There are times that a breakup is hard to get through. For some, though, they can’t get rid of their ex fast enough. These breakups come in a variety of forms but they all have one thing in common — the people involved in them had a bit of a sense of humor. Whether it was intentional or ironic, these breakup stories left us in stitches.
They’re Right
There are plenty of reasons that relationships don’t work out. It’s not always the case that one or even both partners have grown to dislike one another. Still, that doesn’t mean that’s always the case.
As this person summed up quite nicely in this tweet, sometimes it really is one person’s fault that things didn’t work out. After a breakup, sometimes you can’t help but realize that the other person didn’t really do much to help salvage things.
A Hard Truth
A lot of couples stay in close contact. After all, most happy couples truly enjoy spending time with one another and want to keep that level of contact. It definitely isn’t for everyone, though.
This person really thought that they simply weren’t fans of talking to someone constantly. On the other hand, it’s a good idea to consider the quality of your conversation partner when you’re talking that often! Now, they can find someone who they enjoy talking to so frequently.
We’d Hope So
Everyone handles their breakup a little differently. Maybe you opt for the traditional night in with some ice cream or would rather go out with friends. We’re glad to hear that this person is doing well by the standards of Investigation Discovery.
If you aren’t aware, the network Investigation Discovery does a lot of programming about true crime, including plenty of episodes featuring some of the worst outcomes possible – just about anything would be a better way to handle a breakup.
Staying Honest
If there’s one thing that you might find yourself with more of after a breakup, it’s hindsight. It might come much later, but sometimes it’s easier to see things outside of a situation.
This means that when you really start to crush on someone, you might see better of it later on. This person defined this feeling pretty well in just a few words and a picture of a trash can. We have to say, the saying on the trash can really worked in capturing people’s attention it seems.
What’s the Secret?
There are a few things in a relationship that might immediately raise a few red flags. At first, we can see why this person might think that their ex had a new boyfriend.
However, even if they did, the person in question here is their ex, so they aren’t together anymore. Yet, if they had stopped to ask “who” Jerome was before jumping to conclusions, it may not have led to this hilarious misunderstanding.
Always on Your Mind
Not everyone likes to hear things like “we can still be friends” or other endearing clichés during a breakup. So, what can you say instead?
Danny Ricker took to Twitter with an idea for an alternative that isn’t overly sweet but tells them that you’ll always think of them. It just so happens that it’ll be when they’re trying to log into their bank account. We’re not sure the results will be great but it’s good if you want to end the conversation.
Wait a Second
There are a lot of go-to phrases that friends might say when helping each other through a breakup. This can come in a variety of forms. One that this Twitter user took issue with was their friends claiming that their ex was ugly.
Obviously, this person isn’t too concerned with their ex’s feelings, though. What they are concerned about is that in insulting their ex, their friends were kind of insulting their taste.
Hmm, Interesting
During a breakup, people say a lot of things. “I can’t live without you,” is a particularly dark approach, though. This person wasn’t about to let it go after their ex said it either.
In fact, they were ready to check in later to note that they were, in fact, still alive. So, it seems like their attempt to insist that this person stays weren’t as serious as their ex tried to lead them to believe.
Not Missing a Beat
As we mentioned earlier, everyone handles breakups differently. As such, you can’t really compare your experience to someone else’s and be too hard on yourself.
Still, there are some people who come back from a breakup so fast that you can’t help but feel impressed. It would be impressive all on its own if this person’s mom had only bought a new house and car in such quick succession – not to mention a breakup on top of it all!
Never Change
Not everyone wants to see their ex stay unhappy after a breakup. Many people wish their ex the best, just not with them as their partner. This person seems like they were genuinely happy to meet their ex’s new partner.
Still, it doesn’t seem like they were too surprised to hear their ex’s lackluster description of their eight-month relationship. In fact, it all seemed a little too familiar to them. We wonder how their not-girlfriend would describe the relationship.
Not Pulling Punches
There are certain situations where you may stay friends with your ex after your romantic relationship ends. That isn’t always the case, though.
