    wow!

    “I love you…but I’m sorry. I’m too tired to go through
    this right now.”

    where is logic ?
    what did you do with him so he is so tired?

    from my last break up there were quite a few good lines used on me. Keep in mind these were used on right after the other basically in one sitting
    “For what it was worth I thought it was fun”
    “I love you…… but as a friend”
    “I need to see if I would miss you if you weren’t around”
    “You don’t have enough personality”
    “You deserve someone who will treat you like a Queen”

    Throw in numbers 2,3,6,13,14 from your list and you have it.
    hope you can use those lines.

      to Amarylis:

      Oh, those are classic … I especially “love” the second one: “I love you … but as a friend”. Gosh, what men are thinking saying this stuff?

      Anyway, it’s experience and it makes us stronger, right? :) Thank you for sharing! :)

    I’ve read this article before on Cosmo… In fact, same wording on a lot of these quotes.

    strange: when a guy says these things, he ’s heartless.
    when a woman says thbese to break up, we call it ok. Because shec follows her intuition or something
    Why these difference/discrimination – that is based on nothing?

      Lola,
      Relationships are complicated as it is and some men make it worse because they just do NOT have the slightest idea of what they’re doing. Ugh! You’re better off without him. You really are :)

    I got hit with “You can do so much better then me!!” but he wasnt trying to break up with me, he was saying “im really sorry for everything i hope you can forgive me, i love you so much but if you dont love me, i understand, you can do so much better then me!” is this still bad? it would be very helpful if you could tell me.

    xx

      Hey Taylahh,

      Did he just say it in general conversation?? If he wasn’t trying to break up with you, I don’t see why it would be bad UNLESS he was trying to get you to break up with him by trying to get some pity points. But if it wasn’t a ploy to get you to break up, maybe you actually made him feel like you deserved better? Something you said? Something you did? Or it could just be one of those things….you know when you’re in a relationship for a long time and sometimes you just say stuff for the heck of it, to hurt the other person, to make him angry….

    So ladies it is better that a man doesn;t say these things and stay with you and live in a lie???
    That is better ?? Then you can say ; he’s liar!
    That is the consequence. what do you want to hear then at a break-up:
    you’re ugly. I think i can find a better woman

    That is the truth, do you want to hear the truth?
    Then you will all say; ‘not so rude’

    and please answer my eralquestion: why men mustn;t sya these things, bit women are allowed to say everything.

    we men, we are much too nice

    My english is bad. I meant: ‘please answer my early-er question: why men mustn’t say these things, but women are allowed to say everything.

    Yeah sheila of course I’m right.
    This site is male-bashing and male hating.
    If a men say 10 % of this about women, he will be in court. Or he get angry women behind him.
    Yeah that is sexism against men
