7 Steps to Get Over a Cheating Ex…
hows this for a break up line after 3 years of dating ” I fantasized about ….. (a mutual friend)” “….. is more attractive” than you are.
THis sounds like a lot of women Ive known. You guys say the same stupid crap… hell ive gotten combinations of like 3 or 4 of these. How stupid is that???
I got hit with number 6 a few years ago, on my birthday nonetheless. I wasn’t too crushed about it though and now I have someone who I adore.
I’ve had reasons similar to number 9 given to me several times over the past years. I guess I can be a bit smothering much of the time when I’m dating a guy but that’s just how I am. Oh well. I just need to find someone who doesn’t mind the way I am, and accepts it for what it is. I’m still looking!
The one i heard most often was “i am not good enough for you” or “you deserve better than me” and then one had the nerve to ask me to be the future mother of his children because he said i was an amazing mommy. He said he just was not ready then. Lol ummm… No thanks!

I have to focus on school. My grades are dropping really fast. And the last time you thought I broke up with you, that was my sister. ISNT THAT HORRIBLE?!
Also, you’re really cool and too big of a distraction for my schooling right now.
I’ve gotten 1,2 and 6 before and I’m done with the male gender, moving on to women any takers? haha
he said “I need to fix my life. I have a lot of aoul searching to do.” When I told him that I know he wanted to end our relationship then he said ” you’ve got it all twisted…I just need time to think and you give me no space” what does it mean? break up???
i got dumped a few years ago. this is the line i got: you were so much cooler when we were friends. we can still be friends. (over the phone)

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