When this person’s ex hit them up to ask when they could see them again, they weren’t about to give in. Still, they weren’t going to leave them without any memory of them. Any time they wanted to see them, all they had to do was open their social media account and pine from a good distance.
Putting It All Out There
An unfortunate part of breakups is that you’re probably left explaining what happened. After all, people are probably going to ask when you tell them.
This person seemed either really sick of going to everyone individually or just wanted to make sure there was a public record of their ex’s indiscretions. After reading this tweet, there’s no question about what exactly ended their relationship. We’re sure that their ex faced a bit more criticism with this information publicly available.
Some Interesting Options
It’s not a great feeling to have to deliver news to someone that will make them upset. This can make figuring out how to break up with someone hard. This person came up with a few options, some of which are better to avoid.
For instance, we agree that you probably shouldn’t break up with someone over Facebook. Conversely, we might reserve the concept of breaking up with a sheet cake unless you’re sure you don’t mind really burning a few bridges. It does have a comedic factor, to its advantage.
Keeping the Photos
It can help to work through a breakup with friends or family to support you. This particular Twitter user potentially has the best support from their grandmother.
While many people want to destroy photos of themselves and their ex, what are you to do if you like how you look in those photos? This grandma wasn’t about to give up a stash of photos featuring her grandchild so she just cut their ex out of each one. Problem solved!
Gone with a GIF
There are a lot of ways to end a relationship with someone in a way that you don’t talk to them again. A GIF is an interesting choice. Their choice of GIF only makes this exchange all the more bizarre.
Why use a scene where a toy is getting its owner’s name erased in a breakup? It just seems like maybe Toy Story wasn’t the way to go here. At least they didn’t have to talk to them again after this.
Not a Great Look
Once in a while, you might find yourself missing your ex. Like a previous tweet suggested, some people turn to Instagram to see what they’re up to. There are some basic rules to looking at your ex’s pictures, though.
That might include that you don’t want them to know that you were looking through their page. One way to fail at that aim is to carelessly swipe your phone’s screen only to like an entire album of photos.
Thanks, Mom
When you go through a breakup, you might bite your tongue later to keep the peace. After all, maybe you don’t want to open up a fight unnecessarily. Not everyone is as convinced to keep the peace, though.
Sometimes, they might use that power to get some of the revenge that you personally wouldn’t. Still, we feel a bit bad for the new girlfriend in question who got caught in the crossfire.
Over It
Sometimes breakups can get pretty messy. This can include accusations hurled around that are hurtful and, at certain points, just baseless and mean. It seems like this person didn’t forget everything that their ex accused them of doing.
So, when they had the nerve to hit them up and ask what they were doing, they made sure to let them know exactly what they didn’t want to hear. Hey, at least they finally got to try it all out.
Forgive But Don’t Forget
Not every breakup is as final as the last. Sometimes, couples eventually find their way back together in the end and it all works out. That doesn’t necessarily mean that your partner forgets your initial breakup, though.
As this person can attest to, they may not let you forget it either. Yet, it’s good to see that they can joke lightheartedly about a rough patch in their relationship now that it’s all worked out.
Just Helping Edit
At some point in a breakup, anything past that point can become too little, too late. Plus, not every apology is accepted or enough to make up for the original infraction.
When this person got a letter from their ex, they knew exactly what to do with it – all they needed was a red pen to get started. Instead of writing a letter of their own back, they made sure to offer some constructive criticism on the apology.
That’s One Tactic
There are times that your ex probably doesn’t want you looking at their social media pages. One great hint is that if you’re blocked, maybe it’s time to back off.
Unfortunately for this person, their ex just wouldn’t take a hint to leave them alone. In fact, they went to rather ridiculous measures just to access this person’s Instagram account. They know that everyone knows that the dog isn’t in charge of the account, right?
Missing You(r Netflix)
There are times that you really miss your ex. Maybe it’s not even them but something you did together or an activity you shared. In the modern world, that might include losing your streaming services in the breakup.
After all, there’s no guarantee you’ll still have access to Netflix after you’re no longer dating the account owner. This person answered the question, “If you could ask your ex anything right now, what would it be?”
