouse, until you finally have enough and end it with them.

    I certainly hope I never waste time in a relationship with a coward who would use either method!

    I think I would actually prefer a letter. If he's the letter type guy. I know I get my thoughts out much better on paper, and then he could just say everything he wanted to, the way he wanted to. Or maybe that's just the way I would prefer to break up with someone else.

    How about getting arrested because you're an idiot drug addict

    That works pretty well.

    I prefer neither. It would kill my soul if my husband were to announce that he no longer wished to be married to me, especially after 24 years of overall happy marriage.

    In the past it's always been ME doing the breaking up. I honestly don't remember how I did it. It seemed that it was more of a mutual thing and we just drifted apart, without any drama, though. Easier that way, I suppose.

    I would prefer option F find me a suitable replacement and present them before break up for approval.

    Be honest. That way if you decide to get back together then there was trust and no immaturity.

    What about just telling the truth and that's it? I don't play those kind of games, neither at the beginning nor at the end of a relationship.
