People on Twitter are sharing the worst way they got dumped and honestly, it’s brutal

Imagine getting a breakup text from your boyfriend as he lies next to you x

11 months ago

Relationships are tricky, they’re messy, and unfortunately for every one of us actively dating at the moment, they don’t always work out. Breakups absolutely suck, and they’re even worse when the other person chooses to do the deed at the most inconvenient time, or worse, the most inconvenient method possible.

When someone on Twitter asked people for the worst ways they’ve been dumped, it started a thread that could make anyone that read it physically cringe. This is for anyone who was broken up with by their significant other’s friend on the playground, or by email over the pandemic: we’re all with you in solidarity.

1. I would literally rather be anyone other than the friend.

Standing behind them, about to surprise them, as they were asking their friends to do it for them.

2. Losing your car and your girlfriend in one night is the worst

3. Imagine being on a submarine, dreaming of your person, and coming back to this

getting ghosted after waiting through a 7-month submarine deployment in which we stayed in touch, when we were dating for ~5 weeks before the deployment started

4. Playground romances forever broke us

middle school. middle of the courtyard. valentine's day. presents ready for him in hand. he comes up to me, puts his hand on my shoulder, said "it's over" & walked away. never told me why. ruined love for me forever.

5. Just checking in with your ex to make sure they’re ok

This girl dumped me for a guy who worked in a grocery store who had a kid with a convicted killer

6. Perhaps a bit extreme when you have a child

LOLLL i was living with him and his parents, i'm sure our kid was only a few months old. we had a fight, he went to sleep in OUR bed, he TEXTED me saying we're breaking up 💀💀💀 what a time

7. Ah yes, of course, the classic

Years ago, I found out the guy I’d been spending 4-5 nights a week for 4.5 months, going on dinner & movie dates he paid for, and sleeping with… we were never DATING, we were just HANGING OUT that whole time.

8. The timing of this seems a little off

When I was 19. I got diagnosed with a heart defect and had a traumatic visit to the ER over a weekend where I had to be defibrillated to save my life. When I got discharged a week later, my gf dumped me because she "didn't miss me that much" after not seeing me for a week

9. The ultimate red flag is when his MUM breaks up with him for you

I got a letter from my boyfriend of three years’ mom saying “I don’t know how to tell you this, but Terry got married.” We were going to different colleges and he was “seeing” another girl and got her pregnant. Destroyed me for years.

10. Parental problems? The natural solution is to break up with the SO that they like

Went like this:

Her: Hey I really like you and really love spending time with you but we can't be together anymore.

Me: Uhhh… wtf!!! Why? Did I do something wrong?

Her: No, actually your great it's just my Dad likes you and I fucking hate him soooo we can't be together.

Me:…

11. The laughter though

She invited me to her place and showed me a bunch of baby stuff and said “ im pregnant “ then laughed and said “ oh its not yours tho”

12. The psychic needs to answer some questions

I gifted him a session with a psychic and the psychic told him that his ex was his soul mate so he moved back in with her.

13. Cringe supreme

14. No comments, just apologies

My ex-husband wrote me a 10 page letter detailing everything that was wrong with me and then on the last page he said of course as a result of my inadequacies he'd been sleeping with someone else and was leaving me. I got the divorce papers the following Valentine's Day.

15. I hope you at least like Tom Hardy?

She sent me two life-size cardboard cutouts of Tom Hardy as a random gift, so of course I assumed everything was going great, but it turned out they were Dear John Tom Hardys.

16. That moment when you need to comfort them but they don’t know they need comforting yet

not me but my friend: while he was away on a hike she called all his friends, including me, to tell us. he only found out when he got back
