Breaking up with someone is messy. You don’t want to end up being the bad guy. There will only be a few times when a guy is being honest about breaking up with a girl while the rest of the times, he is just being a coward. When he is being a coward, he will use all sorts of phrases to end things with you that means something else. The classic example: it’s not you, it’s me.
If you have decent dating experience, you will be able to call them out on their BS. If not, here is every phrase that a guy uses to break up – decoded.
