Breakup: Quick witted lines when someone breaks up with you

“The sorrow that does not speak gnaws at the heart until it breaks,” said Shakespeare in his famous play Macbeth. So we should let the grief speak when our partner dares to break up with us. Preferably spontaneous, unfiltered and as nasty as possible.

Breakups are pretty unsexy

But who has the necessary quick-wittedness ready in such moments? In the case of a separation with an announcement, one is perhaps already so jaded that the final line may still get a “meh” out of us. Or it comes out of the blue, and our shattered hopes and dreams for our future together force their way out of our bodies into Niagara Falls shooting out of our eyes. Rarely does much more come out of us than a sobbing: “But … but …!”

Not sexy. Of course, people rarely wait to be broken up with (also, when in doubt, it’s better to be the person to break up than to be the one to be broken up with). However, it never hurts to be prepared for all eventualities.

It pays to be prepared

So it doesn’t matter whether you’re mentally preparing for the fact that someone could break up with you (if that’s the case, then joking aside: Isn’t there something else that can be done? Or should you maybe draw the painful line? Or do you just have Fancy a little smile (we can all use that anyway): We’ve got 12 quick-witted breakup responses that are anything but “mature” or “diplomatic.”

But to be honest, who always wants to be the “reasonable” one in every situation? Sometimes it just has to come out, contrary to the spirit of the times, even without a filter. We hope you enjoy reading.
